The White Council - Former Members

In UC 637, an Adventurer's Guild was formed for the first time in Salderia.  It attracted all sorts of people from all walks of life.   But many would eventually drift off or retire before gaining any renown.

One group managed to attract the attention of the White Council through their deeds and adventure in Irth Ungrae.  They were eventually recruited to join the White Council and was instrumental in defeating the Daemons that poured forth from the Rift in Brosengar. 

Summoners from El'thak Jisrak - part of the Kartassan Combine, discovered the gem crystals and used them to corrupt military & religious leaders in Brosengar.    When that failed, they unleashed their experimental portal magic that linked Irth Ungrae with a plane of existence known as Acheron.  At first the Emperor of Kartassa refused to sanction this act, believing that they could conquer Irth Ungrae and reunite all human kingdoms with military might.   If Kartassa was to rule Irth Ungrae, they must do so on their own merit without being a slave to a Daemon.

This group of adventurers traveled the continent far and wide, their deeds known throughout Salderia, Corawyn, Dunswetch, Thormatoin, The Cemyraen City States to Osengrae itself.

They consisted of

Caldor Val Amaranth
A inquisitor paladin who joined the party during their formative years but left due to some differences.  The party found his methods far too extreme and often distasteful.   He later formed his own party and after gaining significant renown, returned to Uzarae and became a Bishop. 

Naal Selevaruille (Wickit)
A high elf wizard who is the brains of the party.  He often come up with ingenious methods to overcome the obstacles.  Lund once said Naal is the craftiest person he has ever met.  After defeating the Daemons at the Rift, he served the White Council with distinction and help mentor some apprentice that decided to join the White Council.   When he learn that the White Council has saved Irth Ungrae before like his party did.  He was determined to find a means to save Irth Ungrae once and for all and conducted extensive research into it.  Searching for possible dangers that would threaten the world.

Tyros Blackblade
A human battlemaster.  He was perhaps known as the most ruthless in the party and has never known mercy. When the Riftwatch was formed, the White Council wanted Davos to head it instead but Davos declined, preferring to instead settle down.   The task then fell to Tyros who has rose to the occasion defending the realm from the monsters that venture from the Rifts.

Davos Strongsteel
A human swordmaster who served as a sell sword.   He met up with the party in Salderia and traveled with them.  A quiet and taciturn warrior, he was never one to hog the glory.  His modesty caught the eye of Trissa Delaine, daughter of Earl Stefan of Brosengar.  The two eventually wed after the party saved the world.  Because of his heroic deeds, he was promoted to Marquis and entrusted to rule a portion of Brosengar fairly.   He turned down the White Council's offer to make him Lord Commander of the Riftwatch, deciding instead to focus on taking care of his family and land.   He has since passed away and is succeeded by his son.  Dravain Strongsteel.

Lund Vlastos
A human cleric, he begin adventuring career much later than the rest and was the eldest in the party.
He talks when necessary and made sure his words carried weight.   A force to be reckoned with in battle as well.   Lund is not one who shy from a fight but would stay his hand when necessary.  He declined the White Council's offer to become one of the Riftwatch's leader, stating that he has seen one too many Daemons in his lifetime.   After saving the world, he returned to Osengrae and accepted position of Arch Bishop for Temple of the Seven Saints.  He later wed an elf maiden known as Clariel Moonsong but went mysteriously vanished after their child was born.  His companions have tried searching for him but are unable to find him.


Dungar Threehorns
A mountain dwarf champion, he is known as the most unhinged of the party and his recklessness would get the party in trouble more often than not.   Also known to be the most soft hearted and courageous among the party, he would often volunteer the party for missions which they would take incredible risk without getting rewarded simply because it felt good to do good things for others.
After saving the world, he returned to the Grand Halls of Thormatoin as a Great Hero and was granted wealth and titles.  He wanders Irth Ungrae from time to time, visiting his old friends and exploring lost Dwarven Thaneholds.

Tabitha Riesling / Taretha Elluvariel
A human rogue, with a headstrong nature and a knack for knowing things.  She was smitten by Quelvallein and fell in love with him after their encounters.  She went to great lengths to get him to accept her, even had Naal transform her into an elf and took on the name as Taretha.   Despite this, Quelvallein already has someone in his heart and only saw her as a friend and fellow member of the White Council.   After saving the world, she confronted Quelvallein and was rejected.  Spurned, she leaves the White Council and decided to form her own thieves guild.   But she was approached by Tyros to be his 2nd in command.  Leaving her in charge of the Riftwatch's clandestine operations.
