GM Kingslayer's Kingmaker Campaign

Game Master Divinitus

When a varisian bard troupe rolls through towns people check their wallets, spouses and children, in that order. Most times people get too caught up in the laughter and revelry that often accompanies such visits to worry overly much about such things, a situation most itinerant varisians find most welcome.

When Alazendi's father came across such a troupe along the edges of the forest while on a hunting trips, he was instantly enthralled. He had never seen dancing with such wild abandon and the wine flowed seemingly without limit. When a pretty young girl had pulled him into the dance area his alcohol befuddled senses deadened his noble caution and he began to move without a second thought.

What seemed like hours and hours later found him in the forest with the same girl, beddingher under the light of a full moon in a glen. The next day he had awoken in the same field with the rest of his family.

To a man each had been stripped of anything valuable.

With the exception of the clothes on their back and the hangover induced headaches the young men had nothing to show for their hunt or tryst except for loud and befuddled memories. As a group they stumbled along the roads until found by a patrol that had been sent out by their family to track down the wayward sons. That was the last any of the boys thought that night.

A year and a half later found a single woman struggling along the same road turned to thick mud by a fierce spring rainstorm. When she had arrived at the gates of the ancestral city of the Medvyed family aboard a small, rickity wagon pulled by a sorry example of a donkey the guards had written her off as yet another traveling merchant. She had continued driving through the mountain town with grim determination, occasionally looking over her shoulder at the precious commodity sleeping wrapped in several layers of blankets.

When the wagon arrived at the foot of the Stoneclimb Fortress the woman had gone straight to the small temple of Pharasma whose doors had opened at her approach. The next day a message went out requesting the presence of the Lord Gurev Medvyed, recently elevated to Lord of the family upon the death of his father two weeks prior. When Lord Gurev arrived the pharasman priestess presented him with the sleeping baby and a package containing a letter and the royal Medvyed ring he had lost over a year ago after waking up in the forest glen.

The letter came from the girl he had not seen in over a year, claiming that she had gotten pregnant from their union that night. The young boy with black hair and golden eyes sleeping peacfully in the priestess arms was his son the letter claimed. A truth spell cast by several pharasman priests as well as the local Abadarian priest all proved the letters contents. The young varisian had survived long enough after losing most of her family to an overturned raft in a swollen river to get to the temple and give birth, losing her life in the process. After questioning the girl's spirit the pharasman's had written the letter and sent one of their own to take the child to it's father.

Thus began the noble but troubled life of Alazendi. Named by his mother in the letter, he was not the first born of his father. That distinction went to his brother Glenil, older by six months and general tyrant to the young bastard. His kind hearted father could never name Alazendi as a member of the Medvyed family but neither would he turn away one of his own children, no matter the situation of their birth. So Alazendi was often sent to schools further in the south of Brevoy where he earned his name Greysilk for the grey scarf he always wore for some reason.

When away from his family the normally subdued boy with the distinctly varisian hair and eyes was often wildly exuberant, annoying and impressing his instructors with his analytical mind and skill with music. While his weak body precluded him from many of the normal physical activities from the other noble sons in the school he soon discovered his skill with magic in various ways. Whether through music or arcane formulae an entirely new world opened within Alazend's mind and he dedicated himself to his studies with a fervor.

As he grew into his teen years a new problem cropped up beyond the normal disdain for noble bastards. While his older brother studied the rules of lordship from their father Gurev and Alazendi's stepmother continued to ignore him, Natalya came to study at the school near where he was taking advanced classes. Natalya was only two years younger and was famous for wearing pants and studying the art of swordplay. As a descendant of a lesser branch of the Medvyed family and a woman she had no hope of ascending the ranks of nobility except through marriage, a concept the flame-haired fireband was thoroughly disgusted with.

Studying the arts of the Aldori Swordlords kept her mind and body occupied while being near the black sheep of the Medvyed family she had grown to love kept her heart occupied. He was the real reason why she refused to wed any man, the reason why she had argued so much with her mother about going to the Aldori school when she had learned where he was taking his own schooling.

Though many members of the family at best ignored the young man, she had been unable to ignore the glossy black hair that fell to his shoulders in waves or the strange golden eyes unique to varisians. The first time she had seen him smile her heart had fluttered and she often wondered why so many women treated this beautiful man little more then a tolerated brigand.

