Scions of Aroden Roll Call

In real-world terms, most of the members of the Scions of Aroden are just like your rank-and-file college student or wage slave. They don't have the charisma or know-how to inspire others, and don't have the physical power to fight effectively against authority. Arael is an inspiring leader, but he can't do it alone. With no leader, they're just a mob; with a leader - and heroes to inspire them - they can be a force to be reckoned with. Arael believes the group can make a difference in Telflamm.

Most of the characters listed below are given a potential character class - it is this class that is most suited to the character in question, and the direction that character will gravitate to. A player may choose one of these characters to develop into a PC, and should use this class as a suggestion (but not requirement).

There are also anywhere from five to ten other people on the fringe of the group (mainly friends or close family members) who may or may not know of the existence of the Scions, and who eventually might be convinced to join if the rebels stay together, avoid the law, and start to make positive changes in the city. For now, these non-member contacts are willing to help them with minor assistance such as lending items, relaying news, and other activities that aren't illegal and won't arouse suspicion - these characters are not listed below, but will appear now and then during the course of this campaign.

Scion Treasury

Arael - leader of the Scions

Morosino - street urchin who serves Arael as a messenger and scout

Janiven - second in command of Scions (slain)

Janiven was Arael's closest companion, but died recently in the fight against the Bastards of Erebus

Amaya (female Tian human) - beautiful but self-conscious glassblower

Amaya is a well-mannered glassblower and an incredibly beautiful woman who's somewhat self-conscious about the effect her appearance has on others - she dresses plainly as a result. She hopes someday to visit her distant kin.

Ermolos (male Chelish human) - blacksmith whose father has gone missin

Ermolos is incredibly muscular, a physique the result of a long apprenticeship as a blacksmith. He walks with a slight limp - a lingering effect of a childhood illness. His father, Ermolos the Elder, was a relatively well-known adventurer who vanished on an ill-fated journey to Thuvia several years ago - Ermolos still clings to the hope to some day travel across the Inner Sea to find his missing parent. (Potential: fighter.)

Fiosa (female halfling) - house servant with a new faith in Iomedae

Fiosa is a house servant who is friends with many halfling slaves; she takes advantage of her freedom to help her kin as best she can. She has a very real respect for Janiven and Arael after they helped her smuggle several halfing slaves out of Telflamm (and out of a particularly heinous merchant’s home), and her newfound faith in Iomedae is quite strong. (Potential: cleric.)

Gorvio (N male Chelish human) - believes an ancestor was a tiefling

Gorvio works for his uncle Jacovo, a horse trader, but has increasingly grown curious about his ancestry — his vibrant amber eyes (among hints he’s overheard from his uncle during the man’s frequent drunken bouts) make him suspect that somewhere in his past lurks the blood of a tiefling or two. (Potential: sorcerer.)

Larko (male Garundi human) - dock worker who misses rural life

Larko lives a simple life as a dock worker, but daydreams of his childhood in the hills east of Telflamm and hopes some day to be able to afford to move out of the city and live a hunter’s life. He’s the strong, silent type, rarely speaking unless he has to. (Potential: ranger.)

Mathalen (female Chelish human) - recently unemployed philosopher

Mathalen is a thin and wiry woman who worked as a porter but found the job dreadfully dull. She got through her days by making sure to take frequent breaks to meditate and purge her mind of “the poisons of menial labor.” This attitude struck her employer as lazy, and she was recently fired from her job and thinks of the Scions of Telflamm as her new calling. (Potential: monk.)

Rizzardo (male Varisian human) - bad-tempered but hard-working laborer

After stowing away on a Thayvian ship, Rizzardo found himself more or less stuck in Telflamm years ago. He earns his keep working at odd jobs as an unskilled laborer, but has to switch jobs frequently as a result of his temper and impatience at following orders from one person for too long. He only joined the Scions of Telflamm because of a powerful attraction to Janiven, but has since grown to enjoy the company of the others, particularly Ermolos, who he insists sounds like his little brother. (Potential: barbarian.)

Sclavo (male Garundi human) - soft-spoken scribe and devotee of Iomedae

A soft-spoken yet intractable (if secret) worshiper of Iomedae, Sclavo has long worked as a scribe for one of Telflamm’s courts. He longs for a day when the laws of Thay can be reformed, and sees this group as a tool that, eventually, can be used to do just that. (Potential: paladin.).

Tarvi (female Chelish human) - aspiring wizard stuck in a dead-end job

Tarvi’s parents own a prosperous jewelry store in Telflamm — the “Glitter Palace.” She’s worked there for years, but is far too witty and intelligent to do the job well. In those years she has engineered the failure of no less than a dozen attempts by her parents to get her married into nobility. Her true passion is studying magic — she has little time for romance, and hopes some day to be able to create and sell magical jewelry. (Potential: wizard.)

Vitti (male Chelish human) - green-haired eccentric who respects nature

Vitti is a strange, eccentric man who dyes his hair green and refuses to eat any food he doesn’t grow or catch himself. A talented woodcarver whose works earn him a modest income, he prides himself on the fact that he only carves wood that’s been harvested from deadfalls and other trees that died of natural causes. (Potential: druid.)

Yakopulio (female gnome) - offensive and irreverent gnome bartender

Of all the Scions of Telflamm, noisy and irreverent Yakopulio is the least religious — she wears her atheism proudly, and her eagerness to contradict often sparks arguments among the others in the group. She works as a bartender (and moonlights as a pimp) at a tavern called the Bruised Eel, and many of the others in the Scions of Aroden don’t understand what Arael sees in the offensive gnome. (Potential: rogue.)
