Ado Bordev

Race: Human
Age: 42
Alignment: Lawful Good
Class: N/A

Ado Bordev has ruled Deadsnows for a decade now since Lord Delvon Icespear’s death in the War of the Silver Marches. Initially Bordev intended to act as a provisional figurehead until a proper replacement for Delvon was presented, as the late lord had no heir. A decade later Bordev still sits upon the Icespear families’ throne, retaining his title of Seneschal over naming himself as the new lord of Deadsnows. He does as he as able and rules the people as fairly as he can.

Bordev is a well meaning man but criticized as overly cautious and at times frustratingly indecisive. He turns to his own advisor and the captain of the Watch both for input on important issues more than acting on his own volition.

Dal Vornast

Race: Human
Age: 35
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Class: Battle Master (Subclass of Fighter)

Dal Vornast is the captain of the Watch and a veteran of the War of the Silver Marches. He was witness to the death of Lord Delvon Icespear and blames himself for Deadsnows woes. While he bears no ill will to Seneschal Bordev he views him as a frail leader and longs for the return of the wisdom of the Icespear house while reminding himself that his inaction made that impossible. He does his best to keep order and act as an advisor to the unsure Seneschal. A grim man Dal has little patience for those who waste his time or impede him in any way.

Gapip Whitefern

Race: Gnome
Age: 22
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Class: Apothecary

Gapip Whitefern is a gnome of Graevelwood. An herbalists’ apprentice Gapip makes medicines, potions, and ointments that he trades to the people in his village in exchange for food, clothes, and other supplies. Despite his small stature Gapip is strong of will and brave when he must be. When in danger he relies on trickery or the use of his concoctions to escape a situation or disable a foe.

Following the disbanding of the League of Silver Marches the region of Luruar has stood divided for near a decade now. While the great cities hold steadfast against the dangers of the far north the various smaller settlements and hamlets of the frontier must often fend for themselves. Such is the fate of the town of Deadsnows sitting at the feet of the foreboding Nether Mountains. Threatened by orcs, goblins, dragons, and other menaces the folk of Deadsnows are always vigilant and never stray far from their walls. The roads are just as dangerous, only the bravest travelers walk “the Fork”. You are one such traveler daring the far reaches of Faerûn. Weary from your journey and seeking shelter from the cold you have arrived in Deadsnows.

You find that the people are without welcoming words and kind smiles, a grim aura resonating in the air. Facing food shortage and constant attacks across the countryside morale is low and the town watch are pressed to retain order, the Seneschal having naught to offer locked away in his manor. A sinister shadow presides over Deadsnows misfortune, the eyes of tyrants have come to rest on what they see as theirs to be dominated. Willing or not you will find yourself swept up in the coming events. Will you seek to help the people, muster riches for yourself, or merely survive?

OP will be posted tomorrow, sorry for the delay! Had a busy day at work.

@Jinxlynx There is still room yes!

@Archangel89 Basically, yes they are.

ᖴOᖇGOTTEᑎ ᖇEᗩᒪᗰᔕ 🌙 Tales of Deadsnows (3-5 Players) (Narrative Roleplay)

NOTE: The reason for the template to be so “skeletal” is to allow for players to get creative with CS design from color coding to alignment and indentation. This allows a personalized aesthetic design in CS appearance. (This has always been an approach of mine.)

CS TEMPLATE

• Character Name:

• Age: (Must be in the adult age range for their race.)

• Gender:

• Height:

• Race:

• Class:

• Character Appearance: (An image is preferred but a very detailed description is also acceptable.)

• Short History: (Three to four paragraphs - 8-12 sentences a piece - minimum, add more if you wish of course. Be sure to include what has lead your character to Deadsnows.)

• Personality: (Character dispositions, moralities, general attitude and outlooks, etcetera. About three paragraphs minimum.)

• Weapons & Armor: (Images - preferably linked in this case - or detailed descriptions either are good.)

• Accessories & Miscellaneous: (Enchanted items, any heirlooms, charms, etcetera. In this case descriptions are preferred.)

• Skills and Abilities: (A detailed description of character ability, combat style, powers, spells, base strengths, and etcetera. Maybe add a little about their training/education. For mage characters a listing of spells is required. To mirror DnD rules/applications level one mages start with 6 spells and increase by two each level. So for mage characters let’s say 18 to 22 spells.)

• Other: (Players are encouraged to add any additional information they wish, of course this is not mandatory.)

@ShuYea sorry didn't mean to talk to you like you didn't know or anything, was just making sure we're on the same page D: My bad

@Rising Dusk

No worries! You were just clarifying. ^-^

ᖴOᖇGOTTEᑎ ᖇEᗩᒪᗰᔕ 🌙 Tales of Deadsnows (3-5 Players) (Narrative Roleplay)

I guess I should clarify

Utility in this case means how in DnD 5e there are spells like 'stone shape' 'speak languages' 'detect magic'

I asked about any book related to this area we're in so I could look up a PDF to read up on or ask a friend of mine who has a lot of 5E stuff if he has it

@Rising Dusk

I’m familiar with utility spells, no worries. Again, a utility caster build wouldn’t be out of place in the RP.

I do feel the need to add that this particularly area isn’t like super explored. For example the lore on Deadsnows provided in the wiki is… about it really as I’ve looked about online (though I won’t deny I might have missed something here or maybe there) . The same goes for example with the Vordrorn and Arn Forests. This is a frontier region that really doesn’t have a lot of heavy lore development or.

EDIT: Thanks Poo.

@ShuCan I ask you how the roleplay will work? Will someone function as a DM of sorts? (It's been a long time since I've been a part of RPGuild so I'm not sure if that's how things operate here still)

How combat focused do our characters need to be? Would a utility caster/support role be helpful or just still useless here?

Is there an official wizards of the coast handbook of any kind I could go find and read? They tend to be more detailed than anything the forgotten realms wiki has

@Rising Dusk

Good questions,

I will be GM/DM as I will control NPC characters and regulate events and story background. My roles will be limited to such as we won’t have any tabletop mechanics, I’ll basically just guide the story along and present players with choices to be made. I also have a “tavern” feature where I will post “rumors” and whatnot in the OOC for players to look act and if a particularly rumor/arc I’ve posted interested them they can pursue it.

While there will be parts of heavy combat I don’t see utility magic as totally useless in this setting. It could help in combat situations and if your character might know a couple of other spells - such as some evocation ones - those could be of assistance. A pure utility caster even could be of relevance as well, but I suppose that comes down to how you play the character really.

As for a handbook… @POOHEAD189 may have something. He is also big on Realms lore and could help fill in holes with his knowledge. I don’t know as much as him but I would be willing to help you out with what I know as well.
