Finan

## Finan's Journey with the Estovar's Free Company

Finan is a human and a former member of the Republican Army serving in the Bullhound Corps as a lower mid-level infantry. Having done a two-year term of service on the front line he had gained full citizenship with voting rights in his city-region. He had also, in that venture, gained a number of valuable martial and practical skills, and with his fellow veteran scout, Alan Wheat had resolved to strike out on his own in general mercenary work and adventuring.

Finan and Alan would be joined during the Aefgeol Feast Week by the amateur armorer Takvor Demirdjian, an acquaintance from a tour outside Dintedgel. Their crowded common room visit to the Heyfield Inn would see them joined at their table by Dancing Ragdoll and Merida, two recent visitors to Kelenor. Circumstance would see the five of them tangled into a variety of adventures.

On the 19th of Cheln, Arday, in the late evening, after effecting her rescue, Finan would have a faithful showdown with Gadja, the Korya warrior woman. Fraught with the terrible pleas of the bow, Camisado's Ruinous Omen, Finan would take the bow up, and be swallowed up by the entity within. Gadja, spurred on by her holy warrior abilities, would stir the party to capture Finan. Destroyed spiritually, the body would go on to be the vessel for the terrible being that had been trapped in the bow, and it would flee the party, taking with it the remains of Finan.

## Finan's Travels After Taking Up Camisado's Ruinous Omen

### At Belore

Gadja and Takvor would return from the strange other world, to the small city of Thoshaddn. After the passage of more than a month's time they discovered another Belorian couple parsoned at the temple to Khat. The woman would tell Gadja that Finan had returned to the Parami village at the foot of Param and had taken the other Korya warrior woman, called Buella the Fanghunter. This startling revelation, along with the detail that Finan had proposed a "faster way," back to Vaanth would send Estovar's racing eastward toward the Smárváugr, inland sea between Hargravia and the Velnors.

### At Melchiar

More signs of Finan would surface when the party arrived at Melchiar and discovered that the changed Finan had laid claim to a number of items belonging to the party. They would also discover that Finan traveled with not one woman, but with two. If Buella was one, who then was the other? Estovar's Free Company would push eastward along the Highroad, heading back to Kelenor.

## Finan Coelicaeus and the Twilit Rangers

Taking the moniker Coelicaeus as a surname, Finan would collect a gathered group of able bodied fighters and adventures around himself and form a Free Company in Kelenor, they would be named the Twilit Rangers.

In various states of disguise the Rangers and Coelicaeus would peck at the critically damaged political structure of Hildenian politics in mid to late 4750 DE.

Estovar's Company would brush up against Finan and a few of his band as they looked into the nature of his relationship and activities with the Korya warrior-woman Buella. A quick interview with the returned Tyrion would net the party concerning information about the band leader and his new compatriots, but would seem to satisfy the bard, at least, of the scouts intentions.
