Laevtykuz Yaeldrin — The End of the Road
You leaped through the portal & for a brief moment, there was nothing but darkness as well as the sensation of falling before light emerged and you find yourself in Zaratan, on the outskirts of home
But home is no longer the same with Ylerae and Tsomaezyn gone. For all the battles you have survived, enemies you have defeated, wounds you had sustained and forgotten places and beings you have encountered, this was a loss that you could not prevent.
Yvilya returned from Suzail soon after with her newborn child and your family mourned the loss of Ylerae and Tsomaezyn.
The last few months have been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with both pleasant and nasty surprises and revelations.
You have had 2 more new family members. Yvilya’s new child, born out of an extramarital affair.
And then there was Marion, a young female elven wizard that you met when you signed up for mercenary work to escort cargo. Little you know at that time, this very promising wizard is none other than Ylerae daughter, your very own granddaughter.
The events of the last few months changed you more than you could possibly imagine and you decided to call it a day. You handed the reins of the farm and family to Yvilya, your only surviving child. Your days as a farmer and an adventurer are over.
You spent your remaining time as a teacher and mentor. Guiding young farmers in the village on the finer details of farming, how one could reap the best yield and harvest, how the weather and seasons could affect crops. You also helped in the local militia, training aspiring young men and women the finer tips of sword fighting and combat. Showing them the skills you have mastered while facing death in the face.
Years passed and the stories of your adventures became legends. Once in a very rare while, your grand daughter Marion comes and visit you, bearing little gifts for the family. You also hear bards in the taverns reciting heroic tales of a group of heroic adventurers known as “Champions of Dragon Coast”. Hearing the tales, you smile but maintain your silence. Little do the bards know, one of the champions is right among them.
One late night in winter, long after the village had fallen silent, you are sitting by the fireplace with your three oldest grand children namely the son of Yvilya, Ylerae & Tsomaezyn. They are asking you tales that they have heard about the “Champions of Dragon Coast”
They then pointed to the sword case you have framed above the fireplace where your favourite shortsword and scimitar lay enclosed. They looked at it and asked “Pop-pop, why do the swords look like those in the tale?” You smiled and simply said “ They are swords that has our family memories in them"

Quaylude Labubu - The Wanderlust
You plunged through the portal and you find yourself right smack in the outskirts of Neverwinter. Everything seems to be fine with some remnants of burning meteors. You see the blood red sky beginning to fade and turn more into white. You head into the city. The guards, on high alert due to the magical phenomenon, refused entry and you spent considerable efforts convincing them before they let you through.
You searched high and low for your remaining foster parent before you found her. She seems to be safe and sound, showing no trace or memory of what she has done recently & only remembering the loss of your other mother. You two mourn together for a couple weeks and u updated your foster mother on all the developments of the last few months including finding your real parents and family
You return back to Suzail a couple months later & your mom Vanya told you that your cousin Marion has decided to resign from her duties. You reject Queen Kelra and Prince Consort Calcifer offer to take up an official role for the Kingdom of Cormyr.
You spent a couple months in your Bastion and the Kingdom of Cormyr. Travelling between Suzail, Wheloon, Arabel, Proskur, Waymoot & Eveningstar sharing tales of the exploits of your companions.
The kingdom named all of you "Champions of Dragon Coast" and you spent many evening in various concert halls, pubs and theaters. Your and your companions exploits spread far and wide with bards reciting the heroic deeds of your party throughout the realms
Eventually, wanderlust took over you again. Bidding farewell to your father Tobyn and mother Vanya, you left with only what you could carry as your songs and tales brought you all over Faerun

Fafnir Abernoth - “Hero of Ol'Bed Marsh”
As you step through the portal, you find yourself plunging in darkness & you fall unconscious.
You find yourself on the outskirts of Ol'bed Marsh, waking to a blood red sky & scene of burning ruins. Cries of agony and shouts of despair can be heard sporadically as the village suffer a second wave of destruction due to “unknown reasons”. However, for reasons unknown, you feel energised
You walk along the ruins, seeing burnt and crushed corpses everywhere. You recognized a young boy, grandson of the village elder that you gave gold to, crying over an unrecognisable corpse.
A middle aged halfing recognized you, the hero that overthrew the nobles who terrorised Ol'bed Marsh previously. He shouts “Our village hero is here!” and u see the remaining few villagers gather around u for support.
You left gold for them and help rebuild the village. Fayora & Jofer returned as well as all 3 of you work tirelessly to rebuild. Weeks and months passed and everyone insisted on building a monument to honor you “Fafnir Abernoth, champion and protector of Ol'bed Marsh.
Six months later one evening, as Fayora, Jofer and yourself are seated in the newly built tavern. A young halfling bard singing your praises to everyone there when you had a flashback of you making the choice to sacrifice your village not once..but twice
As the room shouts praises towards you and honor your name, the flashback repeats itself. The flashback became more frequent & you soon realise every time they praise you, you are reminded of your decision to sacrifice your village.
You also realised for every villager that died, you will be more energised.
You leave the village, yet the flashbacks and energy continues to fill you…
You realised you are immortal, and the village of Ol'Bed Marsh is your source of immortality.

