Hirelings

Name	Race	Class	Background	Backstory
Eldra Luthrinn	Gold Dwarf	Barbarian	Outlander	Eldra Luthrinn, slayer of people, monsters, and cups of sweet pear tea, was shown a watery grave when hunting Absolutists in the valleys of Chionthar.
Brinna Brightsong	Lightfoot Halfling	Bard	Entertainer	Brinna Brightsong's bawdy crooning was silenced by an Absolute bloodbutcher after a controversial performance in a Triel tavern.
Zenith Feur'sel	High Elf	Cleric	Acolyte	Zenith, once an optimistic Evereskan Graycloak, journeyed to Faerun in search of a new sunrise. An Absolute warband proved his dour father right: Zenith was doomed!
Danton	Mephistopheles Tiefling	Druid	Folk Hero	Danton was a refined druid and rearer of peacocks - until he thought transforming into one would help him escape Absolutist marauders. He was wrong.
Varanna Sunblossom	Wood Half-Elf	Fighter	Soldier	Once a battle-worn veteran fighting for the Absolute, Varanna learnt that loyalty to the would-be god did not protect you from the murderous whims of jealous generals.
Sina'zith	Githyanki	Monk	Outlander	Sina'zith's monastic preferences marked her a misfit among her kin - as did the illithid tadpole an Absolutist forced into her mind. For this, the githyanki slew her as an aberration.
Kerz	Half-Orc	Paladin	Noble	Kerz lived many years as a paladin and mercenary, years which took a hard toll on them. Befriending a group of pleasant ogres, they laid down their weapon and taught a rudimentary etiquette class, before the ogres were attacked one night, and Kerz once more took up their steel.
Ver'yll Wenkiir	Lolth-Sworn Drow	Ranger	Criminal	Ver'yll spent his twilights scribbling odes to leafy canopies, bushels, and the merits of the noble hedgehog. When he refused to join the Absolute, its forces tore his forest and body apart.
Maddala Deadeye	Human	Rogue	Urchin	Madalla's blindness was cured by another True Soul passing through her village - so they could watch it being burnt to the ground around them. Such was the price of refusing the Absolute.
Jacelyn	High Half-Elf	Sorcerer	Guild Artisan	Jacelyn was born a sorcerer, the seventh son of a seventh son. The agent of the Absolute that killed him knew this, and is rumored to have remarked, 'Probably should've left it at six.'
Kree Derryck	Duergar	Warlock	Charlatan	Kree's penchant for killing folk with a mere whisper was prized in the Absolute's ranks, but the utter devotion to her patron was met with lethal disapproval.
Sir Fuzzalump	Rock Gnome	Wizard	Sage	Sir Fuzzalump was much mocked among his playful kind for his dour demeanor and single-minded devotion to the magical investigation of cave moss. He claims not to have giggled in over a decade, and has never frolicked.
