## Appearance

Yrimir is a being of mixed origins, derived from the joining of the Goddess Ealirel with a High Elf, giving him attibutes of both the Fey Elves and an Aasimar. His skin is a very pale purple, with his eyes emitting a golden glow. His hair, which he tends to wear tied up with small side braids, is completely white, hanging just below the shoulders when let down. Yrimir bears a tattoo on his right pectoral, a pair of majenta four-sided stars which sit adjacent one another. This is a holy symbol of Ealirel, imbued into his skin to exemplify his proximity and devotion to the Mother of the Heavens. The tattoo glows in a pulse-like manner along with Yrimir's heartbeat, and begins to glow more intensely whenever he taps into his clerical magics. Having origins divine in nature, Yrimir possesses a pair of angelic wings which sprout from just behind his hips; a trait notable in all Children of Ealirel. Much of the time these wings are rather small in stature, often sitting curled up against his thighs. These small wings are just strong enough to allow Yrimir to briefly float small distances, but are not strong enough to be able to allow him to travel middair. However, Yrimir is able to harness some of his innate divine capabilites to allow these wings to almost triple in size and radiate bright heavenly light (as pictured to the right), giving him brief flight capabilites and enhanced offensive capabilites.

Yrimir wears traditional robes of Ealirel, predominantly an earthy purple with majenta and gold embelishments throughout. The robes' material is similar to that of a charmeuse fabric, with origins from the Feywoods. The robes are held secure by a small black pleather-like corsetted belt. The front of the robes depict another symbol of Ealirel, a large eye with a four-sided star as the pupil, which refers to Ealirel's clairvoyant capabilities and ties to the Fates. Yrimir prefers to wear the robe rather loosely on his upper torso to allow for ample display of the holy symbol of Ealirel tattooed on his chest. Around his neck, he wears a black pleather clerical collar, which covers most of his neck and extends to just past his shoulders, atop this collar sits an amulet depicting another holy symbol of Ealirel: a golden four-sided star behind a four-leafed clover, again paying homage to the Mother of the Heavens' connection to the Fates. Yrimir wears tights made from a polyester-like material which feature holes on the back of the hips which allow access to his wings, he also wears gloves of a similar material. He also wears gray, knee-high boots of a similar pleather material to his collar and belt.

## Personality

Yrimir is, before all else, a devout follower of Ealirel, Goddess of the Stars and Heavens Beyond. He is keen to impart what he believes to be helpful wisdom based on the teachings of his mother, even if no one is particularly interested in receiving such notions. Having spent millenia within the boundaries of his Fey Grotto, Inonora, Yrimir possesses an incredibly limited understanding of the world outside, including many customs, phrases, and even objects. He possesses an incredible thirst for knowledge, often going out of his way to derail a conversation to inquire about a new concept mentioned with which he is unfamiliar, often to the chagrin of his fellow party members. He is quick to boast his plentiful wisdom and life experience, yet fails to take into account his own naivety of this world outside the bubble he has survived aeons within.

Usually a fairly well-mannered and jovial individual, Yrimir tends to display a perfectionist mindset, and is often displeased when things go wrong or a different way than he intended. Stubborn and insistent to the very end, it often takes a lot of convincing to get him to waver from a decision or opinion he has set his mind to; he will often dig in his heels without relent, a stubbornness which has caused more than one fracture within the harmony of the adventuring party. Despite first appearances, Yrimir actually hides away quite a temper, which shows itself from time to time in particularly stressful situations. Growing up, Yrimir would often get into terrible fights with his closest sister, Minve, a similarly fiery spirited individual. It was after years of training on emotional control with his older sister, Aldila, that Yrimir finally obtained a firm grasp on his short fuse. However, the stress of the events which have transpired since his departure from Inonora has caused these barriers of control to crack, allowing for his temper to arise at inopportune moments. Whevener such an event occurs, Yrimir is quick to excuse himself from the situation, following advice Aldila gave him on this matter, to "relocate and recalibrate," taking time to recompose himself.

