Sir Drystan Goldenflame's page

Sir Drystan is a the son and right hand of Ragathiel, the Empyreal Lord of Righteous Vengeance. He was born to Ragathiel's wife, a redeemed fire giantess paladin, and raised in his father's fortress on the first layer of heaven. Other boys play with toys, but Drystan was carrying his father's banner, then fighting at his side, before he hit puberty; a must when one is raised in a steel fortress at the foot of Heaven's mount, a position repeatedly assailed by evil and chaos throughout his upbringing. As a young adult he joined his father's most fervent disciples, the Crimson Templars, where he excelled, rising rapidly (but on his own merits) to command. Eventually he became his father's preferred troubleshooter, dispatched to many wars on many planes to turn the tide of evil, rescue the forces of good, and prech his father's special brand of honor; chivalry, duty, and vengeance. Recently he was chosen by a council of Empyreal Lords to take up heaven's seat on Hyraeatan's Circle of Wardens. While a prestigious role, and one that shows the confidence his father's peers have in him, he can't help but wonder if some celestial politics are at play here, perhaps an effort to limit his father's power by sending away his most faithful and capable servant.

Sir Drystan is enormous, even for a fire giant. He is a towering pillar, a beacon of golden-white flame, wearing mithral plate armor, borne aloft on six wings of golden fire, bearing a huge Sacred Avenger and a whip formed from his of flame, he cuts an unmistakeable figure.

Sir Drystan is a multifaceted being. He is a champion of good and the law. He can be a merciful judge when called upon, but a merciless terror on the battlefield, striking foes down without a hesitation or doubt. He is wrath personified, but far from some mindless barbarian.
