Name: Captain Claw Gender: Male Species: Unknown Wolf-person Profile:Captain Claw's youth is shrouded in mystery. Some theorize he was born a Human, but cursed to be half-Wolf for the rest of his life. Others say he is the last of a race of Wolf-people called Lupens. Shunned by the majority, he found acceptance in the lawless underbelly of Roawia. His real name is unknown, all of the thieves he worked with called him "Wolf" or "Wolfie." He eventually acquired his own ship, and became the Captain of a crew of misfits like him. At some point in his adventures, he used a claw-like weapon to defeat an adversary, hence the "Claw" in his name. Captain Claw and his crew were once commissioned by Loreesi legend, Mark of Falworth, to attack the coast of Lenfald.
The Nations of Roawia all have champions fighting for honor, wealth and their cause. From the mountains of the north to the swamps of the south, battles are fought and adventures are had by these champions. Many of these champions are practically legends in their own right. Their origins and achievements are told around campfires by common folk everywhere.

Name: Gavin of Lockwood Gender: MaleSpecies: HumanProfile/ History: An Outlaw from the mountainous regions of Roawia, Gavin of Lockwood was once a baron of Loreos. But when he began practicing magic for the sole purpose of protecting his kingdom, the king of Loreos banished him. Gavin and the king were great friends, but the king wouldn't compromise his power and laws and allow a mage in his kingdom. Gavin became an Outlaw, a man who could be killed by anyone at any time. Yet Gavin didn't resent the king's decision to banish him but rather, since he fully understood why he was outcast, he respected the king even more and hoped that a time would come when he could go back to the king's service. He didn't like bandits or thieves, since Gavin was raised as a God-fearing man. So he struck out on his own, hoping to find other less evil Outlaws. For the present, he contented himself with anonymously helping farmers kill their wild animals like wolves and bears. He wasn't an evil mage, but people stayed away from him generally, since a person who holds the power of their death or destruction in their hands is not someone to be trifled with. Since becoming an Outlaw, Gavin of Lockwood has gathered a band of not-so-evil Outlaws. Adventures were had and war wounds were both taken and dealt out. In general, life as an Outlaw in this mage's band was an enjoyable one.

Name: Kylharn (full name: Kyl'winirt'harnfirs Mul-kri'anner) Gender: Male Species: Wood Elf Profile/History: Kylharn hails from an Elven village in the great forests of Lenfald. Kylharn left Lenfald several years ago to travel to the unclaimed wilderness to the south in order to practice alchemy and healing magic without being persecuted for witchcraft by the Human rulers of his homeland. For many months Kylharn was based in an abandoned watchtower, studying alchemy and trading the results in nearby settlements. On one such trade journey, his wares were seized by the queen's troops. Recognizing the Queen as a threat to the well-being of the denizens of Roawia, Kylharn gathered his remaining belongings and returned the the woodlands of Lenfald. Joining in with a group of renegade Elves, Kylharn is preparing for when the time comes to take the fight to the queen

Name: General Mythrog Gender: Male Species: Troll Faction: Outlaws Not much is known about General Mythrog. He and his kinsmen were created centuries ago by a wizard, who’s name has been long forgotten. It is rumored that Mythrog was the first created. Because they were created by magic, this “breed” of troll is stronger and smarter. (the troops not by much on the latter.) As a rule, trolls aren’t very skilled, but the Blood legion, named after their dark red cloaks, is one exception, a legion made of the most skilled trolls, the Blood legion is the elite force of the trolls. The second exception is Mythrog’s officer corps, another is Mythrog himself, the most skilled and dangerous troll. Nobody has come even close to defeating him, he is deadly with almost any weapon, but prefers his two double-bladed axes. The trolls live deep within the Sinking Basin. They are very territorial, and unless Mythrog deems you worthy, they refuse to give-up even a foot of ground.

