Player Characters
Nezra - A promising student in the art of Necromancy, Nezra was trained by the elven witch Taniesa Il'Pharin prior to the plague of Markashik. When the Necromancer Hunts began Nezra fled from Naltronia, seeking refuge on a vessel headed for the Isles. There she hoped to start anew. While on Halim'ra, in the settlement of Darigad Nezra began working her magic once more, raising the dead to do her bidding. Surprisingly, the people of Darigad took to it well, allowing the Necromancer to continue her work so long as she provided protection to the city at night. Since that time, Darigad has prospered and its immortal guard continues to roam the night in its protection.
Aeluna of the Scarlet Order - A bright young student of the mind, Aeluna drew the attention of all those who encountered her. So great was this draw that people sought her out in the hopes that they could join her ranks to be near to her. The supernatural draw forced her to leave Arambashia or risk exposing her psionic nature. Her departure ensured her secret was kept. She traveled with her faithful companion Telrask. Aeluna established the Scarlet Order in the settlement of Darigad on Halim'ra. She took up responsibility to guard the city by day, working seamlessly with Nezra to maintain an around the clock protection system.
Calemis V'anyrul - Once a druid of the Conclave, Calemis was ousted by the higher powers of the order who accused him of being a practitioner of Necromancy and siding with the Blighters. He was named Plashen and cast out of their ranks but the removal was not peaceful. A rogue Blighter faction stole him away under the noses of the Conclave, but the extraction did not go overlooked. During their escape the druids of the Conclave assaulted them, though Calemis managed to get aboard a ship before passing out from his injuries. Calemis was in the process of creating a grove on Halim'ra when circumstances regarding the blighter Remeridas the Whitherer forced him to chase down the rogue druid. Calemis passed into the Stream of Souls before putting an end to the blighters plans.
Milo Feebe - Milo is a hobbit, trapped within the body of a cat due to the cruel intentions of a banished wizard who placed his essence in a ring dedicated to the god of Fire. When Milo put the ring on he was permanently transformed. Despite being trapped in a cat, the little hobbit has made the most of his situation, putting formidable fire magic to use despite his polymorphed state. Often comical relief, Milo was readily accepted by the party despite sometimes immoral actions.
Godric Avery - While sailing the seas, Godric discovered a ship headed his way. In the hopes that the vessel was a Naltronian ship he could harass, he plotted a direct intercept course and the rest was history. The battle between the two ships was short lived when the Necromancer Nezra bored a massive hole in the hull of Godric's ship. Several of Godric's crew offered a desperate prayer to the goddess Zamikye, resulting in a dire whale attacking both ships leaving them hopelessly damaged. Forced to work together, the two crews quickly bonded and have been sailing ever since.
Villians
Remeridas the Whitherer - Approaching the group as Famadrin, Remeridas convinced them to help him seek an artifact of incredible power. The group agreed, chartering a ship manned by the crazed Kaj'vorn to sail for the Wyrm's Heart in Ordinth Caphil. There they slipped into the lair of the Red Queen and stole the Feylus from her realm. With the Feylus in hand, Remeridas destroyed half of the plant life on Halim'ra in an attempt to get the attention of the Druidic Conclave. The Feylus drained him of magic, forcing him to seek the Cave of Wonders; said to grant one wish to whoever entered it.
Pursued by the group, now led by Calemis V'anyrul, the blighter discovered the cave moments before they did. His wish was to have the Feylus returned to him at which point his powers were restored. Using the Feylus, the blighter fled ahead of the party back toward Halim'ra. Believing that he would finish what he started, the group followed suit.
Once back to the isle, Remeridas used the Feylus once again to restore life to the land, but this time he gave it the power to defend itself. When the Conclave soon came knocking on his doorstep, Remeridas called upon the earth to slay them. The power of the Feylus awoke on of the world's ancient creators, the Prime of Earth, an elemental of massive proportion that arose from the land with Remeridas and the party on its back. In the confusion, Remeridas fled, leaping off the elemental and vanishing into the forest below. From there he boarded a ship a vanished, taking the Feylus with him. He has not been heard from since.
Immorashi - Having had an artifact stolen from her horde, the mighty Red Queen set out to personally solve the problem. She attacked the group as they tried to leave, destroying their ship with her breath weapon. Believing them to be dead she tried to locate the artifact that was taken. The Feylus shielded itself from her gaze, causing the Great Wyrm to venture elsewhere to find her lost treasure. As a result, she overran the Ordinth Caphil region with her dragonkin soldiers allowing the citizenry to live so long as they worshiped her and gave tribute.
After nearly a year of fruitless searching in Ordinth Caphil, Immorashi flew out to the other isles that paid her tribute each year. While on route to Halim'ra, she witnessed a burst of green light from the Feylus restoring the land. Enraged, the dragon flew in hoping to secure her prize. Her arrival came just as the Prime of Earth rose up from the land. Seeing the dying glow of the Feylus held by Remeridas on its back, the Great Wyrm unleashed a torrent of magma from her maw. The power of the blast captured the attention of the elemental and the two began fighting, giving the party time to get off before another blast from the Wyrm's breath. Immorashi proved to be the greater power, forcing the Prime to return beneath the earth to heal from its wounds. Immorashi also suffered wounds from the battle, and was forced to give up her search in order to heal.
