Aurora Carter

A Human adventurer and former lover of Pointy.

grew up in Anin with her parents. Unbeknownst to her, her parents used to be Vis’tani travelers. However, they decided to give up the lifestyle and move to
a more stable position in a major city. They changed their last name and took
up craftwork and art. Aurora, though, had the strong sense of adventure that
Vis’tani heritage instills in all.

It was through her mother’s
beautiful landscapes that Aurora decided she wanted to see more than just the
Brown Quarter of Anin. Though her father forbade it, Aurora snuck out late one night. She headed for Dryadis, hoping the greenery would inspire her. However,
she soon grew bored, and hired a guide to take her to the Faewild.

#### Time with Pointy

Once there, she was attacked by a
giant bird; she was saved by Teleragus Diragrion. They hit it off immediately;
he seemed knowledgeable but fun, adventurous, and like her, felt out of place
at home. She stayed in the Faewild for two years. While she loved the
landscapes and the creatures, the complexities of Eladrin society escaped her,
and she began to miss her more simple life at home.

#### Death

So, when a human man came to town, she was eager to meet with him, to speak to someone of her own kind. The
meeting went fairly well, though his demeanor changed when she told him of her
relationship with Pointy. She figured maybe he was just jealous and ignored it.
A few weeks later, the man came back and attacked her, screaming “traitor” and
“elf-lover.” This man was Seaorin, armed with the power of Autumn. He killed
her in the middle of the square.

Aurora’s death drove Pointy into
a mad rage and led to his vengeance-filled mission to find Seaorin.
Luoundos

Luoundos is the Isle of Leaves, the seat of Melora's power in the Astral Sea. It is home to the Children of Melora as well as The Womb, Melora's throne room.

During the Light of the Moon Tie-In story, the Isle of Leaves acted as a base for Consortium forces. They wrecked it, destroying much of the nature on the island. This was overturned when an elf named Aelis of the Moonleaf convinced Melora to turn coat and fight with the Coalition.
Matham

Matham is a Dwarven artificer and the only Dwarf to ever be a part of the Adventuring Guild. He took over the spot of Brak Stormbringer after the Goliath's soul was transported to Vuul'kira.

#### Backstory

As told in Light of the Moon (LoTV Tie-In Story), Matham is the creator of the Warforged, the metallic warriors sold to the Harbingers of Purity by the Dwarves. He was misled by his cousin, Hilmer, into inventing them, believing they would be used to defend the Dwarven Nations, not sold to a racist organization. When he objected, he was exiled from the Dwarven Nations and thrown on a boat to Lightning Falls in the Seven Clans Region. It was there that he met Kapak and joined the Adventuring Guild.

#### Light of the Moon

Matham got injured while tinkering with one of his inventions and ended up in the medical tent. It was there that he met Aelis of the Moonleaf, an Elven follower of Melora who had defected to the Coalition. He struck up a friendship with her, sharing some of his own past in an effort to help bring clarity to her situation. He showed her around Kord's encampment on Kilat and introduced her to the Coalition War Council.

#### Gearbox

Matham is also the inventor of the Gearbox, a semi-sentient magical item that he gifted to the Sandstriders.
Moonhold

Moonhold is the largest Eladrin settlement in the Faewild and is generally accepted to be their capital city. It is a magnificently designed and executed city, covered in gold, precious jewels, and natural landmarks, such as a great waterfall.

#### Campaign

The Sandstriders have been to Moonhold a few times. They went twice to elicit the help of Elanwen and the rest of the Eladrin in restoring balance to the seasons (once in Reclamation and once in Awakening). They also visited at the end of Awakening to further investigate some of the Eighth Son's Artifacts.

The Hogfather began in Moonhold as well.
Quen and the Sandstriders

### History

Quen and the Sandstriders were originally formed in the town of Osek, in the Kingdom of Stin Cepel. They came together by chance in their travels and were asked to investigate some odd occurrences around town. What they found led them on an epic quest to reclaim a kingdom, and through those trials, they became a true group.

Dragons

Dragons are an ancient race who existed alongside the Primordials. They are powerful and intelligent magical creatures who exist in many different varieties.

#### Traits

Dragons have existed since the dawn of time. They existed alongside the Primordials, in the time before the Gods. Dragons were always self-interested, prideful, and to a certain extent, greedy. However, they couch their desires in terms of honor and "what's right." Dragons are often apt to rationalize some terrible behavior or another due to their high levels of intelligence. Dragons exist from two major categories, Chromatic or Metallic, and there are dozens of subcategories within those.

#### Metallic Dragons

Metallic dragons are accepted to be generally more powerful than their Chromatic counterparts. Throughout history, Dragon society has been ruled by Metallic dragons (such as any Dragon can rule another). Platinum, Golden, Silver, Bronze, Copper, Mercury, and Steel dragons fall under this category, though there are more types than those.