One of Yrimir's most prominent traits is that of his flirtatious demeanor. Having grown up in a Fey Grotto, a place of open acceptance, overall laid back and fun atmosphere, and overwhelming sex positivity, Yrimir's often overt and egregious advances towards others can often be jarring or unexpected. He tends not to have much of a filter when it comes to such matters as fun and pleasure, but has come along slowly in terms of learning of the customs of the outside world, even if he does find much of it rather prudish. Having been raised on the ideals which insist upon the necessity to enjoy the wonders of life, he is quick to offer up activities of leisure when they arise, even if they may come at an inappropriate or inopportune time. Much to Yrimir's surprise, quite a number of the customs and traditions of the Fey Grottos tend to be uncommon or even frowned upon in the outside world, which often leads to him making those around him uncomfortable. Unapologetic as he is when it comes to such customs, Yrimir tends not to bat an eye at all those which stare at him. He has become quite accustomed to receiving perplexing glances from those around him, that such looks garnered from every faux pas mean very little to him.

## Inonora

Yrimir was born in the year 1382, near the end of the 1st Age of Upheaval. Having been born after the war with the Primordials, Yrimir had never actually left the presumed safety of his Fey Grotto until the beginning of the campaign. He grew up with a large group of his siblings alongside other members of the Grotto, learning the ways of Ealirel and The Court of Stars from his older siblings, namely his brother, Rurrin, whose intense passion for learning and imparting knowledge onto others dwarfed his ability to keep young Fey beings in line. For help with corralling Yrimir and his siblings, Rurrin received help from their sister, Aldila, who aided significantly in the education process alongside Rurrin as his assistant. It was here that Yrimir learned all there was to know about The Court of Stars as well as his mother, as read from the documents present within the archives of the Grotto.

A common sight within Fey Grottos is a majority, if not entirety, of its residents gathering often daily and hosting a party or a festival, wherein the members of the grotto would enjoy each other's company, laughing, singing, dancing, drinking, and much more. Inonora was no exception to this rule, with its inhabitants hosting baccanals of their own on a regular basis, many of which are scheduled and organized by Yrimir's younger sister, Ziasi. Yrimir spent countless nights enjoying the festivities with his friends and family, whether it be brewing dubious concoctions with his friend, Toi, going out of his way to hook his sister, Ziasi up with their friend, Galtihr, or sneaking away for a private tryst with his partners, Kaicius and Olqirith, the prospect of an evening's festival even Ealirel could never predict. Such is true even up to Yrimir's final day in Inonora, the night he left, suddenly and unannounced.

Inonora was home to an ancient and powerful artifact known as the Stardust. Legends tell the story of the birth of Ealirel, the first of the Gods to inhabit this existence. She emerged from a cosmic explosion which scattered countless particals of star matter, which Ealirel used to sculpt the world as we know it today. It is said that she gathered some of the remnants of this material, known as Stardust, and sealed it within a crystal sphere, which she placed within an archive garden near the center of Inonora. The Stardust is believed to have limitless capabilities, being able to grant any wish of whoever would harness it. For this reason, it was housed within one of Ealirel's Fey Grottos, a place hidden from all except those who are invited.

On the night of February 26, in the year 5203, in the midst of another festival within Inonora, Yrimir would happen upon the archive garden which housed the Stardust at the perfect time to witness an invisible individual attempting to steal the Stardust from the Fey Grotto. Rushing into action, Yrimir quickly gave chase through the woods, firing a few spells to try and reveal the thief's identity while slowly gaining ground. Right as he was about to catch this intruder, he lost his footing and stumbled, allowing the thief to escape the Grotto, out into Pheris. Without much thought, other than a quick glance back at the party he left behind, accompanied by all his friends and family, he continued his pursuit of the mysterious individual, which would begin his mission towards the reclamation of the Stardust for Ealirel, returning it into the right hands and removing such an item of temptation from the view of those who seek the claims of the limitless power and possibilities it can bestow.

