The Legendary Nine

The Legendary Nine were a group of adventurers who accomplished many great deeds all across Lindar around 500 years ago. Their feats include capturing the evil Archwizard Nenanian, stopping the Undead Siege of Rangea, defeating the Ancient Red Dragon Karthix, and creating the Union, the first ever peace summit between the nine nations in Krinn (this was before Halcaster’s Autocracy).

## **Members:**

**Lithia Nemmonis**, Elven Sorceress (F) from the Illadori Empire. Leader of the group. Not much is known about her other than that she was a competent and respected leader of her group. Some believe that information about her was purged from most government records after her death. *Used her own body as a prison to stop the dragon after witnessing the death of her love, Ithidor. Ancestor of Thiala from 18 generations ago.*

**Ithidor Strongarm**, Human Barbarian (M) from the City-State of Frozara. An impulsive strong man and Lithia’s lover. Died protecting his love from an attack by the dragon Karthix. Before Lithia he was very promiscuous and likely has many descendants, though none that can be properly confirmed.

**Rhoghar Linakasendalor**, Elven Wizard (M) from the Kingdom of Nor. Eccentric member of the group known for his bizarre sense of humor and overwhelming magical power. He ended up marrying a queen of Nor and had several children. When the queen passed he disappeared and no one knows what happened to him but after that. *Still alive today as Akros Halcaster. Aegon Targarian, King Rhogar Von Linakasendalor III, and Yaheni Listtar are all descendants of his.*

**Roran Slateforge**, Dwarven Paladin (M) from the Military-State of Undernath. The most noble of the nine and devout follower of Ulaa. Took to the front lines during the siege of Rangea and slayed countless undead. Some say the city would have fallen if not for him single-handedly mowing down hordes of the undead. Retired after the battle of Karthix and lived out the rest of his days in peace with his twelve children. *Has a large number of descendants including Granite Slateforge.*

**Nowhere**, Tiefling Rogue (F) from the Nin-Don Aristocracy. Known to some as the first virtuous tiefling, Nowhere helped de-stigmatize tieflings to many as she was the first positive impression that many ever had of a tiefling. Depictions of her often show her as a dark skinned elf as she frequently magically changed her appearance during her early years of adventuring to avoid persecution. No record exists of what happened to her after her adventuring days, but many think she retired to a quiet life out of the public eye. *Ancestor of Morta.*

**Orryn Bally Vin Gimble**, Gnome Wizard (M) from Amestria in the Federation of the Seven. An old no-nonsense gnome. Unusual for only having four names (most gnomes have a dozen names by his age). Often acted as voice of reason among the nine. Cautioned against many of the encounters that lead to the group’s fame. Died in the battle against Karthix. Had two children, but they did not reproduce and he has no known living descendants.

**Krusk Gorg**, Half-Orc Fighter (M) from the People’s Republic of Desocra. Despite his intimidating exterior he was well known for his heart of gold. Loved by the populace and charitable with his wealth. Similarly to Nowhere, he made great strides towards increasing acceptance for half-orcs everywhere. Died in the battle of Karthix. He had several children but the status of their descendants is unknown.

**Shi Fordasi**, Half-Elf Ranger (F) from the Falzer Theocracy. The illegitimate daughter of a Grand Matron, Shi spent her whole life trying to prove herself to her mother, her country, and her goddess. She trained as a Falzer Shield Maiden and had a dire wolf mount she rode into combat. She defied her mother’s wishes by becoming an adventurer. Shi maintained throughout her life that punishing the wicked was her way of carrying out Falzer’s will. She died during the Undead Siege of Rangea. Despite her disagreements with her mother, upon learning of her daughter’s heroic death the Grand Matron enacted a new holiday (The Life of Shi Day, or just Shi Day) held every year to this day on her daughter’s birthday. Shi never married nor bore children.

**Bree Greenbottle**, Halfling Rouge (F) from Aberron in the Federation of the Seven. Regarded as more of a willing participant than a true hero, Bree Greenbottle was the last to join the group. She was imprisoned for petty theft when she was released by the Aberron Warden as a favor to Lithia. The group needed a stealth expert for a mission in Firefringe (Nowhere was more suited to stealth in the wilderness than in a city setting). For her help she was granted a place in the group so long as she stayed on the right side of the law. After Lithia’s death she left the group and settled down in Darkvale. Years later her grandson Drax Greenbottle became an infamous criminal in his own right.
