Cirdastan was founded by a group adventures including
Rild of Rookroost also know as the Dread Barbarian Rild and eventually the Dread Paladin Rild,
Rild is tall, young, lean and well muscled; in fact he is the proverbial Suel poster child with his pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes. He was born and raised in the Bandit kingdoms, hence his “Barbarian” moniker. The loss of his family and the scattering or enslavement of his people to the hordes of Iuz has certainly left its mark on Rild’s personality as seen in so many deeds such as the founding of Cirdastan and the creation and support of a troop of insurgents in the wilds of his homeland. With his constant quest to find his family, make things right for his people and create a new home in the face of hostiles it seems it was destined that he was to find, release and serve the Goddess Cirda who had not only lost everything but was the Goddess of the Home, the one thing Rild seems to crave most.
Rild is resolute and fearless in battle, curious about all things technical-often striving to learn things beyond his ability, and absolute in his hate for those who follow dark forces into battle with mankind, human or humaniod! Mopar of Fax- Is of medium height with a stocky build. Smooth, tan skin; brown, sparkling eyes; red-brown wavy hair, and clean-shaven with a non-descript face. Mopar is frequently clad in a handsome suit of black full plate armour and draped in a flowing light brown cloak. Observers also can't help but notice his non-glowing two-handed sword. His motions are sure and his bearing is one of confidence. When asked his story Mopar is always ready to give his history in a brief and minimalistic way
"I was born in Fax in 574. (That makes me 20.) I worked for a tavern-keeper there, but fought alongside the garrison and escaped the city when Turrosh Mak's forces conquered my homeland a decade ago. I then made my way to Furyondy, and eventually joined the present group. Somewhere along the way, I learned to read."
Mopar has also taken Cirda as his patron Diety; such was her impact on the members of this group.
Decisive in all things Mopar has a straight forward world view.
"My early experiences taught me that marauders must be destroyed. This includes Turrosh Mak, Iuz, and the Scarlet Brotherhood."
Libram of some damn place
Soloman of Crockport.
Rotok of Exag As a child, Rotok could hardly wait for the days when caravans arrived in town. Growing up in such a remote place as Exag, the stories the caravan members told made it sound as if the world was full of untold wonders-unlike his home town. After hearing about the disasterous consequences of the Wars for the rest of the Flanaess, Rotok decided to make his way in the world and do something about it. Joining up with a caravan as an apprentice to the wizard helping to guard it, he started off southward. By time he met up with his current companions, some four years had passed, and he had become a full-fledged practicioner of the arcane arts. His blue eyes and almost-white hair betray his Suel heritage, which might explain his talent for magic. Quiet and soft spoken, he is nonetheless an astute observer of the situation around him, and few things escape his notice.
Ulthor Warrior-Priest of Heironeous Growing up in Furyondy, Ulthor was in an unlucky position to view Iuz's attempt to overrun the Flanaess from up close, for when the city of Chendl was besieged, he was in the city with his parents helping them bring their goods to market. Narrowly escaping death when a stone launched from one of Iuz's seige engines killed the rest of his family, he was taken in by the Priesthood of Heironeous and raised along with other orphans, many of whom had become so due to the war. As soon as he was able, he joined the priesthood as one of their warrior-priests, dedicating his life to furthering the cause of good, and hoping to play a part (however small) in the downfall of Iuz. Ulthor stands head and shoulders above most men, being 6' 10'', with jet black hair and steel grey eyes and is unwavering on the principles of honour espoused by Heironeous, but he is quick to smile and enjoys most people's company.