Alazendi had at first ignored the nosey younger cousin whenever she would be sent to visit their family. She would often come into his rooms unannounced or invited and lay on his bed, complaining about yet another argument with her strict mother. He understood the motivations her parents had whenever she was sent to visit. He also understood the feigned disinterest his stepmother would suddenly develop about her own son whenever the young girl would visit. While the politics of nobility were often strange and a point of contention for the young bastard, he understood grooming a potential daughter in law when he saw it.

He didn't often have time to think of how uncomfortable these thoughts made him with how rigorous his studies were. Still he began to enjoy her presence as he got older, loosening up and allowing her to see the Alazendi that usually only came forth when he was nowhere near his father's family or any of their retainers. Freindship gradually grew into something more as they began to feel the natural emotions that came with puberty and then experience, and for the past three years the pair had enjoyed a sordid, steamy and quite forbidden relationship.

This all changed one day when his stepmother had gone into his room and rifled through his drawers looking for a series of letters she thought he was writing to smear her name. Instead she had discovered a secret compartment at the bottom of a desk drawer and inside numerous letters written to the bastard of her husband from the girl she one day hoped to marry to her actual son!

Of course as the bastard Alazendi was the one blamed for trying to corrupt the purity of oldest Medvyed girl from his generation. No matter what Natalya said it was he who was forced into exile with a warning that if he ever returned to Medvyed land his life was forfeit. Burning with the furious rage he rarely felt the young scholar packed everything he could carry and never returned to Stoneclimb and took his nickname Greysilk. Traveling south he eventually came to the city of Restov where he worked as a tutor to merchant children. Hearing about an opportunity to travel south into what was known as the Stolen Lands and make his own way into world, Alazendi traveled to the mayor's office to find out more information.

Whether only his life, his companions or perhaps something larger, Alazendi would make it better.

Personality: Years of torment from his half brother and passive hostility from his stepmother forged Alazendi with an iron mind. He's has learned to keep his true self hidden from most and only unveils what Natalya calls his "gorgeous smile" around the few people whose company he enjoys and trusts. From his education he's learned that the attitudes from his family are by far the minority and in the tough conditions of the Brevoy people, deed and personality garnered a person more respect then title or noble blood. When his guards are down he laughs easily and loudly, seeing the world as a dangerous but still beautiful place filled with life, adventure and hilarity. He is often seen as slow to act because he usually analyzes a situation thoroughly to come up with the correct answer. Arcane magic is beautiful in all of it's various forms and the key to unlocking something far greater then his bastard blood would normally be allowed.

Appearance: Moderately tall for a human, his body seems weak and frail except for his dance-like movements and deft manipulation of quills and pens with his long fingers. He has the pale skin native to the kellids of the north with lustrous black hair that falls to his shoulders and bright golden eyes shielded by long, black eyelashes. He keeps his face clean shaven at all times as he found it quite hard to grow anything that could be called a beard or mustache. His brown longcoat and leather armor, though plain, are always kept clean and meticulous. He has numerous pouches and pockets on the inside of his jacket and along a bandoleer that goes from right hip to left shoulder. His fingers and hands are often stained with the faint remainders of ink from the dozens of pages he fills up.

A beautiful flute made from white wood is always seen in a holster along his right hip.

"He is an odd boy." These were the first words Iacamo Cymbol could remember hearing, and they were repeated an uncountable number of times as he grew up. He always heard voices whispering. He always felt the prick of presences beyond his family and servants. But he learned quickly to quiet his 'oddness' around others. He never spoke of the drowned boy he befriended by the lake, even when his history lessons lied about how the boy died. He never spoke about the little men he caught tiptoeing through the kitchens stealing milk from the cat. He especially never spoke of the shadow that hovered around and whispered to his Uncle Steben - the cruel one.

He knew no one would understand, and he learned well the lesson of Great Aunt Iliandya; the screams and cries from her attic room kept him from sleeping some nights. She wasn't allowed out, and everyone pretended it was the dogs when company came. He didn't want to end up like her. So Iacamo was silent.

But still they alway muttered, always out of hearing of his father, "He is an odd boy." He couldn't keep his shadow from biting at the servants. It would not behave, so he tried to remain in the dark. But that was odd too. He couldn't always help answering when his name was called, even if no one else heard. He couldn't avoid stepping aside when something was in his path, even as others walked blithely through the same space. He tried to pretend it was a game, but even so, it was such a very 'odd' game.

