Dayne

## Common Knowledge

Soldiers of the Seven Nations’ Alliance would be remiss to forget their great leader: Dayne the Beastmaster, who united them and led them against the Binturian Party despite all odds and commanded three great dragons in battle.

## Further Description

Dayne was the founder of the Seven Nations’ Alliance, a pact between the survivors of Coral City, Jericho, and Narak, the peasantry of K’Vesten, and the nations of Dilghao and Aiur, with the express goal of wiping the Binturian Party off the face of Temporis. To that end, Dayne recruited the Seven Eves, an adventuring party thought to be on par with the Binturians, to help destroy them.

Dayne was an incredibly powerful beastmaster and ranger, able to summon countless woodland beasts, gryphons, dire beasts, and even the Owlbears to his cause.

## Early Life

Found by the red dragon Kitelfar (affectionately called Kitty) as an infant, Dayne was raised in the mountains of western K’Vesten before returning to the lowlands to live with other humans. Dayne was radicalized early in his life when he returned to the mountains and found Kitelfar seriously injured from an encounter with the Binturian Party. This sparked a deep-seated hatred for the Binturian Party, which would only be nursed by fate as the years passed.

Dayne would stand back and watch as the peasantry of K’Vesten suffered under what he felt was the failure of the Binturian Party to help anyone. The Angst Plague, killing Queen Amity, sending Hierophant Xaoc to usurp the throne, all stoked his flames of rage. Finally, he decided to act on that hatred. Dayne, accompanied by Kitelfar in the guise of a cat, travelled Orelisle seeking those who felt wronged by the Binturian Party. Denizens of Aiur, the Aetorg Lands, Dilghao, Jericho, K’Vesten, and Narak all united under one banner: the banner of the Seven Nations’ Alliance.

Now leading the Alliance, he tracked down the whereabouts of the Eves and offered them a vague deal to ensure that the Binturians’ failings could cause no more grief to anybody. Only after they agreed and were bound to that agreement did he explain that they were to kill the Binturian Party with his help, and that they would need to complete it in less than seven instances (seven eves, if you will), or that they themselves would be killed.

## Time with the Binturian Party

Dayne’s interactions with the Binturian Party were limited and tense. They first encountered him in the memory illusion produced by Soul Weather’s papers, which allowed the Binturians to learn of the agreement between him and the Eves. Only moments later, the Eves and Dayne would enter the same tavern where the Binturians saw that illusion, and teleported away after instructing the Eves that this was their third chance to finish the job.

The Binturians would not see Dayne again until he led a full-on assault of the Seven Nations’ Alliance against them, where he turned the defenders of the Binturian Forest against them and learned that the Eves had betrayed him and sided with the Binturians. Through brief engagements and subsequent retreats, Dayne lured the Binturians into the full brunt of the Seven Nation Army. After a long, grueling battle, Dayne was defeated and teleported elsewhere by the Binturians and Tirza of the Eves. The Binturians tried to reason with him, learn his motives, anything to change his mind about them, but Tirza killed him before they had the chance to discuss much.
