Azren

A cleric of the Light who carries a temple upbringing out onto the road. Quotes a particular hero of the faith constantly, assumes the best of anyone who shares his god, and cannot be talked out of a good mood.

Acolyte.

• Personality. Idolizes a particular hero of his faith and constantly refers to that person’s deeds and example. Nothing can shake his optimistic attitude.
• Ideal. Faith. He trusts that his deity will guide his actions, and has faith that if he works hard, things will go well. (Lawful)
• Bond. He would die to recover an ancient relic of his faith that was lost long ago.
• Flaw. His piety sometimes leads him to blindly trust those who profess faith in his god.

Active, 2nd level. Slots and Channel Divinity restored after a long rest.

Location: A murdered family’s farmhouse on the Tradeway, two days south of Fairhill. He set the watch in the room where three of them died. Condition: Full hit points. Ended Vortigern’s Trap with nothing left in reserve. Carrying: Scale mail and shield, holy symbol, a share in roughly 830 gp. Open threads:

• Unnamed Boy attached himself to Azren after he fed him and treated his cut feet. The boy does not speak. His family were murdered and he ran; nothing else is established.
• He could prepare detect magic as a ritual on any long rest and identify the stone from The Smiling Skull. He has not yet.
• He still cannot name the people who raised the stones — he missed the History DC by four and worked out only that they predate the road.
• Corian’s five-way split was agreed for the keep only; the road treasure is unclaimed.
• Corian has released anyone who wants to leave at Fairhill.
• The farm family is still unburied, having now been killed twice. He is a good-aligned cleric standing over them. Knows (exclusive): He is the one who called into the dark and heard the child’s voice stop mid-breath — the moment the lure proved itself a lie. He also found the boy alone on the last watch.
