DM-Tareth's Modified Kingmaker Campaign
Game Master Tareth

Personality:
Kalenir is deeply religous, having undergone a full on conversion to the worship of Abadar. He does not, however, proselytize; he believes in conversion by example. Kalenir believes solidly that bringing civilization to the wilds is the best of all possible goals.

In general, Kalenir is fairly easygoing, with the possible exception of his feelings regarding banditry. He believes in process, that when possible criminals should have a trial (even if the outcome is a foregone conclusion), and when it is not, they should be dispatched or shown mercy quickly and without rancor. (Kalenir would not suggest a trial held in the wolderness, though he'd be inclined to give a survivor to speak his piece before rather then just slaying them, and he is not adverse to killing people or creatures in combat if it is the sensible way to do things).

TL;DR: Yes, a paladin, but not a prig incapable of dealing with the idea that other people have other ways of doing things.

History:
Coming from a branch of House Orlovsky (albeit a minor one), Kalenir spent much of his young life under the care of tutors, both martial and intellectual. (Trait: Noble Born-Orlovsky, Feat:Cosmopolitan). A gifted negotiator, he embodied much of the Orlovsky ideals, but always felt a bit out of touch with the rather disorganized state of Brevoys political landscape (Based on the most influential deities of the area, Brevoy seems pretty Chaotic in nature). Were he of lower standing, and less 'city-bred', he may have gravitated towards Erastil, but as it was he spent much of his early life directionless and disaffected.

That all changed during a trip to Restov with his father to perform some court function (he honestly cannot remember what it was...part of some byzantine negotiation for trade rights or some such). While walking through the city, lost in his own thoughts, he became separated from his party, and ended up down a side street, standing in front of a tiny, untenanted and unmaintained shrine to Abadar. Then and there he was struck by an understanding that this was what he lacked...order, and in his heart, he converted at once.

Over the past six months, Kalenir has been embroiled in multiple arguments with his family as they have gently tried to coax him from his foolishness, but he has held fast, absorbing everything he could from what few books were available on Abadar, and seeking out his clerics in the larger cities for instruction. His goal...his calling...has become to bring civilization and order to the untamed wilds of the Stolen Lands.

Code of Conduct:
The code below combines both the Core Paladin code, and that of Ababdar's paladins (from Faiths of Balance):
• I am an agent of civilization, and shall do my utmost to see it spread.
• I shall respect legitimate authority, doing my best to work within the laws of the land. Those laws I disagree with I shall attempt to change in a legitimate fashion.
• I shall act with honor; I shall not lie, nor cheat, nor use poison in the pursuit of my goals
• I shall help those in need, and punish those who harm or threaten innocents.
• I am a protector of the roadways and keep travelers from harm. No matter their destinations or goals, if they are peaceable and legitimate travelers who harm no others on the road, I will ensure that they pass safely.
• Bandits are a plague. Under my will they come to justice. If they will not come willingly before the law, where they can protest for justice in the courts, they will come under the power of my sword.
• Corruption in the courts is the greatest corruption of civilization. Without confidence in justice, citizens cannot believe in their countries, and civilization begins to disappear. I will root out corruption wherever I find it, and if a system is fundamentally flawed, I will work to aid citizens by reforming or replacing it.
• I am an aid to the markets. I ensure equitable trade between merchants and citizens. Theft on either side is intolerable.
• I make opportunities, and teach others to recognize them. When I aid others, I open the way for them, but will not carry them—they must take responsibility for their own advancement.

Personality: (Lawful Neutral). Controlled, rather cold. He has a chip on his shoulder about the Brevoy nobility in general, and the Surtovas in particular. Kern is not a 'people person'. While he is not a bad person per se, he is not particularly compassionate. He'd regret sacrificing one person to save ten, but that probably wouldn't stop him from doing so if it made sense.

History: Kern's mother, Roma Therensgart, was Captain of Horse for House Surtova until approximately 25 years ago, when she suddenly resigned and left Brevoy to travel to Lastwall. Her son, Kern, grew up formally educated with a generous stipend from House Surtova, a stipend that ended the moment he returned to the area. He has spent the last several years as a member of the Lastwall Riders, a border patrol that serves as a first defense and warning from orcish invaders. Kern makes no secret of his implied heritage, nor his anger at having been left unrecognized when he approached the Surtovas in Brevoy. He is in the Stolen Lands now so that he can make a name for himself, and then go back to the Surtovas and metaphorically poke a stick in their eye.

Imon was shaken by the experience. He'd heard stories that Restov was a hoted of sedition, but it was one thing to hear it, and another to know firsthand. He immediately decided to become a law enforcement agent, adapting the skills he'd developed as an actor to his new job. He was good at it too.

One of his big issues that Imon has always had is the Stolen Lands. He has always hated that nothing could be done to retake them. When he heard that an expedition was being launched to retake the Stolen Lands, he was eager and glad to volunteer.