The only one who understood was the old Shoanti guard, Tohte, father brought back from his travels far to the East, back in his adventuring days. Tohte spent most of his time at Father's side, but what little time he had left was spent with his friend's odd son. Tohte laughed at the stories of little men and dead boys, and grew grim as he learned of the shadow. He became Iacamo's only friend. Iacamo was proud to share such a friend with his father. That is until Tohte died.

Then Iacamo did not have to share. Tohte was always there when he needed him. For advice, as a teacher, as a warning to never mention the shadow to anyone again. Tohte taught the odd boy how to speak to those who weren't or shouldn't be there. He taught him to be a man, taught him the weapons and skills of the Shoanti. And when the boy, now a young man, had Shoanti tribal markings inscribed on his chest neck and arm, Iacamo was encouraged to take his hammer and elaborately carved shield, his weighted cords, and most importantly his oddness away to seek a better fortune in the Stolen Lands. The spirits followed.

----------------------- Traits -----------------------
• Naturally Gifted For unknown reasons, you have deeper reserves of magical energy than those around you. Perhaps you are descended from a family of powerful arcane casters, or maybe you believe this trait marks you as destined for magical greatness. Wherever the truth lies, you gain an additional use of one of your gnome magic spell-like abilities each day. This does not always have to be the same spell-like ability—one day you might use dancing lights twice, only to use the additional casting for speak with animals the next day.

• Zealot You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (religion) checks, and that skill is a class skill for you. As long as you remain completely faithful to the tenets of your faith (as determined by the GM), you never suffer from the Bleaching.

• Rostlander Your hardy nature grants you a +1 trait bonus on all Fortitude saves.

----------------------- Feats -----------------------
• Selective Channeling: When you channel energy, you can choose a number of targets in the area up to your Charisma modifier. These targets are not affected by your channeled energy. (3 targets may be selected not to receive channeling)

• Arcane Strike You can create a scroll of any spell that you know. Scribing a scroll takes 2 hours if its base price is 250 gp or less, otherwise scribing a scroll takes 1 day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. To scribe a scroll, you must use up raw materials costing half of this base price.

----------------------- Racial Abilities -----------------------

This racial trait replaces the defensive training and hatred racial Traits.

Ciana (chee-AHN-ah) was born to Jevyn Andu a veteran ranger and Loriceli Andu a priestess of Densa. Once Loriceli became pregnant the pair of gnomes settled in a small village several days travel from Restov. The villagers came to thank whatever gods they woshiped that the gnomes did settle as their skills were a great help and boon and help to those in the small region.

Ciana was a restless child always wanting to explore and see more. She grew up on her parents tales and those of the villagers of the swordlords. As she became older she heard the call of Desna and needed to travel. She left home as a young gnome, against her parents’ wishes and found herself in Restov. There was much to see and learn but also many dangers. It was not a month before she returned home, humbled by the experinces, but determined to learn more before she would set out again.

Ciana would travel with her parents through southern Brevoy where she was first taught and learned what it was to be a choosen of Desna. She latched on to that calling becoming a devout priestess. She also found that she had a knack for minor arcane magics and seemed to be inspire those around her with the stories she learned in her travels.

Once she was old enough Ciana left with her parents blessings and begane to wander and travel. She would use her skills to help those in need and her stories of old and new made sure that she never went without a roof over her head or food to fill her belly.

It was only recently that a call went forth offering a charter those who would explore and make safe the lands to south of Rostland, the Stolen Lands. Eager to help Ciana signed on with a motley crew of adventures who would see to just that.

Shi'Vatha, which in the Celestial tongue means 'Seeker of Evil', Warden Archon of the 7th Tome Zaphkiel was never a very good Warden Archon. Or rather, he was a very good Warden, and little escaped his notice.

But he was not stoic and stone faced like the other Warden Archons. He enjoyed listening to stories, he smiled at things the others found no more important than a stray breeze.

So when Iomedae came seeking an entity willing to form a bond with one of his chosen Paladins, not as a spirit companion, nor even an animal companion, but as a lowly summoned creature of little power, Shi'Vatha thought for only a few minutes before grinning at the god and stepping forward.

Iomedae was not sure of this choice, but it would be dishonorable to turn down one who had volunteered to give up so much. And so Shi'Vatha gave up the power he had and bonded to Casarina Methaila, a valiant Aasimar Summoner Paladin of Iomedae.