#### Chromatic Dragons

Chromatic dragons are the weaker of the Dragon types, but are still incredibly powerful relative to the rest of the world. They tend to focus their efforts on more small-scale, base desires, such as food or gold. Chromatic dragons can be any color imaginable.

#### Dragon Powers

The type of power a Dragon contains and uses varies. It can be elemental, psychic, or physical. Many Dragons are able to change shape, taking on the likeness of a humanoid.

#### History and Society

While Dragons are generally self-sufficient and tend not to involve themselves in any sort of "Dragon government," there is an accepted hierarchy among dragons. The most powerful Dragon is considered to be the leader, and Dragons must heed his bidding. In the time of the Primordials, the leader was Malakai, the Golden Dragon, until he was defeated by Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon. Bahamut led the Dragons in a war against the Primordials and eventually they were defeated, leading to a new rule by the Council of Three.

#### Dragonborn

The Dragonborn were created by the Dragons as slaves many years ago. They are humanoid, but created in the likeness of the Dragons, and therefore have similar categories (Chromatic vs Metallic). However, scale type is not a determiner of status in Dragonborn culture as it is with true Dragons.

When Bahamut became leader, he freed the Dragonborn from slavery.
Gabriel

*"I hear things...things from the Ghost World."*

Gabriel is a young Elven boy in Jeff's resistance cell in post-apocalyptic Seattle. He has the unique ability to connect to the Ghost World without the use of external hardware.

Gabriel's mother died when he was very young, killed in a Mech attack. Jeff took him in and soon discovered his abilities. Jeff discouraged Gabriel from using them, however, believing it would cause nothing but trouble.

Gabriel often has vivid dreams. In one of these, a human named Stacy and an elf named Dalanir helped Jeff's resistance cell hit a Renraku base of operations. So, when the two of them appeared in Seattle with two other magical friends, Gabriel was amazed...and delighted. He took the Sandstriders back to his base, and agreed to help them find information in the Ghost World through Fulcrum, a mysterious digital entity.

In the Ghost World, Gabriel appears as a punky teenage girl in a leather jacket, worn jeans, and a nosering.

Isiri Prison

Isiri Prison is located in the Astral Sea and is generally regarded as the most secure prison on any plane. It is run by Liricosa, the Prison Warden.

#### Layout

Isiri Prison is laid out in concentric circles. It is made of seven levels, which increase in security as one gets deeper in: Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Grey, and Black. Cells are actually interdimensional portals, which helps guard against teleportation magic being used for prison-breaking purposes.

#### Campaign

During the Astral Civil War, the Consortium made a deal with Liricosa to use the prison for its prisoners. One of these prisoners was a Devil who had been spying on the Consortium for Asmodeus.

Vyseth called on the Sandstriders to attempt to break the Devil out of prison. They successfully infiltrated the prison, but when they reached the Black Circle, they discovered they had been duped and it was, in fact, a trap. They fought Liricosa and used Quen's Exodus Knife to escape.

Adventuring Guild

One of the premier warring
parties of the Eastern Continent, the Adventuring Guild is like a family to
Brak Stormbringer, who used to be a member of theirs before being banished to Vuul’kira. Led by Kapak, a strong warrior who dual-wields swords, the Guild carried out missions in the name of Kord. Other members include Niri, a brawler
who may or may not have had a romantic relationship with Brak; Lath, a
babbling, slightly insane hammer-wielder who doesn’t know when to shut his
mouth; Matham, a dwarven tinkerer/inventor who somehow ended up in the Guild
and took the role of healer after Brak left; and Vonak, a silent type who
wields a HUGE crossbow that shoots almost javelin-sized bolts.

The Guild decided to take some
initiative and prove themselves to Kord, while making sure their names were
blazed in glory forever. Under Kapak, the group traveled to the Underdark with
the mission of retrieving the Heart of Kord from Ti’irtha, the Spider Princess.
While there, they ran into the Sandstriders, with their old friend Brak, and
convinced them to join their quest. With their combined force, they defeated
Ti’irtha, and got back the heart of Kord. After defeating her, the Guild (sans
Brak) was summoned to fight at Kord’s side in the Astral Civil War. That is
what they are currently doing – whether together as a Guild, or alone, they
fight in the name of Kord’s Justice.
Richard Koshek

The twin
brother of Patrick Koshek, Richard also took up a life of monster hunting
after his parents were

killed. However, his life of hunting was cut very short,
as he was mauled by a werewolf after only a few months.

In Vuul’kira, he found
Oasis and lived there for a while, until he decided to run away with Daneida
and try to help create a new settlement. He escaped during the Events at the Old Gate, but his whereabouts are currently unknown.
Consortium (L&F)

*"Freedom for all who want it."*

The Consortium is a multiracial political and military entity founded by Humans. It is a coalition of planets and star systems who have joined together for common defense and economic gain.

