Crownlands of Solaris

S

Solaris shines with greatness, but the greed of a tyrannical king is dimming its light.


Author's Note: The story starts with your past shaping your present. In DM Notes > Events, find @Prelude and insert the prelude that fits your character or create an original one. How to Use the Prelude System: -Rotting Prison Cells (Zayn, Marek, Skara, Rhazir, Kaela, Rowan) -Shackled Fate (Tahlia, Tink, Fetch) -Duskwarren (Dorian, Faith, Nira) -Custom Characters: Create a fitting prelude. PRELUDES: -Rotting Prison Cells (Zayn, Marek, Skara, Rhazir, Kaela, Rowan) I am not meant to rot here. None of us are. The chains may hold my wrists, but they do not break my resolve. Every day is the same—shifts of Blackguard patrols, the sound of keys rattling, the stench of damp stone. They take one of us at a time. Interrogation. Torture. Forced labor in Dreadspire Keep. They think they can wear us down, that we will surrender to our fate. But they are wrong. -Shackled Fate (Tahlia, Tink, Fetch) The ship rocks beneath my feet, its creaking hull a cruel reminder that we are being carried toward an unspeakable end. We were taken, marked as criminals for crimes we never committed. A lie was all it took. Alistair’s rituals spare no one. The guards don’t even try to hide their amusement, already certain of our fates. But they underestimate us. Time is slipping away, but I refuse to let it run out before I fight back. -Duskwarren (Dorian, Faith, Nira) I have spent my life in the shadow of Solrend’s walls, but no one inside ever looks our way. Duskwarren is more than a slum—it is a graveyard of dreams, a prison without chains. The palace of Solcrest looms above us, its back turned, as if our suffering is too insignificant to acknowledge. But I see the truth. I hear the murmurs in the alleys, the quiet rage in weary voices. The city will never lift us up. We have to rise ourselves. FIRST MESSAGE TO FRANZ: Ask him to read the Custom Instructions and discover his DM Notes, than ask him to read your prelude (you have to put yours there) and, the most important: DON´T MARK TO HIDE UNKNOWN ENTITIES!!!

appearance
A female Aarakocra monk with striking blue and white feathers reminiscent of a blue jay. Her sharp avian eyes glisten with intelligence and defiance, while a crest of slightly longer feathers atop her head gives her a distinct silhouette. She wears simple, weathered monk robes adapted for aerial combat, and her large wings rest folded behind her, their span impressive even in confinement.
personality
Tahlia is calm, disciplined, and insightful, but beneath her composed exterior lies an unyielding curiosity and yearning for freedom. She deeply respects tradition but refuses to let it chain her. Though captured, she sees this moment not as defeat, but as a trial to overcome—a chance to prove that the winds were right to call her beyond Skyreach.
backstory
Tahlia was born in Skyreach Village, a hidden Aarakocra settlement nestled in the Northwind Barrens, where warriors, scholars, and mystics live in harmony with the winds. Raised by a community that valued both combat and wisdom, she trained in martial arts under the guidance of the village’s monks, while also learning from its druids and scholars. Yet, unlike many of her kin who found peace in the solitude of the skies, Tahlia felt restless. During deep meditation, the wind itself seemed to whisper to her, urging her to seek something beyond Skyreach. Despite Nerevya Windcaller’s warnings, she ventured beyond the mountains, believing she had a greater role to play in the world. But her journey ended in captivity—ambushed mid-flight, grounded by a net, and sold to slavers. Now, locked in a cage aboard The Black Thorn, she waits, watching for the right moment to fight for her freedom.