LoR - Erathor Pridenar by Erathor Pridenar of Loreos, on Flickr Name: Erathor Pridenar Gender: Male Species: Human Faction: Loreos Profile/History: Erathor Pridenar is the lord of Sarenhold, a growing city in the plains of Loreos. Since his father was killed he has ruled over the city, with an ever-growing burden of responsibility on his shoulders. His sword, Shard, named after an adventure in Garheim, is deadly in his rough hands, and it has been used to great effect in the many battles he has been involved in. Erathor's part in The War of Roawian Succession gained the attention of Prince Jarius, and he was finally granted his lord father's title. Since then he has led the city with the help of his wife, Lady Eleanor, and his friend Allaeus, both of whom have been invaluable to him in the many trials he has had to face. The Lion-Born, Sarenhold's elite force of warriors, was formed by Erathor, not long before he rescued Allaeus from Galainir's dungeons after she turned on those attending her coronation. Since then, Erathor has been on the run, finally returning to Sarenhold and living under a false identity, with the name of Mattan Longshore. Always preparing for the inevitable war with Galainir, the time has now come for him to take up arms once again and fight for his country, for the Glory of Loreos!

Name: Tabytha Alantari Gender: Female Profile:Tabytha Alantari is a 10 year old girl that lives in Belannon Keep located by Mikithdar Lake. She is the daughter of Lord Ulfredd and Lady Elanora Alantari. Tabytha is a smart, independent and adventurous character with a fiery temper. She is best friends with her father’s Page Boy Eglarin ‘Egg’ Vargolas who is 11 years old. They have lots of fun and regularly go on adventures together. However Egg is of the firm belief that she being 10 years old and Lord Ulfredd’s daughter requires his protection and guidance when she is outside of the keep. In reality it is actually Tabytha who time and time again either prevents imminent disaster or rescues Egg from danger. This sometimes results in some heated disputes between the two. To Egg this was just a patch of bad luck. Egg is also believes his parents misspelt his name and he is Elgarin and not Eglarin and doesn’t like his Egg nickname. He also believes he is Lord Ulfredd’s Squire and not his Page Boy. Tabytha humours him and helps Egg out of his usual dilemmas on a daily basis and keeps her smiling. Note: This character replaces Ranyx Hökberg who was executed by the Queens men for High Treason.

Name: Haydar KhaldoonGender: MaleSpecies: HumanFaction: LoreosHaydar is the second son of a desert tribe chieftain and grew up in one of the harshest parts of Loreos. As his older brother assumed the leadership of the tribe, Haydar left the tribe in search for adventure. He was a mercenary for many years but finally put down his sword for good and invested his mercenary gold into starting a new life as a trader. Many years in the cities of Loreos has made him adopt many of the mainstream Loreesi customs, but he still considers the desert to be his true home. Recent events have forced Haydar to rethink his retirement. He is now taking up the sword once again and is rallying his old comrades to fight for the freedom of Loreos, and for the prospect of vast amounts of gold of course!

His parents, Gasmand and Elise Silver, died in an outlaw attack to Oakenfort, from which Gurmand could only escape alive with the help of Lord Hernan Oaken. After the inciddent, Gurmand was adopted by Lord Hernan, and received a nobleman education, being knighted when he was 16, and so on adopting the name 'Oaken' His poor fighting abilities have never made him a warrior, but his intelligence and cunning have always compensated it when necessary. With the time, Gurmand assumed the post of oversser at Oakenfort, awnsering only to Lord Hernan himself.

Mark of Falworth by Mark of Falworth. Faction: Loreos Name: Mark of Falworth Gender: Male Species: Epic Human Profile: (Old CIC from years ago) Mark of Falworth is a young noble of Loreos, and a direct descendant of Prince Lorean. He was born near the border of Lenfald, but was raised in the harshest of deserts. He has grown accustomed to the dry heat, and the desert winds against his face. Continually training and raising new troops, he is a diligent leader. Though he hopes for peace, he also realizes that war must come soon, and though he is loyal to the King, he feels he must strike a blow for the defense of the desert. The blow, when it comes, will be a powerful one. His lands are vast, and his retainers... numberless. He will lead them to glory... for the glory of Loreos!
