    The Coming Storm Arc: 1 (OOC)

    The Coming Storm :Arc One


    This will be a friendly mixture of Pathfinder and D&D 3.5, with a low restriction on classes or races. As GM/DM I will have the final say however as you can ask many of my long time players I am pretty liberal. As long as it doesn’t break the game have at it!

    This story line will be thrusting you into the World of Valis, into three (to five) Arcs that signal the change in the story that can be brought on by; party member death, major npc death, natural disaster, or simple awesomeness of your actions.

    Arc one starts you on the Twin Island of Eurdin, known through the islands as the prime location to live. Ruled over by a fair King that cares for his people, life is neither simple nor easy. Each person much work for their pay and food, those unable or unwilling often die. You all are each at a festival, in a village outside the main capital city.

    History: In the world of Valis, there are groupings of islands that are far from any other land mass by years of voyages. It was once a unified island chain, ruled by a mighty emperor known as the Lord Ruler. He had brought together the High Elves of Fwellway, the Dwarves of Kaldim, the enlightened and barbaric Humans of Erdin, The Beastfolk of Louge, the Gnomes of the Isles of Marr, the Drow and Dark Elves of Lafeyyet, and the mighty Shissar of New Antioc.

    He was rumored to be immortal, setting up a vast land that had previously been ruled over by a horde of goblins, orc, troll, and Dark Naga. Using power he had supposedly stolen from a god he drove back the darker races, establishing a large connection of settlements, fortress, and cities that outshined all the other islands together.

    For five hundred years he ruled overseeing the island until a great sundering occurred. Half of land mass of Kunark vanished under the waters, never to return. A hundred years later you find yourself in a world ruled by Kings and Counts that vie for control while they all currently bow to the King of Eurdin.

    Few if any have seen the lands of Kunark now, as the dark races had once again taken control killing an plundering all that set foot or try to reclaim the promised land.

    ::Ashen Furred Yarrowson (some people just call him Ash)::
    http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetvie...sheetid=436003

    ::Biography::

    Ashen is the adopted second son of Yarrow Bromson, a mid level arcane specialist from Norren; a midsized town in the eastern forests of Eurdin. As interesting as the idea of a human randomly taking a catfolk kit home one night is, how he stumbled across Ashen was even stranger. The arcanist quite literally did stumbled across the child. It was on his return journey home after one of his research trips. Half-blinded by the storm that had sprang up, he was struggling along the coastline path home when he tripped over the wailing kit, wrapped in a blanket that was, by then, soaked through with rain. Human decency prevented him from just leaving the helpless kit to die, and since he could find no evidence of any other catfolk, or even beastfolk in the area, he took the child home with him. He eventually adopted the kit as his own child after he fail to find any information about any ships from or to Logue that would have passed by the area around that time.

    Yarrow, either displaying a fit of creativity or depressing lack of it, named him Ashen Furred Yarrowson (because the color of his fur was similar to that of 'clean' ashes). Yarrow already had a child, a boy only a year older than Ashen was (assumed to be). Once it was made clear that Ashen wasn't a pet, the two began tolerating each other, that eventually evolving to a relatively normal brotherhood, if fraught with a strong sense of sibling rival. It didn't take long for Yarrow to realize his new child's Affinity with magic, and his research eventually revealed Ashen's stormborn blood. Since such power could be dangerous untrained, and since he had learned playing favourites in anything could lead to a house wrecking war between Han and Ashen, he took it upon himself to teach them both magic.

    Now, affinity hardly meant interest, much less love, and the same could be said about the 'because my brother has it' reaction. So though Yarrow tried to teach them the arcane arts, neither found it to be their favoured subject, and both still strayed to other interests, never really paying the lessons the fullest attention they should have. In fact, the only reason they did the bit of training did in it was mostly just to please their father. Instead of both learning all that the lore that their father was attempting to teach them, the both focused. Ashen picked up on the more destructive magic arts, starting down the path of a warmage, while his brother instead learned the more subtle arts of the beguiler. Yarrow took it to be another display of their rivalry and their tendency to opposed each other. In reality, they had both paled at the amount of work Yarrow was giving them, discussed it, and decided to split the load, flipping a coin to determine who got what. Not that they would ever admit that to there father.

