## Time with the Wanderers

Clover was one of the founding members of the Wanderers when the group first convened in Wander, receiving a job from Cole Harl to investigate some local goblin attacks and recover an heirloom belonging to Lady Evanna Trysh. During this initial period with the party, Clover largely kept her scarred face hidden using her hood. Upon recovering the heirloom, the party emerged from the cave they explored and encountered two guards from Selse, one of whom was Amber Stendel. Clover held the guards at arrow-point, although the rest of the party managed to defuse the tension of the encounter. Upon returning to Wander, Clover visited the Temple of the Raven Queen and gave a halfhearted prayer, feeling a blip of connection to the goddess in response.

Clover remained with the party when Jothomir Joros requested their help in Refuge, slowly growing more trusting of the group as they proceeded. Throughout the events of the Time Loop, Clover investigated multiple aspects of the town including the Temple of Ilsten. She was also one of the party members to eventually find the hidden room of Songmin. During the group's first confrontation with the Blood Zealots attacking Belora, Clover was stabbed and killed by Drev using his Nine Lives Stealer. However, the party proved victorious in their second attempt at this fight. In the aftermath of the fight, Clover recovered the Nine Lives Stealer, but shortly gave it to Jothomir as he tended to Belora. Clover also discussed the nature of divinity and godhood with Songmin after the town had recovered. Songmin's responses helped Clover grow more attached to the ideology of the Raven Queen, whose domain encompassed the light and the dark.

After the resolution of the Time Loop, Clover traveled with the Wanderers to Illeyre. Here the party met new allies in Jayson Dayson, Kaedra Wilshorn, and Toven Bryar. Clover assisted in the investigation of the ogre attacks in Illeyre after meeting with the Evenwood family, feeling a certain connection to them as noble half-elves facing discrimination. Clover bonded with Evelyn Evenwood in particular and likewise befriended Teselle Evenwood. Clover also assisted in breaking into Therrin Marival's house, discovering a map that implicated Therrin as the mastermind behind the attacks. Clover and the rest of the party proceeded to confront Therrin and several of his ogre henchmen, defeating the wizard and delivering him to local authorities. Clover also briefly reacted with rage upon Adelaide Evenwood's return to her family, believing Toven to be an impostor impersonating the real Adelaide. Her anger subsided upon realizing that Toven and Adelaide had been the same person all along.

Following the Wild's Grandeur Festival in Illeyre, Garyn Hillbridge was nearly assassinated by a Rakshasa, who tried to fight the rest of the Wanderers before attempting to retreat. However, Clover was able to kill the monster before it escaped. She proceeded to travel with the rest of the Wanderers to Selse to help fake Garyn's death while Garyn was sent to the Shattered City for protection. After successfully convincing the Iron Hearts' leader Atasi that Garyn had been killed, the party was offered a job to kill Noctus Caivan, the brother of the town's lord Serris. Clover was heavily involved in the debate of whether or not to intervene in the politics of the city. Clover also visited the Caivan Estate with several other party members and attempted to investigate any suspicious activity, but could not find any. After the Wanderers decided to kidnap Serris to help Noctus rise to power, Clover joined Jothomir, JD, and Aggarash Ivtice, succeeding in infiltrating the estate and kidnapping Caivan. As a distraction on the way out, Clover started a fire by lighting a tapestry at the main entrance.

Upon discovering the Destruction of Wander, Clover found and kept a piece of a raven statue from the remains of the Raven Queen's temple, having formed an even stronger bond with the goddess over the previous weeks. Clover was able to use her tracking skills to lead the group to the rest of the Wander refugees, along with Toven, Kaedra, and Warrior McFighter. She additionally participated in the investigation of the murder of Mountebank Madbrook when the group arrived at the town of Madbrook.

Upon arriving in the Shattered City, Clover visited the Temple of the Raven Queen, returning the stone piece from Wander's temple and committing herself fully to the Raven Queen. After the duel between Eldrin Talendsyr and his ex Eamond Litheth, Clover met up with Jassia Heraden in the Training Grounds. Heraden, Clover's friend and former trainer from Esselvar, offered her insincere condolences to Clover regarding her father. The two exchanged stories and caught up before parting.

Upon Eldrin's revelation to the group that he was in fact a member of a high-ranking banking family, Clover reacted sympathetically regarding Eldrin's desire to keep this secret from the rest of the group. Clover was a spectator during the Trial of Serris Caivan, and nearly left the courtroom upon realizing that Caivan knew secrets about several members of the Wanderers. However, her fears were assuaged when Caivan failed to reveal her real name.

Clover continued to accompany the Wanderers when they travelled to the Ironspine Conclave at the request of Arcanist Vraeis Rayne, with the goal of rescuing Koti Lemeda. Clover joined Garyn and Jothomir in infiltrating the Conclave as a scouting party. During the operation, Clover heard noises on the Conclave's second floor indicating that someone was hiding underneath a table. She then kicked Inarel, the Conclave's cook, although she felt bad realizing that the Firbolg meant them no harm. The three reconvened with the rest of the party, who then succeeded in rescuing Lemeda and his assistant Elisandra Fion.

