|[[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. | |||

|[[ | |[[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.' | ||

|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. | |Kerz lived many years as a paladin and mercenary, years which took a hard toll on them.

|[[ | |[[Duergar]] | ||
|[[ | |[[Warlock]] | ||
|[[ | |[[Charlatan]] | ||

| Line 73: | Line 67: | ||
|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. | |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.

|[[ | |[[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. | ||

|[[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. | |||

|[[ | |[[Seldarine 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. | ||