Shi'Vatha was not as strong as most eidelon's, due to his summoner's primary path being that of a Paladin, however, he was an excellent scout, his small feline form allowing him to sneak through places Casarina could not and ferret out information for her.

The two were quite the well known pair in the Church of Iomedae, and got many of the most dangerous assignments. They were well respected, even though the two had something of an odd couple feel to them, for Shi had a wicked sense of humor, while Casarina had no sense of humor at all.

The church respected the pair, none-the-less, for they were especially well known for tracking down dangerous artifacts and destroying them, wherever they might be hiding (or hiden!). However, they were also very good at investigating mysteries as well.

It was on one such assignment that the team met a horrible ending of their pact. Casarina had been tasked with investigating the sudden betrayal by a priest of his flock, and subsequent sacrificing of many of them to some unknown entity.

The pair did as they normally did, Shi'Vatha scouting ahead (although close enough not to lose his life force from being too far separated from his partner), and Casarina dispatching foes with the occasional assistance from Shi'Vatha.

Unfortunately, they fell into a trap devised by those who had turned the priest. The two were captured, and taken to an evil cave where blood was spilled in a horrifying magical rite. Casarina's mind was broken with fell magic, and her former good and right nature turned to chaos and evil. Casarina awakened and began to walk the path of an anti-paladin summoner.

The ritual did not go as expected though, for it had not been performed on someone who was both a Paladin and Summoner before. Casarina's tie to Shi'Vatha was rent assunder, both gaining a burning rune on their forehead as the bond was rent. Casarina could not summon a new eidelon, and Shi'Vatha could not return to his home.

Casarina was afraid to kill her former ally, for fear her ability to summon, or use summoner magic, would also be destroyed permanently. So she locked the catlike eidelon in a steel cage and tortured it when bored.

After several months of such treatment, amazingly, Shi'Vatha's shattered mind began to reform, the madness induced by the destruction of his bond receding, and his original good and upright nature returning. Finding himself suddenly able to control his own evolution, he waited for Casarina to depart on a murder spree, and evolved an upper torso, turning himself into a taur. Using his newfound hands and skills, he used a bent nail from the wooden floor of his cell to pick the lock and flee back to the church to tell them what had happened.

The church of Iomedae is nothing if not loyal, and Shi had shown such loyalty as few have for the church. However, his manners and mannerisms were not... exactly what they expected of either a paladin or a paladin's creature. And his newfound (and understandable) attitude of Antipathy toward Paladins was also something of an embarrassment.

So while the church is still very friendly toward Shi, and accords him a priest of Iomedae, he is not sought after often to go on missions. Indeed, while he's still accorded all priestly ranks and favor, Shi has officially gone on 'sabbatical'.

The church, wanting to do right by Shi'Vatha, has asked the Brevoy lords who are mounting an expedition to the Stolen Lands to employ Shi'Vatha in their group. They feel getting him away from church politics and the Paladin training grounds would be good for both the church and their loyal priest in absentia.

Special Abilities
--------------------
Darkvision (120 feet) You can see in the dark (black and white vision only).

Drow Immunities - Sleep You are immune to magic sleep effects.

Command Undead - As a standard action, you can use one of your uses of channel negative energy to enslave undead within 30 feet. Undead receive a Will save to negate the effect. The DC for this Will save is equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Charisma modifier. Undead that fail their saves fall under your control, obeying your commands to the best of their ability, as if under the effects of control undead. Intelligent undead receive a new saving throw each day to resist your command. You can control any number of undead, so long as their total Hit Dice do not exceed your cleric level. If you use channel energy in this way, it has no other effect (it does not heal or harm nearby creatures). If an undead creature is under the control of another creature, you must make an opposed Charisma check whenever your orders conflict.

Light Blindness (Ex) Bright light blinds for 1 rd, then dazzled as long as remain in it.

Poison Use (Ex) You do not risk poisoning yourself accidentally while poisoning a weapon.

Spell Resistance (7) You have Spell Resistance.

Alignment:
TN "(In character) I believe in protecting the welfare of all the peoples of the world. People tend to want to add terms like "good" or "evil" to people, but I personally think this just gets in the way. While many in the church do much great work, often times tenets or bureaucracy or restrictions can get in the way of this.