Marion Yaeldrin - The Chosen of Mystra
As your step through the portal, you find yourself whisked back into Priapurl gates. Just like the very first time you reach the village after escaping from the goblins. You enter the village and see that some of the fields in the outskirts of the village are burnt. The villagers tell you that a strange magical phenomenon happened and they were very worried but luckily everyone is safe and sound.
You see Xenia working along side the villagers. It is apparent that everyone around her looks at her in admiration and awe. She sees you and she is happily surprised as she walks towards you. With her are a number of villagers.
As they near you they all praised Xenia. They said that Xenia had saved all of them by foreseeing that the meteors would come and thus, gathering everyone in advance to hide in the basement before the meteors came
She was very embarrassed and she gently and politely plays down her role in it. She invites you to her place for dinner and you do. She thanked you privately in her home as she insisted that you must have helped her and the villagers without their knowledge. She insisted you stay for the night and you did as she prepared the guest room. As she have had her memory wiped, little did she know that the elven sage (you) in front of her is her only offspring.
The next morning, as you wandered around town, you were looking at some fresh apples sold by this elderly farmer couple when a flash happened in your eyes. You realised that the entire display of fresh fruits will be ruined in a minute as a cow will plough through the store.
Just as you shake your head thinking you had a bad migraine and possibly hallucinating, a cow plough right in front of you, missing you and the elderly couple by mere inches but ruining the store and all the fruits in the process..
You took your leave from Priapurl & teleported back to Suzail back to your Bastion. Its early afternoon and you went to the Wizard college to take your stuff. As you pass by a young talented wizard practising in the halls you had a flash in your head he will miscast his spell and lightning will strike the walls and back to him. You mentally ready a telekinesis spell hoping to pull him out of harm's way.
A minute later, he miscast his shocking grasp into a lightning bolt as it arcs through the halls, striking multiple walls and arcing towards him. You managed to cast telekinesis and pull him 30 ft towards you avoiding his own lightning bolt in the nick of time.
The headaches grew more frequent and you realise you can see possible glimpses into the future of others. You manage to accurately predict illness, outbreak of fires and even examination results all happening randomly to random people. Just like your eyes, you are now able to peer into the future. You attempt to control this divination power but you failed.
Finding it more difficult to be around others as the days passed as your senses and migraines get more frequent, you finally understood what your mom Floshwa aka Xenia went through. The mantle of responsibility as the Chosen of Mystra comes with a heavy price. A price beings of lesser will would collapsed under.
You approached Queen Kelra & your aunt Vanya and informed them of your decision to resign with immediate effect all your positions in the wizard college. Unable to convince you to reconsider, they reluctantly accepted.
You left everything behind, your Bastion, your family & friends, carrying only your prized staff and spell book, you disappeared into unexplored worlds, areas and into oblivion.

