Hall
of Heroes
Here is a list of some the former player characters
that are living in Greyhawk and may be encountered as
NPCs. Most of the characters will be encountered in
Keoland and other areas near the Sheldomar Valley as this
is where most of our adventures took place. These
characters are presented to use as NPCs and several of
them are of high levels. They are ideal therefore to be
used as mentors and advisors for a party of player
characters.
Caradin Stomdale
Half-elf, male, Fighter 7, NG
Caradin Stormdale is a former ranger who lost his
rangerhood after experimenting with two teeth of Dahlver-Nar,
the unfortunate side affect of which was an involuntary
alignment change. He adventured briefly with Leah and
Dawn but usually undertook solo adventures wandering the
lands in search of a way to restore his lost rangerhood.
He disappeared several years ago after joining a band of
adventurers who were investigating the attacks on
caravans in the Burning Sands region of Candalfeor (a
continent in the Southern Hemisphere of Oerth that we
developed many years ago). Of his party only one returned
to Galach to tell of the fate of Caradin and his
companions. Apparently they were attacked and captured by
an efreeti lord who'd set up his own domain in the
Burning Sands. No word has been heard from Caradin since
this unfortunate incident, mainly because he is trapped
on the Elemental Plane of Fire.
Caradin is currently trapped on the Elemental Plane of
Fire and trying to find a gate back to Greyhawk.He
escaped a prsion but only after the efreeti pasha removed
the artefact teeth. Caradin managed to escape and now
wanders round in the city of Brass trying to find a way
home. At least now his alignment has returned to normal.
Perhaps one day he'll find a way back to \the Prime
Material Plane and a way to regain all he has lost (i.e.
his rangerhood).
Caradin is a brave and resourceful warrior. He is easy
going and carefree, almost recklessly so at times but has
a strong sense of right and wrong and a champion of the
underdog. He is exceedingly loyal to his king, Robert
Durand, and his wife Niva Morgan.
Dawn Darkwater
Human, male, Paladin 13, LG
Dawn and Leah are two of the most famous adventurers in
Greyhawk being responsible for the ending of the /slavers
menace and the destruction of the giants fortresses in
the Yeomanry. Following many brave deeds Dawn retired and
built a keep called Lauvlin in the Good Hills. He founded
his own order of paladins, the Order of the Silver
Gauntlet and spends his days running this organisation.
The paladins are gaining a growing reputation in the
south-west Flanaess and have received a royal charter
from King Kimbertos. Apparently the Knights of the Watch
aren't impressed.
Dawn has only one arm, the other being taken by Lolth,
instead he has a special magical arm constructed by
Grimrod that acts as a normal arm in all respects and has
several magical powers of its own. Dawn Darkwater is a
shining example of all a paladin should be: brave, loyal,
courteous, honest, unflinching in his devotion to the
tenants of his order and is a living hero to a whole
generation of paladins in the Flanaess.
Dread Delgath
Human, male, Fighter 5, N
Dread was another member of Valentine's band and once the
fellowship broke up he journeyed briefly with Jearath
around northern Keoland. He was last heard of
investigating n old tomb in the Stark Hills with a band
of adventurers operating out of Gorna.
Gregor "the Great"
Gray elf, male, Fighter 7/ Mage 9
Gregor the Great had a long and illustrious career (being
Ian's first ever character!) but his luck finally ran out
in the dungeons beneath the Halls of the Fire Giant King
(G3) when he was slain by a mindflayer- his brain sucked
out actually. Fortunately for him Grumble had prepared
for such an emergency and took some tissue samples which
he used to cloned the elf. Gregor then spent several
months with Grumble in his tower in Gradsul, copying
spells and doing research of his own. One day a letter
arrived for him stating that Edwin Bannock , the lord of
Bannock Keep, more commonly known as the Keep on the
Borderlands which lies in the Stark Hills, had died
without leaving an heir and that he had bequeathed his
title and lands to Gregor. Grego immediately packed up
his belongings and headed north to claim his inheritance
and is now the ruler of his own small fife in the
borderland province of Javan in north-western Keoland.
Groves
Half elf, male, Druid 12, N
Groves is a follower of Beory who joined Leah on an
expedition to the plane of Elemental Fire. After
successfully rescuing Telo and Dawn Groves travelled to
the Dreadwood and became a member of the circle of druids
(called the Druids of the Dread) charged with protecting
this woodland. He is currently the second in charge of
this small circle and spends his days wandering around
the forest that he loves.
Grumble Firebreath
Gray elf, male, Fighter 7/Mage 11, N
Grumble joined Leah and Dawn on some of their later
adventures. He is a slightly build grey elf, with silver
hair and amber eyes of indeterminable age. Like the other
members of Leah's party retired shortly after rescuing
Dawn from the Drow. He retired to Arathgul's tower in
Doriath in the Sommelend Duchy (in the Southerrn
hemisphere of Oerth) but used great magicks to relocate
the entire structure to Gradsul in Keoland. Here he shut
himself away for several months while conducting
important research. Finally he invited Leah to a banquet
at his tower. Leah arrived and was very surprised to find
both Keelin and Gregor sitting at the table. Grumble had
used a clone spell from a scroll given to him by his
friend Grimrod the Grey (ruler of the Valley of the Mage)
and had cloned both of the former companions using
samples he'd collected after their deaths in the Halls of
the Fire Giant King. Needless to say Leah was elated to
be reunited with his friends.