Not to say that these don't serve their purpose, but people from all walks of life can do good deeds. If we hold that one way of doing things is inherently better than the other without exception, then we not only deny ourselves from seeking out the best path, but we dismiss the great acts done by others.

But um, sorry, I'm getting off track. I seek to help all people, live fulfilled lives, and when the time comes as it does to all people, help them greet their deaths with peace instead of anxiety. Sometimes doing this requires doing things some find unsavory, but for the good of the people, it's a small price. Uh, does that explain it?"

Appearance:
Lineera stands a modest 5'8" and weighs in at 126lbs. With the typical brown hair and green eyes of her line, Lineera fails to stand out in the crowd with exception to her blithe smiles.

Her hair, which loose would fall to the small of her back, is generally tied up in elaborate, half up, braids. Every day, she baths thoroughly, applying perfumes and oils afterwards. In terms of clothing, she has alas taken to wearing clothing that leaves little to the imagination as one further step in her stubborn rebellion. Attempts to blend into society at large (which may well frown upon this) has led to her typically being covered head to ankle in a long, black, hooded cloak. But as not a full Robe, the loose fastenings tend to give the average viewer an understanding that not that much else lies beneath. On her right arm, she wears a wooden shield bound in leather and rimmed with steel with the markings of a skull, which she appears to have attempted to make smile.

Most would view Lineera as a quite attractive women, but as always, matters of taste can change this opinion substantially.

Lineera Vonnarc Example

Personality:
Chipper would be an exageration, but Lineera is generally surrounded in an infectious state of relaxed happiness. Those in her company usually find her be peaceful and uplifting to be around, assuming of course that they're not attempting to take advantage of her or find her beliefs abrassive.

Depending on who you ask, Lineera may be seen as either a pacifist or a constant aggressor. She is indeed equipped for and thoroughly prepared for a fight in most circumstances, but she typically chooses to try to avoid conflict verbally, and disarm her opponents should that fail. All that said, assuming she sees or hears of something she views as an afront to good folk, she'll go charging after whomever it is to attempt to give them a stern lecture (which then often leads to a fight). But even when delivering such a lecture, she typically comes off as friendly, and calming, as her demeanor seems to not let her do much besides.

Her religious views bring her into conflict with many due to her views on undeath, which views them as a way to honor the dead, by allowing them to continue to serve their living family and the good of mankind, as their souls enjoy the afterlife. As such, Lineera still views sentient undeath as an abomination.

Lineera typically has a hard time relating to people when it comes to her pechant for dressing and acting somewhat creepy. As a priestess shrouded in black robes, sometimes followed by a small throng of undead, and then acting like it's merely a nice day for a stroll, tends to unnerve people. Her attempts to not unnerve people have been an ongoing, but always failing.

Ten Minute Background:
Background Elements:

#1. Grew up underground in a large, primarily human city, far in the cold north of city. Populace was far more traditionally Chaotic Evil than Lineera. This society greatly disapproved of undeath despite this. This in large part led Lineera to her conclusion that undeath wasn't that bad by disassociation from where she grew up.

#2. Was born into a noble family in the underground before fleeing to pursue more selfless goals than her family. Wishes to keep heritage a secret.

#3. Used to belong to the church of Pharasma, but left on bad terms due to Lineera's lenient views on undeath. [Following depends on class taken, whether or not EoM is used, etc.] Currently, either follows Charon, or has gone rogue as a sorceror who practices necromancy/healing magicks, but still worships Pharasma personally. Has traveled the land, helping people whenever she can and attempts to spread her beliefs in this way.

#4. Lineera seeks companionship, as her upbringing, religious views, and traveling lead her to being near constantly alone, and even with company rarely forming close friendships.

#5. Lineera has a love of alchohol, though rarely does it delve into extreme excess, but she views it as another way to ease the suffering of people. Personally, she tends to prefer hard liquors, though will normally only drink one to two shots.

Goals:

#1. Lineera wishes to return home someday to convince people of the error of their ways. However, due to her disbelief that she could convince them of such, has distant dreams of one day returning as a conqueror... perhaps.

#2. Lineera wishes to marry someday, though hasn't generally given it much thought and only expects to actively pursue such matters in the distant future.

Player Goal:
#3. Personally, I want to see Lineera shake up the religious landscape with her beliefs. Maybe in the end she gets branded a heretic and gets burned at the stake (kinda hope not on that part), or maybe she manages to found her own religion. Or perhaps end up exchanging some serious words with Pharasma herself, maybe convincing her of her views, maybe not. All I know is that as a player, that's what I want to see for her.