#### History

When Humans discovered space travel, they brought ideals of commerce and aggressive exploration to the galaxy. They quickly learned new technologies from alien races and rose to prominence quicker than any other race had.

Seeing an opportunity for growth and security, the Humans put forth an idea to form a united coalition of planets. Their argument was that planets are stronger when they work together. Many races and planets liked this idea and signed up for the new Consortium.

The reach of the Consortium expanded dramatically over just a few decades. This caught the attention of The Spire, a mysterious but powerful group dedicated to conquest and enslavement of other races. They warned the Consortium that any attempt to move on their space would be met with resistance.

#### The Raven and The Spire

Tensions ran high. Already some Consortium actors had "poked the bear." Captain Jennifer Spears, then-commanding officer aboard the CSS PLATINUM DRAGON, ordered a non-sanctioned strike against what she believed was a secret military base. It turned out to be only a supply depot, non-military in nature.

As a measure of capitulation to The Spire, Spears was relegated to the CSS RAVEN QUEEN.

Events like these led some to believe the two were on the brink of war. So when Captain Spears disappeared, reportedly headed for Spire space for unknown reasons, the Consortium leadership got worried. They contacted the crew of the CSS RAPTOR to track her down and either bring her back or remove all evidence she had ever been in Spire space.

The crew was successful, and war was avoided...for a while.

#### The Consortium-Spire War

A few months after these events, full-on war broke out between the two sides. The Spire attacked the human colony of Relecron Theta, massacring hundreds of thousands of civilians and taking more in as slaves.

#### Fleet

The Consortium fleet is made of five general types of ships:

* Military Vessel (MV-series)
* Science Vessel (SV-series)
* Transport Vessel (TV-series)
* Exploration Vessel (EV-series)
* Engineering Vessel (EG-series)
Aziza Nawara

A political operative in Shapeir
and friend of Quen’s. The head of a minor house who used her influence to get a
spot in Shapeir city government – an actually good use of corruption, in this
instance. She owed Quen a favor for getting her out of a sticky political
situation once. She’s currently serving as Assistant Mayor to Darnyr Firebeard,
and is working very hard to improve the situation in Vitaurum. A female Rakshasa, a cat-woman.
Barbarians

Barbarians is the catch-all term for referring to the various clans or tribes who live in the Freezing Wastes.

#### History

Since there is no "Barbarian society" per se, no one is really sure when the first people moved into the Freezing Wastes. Some could have been Elves who moved there after being kicked out of the Faewild by the Eladrin; some may have moved from newly-created Stin Cepel, unwilling to bow to King Victor I; some may have been refugees from the Civil War of Woestijn, or Dwarves looking for a little adventure.

Regardless of how they started, throughout history, people have viewed them with fear and disdain. Especially before the Shadow Wars, Barbarians were used as a "bogey man" to strike fear into the populace and rally them around building up the military. In truth, very few Barbarians ever travel south of the Wastes. Those that do are usually older people who can't stand the cold anymore.

#### Campaign

After Tolsmir slaughtered his village in bloodlust due to accepting werewolfism through Bane, he was horrified. He decided to banish himself to the Freezing Wastes so nothing like that would ever happen again. His first few days, he almost died; but he was found by a group of Barbarians. The seemed generally unimpressed with his werewolfism; they were, after all, hardened warriors, and fought much larger creatures in the Wastes. They took Tolsmir under their wing and trained him in their ways of fighting.

Elia Whitewalker also spent time in the Wastes and made contact with some of the Barbarian clans, though she never joined or became friendly with them.
Battle of Broumov

*"It's too late...he's here...Cyric."*

*-Seaorin's final words*

The Battle of Broumov was the final battle between the loyalist forces of the Central Continent and the Harbingers of Purity. It ended the Harbinger Coup of Stin Cepel.

#### Participants

Elves (from Dryadis), Dragonborn (from the D.A.S.), Eladrin (from the Faewild), Half-orcs (from Woestijn), and agents from The Mixer's organization and the Stin Cepel Resistance Movement made up the majority of the loyalist forces.

They fought forces of the Harbingers of Purity, aided by Humans from Woestijn, forces from Vitaurum, and a shipment of mechanical fighters called Warforged, bought from the Dwarves.

#### The Sandstriders

The Sandstriders first made an appearance in the Foothills region of Stin Cepel in an effort to force the Harbingers to redirect troops there. They then used the Shadowfell Portals to move to the Eastern Reach, where they then marched with the Elves and Eladrin towards the capital.

The Sandstriders' main goal was to make it to the castle and defeat Gramorn and Seaorin - to cut the head off the snake - and to remove the gem from the altar there, to free Jenova. At various points, they fought, stealthed, and bluffed their way through the streets of Broumov. This ultimately ended with the summoning of an illusory dragon which cleared the way for entry into the castle.