## Maria

Yrimir emerged from his Fey Grotto in the midst of what he would come to learn is the wilderness of a country called Maria. He wandered from settlement to settlement, asking for leads on the stolen Stardust in as vague terms as he could manage so as to minimize the number of people out on the hunt for this powerful artifact. Finally, after nearly two weeks of searching, he was led, through consultation with a gift from his mother, a tarot card deck imbued with clairvoyant capabilities through means of heavenly divination, to a small town in the Marian countryside called Gennelés, to a tavern known as the Dancing Dolphin; where a young man claiming to be the missing link of this land's once powerful empire sought the help of brave adventurers; where Yrimir would meet his new band of adventuring companions; where his fateful and harrowing journey would truly begin.

### Gennelés

On the evening of March 4th in the year 5203, in a tavern known as the Dancing Dolphin, rightful heir to the throne of the Marian Empire, an Arnoul Renou, was holding a callout event which sought to attract talented/promising adventurers from all around to aid him in his journey to the Cursed City of Olfalon, the former capital of the Marian Empire, wherein he could reclaim the throne and revive the empire after over 300 years. The city of Olfalon is rumored to be sealed off, inaccessible since the city fell following an attack on multiple fronts, and the tragic loss of what is thought to be most, if not all, of the city's inhabitants. Arnoul is confident that the gates of the city will open to him upon his arrival, and offers a boon, which he will grant to the best of his abilities, to anyone who is able to escort him to the throne room in Olfalon.

Among those who showed up to hear this proposal by the Emperor, Yrimir found himself in the company of Bastle Ellmenreich, proudly proclaiming to those who would listen (or those within shouting range) the splendor of the Lich Queen Neteria, her aunt, as well as her position as the "Grand Lieutenant of the Dominion of Neteria and proud Flamebearer of the immortal Lich Queen herself." Behaving a bit more inconspicuously was Xander Wolland, an inquisitor from the Theocracy Of Axbria, under the alias of Berend von Lindenberg, an alleged Marian travelling merchant of Axbrian origins, and Princess Zyanya II of Mecatl (who did not actually introduce herself until after the party left the tavern), under the alias of Anya of Forcetelia. Near the end of the Emperor's speech, which outlined the terms of his proposal and the trip ahead of any who stepped forward, a fight broke out in the tavern, started by a group of undercover mercenaries from the nearby town of Colroux, Jaquet Favre, Juheta Frère, and Daniel Rousselot; sent by the current ruler of the area, Baron Corstax, to assassinate the Emperor and put an end to the Renou bloodline. The attackers managed to rally a group of bandits present for the Emperor's speech to fight by their side, while the members of the party fought to protect the Emperor, alongside his second-in-command, Capitan Menet Sadoul, as well as the meager beginnings of the new Marian Army.

During this skirmish, Yrimir primarily offered support, protecting the Emperor with a Shield of Faith, as well as minor crowd control, placing a Moonbeam in a crucial chokepoint in the tavern to divide and disuade the oncoming attackers. With Juheta killed in the fight and Jaquet forced to surrender, the final mercenary, Daniel, attempted to make his escape, even going as far as to leap through the Moonbeam to get away from the botched assassination attempt. Before he was able to reach the door, Yrimir caught him in a Sleep spell, which prompty ended the fight and tied up most loose ends. With Jaquet and Daniel captured, Capitan Sadoul took it upon himself to interrogate the two mercenaries about their origins and intentions, while reluctantly allowing the help of Xander (which ultimately ended up in a bad cop-bad cop scenario). Meanwhile, the remaining members of the party watched over the Emperor and questioned the remaining patrons of the tavern about any knowledge they may have about the attackers. Although the questioning of the tavern-goers proved less than fruitful, Xander was able to pry some useful information out of Jaquet after sufficient threatening (while Menet managed to go a little overboard on his interrigation, ultimately throwing Daniel through a window before murdering him by the end of his questioning), and soon the party, escorting the makings of the new Marian Empire, began their journey towards the city of Olfalon.

