• Harrow Chosen: Since meeting Rylana you have been drawn to the mysteries surrounding harrow and her harrow deck. Benefit: You begin play with your family's heirloom harrow deck. If you use this specific harrow deck as an additional focus component when you cast a divination spell, your caster level is treated as being 2 levels higher. Additionally, twice per week, you can spend 10 minutes consulting this harrow deck on a particular action to gain the effects of the spell augury as a spellcaster of your character level. No one other than you gains these benefits from this harrow deck. If your harrow deck is destroyed, it cannot be replaced. However, by returning to your family, paying 300 gp on materials, and spending 1 week immersed in the songs and stories of your people, you can create a new harrow deck that grants half the benefits of the lost heirloom. • Rostlander Your hardy nature grants you a +1 trait bonus on all Fortitude saves. ----------------------- Feats -----------------------
• Arcane Strike As a swift action, you can imbue your weapons with a fraction of your power. For 1 round, your weapons deal +1 damage and are treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

----------------------- Description ----------------------- Race: Gnome
----------------------- Background ----------------------- Ciana grew up in Sweetwater, a small village of a dozen families, some 3-5 days travel from Restov. She was born to Jevyn Andu a veteran ranger and Loriceli Andu a priestess of Densa. Like many of the Andu family they were followers of Desna and enjoyed traveling the roads of Golarion. The pair only settled when Lorciceli became pregnant with Ciana. In the years since it has been to the boon of Sweetwater and the surrounding villages to have a skilled woodsman and priestess in their midst. Ciana was a restless child always exploring and trying to understand more of the world around her. Growing up among human children almost always made Ciana the smallest but she always made up for it in being quick of action and wit. She also came to her gnomish magics early in life and would use them to her advantage. Aging slower also meant that the young gnome saw her child playmates growup. Many would start families of their own while a few would leave Sweetwater to find their lives elsewhere. It is the last part that would often be the source of friction between Ciana and her parents. She heard the call of Desna and wanted to see more beyond the small village. Her mother, the more patience of her parents would attempt to involve her daughter in her clerical activities but to Ciana that was not enough. Shortly after turning thirty-five Ciana left home and followed the road to Restov. While the wonder of such a city was exciting she had not considered the dangers that might lurk there. A little more than a week after arriving was the young gnome cornered by several young men, petty thugs looking to take advantage of someone much smaller and experienced then them. Fortunately for Ciana an elderly Varisian interceded and drove the trio of men off and took her in. Rylana offered the young runaway much more than she perhaps deserved but as the gods would have it Rylana was an ex-jongleur who also followed of Desna. These days she practiced the art of Harrow reading. It was the cards that day said that she should go out that morning to render help to one that was helpless. The two were a good match for one another. Ciana would learn much of a jongleur’s ways and even picked up on Harrow reading. But it was being so young and longing for home that would have the young gnome return home a year later. Learning what she did she returned home humbled by only a small part of the world that she saw and experienced. She showed much remorse for her actions and having worried not only her parents it seemed but others of Sweetwater. She took her experiences to heart and tried to learn from her parents and those around her and what they could show her before she would attempt to leave again. Once she was old enough Ciana left with her parents’ blessings and began 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. Ciana did wander for time staying to those places that were considered safe. The experiences of larger cities helds its appeal, but the smaller villagers were where she felt most at home with folk living simpler lives. On one of her return trips through Restov she learned through her contacts that Rylana had passed and had left Ciana her prized Harrow deck and a few minor items. It saddened the gnomish woman that a mentor and friend had passed, but what was, was. She continued her travels her Harrow deck always with her. 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. |