When the group learned of Kyvrin's plan to attack Northlight, Clover reacted with urgency. In the leadup to the fight, she revealed to Elisandra that her mother resided in Northlight, asking Elisandra to try and find her should the Wanderers fail in their mission. During the Suicide Mission, Clover was one of the party members assigned with attempting to sneak up on Kyvrin, although the dragon's blindsight prevented this plan from working properly. Clover took heavy damage from the dragon and his lair during the fight, but was also able to dole out a great deal of harm to the dragon in return. After Kyvrin's defeat, Clover was given one of the three Arrows of Dragon Slaying found in Kyvrin's hoard, with the remainder going to Jothomir.

Clover held back her feelings regarding the monarchial structures of Taezan when the Wanderers encountered the Monarch Emrys Seraina upon their return from the Conclave, although she refused to bow to her. The group shortly agreed to go attempt to rescue Dalee, Warrior's mentor who had recently gone missing in Northlight. Before departing the Shattered City, Clover paid another visit to the Temple of the Raven Queen, finding her way into a hidden room with a pool. Touching the water, Clover was sucked into the pool and felt herself drowning before finding herself in a vision with the Raven Queen herself. Clover pledged herself to the goddess and discussed how she could serve the Raven Queen in pursuit of her own goals. She awoke back in the temple with a tattoo of the Raven Queen's crest.

When the group teleported to Esselvar and Eldrin departed to tie up some loose ends with his family, Clover told Eldrin to research the phrase "An-Mirima" to learn more about her. On the path to Northlight, Clover bonded with Kelta Amastacia, discussing topics such as keeping secrets and being anxious about the past. Clover admitted her fear about how the group would react to learning more about her past; in response Kelta comforted her and encouraged her that everyone would understand. The morning after this conversation, Clover revealed that her real name was Iris Leon, a former noble from Esselvar, but did not offer further explanation. Clover proceeded with the party into the Feywild in search of Dalee and a missing orphan from Northlight, Ascher.

Clover and the rest of the party encountered several perils in the Feywild, including a cursed flute and an encounter with basilisks, which resulted in the petrification of Garyn and a subsequent reluctant negotiation with Donovan, who offered a cure in exchange for gold. After learning the tale of the Weeping Rowan from Gwyn and Hollaeti, Clover traveled with the rest of the Wanderers towards the Verdant Grove in hopes of finding Ascher and Dalee. Upon the group's arrival in the Grove, the Weeping Rowan brought each of the Wanderers into a dreamlike space, offering each of them a deal to give up some of the memories and emotions. Clover rejected the deal and, in the ensuing fight, focused on rescuing Dalee and destroying the power nodes that appeared to bolster the Rowan's defenses.

Successfully defeating the Rowan, the Wanderers proceeded to retrace their steps back towards the portal to the Material Plane, with Dalee, Ascher, and former Thralls Kaz Swain and Toross in tow. During these travels, Clover lightly questioned Jothomir's intense commitment to saving Ascher. Jothomir considered discussing his history further, but ultimately decided against it. Upon the group's return to the Material Plane, Clover and the other Wanderers were debriefed by the Council of Northlight and were shortly released without punishment. Clover lightly took part in the celebration following the return of Dalee and Ascher, before leaving to ask about the whereabouts of some other individuals in town.

Upon the Wanderers' return to their temporary lodgings, they found that Aggie, shaken by their decision to erase their own memories and their role in fighting against the rest of the party, had departed, taking Nightblood with them. Clover searched for additional clues in the lodgings regarding where Aggie had gone, turning the Bag of Holding inside out to see if anything else had been taken. The party then reconvened and set out to find Aggie. After coming close to catching up with Aggie but then losing them again, the group managed to Send and receive several messages from them that lessened their worries. Aggie agreed to leave Nightblood buried by a nearby pond, and Ernelis, Warrior, and Kelta shortly retrieved the sword. The group then returned to Northlight, more at ease with the idea of letting Aggie spend some time alone so long as they checked in on a daily basis through Sent messages.

Before leaving Northlight, Clover visited Lira, a local dye specialist, who offered her several products to help her dye her hair. The group parted ways with Ernelis and departed once more towards Esselvar in the hopes of meeting back up with Eldrin, who had also Sent a message informing the party that he was headed there way. On the road, Clover requested help from Garyn and Toven to help her dye her hair, and later asked Kelta to Send several messages to Kassian Endrio to find out where her mother was currently living. The party later reconvened with Eldrin after several days on the trail, and the party continued towards Esselvar. However, the Wanderers then encountered Roxterra, a town that none of them had seen on the journey to Northlight. The group decided to investigate further.

The Wanderers proceeded to enter Miraid's Inn and Tavern, meeting server and singer Nessa. Clover was a strong proponent of spending the night outside the town in case staying in the inn might trap them in some way. Though the vote was a virtual tie, the party ultimately ruled in favor of staying outside the town for the night. During the night, Eldrin pulled Clover aside and explained that during his time in Esselvar, he had discovered that his family had delivered a payment that had likely led to the assassination of Clover's father. Clover pressed Eldrin for names, and Eldrin told her the name of his father, Rennyn Talendsyr. Reflecting on this, Clover returned to camp and took notes in her journal throughout the night.
