Esmerelda Darkshadow

Those who think all elves are creatures of light and joy have not met Esmerelda. Dressing in dark colors with a temperament to match, Esmerelda believes she is doomed to a life of pain and gloom. Only when her enemies lie broken at her feet does she crack the slightest hint of a smile. Yet this dour disposition is not simply part of her nature—as a young woman, Esmerelda was told by an oracle that she would bring ruin and destruction to everything she ever loved. Two days later, her wife-to-be was slain by orcs. Resolved to never love again, she paints herself gray with ash to symbolize the death she carries.

Combat Encounters:Esmerelda travels the world alone, attacking those who trigger her mercurial temper (such as by not keeping their distance). Any sort of romantic proposition or prophecy magic sends her into a rage.

Roleplaying Suggestions:All Esmerelda can talk about is the ultimate futility of life and the inevitability of death and decay.

These eldritch knights seek out evil spellcasters and dispense justice for their misdeeds.

Melkallan Truespell

Believing magic to be a gift from the gods, Melkallan hates to see it misused by the wicked and the power-hungry. He uses his magic to protect the innocent, and to stop evil spellcasters who would enslave and terrorize.

Combat Encounters:Preferring the company of paladins and the agents of good deities, Melkallan joins any crusade that promises to bring evil spellcasters to justice. While his heart is pure and his zealous fervor is admirable, the gnome unfortunately adheres to rather stringent beliefs regarding the acceptable use of magic, and may command those he deems "unworthy" to cease casting immediately or face the consequences. Parties using magic for anything less than a crusade on behalf of a righteous lord or the common people—perhaps using it for mundane adventuring, looting, mercenary work, and so on—all risk running afoul of his long-winded judgments (and long-handled warhammer).

Roleplaying Suggestions:Melkallan is friendly and helpful to all, especially common people, but becomes unyielding and focused when he encounters any form of injustice.