When in the castle, they faced down Seaorin in the royal throne room. They eventually defeated and killed him.

#### Team B

Meanwhile, Team B led now-Queen Vyra through the streets of Broumov. They protected her as she carried the flag of Stin Cepel and rallied her people to her cause. Grun Bloodletter carried her on his back through the streets and over rooftops.

They set up in the square, determined to hold off waves of enemies as the Queen rallied the city. Eventually, Gramorn Duskfell came with his personal contingent of guards. He was slain by Evangeline Krost, who eventually took his job.

#### Reclamation

The Battle of Broumov proved a decisive victory. The remaining Harbinger forces scattered and Queen Vyra retook her throne. She made a speech announcing the Sandstriders as the "Stin Cepel Seven" and the entire group - along with Team B - as "Reclaimers." She vowed to reunify the country.

Now, every year on the anniversary of the battle, Stin Cepel celebrates "Reclamation Day," a day of patriotism and unity.
Blue Gem

The Blue Gem is one of the Seven Colored Gems of Vuul'kira. It contains the soul of a dead Shardmind.

#### Cyric

When Cyric left Vuul'kira, he spread the colored gems all around. He took special time to sabotage the blue gem, instilling a powerful psionic spell. This created a dimension which appeared as a Temple of Cyric, containing guardians who would attempt to destroy the minds of any who touched the blue gem.

The Sandstriders found the blue gem in the sands of Vuul'kira. They defeated the mind trap and were able to retrieve the gem.
Orange Gem

The Orange Gem is one of the Seven Colored Gems of Vuul'kira. It contains the soul of a dead Shardmind.

#### Retrieval

After Cyric left Vuul'kira, the seven gems were scattered across the plane. One of them ended up in the hands of the Genasi, who immediately recognized its power. They replaced the normal supply of Mafari Crystals that had been powering their wall of fire with the Orange Gem. The wall increased in potency, and the Orange Gem powered it indefinitely.

The Sandstriders came to the Genasi city in the Elemental Dunes in search of the Orange Gem to create a gate out of Vuul'kira. They had planned on negotiating, but they were kept waiting by Sharassa for 10 hours, leading to the Destruction of the Spire. The Sandstriders made off with the gem, the Genasi hard on their trail.
Ilana

Ilana was a simple Elven ranger whose life took a very unexpected turn. According to her own firsthand account, she was traveling through the woods in Dryadis at night trying to hunt game when she came upon a moonbeam. Entranced by it, she walked closer, and when she reached her hand in she was transported to another plane, unlike any she had heard of. She found blue-skinned elves there who spoke a very different dialect, but clearly Elven. She figured out that she was on the Lunar Plane – the Moon. After spending three days there, the Moon Elves sent her back – but she managed to steal a black stone, Ilana's Moonstone, before she left.

Unfortunately, no one believed Ilana during her lifetime. She was cast out as a lunatic, and indeed did become obsessed with making it back to the Moon. One day, she disappeared. Some say she just ran away and died quietly; others say she found a way back to the Moon and lived out the rest of her days there.
Purple Gem

The Purple Gem is one of the Seven Colored Gems of Vuul'kira. It contains the soul of a dead Shardmind.

#### Retrieval

The gem had been taken by the Sandcrawler Queen as a trophy. The Sandstriders, with guidance and help from the Thri-Kreen, snuck into the Sandcrawler tunnels and retrieved the gem. They killed the Sandcrawler Queen in the process.
Dwarven Nations

*"The Dwarves sit in their mountains and dawdle. They care not for the outside world, except where it can bring them profit."*

The Dwarven Nations is the catch-all term for all the Dwarf clans who live in the northern chain of the Planewalker Mountains, as well as the chain itself. The capital is Treghdor. They are located on the Central Continent, north of Stin Cepel and between the Volcanus Wastes and the Freezing Wastes.
Half-orcs

*"My Human side is bored and my Orc side is restless. That's not a good combination for you."*

Half-orcs is the catch-all term for those of dual Human and Orc blood who hail from the country of Woestijn. While some Half-orcs have popped up throughout history - most, unfortunately, as a product of wartime sexual assault during the Civil War of Woestijn - as a race, it is generally agreed they began around 450 B.C., during the Shadow Wars.

#### Traits

Half-orc traits vary, especially depending on which side they take after more. Half-orcs can swing from bloodthirsty to contemplative. At best, they combine the best facets of both races - the physical strength and fortitude of Orcs and the mental curiosity and strategy of Humans. Half-orcs are resilient, both physically and mentally. They tend to have greenish skin and prominent canine teeth. Prior to the end of the most recent Civil War, Half-orcs had no homeland, so many felt out of place wherever they went.

Contrary to popular belief, most "Half-orcs" don't have exactly half Orc and half Human blood. The percentages vary, which is why it's difficult to nail down exact "traits" for a Half-orc.

