Sebastian Mornthune

Sebastian grew up a in a minor noble family in the city of Thultanthar better known as the City of Shade. With his family's long exile in the plane of shadow (shadowfell) they became more than just human, they became Shades, true denizens of the plane. Shades were an offshoot of humanity, people who had adapted to living in the shadow over several generations.

During Sebastian's adolescence he had no need for want. He had all the money he needed and lorded over his own personal slaves that were assigned to him by his father. Of course all Shadovar must serve the empire in some capacity, his family determined that Sebastian would make an excellent acolyte to the temple of Shar.

Sebastian took to the training of Shar with zeal. He realized that Shar would lead him to great knowledge, which he would horde and then use to gain power amongst his fellow Shadovar. When his training was nearly complete he was assigned to survey team in the Neverwinter Woods far from Thultanthar. Sebastian at first was dismayed at a posting so far from the capitol. How would he gain power in some back woods digging up old junk. He was certain he was sent by his superiors because they were jealous of his talent.So be it he thought, he would gather his strength and plot their downfall for a later time. After all the teachings of Shar taught patience when hatching a plot. And besides he might find something useful in the old ruins they were searching in.

It did not take long for the young Sebastian to find something. However it was no great item of arcane power it was simply a book. A book called The Way of the Binder. Curious to its contents and to see if it held any great secrets, the young Sebastian took the book back to his quarters. He began studying the book in earnest, what he found amazed him, it was a book about Oghma the god of Knowledge. Oghma taught that knowledge should be shared and no idea squelched. Every man and woman should have their say when making a plan. To Sebastian it was a profound way of thinking, he had been drilled to horde knowledge and lord over your underlings. At first he put the book down in rejection, for Shar was the true path to glory, not some some old god who willing give away his knowledge. However over the next few weeks he found himself going back the book and rereading passages. He knew the actions his people took were not right, they only sought to rule and conquer. They had no interest in fairness only power. All others were to serve.

After a few more weeks of soul searching Sebastian slipped out of camp and made his way to the City of Neverwinter. There perhaps he could start his life over and spread the world of the Binder. He also hoped that his fellow Shadovar never found him for his punishment would be painful indeed.

Jade, the daughter of Celine and Bashdir Neroith, was spending almost her entire life in the forests. She learned a lot about the beauty of nature when she was a little girl and that it is important to live with it instead of destroying. Not even a bear attack that left a huge claw scar on her back changed her way of thinking, it rather reminded her of respecting the animals that live in the wilderness. Her mother always taught her the way of Melora and her father the way of the bow to be able to stay alive on her own or even defend herself when they are not around.

When she grew older her parents took her with them into the cities sometimes, but she did not like them much since they are crowded and loud, which made her feel uncomfortable. Jade did not understand how people could live behind those grey barriers that she almost considered a cage of stones. Nevertheless, she did make some friends there and took them out into the forests from time to time to show them the beauty of the way she was living. Jade is kinda awkward in meeting new people still, simply not used to the rules and traditions of society.

Recently she started helping people in the villages and cities around her. She saw the miserable places that are the home of poverty and illness. Jade heard about a city that is bigger than her imagination can even think of, Neverwinter. Now she headed off, out of her safe region and away from her beloved parents, to seek greater ways to help and clear the world from the evil.
