Race: Shadar-Kai

Class: Life Domain Cleric of The Raven Queen

Célia has already been on the road for months by the time she decided to join up with the Baron's Caravan, offering her services as a doctor and healer first and foremost. It was her belief that all living beings should be allowed to live out their natural life to it's fullest, free from premature death or disease, such that her queen may find their memories fulfilling. So her motivations weren't entirely selfless, but the many souls she's saved thus far weren't complaining.

Her next stop was the town of Allness, due south of where the Tournament of Champions was being held, rumour had it a plague ravaged the town and considering the caravan would be heading that way, Célia reasoned she'd join them halfway then depart again when they'd reached their destination. That would be quickest, and after all, every caravan can make use of a doctor.

Class: Bard, College of Swords

Word of the Tournament of Champions seemed to be all anyone is the small town of Salen could talk about as of recent. It was supposedly a huge event said to draw in folk from even the most remote corners of the globe, and the winners, it was said they'd become heroes. Caz however had a slightly less grandiose ideas in mind when it came to the part he'd play in the tournament.

You see, only a few nights ago, Caz had his lute smashed up by a bunch of rowdy drunks at the local inn where he was performing. Naturally the first thing to do after such a harrowing event would be to purchase a new one, unfortunately the price of high quality instruments is staggering and while Caz was able to find a replacement, it left him with an entirely empty purse.

So the tournament would be the perfect opportunity to make a fortune, not only by performing for the crowds there, but by being one of the first to compose a ballad about the winners. The only problem now was getting there, conventional means of transport would be far too expensive, especially considering how far south the tournament was being held. Incidentally, rumours reached Salen of a baron rounding people up for that exact journey.

This seemed entirely too convenient, but you know what they say about not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Caz figured he'd hitch a ride on one of the wagons in exchange for his services free of charge and the rest would be history. All that's left now is to pack for the long trip south. The Tournament of Champions is on the horizon!

An elusive group of warriors, necromancers and all-out scoundrels, the snow elves of the Val'Athra mountain range are famed for their brutality. Little is known about their enigmatic society save for the fact that they practice necromancy openly and meet any outsiders with extreme aggression. It came as a surprise then when a group calling themselves the "Scions" entered into the Tournament of Champions. While they've kept their reasons for entering the tournament obscure, many participants meet them with speculation and arguably deserved prejudice.