#### History

During the Shadow Wars, the Orc and Human armies of Woestijn put aside their differences and joined forces in an effort to overtake Stin Cepel. This led to a lot of, shall we say, fraternization between the two races, both on the front lines and among those left behind to tend the homesteads. A spate of Half-orcs began to be born during the war and in the months directly after.

After the end of the Shadow Wars, conflicts arose again between the two sides. Some Orcs and Humans, though, did not want to continue to take part in the war, and so decided to peacefully coexist. This is when the town of Osteger was founded - a haven for those who did not wish to be at war with each other.

Over time, more and more continued to intermix. Half-orcs bred with Half-orcs, or humans, or orcs.

#### Civil War of Woestijn

Eventually, the Half-orc population became so large that they essentially became a third party in the war. Many times, they attempted to bring the other sides together, but it always failed. They were drawn into the conflict. Alliances shifted over time, but kept a balance that kept the war continuing.

When the Harbinger Coup happened, the Harbingers of Purity began providing troops and supplies to the Humans of Woestijn. The situation looked dire, but through the strong military leadership of Ulrak, the strategic mind of McCreedy, and the diplomacy of Belros, the Half-orcs formed an alliance with the Orcs and, with the help of the Sandstriders and Team B, eventually won the Civil War of Woestijn, once and for all.
Bane

*"I grant you the power to destroy your enemies...but not the power to end there."*

**Alignment:** Evil

**Domains:** Skill, War, Bloodshed, Wolves

**Followers:** Banesworn; The Order of Blood; Priests are called Dreadpriests

Bane is the Wolf God of Bloodshed. He delights in violent conflict of any kind and will go out of his way to create it, whether by himself or through mortals. He offers the "gift" of werewolfism to mortals; this is how Tolsmir became a werewolf.

Bane hates Kord with a bloody passion. So, when Cyric put together his Consortium, Bane signed up immediately.
Relam Drelas

Relam Drelas was a Drow thief and general lowlife. He worked for the Mixer's organization prior to the Harbinger Coup, and was a friend of William Maynots. During the Coup, he betrayed Maynots for his own gain, but was outsmarted and captured by Harbinger forces. He was relocated to the Shadowfell; he eventually escaped, but was found again by Maynots and the Sandstriders, and killed by a crossbow bolt in the head.
Raj

Raj is a large town located in the Eastern Reach of Stin Cepel, near the border with Dryadis. Its population contains more Wood Elves than any other city or town in Stin Cepel, and the influence of Dryadis is reflected in the wood-dominated architecture and buildings.

Raj was the base of operations for The Mixer before the Harbinger Coup, when she was forced to move to Eladra, in Dryadis.

#### Campaign

After witnessing the Harbinger Coup, Raj was the first destination of the Sandstriders, who came to free Elendeil from imprisonment. They would return multiple times throughout the years, usually just to quickly stop in on their way to somewhere else.

During the Astral Civil War, they came to Raj in search of Robin Stanislov, who reportedly lived outside the town somewhere. With the help of Benji, the son of The Mixer, they eventually found him.
Finn Ro'Hani

*"It was a flash of light, a loud noise, and I got knocked out. When I came to...your parents were just gone."*

Quen’s uncle who had been the
leader of the Ro’Hani clan on the Isle of Beasts in the Astral Sea. The brother
of Quen’s father Kett, Finn traveled with her parents for years, until
something terrible happened to them. According to Finn, they had angered the Council of Three and were punished for it, but he does not know for certain what happened to this day.

He took his people to the Astral Sea and hid them
on the Isle of Beasts for years. Recently, Quen found the clan and convinced
them to leave the island, as the Consortium was going to take over. Currently,
the clan is in Kord’s camp, willing to help however they can.
King Vaclav

King Vaclav of House Broum, or "Vaclav the Oaf" as some knew him, was the 96th ruler of Stin Cepel. He was murdered in the Harbinger Coup, along with his wife, Queen Jana, and two of his children, Prince Tomas and Princess Lenka. He was preceded by his mother, Queen Melania III, and succeeded by his daughter, Vyra.
Jennifer Spears

Jennifer Spears was Captain of the CSS RAVEN QUEEN, a science vessel charged
with archaeological exploration. Tracking her down was the main focus of The Raven and The Spire.

#### Backstory

Captain Spears is a military captain by
training, and was one of the fine military minds of the Consortium for a long
time. She has a reputation for having a very “realpolitik” viewpoint. She
always wants to put the Consortium’s interests first. She worked her way up to
captaining one of the flagships of the Consortium, the CSS PLATINUM DRAGON.

She was assigned to the RAVEN QUEEN after getting into a
dogfight with a Spire vessel in the neutral zone. As conciliatory measure to
the Spire, the Consortium stripped her of command of the PLATINUM DRAGON and
assigned her to the science vessel. Obviously, Captain Spears was not thrilled
about this.

