The Coming of the Dragon Gods

Posted in The Dragongods, The North on February 18, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

What everyone knows…

The year is 1136, in the 7th epoch of the Raelfaen. The Raelfaen, or more commonly called the Eladrin, have a history that stretches back nearly fifty thousand years on DaoTyr. This is a new age of the world. The sixth epoch ended in 1111, twenty five years ago. The last two years of that age were defined by war: The Eyrolian Empire of the North, the Dragonborn wars that destroyed the Lilthen Sea to the south. The Singers of the Shadow Moot destroyed the monster that was the White Queen at SwordCall and released the Blood of IO which called the original Dragongods of Daotyr back to their terrestrial lands, holdings and powers. These Gods walk in mortal form over their ancient lands, having not been present on DaoTyr since the first age of the world. They are avatars of greater beings and do not have the names of their divine counterparts. Some are kind. Some are cruel. All are powerful sovereigns spread across the globe.

Posted in The Farway on February 18, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

Orithin – dwarf defender: His history is rooted in typical happy family life. He grew up trained in the art of combat the oldest son in a family of 13. He embarked on many adventure bring home large amount of wealth and honor to his family. Orithin eventually started a family of his own leaving seasonal excursions on the seas. On his last day of his three month leave from the Farway, Kornick kissed his wife and three children goodbye. These moments were always hard. Kornick stopped at the from door of his 5 bedroom cottage and felt the need to look back and look upon his family one last time, and a sinking feeling hit him as if this could be last he sees them for his trips on the Farway were always met with more danger then he lead on to his family. Kornick did not dwell on this feeling anymore and eventually returned home in one piece. Upon his arrival home bearing strange and wondrous gifts he found the front door broken in and inside the awful smell of spoied meat. stunned he quickly ran through the cottage only to find his entire family slaughtered. After he laid them to rest in his family tomb he went to the local town looking for answers. The final report was that it was a thieving party of orcs had sacked his cottage, stolen his riches, and killed his family. Unsatisfied with this, Orithin now sets out on a secret mission to use the Farway as his means to uncover the mystery of his family’s death for only he knows of the strange markings found on each member. Although the Icehammer dwarves are mercenaries to the Armies of Men at Harrenfel, Orithin is a friend of Fjorn and serves their mutual cause with great loyalty.

Aolyn, master of winds aboard the Farway, never really knew her mother or her father.  The wind was always her only love. Fierce of character, Aolyn has a remarkable dream life…she is a dreamer…dreaming of dragons and song, wine and joy…

Kornick the Bleak Assassin

Posted in Gavin Wel, The Mice Eyes on February 18, 2011 by coyoteandthunder


kornick – gnome assassin: unknown background – raised by an old street vendor named Buttle whom used his trade as cover for assassinations. Kornick helped in these plots to earn his keep, learning the stealthy skills of hunting human prey. Kornick has no memory of these days on the streets – for when he became of an older age he developed dementia and has continually relies on his skill of killing to lead his way. Often he hoped a new killing contract would help lead him to remember, only to be driven further into confusing madness. The ones who do know him, keep his identity secret for he has been molded into the perfect assassin. I smell foul play done to the mind of Kornick.

Kornick is a blood member of the Bleak Disciples
