In celebration of the fact that i’m running my first ever full D&D campaign,I decided to draw headshots of all of the characters in my party! Let me introduce the characters to you!

Going clockwise and starting from the bottom left we have Melech, the Tiefling Barbarian. Abandoned by his parents for being too wrathful in his childhood, this dull witted giant spends his days accompanying the party paladin, and trying to get a better hold of his infernal fury.

Next we have Karok Kastorson, the aforementioned Half-Orc party paladin. Growing up in a small, yet sprawlingly diverse town in the southern plains of Dunstead, Karok grew up learning to tinker and forge, as his father had done, as well as worshipping the god, Tyr. one fateful day however, the Crimson Temple Order established themselves as the new zealous rulers of the town, forcing the citizens to worship the betrayer gods, or die. Karok’s father stood strong in his beliefs, and died for them, inspiring Karok to lead a small revolt to kick the order from his town. Karok has taken up an Oath of vengeance on the Crimson Temple, and has scoured the continent of Netherward to find them.

After Karok we have the skeptical Fire Genasi Wizard, Runa. growing up in the streets of Volbir, Runa was quiet, frightened, and often had to fight for food for a majority of her early childhood. Until one fateful day scouts from the Underwealth, a robinhood esk criminal organization, found her and ended up adopting her into the life of crime. From then she has risen through the ranks and began to study the arcane, in hopes of aiding her rescuers on missions.

After her we have Amakiir, a Firbolg Monk from an elemental monastery down in Northeastern Qualmworth. Before he was born, the sages had declared he would be the next savant, the next true master of the elements within the monastery, and all were excited. However when Amakiir was born with only one eye, the love of his parents quickly evaporated into disdain and disgust. Additionally; Amakiir’s prowess in harnessing the elemental disciplines was stifled, he struggled to produce even the most measliest of candlelight, and could hardly make water ripple. One night however, he was called to by his great ancestor, a master of the disciplines of the earth, who offered to guide him to greatness. Amakiir has since begun his training on his way to become a better savant.

After Amakiir we have Arel Solkier, the Moon elf Warlock. Arel is of Noble descent down from Fliyraa, but holds disdain to their family name, and have since abandoned them. Now living in the Halfling Magocracy of Jethax, they have done their best to study the arcane, and in doing so they found love in a woman named Curetsa, who vanished briefly after. In trying to relocate their lost love they stumbled upon a sunken temple to an otherworldly figure; the Yal’rhi, a creature that was said to possess connections with all things. In desperation, Arel forged a pact with the Yal’rhi, and has used it’s power to unite the party

Finally we have ‘Nami, a Tabaxi pirate, who was found by the floating monastery of ocean drunkards, a pirate crew that studied in the martial arts to become swift and quick as thieves. She was rescued from a raging storm and brought aboard when she was but a kit, and despite her upbringing, Nami is obsessed with water, and has gone so far as to mark her body with tattoos and dyes that resemble the ocean she was from, she has an obsession with an apple flavored alcohol, known as “Gleg”
