Sara Winter of Kasteban

This article needs updating
Sara "Winter" of Kasteban is a female sorcerer played by Pete Morena as a Pathfinder player character in the Sanguine Dragons Campaign. She was apparently born sometime in 1714 or 1715, but her birthdate is unknown. She is stunningly beautiful and obviously of Kastebani descent with red hair and violet eyes. She stands tall at 5'11" and weighs 165 pounds. She walks with confidence and an easy smile. She is the type of woman who knows how to use her beauty to capture everyone's attention and keep it. She has a propensity for enchantment and illusions, but don't underestamate her soft curves. She packs enough evocation and necromancy to keep enemies guessing.
Her parentage is unknown, and she was raised in the Royal Kasteban Academy for Orphans and after displaying natural talent for magic pursued an education in sorcery, culminating in study at the Hexadane Academy where Professor Sarn took special interest in her development. After earning her certification, she left Kasteban for where she percieved the true center of power was, Trynser City. She joined the Imperial Corps of Mages and her bearing (and looks) were good enough to serve with the Imperial Chancellory, graduating near the top of her class at the Academy ROTC, she quickly got her commission just in time to serve in the war of Gormann's Horde. She worked mostly in support during Lord High Marshall Mondrocar Blackeagle's campaign, though she amassed a worthy kill count and she cast offensively as well as fought physically at the Battle of Heddenfields,no commendation was earned. She served her unit with distinction and after Gormann the Reaver was killed she was returned to Chancellory service.
She has heard rumors that she might be the illegitimate child of a powerful wizard of Kasteban. "Winter" is a common Kastebani surname for bastard noble children. There maybe someone who's pulling strings for her. First, just to be accepted into the very prestigious Hexadane Academy, then ROTC fast track. Now, Diplomatic Corps is she being groomed for what? On the other hand, during the Trynser-Zazimar War, rumors began that she was the mother of the illegitimate sorceror Mojarósa by a halfling.
Hey bro, can I make up stuff for the Battle of Heddenfields? Like maybe that is were I met Tristan's character. I know Scotty's character goes where I go he's like my twin brother.
The school of magic that Tim and I like is the Hexadane Academy. Some of the professors in The Balls of Menthonen are Prof. Garvantuus (garv-ANT-chu-us), who teaches the lower grades, Prof. Bernedardardeedard who was seen teaching (and getting injured by) summoning, gnomish Prof. Muphlestupher who was depicted giving a lecture about the moons of Leathane, and Prof. Sarn, the Dean of Girls. Sarn is probably the one that you worked closest with. I'll have her definition up in a day or so.
Your character may have been a member of the Imperial Mage Corps assigned to assist the Ambassador. Scotty was with the Chaplain's Corps, me detached from the army, and Joe and Shawn from the intelligence spooks. Trynser doesn't really have a Samurai corps so I don't have much there. Perhaps Aborea has a Nanducharan community, and their people in Trynser City sent him to pay a visit?
Sara of Kasteban is a female sorcerer made by Pete Morena for Tim's campaign. She is a stunningly beautiful red head with violet eyes. She walks in at 5'11 and 165 lbs. She has a captavating smile and her eyes are hypnotic. She knows what effect her looks do to people and she uses them accordingly. Professor Sarn has told her that she must use everything in her arsenal as a weapon. She has never forgotten her lessons.
Her childhood is mostly unknown to her. She grew up in the only orphanage in Kasteban. Some rumours were that she was a child of a noble wizard and that she is Sarah 'Winter'. 'Winter' being the last name given to all bastard children of nobles. She could care less if her parents didn't want her -- the hell with them. She would make her mark on the world on her own. She still would like to know who her parents are though. Doesn't everyone? It has a way of working into her thoughts.
Sara is very excited and concerned about being elevated to Ambassador of Aborea. She understands that this could make or break her career. She's more concerned about doing right with Aborea and Trynser. Her understanding of Trynser politics is seriously lacking. She cares for the group assigned to assist her and feels the responsibilty weigh heavily upon her shoulders.
She seems very frustrated with the haphazard way the Diplomatic Corps has set up the Delegation for Aborea. Or better yet the lack of set-up. Aborea seems to be living on borrowed time. Their King being murdered and no one seems to care. This gives credence to a lawlessness that is very dangerous to a city state. Adventurers are almost put on pedestal, weird! The prince and soon to be king and mostly likely candidate of patricide would not make a good partner for Trynser. These are just some of Sara's private thoughts.
We found out more interesting facets to the Aborea monarchy question. They can return someone that has died to the crown. Does that mean the king can be resurrected? I believe his soul is somehow inaccesable. Like maybe souljarred or something. I have a great idea who the murderer is, but we have to wait untill 30 days have gone by.