### Colroux

The journey from Gennelés to Olfalon unfortunately took the party through the town of Colroux, a barony ruled over by Baron Corstax, the assumed mastermind behind the attack at the Dancing Dolphin. The trip to Colroux took around a week, however during their travels, the party encountered a group of rangers scouting the forests surrounding the town, commanded by Gyefroy Couviay, a high ranking member of the Baron's personal army. Gyefroy contronted the party as they approached a ruined bridge in the middle of the forest, just after the sun had set. He questioned the party about their intentions, as well as their desired destination. He inquired about the attack in Gennelés, interrogating the party about the state of Jaquet, whom the party had brought along as their prisoner on the way to Colroux. Somehow, Bastle and Xander were able to convince Gyefroy that they were headed to Colroux in hopes of returning Jaquet to his home after "saving him" from the ones attacking him in Gennelés. Xander had managed to sell himself as a distant cousin of the Baron, explaining that the group was made up of his personal caravan, headed coincidentally the direction of Colroux to visit when stumbling upon the fight at the Dancing Dolphin. Gyefroy hesitantly agreed and called off the rangers beyond the treeline which surrounded the party for what was planned to be an ambush. He then proceeded to guide the group the rest of the way to Colroux, with the Emperor hiding among the stock in the cart, and Menet, as well as Zyanya, presumed to be the personal assistants of Xander, with Bastle and Yrimir remaining as themselves, ambassadors of their respective homelands.

Upon reaching Colroux, the party was taken to the Baron's manor, walking through the occupied town, which gave a grim impression as to the state of living of the townspeople under the seemingly iron fist of Baron Corstax. The cart the party used for travel was stored away in a stablehouse in town, along with the Emperor, Capitan, and the Marian soldiers, while the party made their way to the Baron's manor, where Berend was able to exchange pleasantries with his sought after "cousin." The Baron, to celebrate this momentous occasion, arranged a feast for that evening, inviting several dignitaries from nearby city-states to attend and make merry. One such visitor to the manor on this night was Bastiano, the (unbenounced to her) godfather to Bastle, who revealed to her in a private conversation that he had visited Inonora recently in hopes of retrieving the Stardust for himself; a mission he confirmed had been ultimately fruitless, as the Stardust was nowhere to be found. This indicates that, not only was Bastiano nor any of his associates, known as the Order of Symme, responsible for the theft of the Stardust, but that they paid their visit to Inonora after Yrimir had already left in pursuit of the thief. During the celebrations, the Baron excused himself to go speak with Jaquet, who had been taken to the castle dungeons under concerns of treason. With this, the party elected to split up briefly, with Yrimir and Xander trailing the Baron down into the dungeon, while Bastle and Zyanya ventured to bring food from the feast to those in the stable, as well as sneak the Emperor into the manor under the guise of a member of the Baron's staff.

In the manor dungeons, Yrimir and Xander came across the Baron and Gyefroy questioning an incarcerated Jaquet, interrogating him about the events of the botched assassination attempt, as well as the location of the Emperor. Xander managed to intimidate him to remain silent about what he knows, and in order to avoid having him simply executed, Yrimir offered to perfom an act of "divine clairvoyance" which would allow him to see coax the truth of the events in Gennelés out of Jaquet. It was proposed that Yrimir would need a private location with open access to the night sky to most efficiently channel the energy from his divine lineage through the stars. The Baron agreed to this idea, and promptly set off to make available a space for this ritual. As payment for an agreement of cooperation with Hermant Monteil, a high ranking member of a growing civil resistance in Colroux, Xander set to go about freeing Jaquet from his shackles and evacuating him from the dungeon. When this idea was met with resistance from the guards, he decided instead to incite a riot among the other prisoners, generating enough of a rucous to lead the guards away for enough time to unlock Jaquet's bindings and lead him out of the dungeon. Yrimir, uninformed of this agreement, decided to put his trust in Xander in that moment despite his apprehension, granting him with Guidance, allowing him a higher chance of escaping undetected with Jaquet. The riot provided sufficient cover, allowing the group to exit the dungeon unseen and rendezvous with Bastle, Zyanya, and the Emperor in one of the bedrooms in the manor provided to the party by the Baron. Soon after, Hermant joined the group to thank Xander for freeing Jaquet and to help formulate a plan to overthrow the Baron and free Colroux from his tyranny.