#### The Raven and The Spire

On an expedition to some ruins on Vita 4, Captain Spears
found some Void Crystals, powerful gemstones whose power she believes could be
unlocked for a greater purpose. She also finds a priest, Father Kyle, who
espouses a belief in Siithrak, the Dread God of the Void. He tells her of other
ruins on other planets that may have Void Crystals; one of these is Genos Prime. On the way there, she dropped Father Kyle off at Omnia Outpost.

Despite opposition from some of her crew, including Commander Vera Yaren, she orders the RAVEN QUEEN through the dangerous Plasma Wastes. They prove too much for the ship's shields, and it doesn't make it. Captain Spears takes the only shuttle and makes a break for Genos Prime.

Once she arrives, she beams down to the planet in search of more Void Crystals. She is met by the crew of the CSS RAPTOR. She tries to convince them to help her, but in the end is KO'ed by Mack Reddie.

Once the crew returned to Consortium HQ, Captain Spears was court-martialed.

Genasi

*"Fire. Water. Earth. Air. These are the elements which make up the world, the Genasi."*

The Genasi are an ancient elemental race, created by the Primordials. They are the last bastion of a bygone age. Genasi are the embodiment of the four primary elements. They are able to channel their elemental energies.

When the Council of Three defeated the Primordials, they banished the Genasi to Vuul'kira, the Plane of the Unwanted. There, they formed a city in the Elemental Dunes, powering a wall of fire which protected them from the threats of the realm. They used the Orange Gem to improve this defense, placing it in top the the Spire.

#### Campaign

The Sandstriders entered the Elemental Dunes in search of the Orange Gem. They sought to collect all Seven Colored Gems so they could escape Vuul'kira. They were captured by two Firesoul guards and made to wait to meet Sharassa, the leader of the Genasi. This did not sit well with the Sandstriders and resulted in the Destruction of the Spire.

After the Spire was destroyed, the Genasi organized for retribution. They marched west toward the Old Gate, but did not arrive in time to influence the Events at the Old Gate.

#### Types of Genasi

There are five types of Genasi:

* Firesoul
* Watersoul
* Earthsoul
* Airsoul
* Voidsoul

Voidsoul Genasi are generally treated as social pariahs by the other four types.
Elves

Elves (or, more officially, Wood Elves) are one of the three Elven races created in the Elven Split. They inhabit Dryadis in the Central Continent of the Material Plane. They were kicked out of the Faewild by the Eladrin thousands of years ago.

#### Traits

Wood elves are generally shorter than their Drow or Eladrin brethren. They are attuned to nature, usually have good dexterity, and delight in friendly competition. They have a sense of humor that can sometimes seem overbearing to other races. Elves live longer than Drow but not as long as Eladrin. They generally grow to be 200-400 years old.

#### Politics

Elves were the first - and currently only - of all races to institute a democratic system based on the will of the people. A true democracy became too unwieldy, but they still follow a democratic republic-style government. There is an Elven royal family, but they are generally ignored by the public.

#### Roles

If a wood elf decides to become an adventurer, s/he usually tends towards being a ranger/bowman or a druid of some sort. Some elves become Priests of Melora, as she is the most popular deity among elves.
Lunar Plane

The Lunar Plane is one of the planes of existence that can be seen from the Material Plane as the moon. It is home to the Moon Elves. The existence of the Lunar Plane is disputed by some, as the only evidence came from a Wood Elf named Ilana. The Sandstriders spoke to Moon Elves on Vuul'kira who confirmed the Lunar Plane as their place of origin.
Dryadis

Dryadis is the Elven nation of the Material Plane, located on the Central Continent to the east of Stin Cepel. Dryadis is the oldest

political entity on the Material Plane, populated by Wood Elves after the Elven Split thousands of years ago.

### Geography

Dryadis is heavily wooded. It is fairly flat. A river runs from the northern portion of the country to the south, where it ends at the Strait of Traveler's Rest. The northern portion of the country is usually cold, due to its proximity to the Freezing Wastes.

### Politics

The capital of Dryadis is a city called Eladra. This is where the Elven Parliament sits. Dryadis is unique in that it runs as a democratic republic, unlike the monarchies, oligarchies, or anarchies of other Material Plane countries. There is an Elven royal family, but they serve only as figureheads and are generally ignored by the public.

### Population

The population is made of mostly Wood Elves, though the country accepts all races.
Godras

*"I didn't* actually *almost kill you. The arrow was a full three inches from your head. No one has a sense of fun around here."*

Godras is an Elven werewolf and member of the Elven military. He is based in Dryadis and has interacted with the Sandstriders on multiple occasions.

