[DF Project] Super-adventure: The Mists of Dread

[ajardoor]

4.6 Grand Druid Orel Prescott

Quote: "Some that die, deserve life. Some that live, deserve death."

Background: Orel Prescott was born into a nomad caravan and learned the ways of Nature young. Since first becoming a full druid, he has cleansed several woodlands of demonic taint. Hearing rumors of similar corruption in Mistvale, he made the journey to the city-state along with his circle and faerie allies.

Description: Orel Prescott always goes bare foot and rarely wears heavy clothing outside winter. His grey hair is scraggily and combed-over, with watery blue eyes and weathered leathery skin that makes him look even older than his sixty-something years.

Personality: Sadder, but wiser. Much of his rough life has shaped into humbleness and unsubtity. It's easy to write him off as passive, until you see the harsh purity of the way he strangles a chicken, slits a sow's throat, or commands living plants to tear apart a devil's torso. The wilderness has taught him about death just as much as it has about life.

4.7 Mistvale Overlord Carmine Aesop

Quote: "As long as Mistvale endures, I will endure!!"

Background: Born and raised in Mistvale, Carmine Aesop wrestled command of the city-state from the grand-father of a rich noble family through an intensely complex manipulation of the precious metals markets. He has run City Hall with competence and style - but the noble families are starting to influence the political situation more and more, despite his efforts.

Description: The Overlord of Mistvale dresses in expensive white suits and an iconic trilby hat. Completely bald and with icy blue eyes that stare into your very soul, few can stand being on the recieving end of his anger for long.

4.8 Nyx, Exarch of Aradia

Quote: "Come closer, I need to talk to you."

Background: Nyx doesn't remember much of her life before her ascending to the position of Exarch. She was a paladin of Aradia, the Goddess of Primordial Night...and that's about it. Now she serves as the eyes and ears of Aradia, doing her best to spread the doctrine of the Moonlight Mistress. Sensing troubling disturbances in Aradia's domain in Mistvale, Nyx plans to discretely recruit adventuring parties to investigate the Dark World incursions.

Description: Nyx tries to keep her form hidden in shadow at all times. She's a pale asian woman, about mid-twenties or so, dark eyes and pitch black hair. That's about it.

Personality: A mystery wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in an invisibility cloak.

Notable Traits: Nyx is a Greater Neutral Divine Servitor, with the elements of Darkness, Deception and Wisdom.