She's feeling a little over her head at the attention she's getting. Will she take the offer? Can she still trust the rest of the group? Will she become the next assasins target? What will the Chancellory suggest? They can't make me become queen. She doesn't feel confident enough to make this decision as of yet.
Kolesh, the newly released assasin from hell, has her very concerned. Is there anyone in Aborean who can keep him in check? Will it have to be us? I'm pretty sure we, the Sanguine Dragons, couldn't even slow him down. What he did while in our Inn, kill 32 Zazimaran speacial forces troops, put the staff to sleep, clean everything up with out us hearing or waking up. That was very frightening. Only because of Kolesh is she seriously even considering about taking Lady Vodermont offer. After seeing Kolesh threaten her and her being petrified she definitely had to do something about him asap. After the Arena dungeon I'm going to confront Kolesh.
Sara believes that what we do in Aborea is even more important with the most recent setback of the war,but will Trynser let any assets go to us or will it go to the war effort? Are we getting too much attention? My being made the Diplomat and being a woman is not an asset here in Aborea. If I wasn't an 'Adventurer' I would be considered property. Great society huh?
While Sara is contemplating the future of their group and their mission in Aborea, Trynser seems to be having a crisis of leadership. A General going to Zazimar is a pretty big blow and it has shaken the trust in Trynser leadership. How did this happen with out anyone not having any idea? What will the Emperor do to tighten his reigns on his ministers and to check their loyalty. Sara believes that Trynser should just be able to overrun Zazimar and is having a hard time seing why we don't do just that. We should be able to mobilize a million fighting men and women. We have at least 6 Archmages, put them to work give them nobility and ask them to reign fiery doom up Zazimar. Sara is embarrassed that a city state can give Trynser so much trouble. She would mobilize the mage corps and kick some serious booty! With a population of over 110 million why are we fiedling such a small army? The Mage Corps could seriously make some 'hay' in Z! The head of military inteligence is seriously cracking down internally. It's about friggin time Onyx does his job.
What will Trynser say about me becoming queen of Aborea? Will they laugh at me? Will our mission even matter to them? I guess we're gonna have to make it matter! We'll succeed inspite of them and their lack of support and guidance. Now that we are starting to get proper support watch what we can do.
Shopping spree in Kasteban was a great success. Yay, shopping! The caster level bump from the ioun stone embedded into, was a great boost. "See Invisibility, Arcane Sight, and Darkvision" also came in handy. I've got some new 'toys' let's see how they work. I feel that we may need to see who are giving 'undue' attention towards us. How does the Empire feel about adding another Duchy to their Realm, with me at the helm? Too ambitious? It's on like Donkey Kong! Zazimar is going down! Zazimar is seriously in trouble. The Sanguine Dragons have had their leash taken off. We may get in trouble for attacking a Zazimaran slave caravan carrying Trynseran POWs within city limits. Oh, well! We are now on a rampage. We may as well destroy their soldiers in Aborea. Tharax is going down! Kolesh is too!! I shouldn't of let the fiasco in the bay happen. Oh Well!! So many enemies so little time. I feel that our welcome in Aborea has hit its end for now! What are we going to do with our properties? Who should we pay to manage them? It's going to be hard to get everyone free and out of Aborea.
Well, so much happened in 2 days; we captured the traitorous General, we freed 25 pows, we saved Niffle and freed over 1000 slaves. We also killed Zelig again and sent notice to Zazimar that we are not to be trifled with. The pesky thief that we let live wouldn't let it be, so now he is our pet mouse. We've also looked into who was killing our associates and found Gianna still alive so we took her to our palace so we can protect her and take care of her. We do have some bad news though my tailor and his husband has been killed. We added another Bar and Inn to our properties so we've really become invested in Aborea. We also no longer have to worry about the Aborea Council wanting to kick us out. AM I CRAZY? KOLESH IS AN ALLY?!
Sara wants to make a strike into the heart of Zazimar and take a shot at one or two Noble Efreets. Crazy huh? I know we can't take them all at once, but if we somehow can divide and conquer it should be doable. Tharax has made the list. He's not long for this world.
Sara Winter of Kasteban discussion
She has recently found where her parents went. Oh yeah, she found out who her parents were. She will be going to Jolanda very soon after they take care of Tharax. This ungratefull dragon is going down.
Aborean council is about to get a shake up with Kolesh in the picture. The funeral is coming soon we'll see what will happen then. We'll have to prioritize.
Sara had tried for years to capture Kolesh in in a gem, and, in spite of his Goddess, apparently finally succeeded. The black Gem of Kolesh was rumored to have been in the Empire of Trynser in 1742.
As of 1742, Sara Winter had the title of Lady Archmagister of Dantenna for the Trynsern Imperial Magistrace.