#### Backstory

Godras began his adventuring career with Elendeil and
Indar. The three became incredibly close, and Godras and Elendeil even had a
romance going. However, one fateful day, the three became stranded on an island
with enemies all around them. Indar suggested hiding and waiting until more
help arrived; “discretion is the better part of valor." Elendeil, on
the other hand, suggested they use guerrilla-like tactics, striking from above,
and pick off the enemy in small chunks.

Godras, however, saw how badly they
were outnumbered and just *knew* it
would only be a matter of time until they were caught and killed. On this
island lived an old man who happened to be a werewolf. While there, the party
spoke to him, and he offered to pass the power on  to them. Initially, they refused; but, after
being stranded and outnumbered, Godras decided to take the mantle himself.

Elendeil fought vehemently
against this decision. Indar also opposed it, but said it was Godras’ choice.
Godras made the choice, became the werewolf, and with the strength of his wolf
form, the group was able to defeat their enemy and make it off the island. After that, though, things got rocky with Elendeil, and the three friends quit
working together, growing distant over time.

#### Campaign

All that time, Godras still
carried a torch for Elendeil; so, when she was captured by the Harbingers of Purity
and put in jail, he started to scheme how to break her out. When the
Sandstriders came to town, he worked with them to break her out of jail;
afterwards, he had an encounter with Patrick Koshek, the monster hunter, in
which Koshek was defeated.

Godras has seen the Sandstriders on multiple occasions since then, mostly when they passed through Dryadis on the way to or from the Faewild. He enlisted their help when Elendeil was framed for the murder of Belbinal.

He is an important member of the Elven Guard, the military arm of the government. He traveled with Elendeil and Queen Vyra to assist Coalition forces in the Astral Civil War.

Broland

of skills to Stin Cepel – namely, rogue-ish, criminal-type skills. He ran jobs for himself before getting caught up with Third Eye, The Mixer's main competition in Stin Cepel.

#### Campaign

When the
Harbingers of Purity took control of the country, however, Broland used those skills to
gather a group of resistance fighters and carry out guerrilla warfare tactics. He was the main force behind the Stin Cepel Resistance Movement. He was eventually captured and put into a prison camp, later to be rescued by his
sister and the Sandstriders. He and his sister reconnected and remain close to
this day, though she is off in the Faewild.

After Reclamation, Broland became
an agent for the Queen, providing intel, mostly on Harbinger remnant cells. He
also led an expedition into the Planewalker Mountains to discover why the
Dwarves had gone silent. Currently, he still runs the intelligence wing of the Queen's army, and is now mostly dedicated to hunting down New Harbinger cells in Stin Cepel.
Asana

*"I do not understand your strange need for physical contact. But, fine."*

Asana is a Shardmind artificer and advisor to Queen Vyra. She is an original member of the Sandstriders and traveled with them in Episode I: Reclamation. She also created the gate that freed them from Vuul'kira in Episode II: Oasis. She is the only Shardmind that escaped Vuul'kira by jumping through the gate created for Cyric.

### Backstory

Asana appeared on the Material Plane over 120 years ago, with no memory of how she arrived there. She is a
Shardmind – the only known one of her kind on the Material Plane. She was found
in the forests of the Elven nation of Dryadis. While she knew almost nothing,
she learned incredibly quickly, mastering Elven and Common within a few years,
although she could not speak aloud (she uses her mind to speak telepathically).
She became fascinated with learning about anatomy and how bodies and mechanics
work, and began studying biology and chemistry. Through her studies, she met
Belbinal, a talented chemist who took her under her wing and taught her the
finer points of brewing potions.

Eventually, Asana decided she
needed a new challenge. So, with the recommendation of many Elven chemists,
Asana gained employ in Stin Cepel. Eventually, her renown grew and she was
hired by the Royal Family, first as a simple potion-brewer and eventually as
the Royal Embalmer (though her job description was much broader than that). She
spent much of her time researching, and in her free time, started testing out
magical abilities, as well as learning how to shoot a crossbow. All of this
interested Princess Vyra, the youngest of the royal children and by far the
least regal. Asana and Princess Vyra struck up a friendship of sorts – Asana
taught her how to shoot, how to brew potions, and how to enchant magical items.

### Campaign

Asana met the rest of the Sandstriders in Osek, where she was researching a new type of plant that could make healing
potions more effective. When the Harbinger Coup happened, she decided to travel
with the party to find Princess Vyra. She was an integral part of the Reclamation
of Stin Cepel, and became an important advisor to the now-Queen Vyra.

When the party was transported to
Vuul’kira, Asana was almost immediately taken captive by Maron, the Administrator of Oasis. The Shardminds are a legend in Vuul’kira. The plane was
created by the Gods as a sort of prison for the Genasi. However, as an
unintended consequence of the magics which created the plane, a new race – the
Shardminds – was born. These Shardminds were gatekeepers and, in a stroke of
irony, were the only ones with the knowledge and power of how to open a portal
to get off the plane.

