The Uldarayne Campaign Background Page
This page contains background information on The Adventures of The Uldarayne Brave, a fantasy campaign currently running.
Current:
Lord Tylon Uldarayne [Achievement]. Lord Tylon is the holder of Myrenath Manor in the Harnic Kingdom of Kaldor. He is a warrior and leader of growing renown, having amongst other things travelled to the Dwarven halls of lost Kiraz, in search of implements to aid in the evolving battle against the foul Mage Renegade (Demon?) Panaga.
He is also a werewolf.
Sir Ordt Uldarayne. Sir Ordt is the paternal cousin of Lord Tylon. 10 years his cousins junior, he is an impressive (7'1") warrior knight of great looks, charisma and romantic appeal. He has at least one illegitimate son by a woman in Myrenath village. He is under growing pressure from his cousin to marry well ...
Lady Noir Atejaal. Lady Noir is a shieldmaiden from the northern realm of Orbaal. A woman of physical beauty and great appetites, no man who catches her eyes can avoid his fate for long. A cunning warrior and scout, Lady Noir is also the watchful eyes of the group, ever guarding against surprises in the wildernesses of Hârn.
The Honourable Aion Epris. The spiritual advisor of the group, Sir Aion is a clergyman, vested into the service of the Lady of Paladins, the Warrior Goddess Larani. He is man of some learning, and has the power of the Church and the Goddess to aid him in his battles.
But this is only what seems to be ...
Aion is a fraud. He's a Melderyni Mage, a freelance agent, who's specialty is infiltration and deceit. For now he works his trade in this group, but it has come close. He has been almost exposed, only avoiding the revelation of the full truth by admitting to "dabbling in magery", when he was put before the inquisitional council at Abriel.
However, one cannot but begin to suspect, that the Aion of today is not altogether as impious as he used to be ...
Goodman Almanack of Myrenath. Almanack is one of Lord Tylon's serfs. Born to an impoverished family, Almanack was mute at birth, and for many years was thought to be a simpleton, no good for anything but working the land under strict supervision. This changed, however, when his parents died by ilness, and he was taken into Lord Uldaraynes household, as a ward. Here, he grew up with Lord Tylon, and the two developed a special bond. Furthermore, Lord Tylon has brooked the expence of putting Almanack through school with the monks of Save-K'nor in Tashal, so he has now learned to read and write, and can thus communicate with the group by more that simple gestures.
He is in his own right a formidable warrior, and may even earn his freedom at some point (as of 20.03.99 this character is an NPC)
Former party members:
Kukal Hurenfal. Kukal Hurenfal is a Captain of the Hurenfal Clan from the Khuzan (dwarven) Kingdom of Azadmere. Clan Hurenfal is the High Guard of King Hazmadul, great warriors to a man.
