The Five Titans

The **Five Titans** are an adventuring party based in the Ark continent of Leddigo. Primarily focusing on work with The Guild, thus far they have mostly stayed in the eastern portion of the continent. The Titans seemingly have a mysterious connection to The Six Pillars, a mythical group of adventurers who some have ascended to godhood.

## **Founding**

### Meeting in Mage's Guild Tavern

A chance meeting inside the tavern led Cassava Thorne to attempt to scam Urza Carthalion out of money, seeing his noble heritage as an easy payout. After losing the gamble, Cassava fell into Urza's favor to repay the debt. The two eventually met Ealo Grove and Sharptooth, who offered to help Cassava in his small favor to the owners of the tavern. The four agreed to staying together to earn money as a stepping stone to their future goals. Eventually, they encountered Tornal and Iolas, and convinced them to join along to achieve their guild memberships.

### Forged Together

In time, the group found a greater purpose through discovering their ties to a previous, mythical group known as The Six Pillars. Through a series of encounters with The Sun Cult of Tharizdun, The Five Titans found themselves with an enemy to overcome. After having homes burned and razed, poisonings, and kidnappings, the group made plans to eliminate the leaders of the Sun Cult to prevent its suffocating hold on the island.

## **Adventures**

### The Rising Sun Arc

Comprising levels 4-?, this is the start of the campaign. Thus, the characters first meet, establish their personalities and backstories, and begin to find their place in the world.

#### Humble Beginnings

The Five Titans began by running trivial errands to achieve their Guild association; delivering an iron shipment, finding pixies, etc. Upon qualifying and becoming part of the guild, they took some time before having a name for their group. Shortly into their questing, they stumbled upon a plot by the Sun Cult and found a purpose higher than rag tag guild workers.

#### Lich Hunters

Eventually, they grew a reputation for capturing or slaying liches tied to the Sun Cult, even receiving a celebration in their honor. Though only successfully having killed one lich thus far, the Titans have become adept at encounters with them, learning from past mistakes of allowing the liches to exploit corrupted justice systems to escape.

## **Name**

Ealo and Urza brainstormed names and thought it was impressive and intimidating. The remaining members liked the sound of it and agreed to it. Most often when giving out the group name, people will chuckle at the grandiose nature of it.

#### Cassava and Urza

Cassava side

Urza bonds easiest with Cassava. Though they met through a scam attempt on Cassava's part, over time Urza has grown to see the similarities between the two of them. Urza has been vocal about his envy of Cassava's natural gift with magic, comparing Cassava's innate skill with arcana to Urza simply being fortunate enough to have a wealthy family that afforded him the ability to pursue the interest. Because of this, Urza occasionally attempts to share his accumulated knowledge with Cassava, giving lessons on wariness of attachment to magic and novice level theory.

Because the two share similar devious sides, Urza will often egg Cassava on and try to see what shenanigans he will be up to. Though this support often ends if Cassava's plan may cost the group their reputation, due to Urza's upbringing valuing reputation so highly.

Ealo side

Urza tends to flipflop between teasing Ealo and being protective of him, depending on the day and circumstances. In their downtime, Urza has attempted to teach Ealo simple elemental cantrips to bolster Ealo's connection with nature, having successfully tutored the Gust cantrip. Between identifying a strange darkness within Ealo and growing tensions, lately Urza is reverting to his distant and guarded ways with Ealo, beginning to grow colder.

#### Sharptooth and Urza

Sharptooth side

At first, Urza was wary of Sharptooth due to growing up in Highlife where non-humans were treated severely. But quickly Urza came to accept Sharptooth as an equal. In time, there was even a mutual trust between the two; Urza realized Sharptooth would be in the path of a blast during a battle with Mara, and the two shared a solemn look of understanding. Urza will often test his spells and abilities on Sharptooth (with his permission), including Fly, Momentary Stasis, and Urza's Bottled Time.

#### Tornal and Urza

Tornal side

Urza has a complicated dynamic toward Tornal. He often intends to tease her as is in his nature, yet will end up offending her or going too far. Urza quickly picked up on Tornal hiding something from the group but after seeing her reaction to everyone attempting to prod, Urza gave up and decided to let her maintain her privacy. To make up for the incessant prodding, he began to cast his Magic Aura on Tornal to magically change her aura to appear as an ordinary human, just as she claims to be. He will occasionally flirt with her for various reasons, getting rejected or treated like he didn't say anything at all.

Due to Tornal's adamant defense of Rose in the Magnificent Mansion and signs of contempt toward Urza for his dislike of the uninvited servants, tensions between Urza and Tornal have been rising.