    Once they attained a level in it though, they went back to their main interest. Ashen, still a catfolk despite his human family, had been learning the ways of a field scout, often bringing back prey from his hunting trips. He learned from the town's best hunter, favouring a spear over a blade. Han, on the other hand, learned the ways of the Swashbuckler, earning cash through exhibition matches and duels. Ever so often, the two would spar (often read full on battle to surrender), spear vs sword, an event certain to attract a crowd.

    Still, the two are best friends, helping each other out when the need arises. Ashen's path often takes him away from home for days, even weeks at a time, and he has since come to better appreciate the magic his father taught him, and the edge it gives him in a bind. It has been a few weeks since he and Han last met, or sparred, and they made plans to meet up at the festival if they had time, since both were going to be there; Hans hired on to participate in an the exhibition fight and Ashen contracted as a trail guide by a large family (though the contract was only to get them there).

    ================================================== ====================================

    Name: Mirri Cassidy a.k.a Subject #22
    http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetvie...sheetid=435873
    ================================================== ======================================

    Class: Wilder

    ================================================== ======================================

    Race: Human

    Age: 15

    ================================================== ======================================

    Personality: Mirri is an optimist, if rather unstable. Her mind itself has been warped by the process leaving her unable to read other people's emotions or feel sympathy. She is greeted with hostility and fear everywhere she goes as it is nearly impossible to conceal her wings or her tentacle like arms. Although she takes it as a smile as she does not understand why they look at her that way. Her eyes have no pupils.

    ================================================== ======================================

    Appearance: Due to abberant blood and horrific expirimentation, Mirra has unusually large eyes. This gives her great visual prowess but makes her look extremely strange. Her black hair is mildly slimy as is her skin. The researchers had grafted membranous wings to her back and altered her arms which she attempts to hide with a large fur cloak. She has a long snakelike tail growing out of her tailbone.

    ================================================== ======================================

    Background: Mirri was the result of an expiriment to bind the essense of a mind flayer to a human body and intentionally force a mutation in the subject. Also known as #22 to many college mages, she was the first living survivor of the process after 21 tries. The girl grew up isolated from society while researchers tested her potential in both military and espionage applications. Fleshwarper magi in the project expirimented on the child granting her membranous wings, a tail, and salamander-like skin.

    In time the girl grew powerful, but still isolated from the world at large. Longing to see the world she broke out when she was just 13 years old leaving behind a trail of ripped and mangled bodies. Fearing discovery Mirri stuck to side streets and dark alleys living among the fringes of society. She was taken in by a patron magi family curious as to who she was.

    She lived as an adopted member of the Cassidy family for a time, learning the ways of civilization and how to live properly. But still was forbidden from leaving the mansion. Both of the cassidy children treated her as an anomaly that they couldn't explain. She herself knew only scant bits of the Mind Flayer Project that had spawned her. She tried to leave her past behind, but in time surviving researchers affilated with the project tracked her down and she was forced to flee again.

    Tiana Valdour

    Daytime
    http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetvie...sheetid=405355

    Nighttime
    http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetvie...sheetid=405352





    Background

    From a young age, she was fascinated with archeology and in particular the civilizations that used to live on her home islands. the Isles of Marr to be specific. Attracting the attention of an archeologit, he took tiana under his wing and brought her to some ruins belonging to the Corax. The people were a cruel and sadistic race of avians. A mixture of crow and human. The species suffered a dratic decline for an unknown reason however.

    Upon exploring the ruins, Tiana and the archeologist were seperated and she was forced to find her way through the ruins. Her wits served her well and she found herself in a religious chamber. at the center was a mask. Specifically one that wouldn't look out of place in a masqurade ball. Curious, she held it but he realized her mistake too late. A magical power was still in the mask and it bound itself to her face. For the next few years of her life, every night brought a transformation into what she thought was a Corax. Finally, in the mot recent six years of her life, she was contacted by the Raven Queen herself.

    The goddess explained that she intended to make the corax into a species that would follow her rule and principles, much like Bahamut and his Dargonborn of Bahamut. However, the species she ended up with weren't what she punished them by stripping themof most of their powers. She believed the problem was caused by using the crow as a base and making them more human. This time, starting with Tiana, she will do a similar process in her second attempt.

    Darren is a traveling merchant that goes from town to town filling orders. He went through an apprenticeship with the gnomes learning how to combine technology with magic. More of his story will be given out as the story progresses.
