Ashen Lands [legacy]

Thorn is a human fighter, shaped by loss and survival, searching for purpose in the streets of Drakenstone.

In a distant city, far from Drakenstone, Manna was born into luxury as the daughter of noble parents. She was always close to her brother, Caelum. As they grew older, her feelings for him became stronger, different from what a sister should feel. One night, unable to hold it back, she confessed her love. Caelum was horrified and rejected her. In a rush of shame and anger, Manna accidently killed him. Realizing what she'd done, her world shattered. She fled, leaving behind her family, her life, her wealth. For years, Manna wandered, searching for a way to escape her guilt. Now in Drakenstone, she hopes for a fresh start, but the weight of her brother’s death still follows her.

Caim was born into a noble house far from Drakenstone, where power came before family, his parents using him as a pawn in their cruel games. When he learned of their darkest secrets—how they built their wealth on the suffering of others—he ended their lives in their sleep. He’d always known his younger sister, Elara, was the one who could lead with compassion. His plan was for her to inherit their house, but he knew how she’d react to his actions. When she became heir, she saw him as nothing more than a traitor who destroyed their family. She never learned the truth of his actions, only the betrayal. Caim never expected forgiveness. He did what he thought was necessary to free his house from its corruption. His actions cost him everything, but he doesn’t regret them. The world, to him, is better without his parents' rule—no matter the cost. Even if no one knows the truth. Eventually, his travels have led him to Drakenstone.

Beylan was a wizard of high standing far away from Drakenstone, renowned for his mastery of the arcane. His insatiable curiosity, however, led him to explore forgotten and forbidden magics—ancient spells long abandoned by his people. He believed these lost arts held the key to untapped power and wisdom. But when his research was discovered, the ruling council condemned him, deeming his pursuit a threat to the delicate balance of magic. Stripped of his titles and exiled, Beylan was marked for death should he ever return. Now, in exile, Beylan continues his studies in secret. His journey has brought him to Drakenstone, a city steeped in ancient mysteries. Here, he seeks lost knowledge, though his true purpose remains hidden from those he meets. Quiet and determined, he hopes to prove his intentions were never dangerous—and perhaps, one day, return stronger than before, ready to reclaim his place among the magical elite.

Garran Voss, a former member of the City Guard, was dismissed for using excessive force. His ruthless methods, though effective in keeping order, were deemed too brutal—even for a hardened city like Drakenstone. To him, it felt like a betrayal. After giving everything to uphold the law, he was cast aside by the very system he had sworn to serve. Disillusioned and with nowhere left to turn, he saw little reason to continue fighting for a city that had turned its back on him. By the time he was stripped of his rank, Shade Widow had already established her place in Drakenstone’s criminal underworld. Bitter and aimless, Garran found a new purpose in her cause. Though his methods remained brutal, he found in her a figure he could follow—someone whose strength and loyalty spoke to him in ways the City Guard never had. Now, serving as her bodyguard, Garran uses his skills to protect her and eliminate any threats that might come her way.

His past has mostly faded, and he struggles to recall much of it. As a druid, he has long embraced his ability to shapeshift into animals, becoming one with the creatures of the forest and moving through it as they do. The Greywood forest is a dangerous place, full of hidden paths, lurking threats, and ancient secrets. Galen knows it all. He keeps to himself, but those who find him might discover he knows far more than he lets on… if they can earn his trust.

Maera was once a woman of faith, wearing robes now long discarded, serving a purpose now forgotten. She spoke prayers that once held power, followed rites that once brought comfort. But something changed. Whether she lost her god or found something else, no one knows—she refuses to say. Now, she sits in the alley, ignored by most, dismissed as just another mad old woman. She mumbles to herself, rocking slightly, her fingers tracing shapes in the dirt. But sometimes, she whispers a name—the name of someone who will soon die. A day later, it happens. Most call it coincidence. Others aren’t so sure.

Bram Tumblespot grew up in a quiet village in Tiryndor, where his family ran a small trading post. When a devastating raid by marauding bandits left his home in ruins, he lost everything—his family, his livelihood, and his sense of security. With nothing left to tie him to his past, he moved to Drakenstone city, hoping for a fresh start. In Ironholt Market, he opened "Tumblespot’s Travel Gear", selling simple supplies to travelers and adventurers. Though he hides his sorrow behind a cheerful smile, his heart still aches for the life he lost, and his market stall is his way of rebuilding it.
