Player Characters

Armus Ismael

Description: Armus is a human male in his late 20s of average build with darks eyes and hair.  He typically wears a long, well traveled leather coat, underneath which hangs a fine rapier of elven make and a brace of daggers.  Although it is rarely seen, Armus wears a golden wedding ring on a chain around his neck at all times.  He is well known in the village as a distinguished scholar and a skilled swordsman and is well liked, especially by his former students.

Known History:  Originally a clockmaker in Sodengren, Armus moved to Taylor's Vine approximately 5 years ago, shortly after the death of his wife.  He lost all specific memories of her death immediately afterwards and has only recently learned that she was murdered by a mysterious fey noble.  Until a month ago he served as the village schoolmaster, a position of some prestige due to the significance attached to Elizar in the village.  This position is also loosely affiliated with the temple of Elizar, and through this association Armus has been granted a somewhat vague status within the church hierarchy.

Brother Jacob:

Description: human male, 19 years old, (tall) with brown eyes and hair.  Devout worshipper of Cioreh and committed to fighting evil head on wherever it exists.  Carries a staff that can be used as a bow.

Known History:  A Shepherd who joined the Order of Fergus.  Jacob was recently invested as a full brother of the order by his mentor, Brother Jesse.

El-Hanan:

Description: A lean unassuming man, with clear grey eyes, angular features and a shaven head. Member of an adventuring ascetic order of Cioreh. In his late twenties at least, he's often dressed in the maroon robes of his order, with his belt-clasp a symbol of the Goddess of Heroism.

Known History:  Served as a bodyguard and aide to the Baron for many years, and has recently been assigned to be his personal representative  to Taylor's Vine for the duration of the current troubles with the fey. He belongs to the Order of Canvar, also known as the Order of the Empty Hand, which is a wandering order dedicated to protection of the common man.

Eric Greyhold:

Description: human male typically accompanied by a pet raven, Ink, and often seen playing with a small glass orb.  Possesses a unique and annoying manner that either endears him to his audience or irritates them.  Everyone has their own opinion of Eric, but no consensus on him can be reached (except by the children of the village, who love him).

Known History: Son of a wealthy family to the North and a cousin of Armus Izmael (his mother was the sister of Armus' father), Eric appears to have acquired his powers of spirit magic from the spirits of his ancestors, which came to him during a traumatic boyhood accident.  Eric came to Taylor's Vine unexpectedly.  He bought the vineyard of the Framlinghams, a local family in financial trouble, and has allowed them to remain in the house and work the vineyard.  He is a member of the village council.
