Entry 1
So a lot's happened recently that I'd like to write down. Maybe I can write a story to tell my kids some day! I don't particularly have the best memory, so I'm writing as it's happening as best I can.
For anyone picking this off my dead body somewhere out in the wild, I'm Alphonse Alderleaf and I'm from Phandalin. It's a frontier town near the Sword Mountains south of Neverwinter Wood. Recently, I met up with some adventurers and they helped out with getting some ruffians - The Redbrands - out of my town. They had some plans with some weird-headed goblins and their leader The Spider, with the Redbrands acting as some mercs to kill their opposition. They took up Tresander Manor as their base, and my new friends helped me take them out of there for good!
With all that done, we went off to Neverwinter since one of my party members, Tristan, is actually the heir to the Manor and needed to do paperwork to have his title of Lord of Phandalin. There's about 11 of us working together: my friend Ilvarus, Sir Matthias, Sir Halvard, Sir Ignatius, Donut, Ernaldis, Sir Tristan, Vladrek, Bartholomew, and some kid that snuck on the cart Rosamel. During our travels we gained a goblin named Maggot that eventually agreed to help us out. There was a cleric that came with Matthias, Melchior, but he disappeared off to the church he came from. Guess adventuring wasn't for him.
Mr. Eddermath had a quest for Iggy and Matthias to check out some undead by an old well just east of us. Vladrek, Maggot, and I went with so it'd be a bigger group, but when we got there there's already a red and white tent pitched in the ruins around the well. I was gonna investigate, but i didn't see the thirteen zombies in the tower ruins guarding the camp. The controller of said zombies being a wizard from They named "Hamun Kost." Turns out these ruins were Netherese, rich with history! Dude is totally evil, but he's not attacking anyone so it's tolerable for now. The excessive undead around him are from marauders that we were gonna deal with already, so when he asked us to deal with it I was already happy to help! He also wanted us to ask a banshee about the wizard that originally made the tower years ago, just his name and stuff like that. Though I kinda don't wanna help with that, I DO in fact would like to find that out myself.

05:40 am - 10.03.2024Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there. Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and be halfway to Hammerfell. You there. You and me - we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormcloaks the Empire wants. We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief. Shut up back there! And what's wrong with him, huh? Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King. Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion. But if they've captured you... Oh gods, where are they taking us? I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits. No, this can't be happening. This isn't happening. Hey, what village are you from, horse thief? Why do you care? A Nord's last thoughts should be of home. Rorikstead. I'm... I'm from Rorikstead. ...looks like the Thalmor are with him. General Tullius, sir. The headsman is waiting. Good. Let's get this over with! Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me. Look at him. General Tullius the Military Governor. And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this. Why are we stopping? Why do you think? End of the line. Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting for us.

Birthplace
Thundertree
Current Residence
Alderleaf Farm (Phandalin)
Contacts & Relations
Folk Hero
Alphonse came from among the peasantry, but the druid who taught them revealed their birth is in accord with a prophecy spoken long ago by mysterious fey. People of their home village regard them as a blessed one with the skills to stand against threats against common folk everywhere.
Rustic Hospitality
Alphonse can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate among commoners, unless they have shown themself to be a danger to them. They will shield Alphonse from the law or anyone else searching for them, though they will not risk their lives for them.
Emerald Enclave
Alphonse is a member of the Emerald Enclave, wilderness survivalists who preserve the natural order while rooting out unnatural threats.
Family Ties
Alphonse was found and cared for by the druid Reidoth after she found them in the Ruins of Thundertree. She tried reuniting Alphonse with their family but was unable to find anything on them. They then decided to bring them to their friend Qelline Alderleaf who was having issues on having a child. The Alderleafs adopted Alphonse and later their little brother, Carp Alderleaf, was born. Though Mr. Alderleaf has passed, the Alderleafs continue to be a happy family caring for their farm in Phandalin.
Religious Views
For most of their life, Alphonse was not interested in the divine. However, when Thel Dendrar died, Alphonse found their amulet of Mielikki when they recovered his corpse for his family. Upon being gifted the amulet, Alphonse made a point to learn more about Mielikki: the neutral good goddess of forests and forest creatures; the patron of druids and rangers.
Although not quite a devoted follower of the Forest Queen, from what they have been able to learn they agree with much of their teachings and philosophy.