Grumble spends most of his time shut away in his tower
and seldom adventures any more. He does occasionally find
the need to adventure to replenish rare material
components for his research but if he can he prefers to
send out bands of lower level adventurers to undertake
these quests for him. He has gained a reputation of being
a generous sponsor so commissions to do work for him are
highly sought after by adventurers.
Jareth "the Roamer"
Human, male, Monk 5, LG
Jareth the Roamer was another member of Valentine's
original band. This bald headed monk still wanders the
South West Flanaess, never staying in one place for long
and doing as he pleases. He is known to pop in and visit
his former adventuring companions in Hochoch but never
stays for long.
Joanne Meriweather
Human, female, Bard 5, NG
Joanne Meriweather was a member of Valentine's Fellowship
and she retired to Hochoch at the end of her brief
adventuring career. She lives with Romanous Bargord and
spends much of her spare time raising their three
children. She still loves telling tales of faraway places
and on occasion is known to perform in one off the many
inns of Hochoch. It seems that she has given up the
adventuring life for good.
Keelin "the Bold"
Half-elf, male, fighter 13, NG
Keelin the bold was a member of Leah's Fellowship who,
like Gregor, was slain by Mindflayers in the dungeons
beneath the fire giant kings halls. Grumble was cloned by
Grumble (using a scroll) and so restored to life. He was
last heard of travelling north to reclaim his keep in the
Gnarley Forest. Leah received word stating that the keep
had been taken over by demons and that Keelin was
intending on raising a band of adventurers to clear it.
No word has been heard since.
Leah Ravenlock
human, male, bard 19 (fighter 8, thief 8), LN
Leah Raavenlock, poet, bard and adventurer. Truly one of
the greatest adventurers of the time, his exploits have
become legendary. He retired to Doriath in Candalfeor to
be with his girlfriend, Linden, the ruler of the local
thieves guild. However the guild was broken up by the
authorities and both Leah and Linden forced to flee the
Sommelend Duchy. They returned to Greyhawk and settled in
Gradsul in Keoland.
Leah continues to give the occasional performance and
is much sought after by the nobility of Keoland. He
usually refuses such invitations but it is known that he
is the favourite bard of King Kimbertos Skotti and
performs at the kings annual gala. He spends much of his
ample free time writing poetry and is rumoured to be
writing his memoirs and a play based on his adventuring
days.
Linden (NPC)
Human, female, Thief 13, N
The vivacious Linden is Leah Ravenlocks' lover. She was
the guild -mistress of Doriath's thieves guild in the
Sommelend Duchy which lies in the southern hemisphere of
Oerth, but had to flee the city with a price on her head
when the authorities broke up the organisation. She is
still on the run and has a large reward on her head, (over
10,000 gold sovereigns). She now lives in Gradsul in
Keoland with Leah and has no plans to start a new guild
and is said to have retired from thieving. However
several spectacular burglaries in Keoland in recent years
have been attributed to an unknown female thief of rare
skill and talent. Linden claims no knowledge of these
events, she merely smiles and politely steers the
conversation to more interesting matters if asked about
them.
Romanous Bargord
Human, male, Fighter 5, LN
After settling down with Joanne Meriweather Romanous
joined the Watch in Hochoch. This proved to be an
excellent career move for him and he quickly rose through
the ranks to become an officer of the Watch. In 580CY he
was appointed Captain of the Watch and is now responsible
for all law and order in Hochoch. He has gained a
reputation as being a tough yet fair officer and is much
admired and respected by his troops. He gained much fame
after a showdown with the bandit lord Guntha McQuay
outside one of the inns of Hochoch. McQuay was visiting
one of the brothels in the seedier part of town and
Romanous, with the aid of Valentine, walked into the
brothel and arrested the bandit lord before his stunned
men while the nervous soldiers of the Watch looked on.
The bandit resisted and several of his henchmen slain
before Romanous took him prisoner.
The Learned One (Telo)
Gray elf, female, Mage 14, CG
The enigmatic elf, Telo was one of the long term members
of Leah's fellowship. On many occasions her magic saved
her companions lives. A few years ago she and Dawn had a
near death experience on the elemental plane of fire and
following her rescue from this plane she decided to
retire to her native Celene. Here she accepted a position
at the Royal Academy of the Arcane Arts in Enstad and
spends most of her days here lecturing apprentice magic
users and conducting research of her own. She still keeps
in contact with her former companions but much of her
time is devoted to her studies and she has little free
time to pursue other interests or to visit with t hem.
Valentine Camero
Human, male, Mage 7 (Fighter 5), LN
Valentine Camero lives in Hochoch on the borders of the
Grand Duchy of Geoff. He began his adventuring days as a
fighter but showed some aptitude with magic and
eventually trained to become a mage. Several years ago (576CY)
he and his companions ran afoul of the ruler of the
Valley of the Mage and were forced to flee the valley.
Valentine's girlfriend, Jemima was slain in the combat
with the Mage's troops and Valentine was heart broken. He
wanted revenge but his friends counselled against it.
When his companions finally went their separate ways
Valentine organised an expedition to retake the Valley
but was once again defeated. His hatred of the Mage hasn't
diminished over the years and he still plots to overthrow
him and take the land as his own. When afflicted by such
foul moods and talking of such deeds it is best to leave
the usually carefree Valentine alone. Valentine is semi-retired
but occasionally finds time to adventure, usually without
his former companions. The last such occasion was when he
joined the Silver Blades on several expeditions into the
Dim Forest.