## Important Items

### Fey Tarot Card Deck

A deck of tarot cards imbued with magic from the Feywoods. These cards are capable of looking into the future, however the events they fortell may not always be obvious or immediate.

Once per long rest, you may pull a tarot card to attempt to gain insight into any situation. While it will always grant you insight into some situation, it may not always be the one you ask for. When pulling a card, you must ask the deck a question, whatever insight or guidance you are trying to gain from this reading. The DM will then roll 1d20 secretly to determine the accuracy or relevance of your question, and will decide the outcome of the reading from there.

Only the wielder of the cards is able to physically see the image depicted by the card which answers your question, to everyone else the drawn card appears to be blank.

**Obtained from:** These cards were a gift to Yrimir from Ealirel, which he received before the start of the campaign.

### Fey Ring of the Healer

Cast in arcane Starsilver, this ring allows the wearer to harness greater healing and rejuvinative energy, which they can concentrate into others through the tips of your fingers. Any healing spells cast while wearing this ring grant an extra 1d8 points of healing.

Holding the ring towards moonlight casts a beam of light behind the ring in the shape of the moon symbol engraved into it.

**Obtained from:** Rophalin, a Fey Merchant Yrimir met in Forcetelia, who hails from a Fey Grotto in Jiang.

### Radiance Bomb

A small glass jar containing an assortment of powders. The overall color of the mixture is a light orange. This item is an alchemical conglomeration created by Ciosa Gritti.

When the powder makes contact with the air, it instantaneously ignites, creating a massive flash of light, blinding everyone looking in the direction of the explosion within a 30 ft. radius.

Because the powder is activated upon contact with the air, the bomb should only be used as a projectile, thrown with force to shatter the glass. Releasing the cork from the jar would similarly instantly ignite the powder.

**Obtained from:** A gift from Ciosa Gritti, given to Yrimir while hiding out in the abandoned prison in Forcetelia.

### Fey Grotto Map

A map of Pheris which labels the locations of a large group of Fey Grottos, namely throughout Forcetelia, Lysarile, and Mecatl. There are some marked in bordering countries, including Maria and Jiang.

Noticeably, there are no Fey Grottos marked in either Axbria or the Dominion.

Out of the nearly 30 mapped out Fey Grottos, around 25 have been crossed out, including Yrimir's Fey Grotto.

Above the map, written in Draconic, reads "Locations of Fey Grottos which may possess the Stardust."

**Obtained from:** This map was given to Yrimir by Metke, a document she stole from Xaman, whom she informed the party has developed an obsession with obtaining the Stardust and using it to resurrect his deity.

## Trivia

Having been born before traditional calendars were invented, in a place which even today does not keep track of time in such a way, the exact date of Yrimir's birth is unknown. Upon learning this, his party members bestowed upon him the birthday of February 26th, the day he first set foot outside of his Fey Grotto for the first time.

There are quite a lot of things that Yrimir has learned about since leaving Inonora, including more mundane concepts such as marriage, dungeons, and clocks.

Enjoying millenia worth of back-to-back bacchanalia within his Fey Grotto has heavily bolstered Yrimir's constitution when it comes to alcohol consumption. Normal alcohol has little to no effect on him, with only Fey alcohol having any meaningful effect on him.

Although Yrimir left Inonora rather abruptly, he still managed to make time to quickly go and retrieve a single item to take with him on his journey: an elegant silk-like robe, majenta in color with an interior lining which resembles the night sky. The stars on the pattern inside the robe move and twinkle as though it were actually the night sky, with even a comet passing through now and again.

Following the death of Mad Muri by the hands of Xaman at the Crystal Pool Inn, Yrimir adopted her familiar, Sniffle, an infernal bound to the form of a brimmed hat, whom he if often seen wearing these days.