Secrets:

#1. Lineera's departure from the church of Pharasma was only in part due to her conflicting beliefs. In truth her primary motive was to evade her family, who she's learned is looking for her.

#2. Despite actively pursuing and maintaining an altruistic lifestyle, Lineera always feels the pull of her ancestry to act in a purely selfish manner.

#3. Lineera's father, who is actively hunting her right now, is actually doing so to ally himself with her. As opposed to drag her back in chains or worse as she fears.

People:

#1. Relonar Vonarc, Lineera's father. Constantly looking for her, Lineera avoids him with all her being for fear of punishment or being taken back to her home city. Unbeknownst to her, he actually shares much of her morality, and used searching for her as an excuse to escape the Drowish city himself (and his wife).

#2. Legault Moore, Lineera's mentor in the church of Pharasma. Initially, Legault took this starry-eyed youth under his wing with her pleas to hide her from her family. But as the years came and went, this human priest eventually came to regret it, as Lineera's off-colored views of undeath came to reflect badly on him. While the church put up with her as a nuissance for some time, he was ultimately happy to see her go.

#3. Robert "Ol' Thatcher": A rustic and aging man from a small fishing and farming community, Ol' Thatcher served as both a village elder and general repairman for the community. Robert stepped in for Lineera as during her travels, he found her on the verge of being ran out of town for her necromancy. Willing to hear her offer, he made the inroads for her to help the community attending to recently injured and ill farmers with her magic.

In return, Robert provided her with food and board during her stay, and listened to her own philosophy on life and death. While he listened, and certainly appreciated what Lineera was attempting to do with necromancy, he still believed her to be naive and misguided about the practice, but the two parted on good terms.

Quirks:

#1. Lineera tends to bite her lip when she's nervous, but quickly stops if she notices someone looking at her. A result of her mother's stern discipline.

#2. Lineera loves spicy food, and while she'll typically (and poorly) attempt to hide her enthusiasm, she's willing to pay far more than the food is worth to obtain it.

#3. Lineera's afraid of thunder and lightning, due to never being exposed to it as a child, due to living underground. As such, she tends to shun mages who dabble or otherwise practice any form of lightning magic.

#4. Her view of necromancy as a good thing, makes her comfortable around corpses, regardless of the state of decomposition. The smell can still get to her though.

#5. Lineera remembers her departure from her home city. She'd left officially on a raid to capture slaves to help the city's (and more importantly, her family) economy. Once clear of the city, she rode with several others for days, until one night she stole one of their mounts and fled until it died from exhaustion. Then ran until she stumbled upon Legault, begging Sanctuary of him.

#6. Sometimes Lineera wishes she could return to the Temple of Pharasma that she came from, but the barely hidden smile that was on Legault's face the day she left tells her to just stay away.

Prose Background:
Lineera was born and raised in the city of Zirnakaynen of the Darklands as part of one of the great noble houses. She was trained in courtly manners and dances and the like, but was regardless the blight of her mother's eye. Lineera was one of those pesky children who always asked why. Why must slaves be treated poorly? Why must I learn to dance? Why do the Gods require sacrifice? Lineera eventually learned to keep her mouth shut as eventually every question that even began with the word "why" was met with a harsh retribution.

Life continued like this through Lineera's childhood and adolesence, until her constantly disappointed mother decided that she was to attend and assist a slaver raid to the surface world in hopes of toughening the girl up. Lineera quietly obeyed and followed the group to the surface until the group stopped to make camp after reaching the surface. Then, Lineera stole the nearest steed and ran. She ran, and ran, until the beast simply died out from under her, then she continued to flee on foot. This continued until she ran into Legault, a priest of Pharasma, whom she begged for help. Giving her sanctuary within the small, rural temple he lived and worked in, Lineera was reborn as a priestess of the goddess of life and death.

Lineera took to the life of a priestess with zeal, enthralled and loving a world in which she was allowed to live a peaceful, charitable life. Yet quickly, there arose a problem. Lineera's upbringing had led to her view of the world to be a warped and confused thing. In the culture of her upbringing, Necromancy had still been considered a lowly, base form of magic to be distained. Why bother killing your enemies to just raise them from death? Yet her rebellion from this culture quickly warped into her rebelling from this as well. Pharasma teaches that undeath is an abomonation, that all things must come to their natural end. Lineera agrees, with sentient undeath. But the lower forms of undeath are another matter in her mind. Why can the dead not allow their bodies to continue to serve the land they came from, while their souls enjoy whatever afterlife they are in?

