Meet the Eberron Heroes (First Four)

   Here ye, here ye, o' adventurers young and old - the campaign has started and its going to be bold. We begin with eight young souls just burgeoning with excitement as their naming day is coming... the day when the town will recognize them as an adult and when they believe the world will finally treat them with the respect they deserve.
   Spring has given way to summer, and school is still in session for those that are training under their meisters. The smell of the river is heavy with humidity as the heat rises, and the crops are doing well - the spring crops just in. We now look at all things growing...including a specific eight of renown and potential.

We will start with the one born of this month, the one affectionately known as the music man, Kass Argyle. Noble born with a sister and brother already named (the sister being a prodigy and only 12), he has a lot to live up to both to his parents point of view and his own. Having studied every "usual" type of magic in town, he found that his magic only worked with music...and so he snuck off to learn at the theatre.

We then move to the forest, in the druid's grove just north of Northtown. The first is a meek and humble half-elf druid of the sect, so afraid of fire that she has substituted ice for all of his fire spells, Sumati. This has nothing to do with the fact that on her day of birth the plane of ice was co-tangent and highly influential...nothing at all *grin*.

Also in the forest is a calm, cool, and collected goth-looking human - Tattooed, haunted both mentally and spiritually, and a loner by choice that goes by the name of Angie Sylvester. Having accidentally killed her brother in a barn fire when her powers first came to be, she eschews fire as much as people. Death became her, and she studied it with intent while being sheparded by the druids of the grove. Now talking with her spirit guide for help on occasion she truly feels the magic that is her birthright is now under her control and it is time to explore the world.

Last but not the least of these four would be the literal outsider of the group, Bernard the golden boy. Luck follows him but unfortunately it works for him, not for everyone around him. His luck may harm his ego, but he always seems to be able to come out of tough scrapes smelling like a rose. Adopted by a shepard that lives on the edge of town, he had been learning how to work with the sheep, how to hunt wolves, and how to track the wandering flock.


These four live in Northtown, in Moundstop - the other four live in Southtown, and you will meet them in the next posting.
