Back Story

I am Rael.

My tribe has sent me forth to uncover the mystery of this eternal night. Not just me, but a few of my friends too. Ollo, known as Treestomper (for he is 8 ft tall), and Aunok, who the tribe calls Bearflinger (she once defeated a bear by chucking it off a cliff), have also been tasked. I must uncover the mystery before they do to prove my worth. They are worthy competitors and good people. I wish them luck and hope to see them again. Our tribe and all people of the North will prosper once the sun rises again.

Along the way, I crossed paths with Iclyn, a silver dragonborn cleric. We travel together as she has also been tasked to discover the source of this endless night. She has a contact in one of the towns. Her words of bringing comfort to those trapped in darkness is an inspiration.

My people don't usually travel with others but I'm different. Though their customs are strange and inefficient, I see the value in many individuals.

I will succeed and return home. Maybe even earn a new nickname. Bellok, a tribe elder (he's managed to live to 60!) calls me Rootwalker. He says I'll travel far and never rise in status, never growing like the forest, just doomed to the ground amongst the roots.

It's time to prove the old bastard wrong.