This line of thinking lead to constant debate and discussion of the matter between Lineera and Legault, and any other priest or priestess who happened to hear her heretical philosophies. This continued for years until despite her pleasant demeanor and calming nature, she was despised by all her fellows in the temple life.

Eventually, a Drowish man who came for information clearly looking for Lineera. Weary of her presence, but commited to the promise of protection he had offered her, he turned the man away, professing no knowledge of her. When she learned of this the next day, Lineera realized the description given was that of her father. Lineera once more turned to the road, apologizing for leaving, but leaving to the general sigh of relief of the temple.

Once more on the road, Lineera fled north from Andoran, the location of the temple, through Druma, Kyonin, the River Kingdoms, the west into Ustalav. During this flight, Lineera still felt the calling. The temple was wrong, Pharasma did not despise all undeath, just the soulful kinds like liches. She could help the world with necromancy if the world would just listen. So a new goal besides flight took form during her journey: spread the teachings of Pharasma as they were meant to be taught.

Lineera's travels spreading her heretical teachings usually led to her being driven out of town. Nowadays, Lineera takes all the comforts of home with her, living on the road, but as a traveling noble would like to do. Her necromancy is largely self taught, learned by the whispers of... something. Many would claim this was learned by the dark powers, Lineera claims Pharasma herself is teaching her these things. Nonetheless, her skills are currently fairly weak in Necromancy at the moment.

Lineera's wandering travels have taken her to Brevoy, where she hopes in the charters offered of the Stolen Lands, that maybe she can find a home, ears to listen to her message, and the power to keep her safety, and maybe bring her enlightenment back home.

Atamar originally heralds from a land not of Brevoy where he lived with his father and mother. The land where he came from was one not like Brevoy where Half-Orcs are tolerated and he faced a great deal of bullying as a child. During one such bullying Atamar lashed out against the perpetrators and injured a young girl by accident leading to problems for him and his family in their local community, who were already wary of the young Half-Orc and his father. Deciding it was time to leave his parents had heard that the lands of the River Kingdoms were more tolerant of his kind and so they fled in the middle of the night via ship.

Once arriving in Brevoy, Atamar and his parents ended up in Rostland, the home of the Swordlords, where they managed to make a small life for themselves. Growing up in Rostland, Atamar find himself befriending and eventually joining in with worshipers of Desna. He enjoyed the freedom that the worshipers extolled and took it as a sort of Divine Providence that Desna must have been watching over him to end up in the company of such positive folk.

Atamar over the years became renown among his community for his devotion to Desna and for his highly skilled nature in surviving the wilderness of the land. He became an accomplished slayer of beasts, helping to stave off wild animals more than once, and has participated in numerous expeditions exploring the local land and helping to guide others.

Hearing of an expedition to help chart and reclaim the Stolen Lands, Atamar could not help by apply for this position as it seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity. He hopes to help the group he travels with survive the perils of the wilderness, both in their more animate forms and against the natural hazards. He also hopes that, if they are successful, he can use is claim to the land to help establish a strong following of Desna in the area, and to help keep the land free from slavery and persecution.

Atamar by nature is a cheery fellow who wishes nothing more than to make friends with those around him. By his troubled time as a youth, and his experience dealing with beasts, bandits and other unsavory beings from the Woodlands has taught him that often one must bring the force of fear into their opposition in order to make them see reason.

As a follower of Desna he takes great effort to uphold her ideals, deeply valuing freedom and the ability to explore new areas. He tries when he can to show others the great virtue of Desna, but will not force his ideology on others if they do not seem interested.

Atamar takes a interest in natural world around him, and the various beings that inhabit the various realms, and is a natural scholar of them, learning both for pleasure and for survival. While he does not enjoy the unnecessary killing of any living thing, he will not hesitate to do so if he believes that it is necessary.

Being an Inquisitor/Unchained Rogue Atamar is naturally at home in the "skills" department. Intimidate, Monster Identification, Survival, Perception, Disable Device, Sense Motive, Stealth (eventually) are all areas in which he excels at. He will also be somewhat proficient in things such as Climbing, Swimming, Spellcraft, Diplomacy, Bluff, Heal, and Acrobatics.