Elistar Duskwalker - The Unwilling Knight
As you step through the portal with Sonadel, you find yourself plunging in darkness & you fall unconscious. You awake with a start and you see your fiancee Sonadel lying beside you in an unconscious and bloodied state although she is still alive. Miraculously, you are unharmed and somehow, you feel a little different.
You noticed both of you are at the edge of King Forest & the village of Eveningstar is just ahead
You attempt to revive Sonadel but you are unable to do so. Left without a choice, you tended to her wounds as best as you could and carried her on your back and trekked towards Eveningstar. The very village you first met your travelling companions.
As you near it, you noticed that the village seems to be hit by meteors and part of the village was entirely burnt, your old home is nothing but a pile of charred wood. However, you have no recollection of what caused this destruction.
The guards, recognizing you and Sonadel, immediately saluted and ushered both of you in.
They quickly summoned the doctor and tended to Sonadel, she eventually stirred and awoke.
She looked at you quizzically and asked where both of you were before realising you both are at Eveningstar.
A quick conversation and you quickly realise she mentioned you and your companions battled an ancient evil in its temple and entire regions are at risk of annihilation and destruction. It was only at the last crucial period everyone leaped through portals to escape and cut the ancient evil from the world. However, her words filled you with more questions as you have no recollection of what had happened
Realising you might be suffering from memory loss, Sonadel mentioned a series of events of you being a Purple Knight, accompanying your fellow companions combating the Vanguard of Sertrous, you two being betrothed at the order of Queen Kelra as well as your mentor Adelia. You remember everything except you have no recollection of the Vanguard of Sertrous as well as the great battle she kept repeating.
Upon hearing Sonadel describing Adelia, the kind old doctor mentioned he had a patient that looked the same and is now working at his alchemical store. Upon hearing this, you and Sonadel followed the doctor to his store and you both saw that it is indeed Adelia.
For a moment, you sense tension between the two women.
Adelia soon realised too that you have lost part of your memory. Despite both their best efforts to keep you informed of what had transpired, you simply have no recollection.
The guards soon came and informed both Sonadel and yourself that they have orders to report to Queen Kelra and Prince Consort Calcifer in Suzail as they gave orders for the military to find the heroes of Cormyr
You however had other plans. You privately told Sonadel life in the Knights is over for you and her and three of you including Adelia should leave Eveningstar and go elsewhere.
Duty bound by honor and love for you, Sonadel agreed to follow whatever decision you made. Adelia smiled and agreed as well even before you asked.
Three of you left Eveningstar in the dead of the night and ventured north. Using false names and aliases, you all eventually reached Lonelywood in Ten Towns after a couple months. You opened an inn with your wealth and started a family marrying both.
Life in the harsh cold Lonelywood as extreme weathers are common. However, you dont feel any effects from the cold, apart from being afflicted by a strange disease where your skin peels off by itself. Both your wives are worried but you brushed them off by insisting you are fine.
Months pass and it is winter and one particularly cold night where snowfall is extra heavy, your entirely family is all deep in dreamland, u climbed out of bed and opened the main door of the inn. You than remembered you had an old cloak that you liked alot, you opened your old adventuring pack, took the dusty cloak out and donned it as you stepped out the main door and look at the snowy skies
You have never felt so free and so alive…

Fred Tanner - Oversword of Purple Knights
As you step through the portal, you find yourself plunging in darkness & you fall unconscious. You awake on the side of the road with the city of Suzail a short distance away.
You find remnants of meteors around the road side but there doesnt seems to be any major damage that you can see
You head towards the gates of Suzail and the guards recognize you and immediately let you in. You took a quick survey of your surroundings and Suzail seems to be impacted minimally.
You head to the Purple Knights Headquarters and you learnt that Queen Kelra has made Prince consort Calficer as Marshal as the post is empty after Marshal Sonadel resigned when she is betrothed to Elistar.
You report to the new Marshal what has transpired in the fight against the ancient evil Sertrous and the Vanguard. Upon hearing your report, Marshal Calcifer asked you to go with him to see Queen Kelra immediately.
Receiving your updated report, Queen Kelra decreed that you be promoted to the rank of Oversword with immediate effect thus putting you in charge of multiple companies of knights. You accepted your promotion and role, especially now that you have tasted the wonderful cusines of Suzail. You asked about your companions but none has been seen.
Marion returned a couple days later as you saw her and you 2 caught up with each other but she told you she came to say goodbye as she is leaving. You asked where she is going but she said she is just going to fulfil her role as the Chosen of Mystra.
It is also than you heard that Elistar and former Marshal Sonadel have been sighted in Eveningstar. You made a report to Queen Kelra and the Queen, very worried about Sonadel, immediately tasked you to head for Eveningstar.
However, as you arrived, you realised the couple was gone. You also found out that the lady Adelia was in Eveningstar as well but she is missing too. Word around the streets is that both ladies left with Elistar.
You returned to Suzail and made a quick report to Queen Kelra. Disappointed, the queen issued a decree to you that searching for both Sonadel and Elistar will be your number one task moving forward & you accepted the responsibility with gusto.
You spend days investigating the whereabouts of Elistar and Sonadel and take trips out of Suzail when necessary. Good food across the realm never fails to entice you, and gradually, you started binging more and more on food. You were never a big eater but you now can finish an entire roast boar by yourself and as time passes, your appetite grew even bigger
The more you eat, the more you are sure that Elistar and Sonadel are hiding somewhere in the north. You gradually spent more and more time in Neverwinter and Luskan looking for them.
You also think of Master Willowstep more, and you are more determined to bring Elistar and Sonadel back to Suzail because it's just the right thing to do.
A couple years pass and you still have not found them, you feel irritated and frustrated. Luckily, everytime you feel thaat way you manage to comfort yourself and calm down by touching your ring finger. It used to be occasionally but now you do it a few times a day as the wonderful ring grants you comfort.
You also start to get more and more worried of others taking the ring from you….