Asana was stabbed with a knife as
a message to the party, but did not die. In fact, she ran the ritual which
opened the portal back to the material plane. Currently, she is still serving
as an advisor to Queen Vyra.

Althern Rivendorn

*"Oh, that's fascinating! I simply must write it down...now where is my pen..."*

Althern Rivendorn is an Eladrin wizard, scholar, and author, based in Moonhold. He is the ranking expert on the Seasonkeeper and wrote the book *Heroes of the Faewild* about the Sandstriders' exploits in dealing with the Autumn Queen.

#### Campaign Appearances

* During Reclamation, he helped provide information to the Sandstriders about the Seasonkeeper, and wrote the book *Heroes of the Faewild* about them.
* During Astral Rifts, he lent Laz a scroll of sending, and then was nearly killed when Asmodeus summoned Laz back to the Astral Sea.
* Althern has tasked himself with writing the complete chronicle of the Astral Civil War.
Datari

Datari is a Tiefling Astral stalker in the employ of the Eighth Son.

#### Backstory

Datari comes from a long line of assassins. She spent most of her life in the Astral Sea, working with her parter, Arzoa. They were banished when they attempted - and failed - to murder the High Priest of The Raven Queen.

#### Campaign

Datari and Arzoa knocked out Laz Ursulus and brought him to the Eighth Son after Eighth Son saw Laz's likeness on a piece of wall from the Temple of the One. When Laz was sent to follow the Sandstriders, Datari and Arzoa checked in on him, using Datari's Astral Mark to track him wherever he went.

While the Sandstriders were gone in the Faewild, Datari and Arzoa assassinated The Mixer, pinning the blame on Elendeil. They continued to monitor Laz until he had his demonmark removed by an expert in Gurno.

The duo returned to Eighth Son and were there when he held his economic conference. The Sandstriders defeated them in battle and dismantled Eighth Son's operations. Datari, Arzoa, and Eighth Son are all currently sitting in prison cells in Stin Cepel.
Arwench

*"I like maps, I like swords, I like winter. What else do you want in a woman?"*

Arwench is the Winter Knight. She is a Half-elf member of the Dryadis military who traveled with both the Sandstriders and Team B during Episode I: Reclamation.

### Backstory

Arwench was born and raised in
Dryadis with her brother, Broland. Quite a few years ago, the two had a falling
out. Broland moved to Stin Cepel and pursued, quite bluntly, a life of crime.
Arwench, on the other hand, joined the elven military forces. She was okay as a
swordsman, but not very talented with a bow. She found herself wanting to be a
greater warrior.

One day, while traveling near the
border of the Freezing Wastes, Arwench came across a blade of ice lodged in the
ground. Unable to reign in her curiosity, she grabbed the sword and was
transported to the lair of the Empress of Winter. The Empress congratulated her
on finding the sword and for being found worthy of the mantle of the Winter
Knight.

“But I’m really not that great of a warrior,” Arwench said. “Oh, not
yet, dear,” the Empress replied. “You just need the right tools.” She motioned
to the sword. Arwench accepted the mantle; the Empress told her that from that
day forth, all she does will be in the name of Winter, and if she is ever needed,
she will be required to show up. Arwench agrees and is transported back to
Dryadis.

### Campaign

From then on, Arwench rose
in the ranks and became one of the best warriors in the military. When the
Sandstriders came to Dryadis, she decided to join up with the party. Her
brother, Broland, had been taken hostage in one of the prison camps in the
Foothills of Stin Cepel. By that time, he had become one of the leaders of the
underground Stin Cepel Resistance Movement. The party came up with a plan to
infiltrate the prison and break out her brother. While there, they ran into
another group, led by McCreedy, who had come to free Ulrak (an important
half-orc figure). A huge battle ensued; Arwench went with Broland and the rest
of Team B back to Styr, while the Sandstriders went to Woestijn.

Arwench returned to the Faewild to serve the Empress of Winter after the Reclamation of Stin Cepel. She has since, at the bidding of her master, joined the fray in the Astral Civil War.
Levistus

*"That's the thing about ice. You may melt it, but as soon as the temperature drops, there it is again."*

**Alignment:** Evil

**Domains:** Ice, Deception

**Followers:** The Legion of the Unchained

Levistus is the Ice Prince of the 7th Hell. Many years ago, he rebelled against Asmodeus and attempted to seize the throne of all the Nine Hells; however, he was betrayed by his so-called allies at the last minute. He was encased in ice and set to rot in his Hell.

He still had loyalists, however, and he used these agents to contact outside forces to work with him. One such example is when he sent a devil to make a deal with Pointy to save his soul, after he'd been killed by the Autumn Queen.

When Cyric stripped the Council of Three of their divinity, he saw a chance to weaken Asmodeus by freeing Levistus. The Ice Prince then joined Cyric's Consortium, with the promise that he would finally achieve his dream of ruling the Nine Hells.