He uses his natural cunning in place of his lower charisma for Diplomacy, Bluff, and Intimidate.

Combat wise he focuses on the standard TWF that most Rogues tend to follow, trying to generate sneak attacks (both from Rogue and Inquisitor side) through flanks, flat-footed opponents, and charges. He also will be able to add the utility of Debilitating Injury and I might take him down the Power Attack-> Corrungun Smash-> Shatter Defenses route and mix that up with the skill unlock for Intimidate as a source for powerful debuffs.

Of course he can and will supplement both his skills and combat prowess through the spellcasting that Inquisitors get.

Ability Score Racial Traits: Human characters gain a +2 racial bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation to represent their varied nature.

Size: Humans are Medium creatures and thus receive no bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Base Speed: Humans have a base speed of 30 feet.

Languages: Humans begin play speaking Common. Humans with high Intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages, such as Druidic). See the Linguistics skill page for more information about these languages.

River Lander: Your hardy nature grants you a +1 trait bonus on all Fortitude saves.

Regional Recluse: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Survival checks and a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks made at night.

Denial of Fate: Once per day while you are below 0 hit points, at the start of your turn you can choose to stabilize without needing to succeed at a Constitution check.

1st Point-Blank Shot: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.

Precise Shot: You can shoot or throw ranged weapons at an opponent engaged in melee without taking the standard –4 penalty on your attack roll.

Weapon Focus (Longbow): You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon.

Change Shape (Su): All lycanthropes have three forms—a humanoid form, an animal form, and a hybrid form. Equipment does not meld with the new form between humanoid and hybrid form, but does between those forms and animal form. A natural lycanthrope can shift to any of its three alternate forms as a move-equivalent action. An afflicted lycanthrope can assume animal or hybrid form as a full-round action by making a DC 15 Constitution check, or humanoid form as a full-round action by making a DC 20 Constitution check. On nights when the full moon is visible, an afflicted lycanthrope gains a +5 morale bonus to Constitution checks made to assume animal or hybrid form, but a –5 penalty to Constitution checks made to assume humanoid form. An afflicted lycanthrope reverts to its humanoid form automatically with the next sunrise, or after 8 hours of rest, whichever comes first. A slain lycanthrope reverts to its humanoid form, although it remains dead.

Ability Scores: +2 Wis, –2 Cha in all forms; +2 Str, +2 Con in hybrid and animal forms. Lycanthropes have enhanced senses but are not fully in control of their emotions and animalistic urges. In addition to these adjustments to the base creature's stats, a lycanthrope's ability scores change when he assumes hybrid or animal form. In human form, the lycanthrope's ability scores are unchanged from the base creature's form. In animal and hybrid form, the lycanthrope's ability scores are the same as the base creature's or the base animal's, whichever ability score is higher.

Curse of Lycanthropy (Su): A natural lycanthrope's bite attack in animal or hybrid form infects a humanoid target with lycanthropy (Fortitude DC 15 negates). If the victim's size is not within one size category of the lycanthrope, this ability has no effect.

Lycanthropic Empathy (Ex): In any form, natural lycanthropes can communicate and empathize with animals related to their animal form. They can use Diplomacy to alter such an animal's attitude, and when so doing gain a +4 racial bonus on the check. Afflicted lycanthropes only gain this ability in animal or hybrid form.

Studied Target: A slayer can study an opponent he can see as a move action. The slayer then gains a +1 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks attempted against that opponent, and a +1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against it. The DCs of slayer class abilities against that opponent increase by 1. A slayer can only maintain these bonuses against one opponent at a time; these bonuses remain in effect until either the opponent is dead or the slayer studies a new target.

If a slayer deals sneak attack damage to a target, he can study that target as an immediate action, allowing him to apply his studied target bonuses against that target (including to the normal weapon damage roll).

At 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels, the bonuses on weapon attack and damage rolls, as well as the bonus to slayer ability DCs against a studied, target increase by 1. In addition, at each such interval, the slayer is able to maintain these bonuses against an additional studied target at the same time. The slayer may discard this connection to a studied target as a free action, allowing him to study another target in its place.

At 7th level, a slayer can study an opponent as a move or swift action.

Track: A slayer adds 1/2 his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.
