About Sir Bastion
Background:
I am Sir Bastion, Paladin of Iomedea, Member of the Order of the Land, Scion of the Blackwolves of Sarkoris, Knight of the Fifth Crusade, Recipient of the Righteous Medal of Command and the Righteous Medal of Clarity.
Sir Bastion is descended from a displaced Kellid tribe, that withdrew form Sarkoris shortly after the failed First Crusade. The tribal god caller had brought the tribe through Ustalav and settled in what would become the nation of Lastwall. For the next 140 years, the tribe would slowly go from a group that relied on the teaching and advise of only their god callers, to a tribe that also dedicated themselves to the teaching of Iomedae and the defence of the land from the Orcs of the Hold of Belkzen.
Sir Bastion began his training as a combat healer squire with the cavaliers of the Order of the Land, a group dedicated to the protection of Lastwall and the peoples that inhabit the rurla areas between the few urban centers. When the call for the Fifth Crusade was raised, squires were given the opportunity to earn their spurs and become full cavaliers of the Order or dedicate themselves to the service of Iomedae, the Orders Patron. Sir Bastion spent 30 days in vigil to his goddess, swearing oaths of obedience and honour known only to Iomedae and himself.
While travelling to join the Fifth Crusade, Sir Bastion journeyed through the county of Odranto in Ustalav. Passing under the shadow of the dreaded Castle Kronquist, he was able to get his first look of his ancestral homeland. The utter destruction of the land blinded him with such sorrow and anguish. Iomedae took pity on him, and limited his vision so that such a vast sight of destruction was forever denied her servant.
Appearance:
Sir Bastion stand just over 6 feet, with a lean frame. With dark brown hair and dark red skin tone. Dressed in scale mail with heavy furs over his shoulders, he holds a heavy wooden shield on his left arm. At his side are his two favoured weapons, his cold iron longsword made of an antiquated style reminiscent of Sarkoris make, and a pit bull named Jokum at his side. The only decorations you see on him is a silver holy symbol of Iomedae and a set of silver spurs.
Personality:
Sir Bastion has a quick to action personality. He will gather what information he feels is sufficient to come to a conclusion and then will act on that conclusion. This has lead him to often make the wrong decision, while having the best intentions.
(example: On a dock with numerous coils of rope or bouyes, Sir Bastion will jump on the water with full armour on to save a person from drowning.)
While not bullheaded, he will listen to reason and can be persuaded to change his course of action from time to time. He firmly believes that all can be redeemed if shown the correct way to act and live. He believes it is better to ask for forgiveness then to wait for permission.
Desires/Motivation:
Restore the Empire of Sarkoris to the Kellid people. Reclaim ancestral lands south of what is now known as the Forest of Embers.
Oaths and Vows of Service:
I will learn the weight of my sword. Without my heart to guide it, it is worthless—my strength is not in my sword, but in my heart. If I lose my sword, I have lost a tool. If I betray my heart, I have died.
I will have faith in the Inheritor. I will channel your strength through my body. I will shine in your legion, and I will not tarnish your glory through base actions.
I am the first into battle, and the last to leave it.
I will not be taken prisoner by my free will. I will not surrender those under my command.
I will never abandon a companion, though I will honour sacrifice freely given.
I will guard the honour of my fellows, both in thought and deed, and I will have faith in them.
When in doubt, I may force my enemies to surrender, but I am responsible for their lives.
I will never refuse a challenge from an equal. I will give honour to worthy enemies, and contempt to the rest.
I will suffer death before dishonour.
I will be temperate in my actions and moderate in my behaviour. I will strive to emulate your perfection.
I will be ever vigilant for malicious fiendish insurgence into this world and face it with swift and unwavering defiance.
I will never suffer an evil outsider to live if it is in my power to destroy it. I will banish fiends I cannot kill and purge the evil from those possessed by fiends.

Yaniel Manuscript excerpt
--------------------
Destructive and prolific, demons come from the Abyss. They temper their evil with a devotion to chaos that makes them unpredictable and deadly as well as cruel.
Alignment types Chaos and Evil. Get Prot from Chaos and Prot from Evil
All demons are exceptionally tough. Most demons, especially more powerful ones, have the ability to shrug off wounds earned through combat, though weapons forged from cold iron and those that are imbued with the power of good can bypass this fiendish protection.
Overcome DR with Special Material Cold Iron. Spells or Enchantments with Good descriptor
Demons are immune to electricity and poison, and are highly resistant to fire, cold, and acid (though some have specialized immunities that break these general standards).
Get protections vs electricity and poison first, then fire, cold and acid. Sonic and force are good damage types.
Some demons are exceptionally durable against magic, and frequently spells targeting them will fail unless cast by a potent source. This protection varies from demon to demon, but those fighting the more powerful fiends would do well to utilize spells that bypass this magical resistance.
Get Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration
Demons can summon others of their kind to aid them in slaking their thirst for destruction. They can communicate with such allies in the Abyssal tongue, as well as in Celestial and Draconic. Many demons can even speak directly into one’s mind through the use of telepathy. This ability typically extends to 100 feet or so, though more potent demons can speak into your mind from great distances.
Learn Abyssal, Celestial and Draconic to understand them in combat. Archtype Oathbound, Oath Against Feinds
Intrinsically tied to chaos and evil, these creatures are able to focus this inherent connection into their weapons. A demon’s claws, teeth, and dangerous appendages, as well as any weapon the fiend wields, strike more viciously against creatures weak to evil and chaotic energies.
Keep these demonic standards in mind when fighting against the Abyssal shadow that falls over our realm. Use this knowledge to guide your lade and trust in the Inheritor to guide your heart. We will endure!
