Cernan Aelar
Sir Cernan of Arabeth Knight of the Living Tree
Judge Knight when in Alador - Kingdom.
As a dedicated paladin of Arabeth, he's both compassionate and highly capable of wielding a blade to defend his goddess and those in need.
History
Lived on the outskirts of New Haran. Tried to pass as half elf. But is Aasimar. His half-elf adoptive parents gave him the last name Aelar ('Winged' in Elvish), a nod to his divine origin. At age of 15, Arabeth , the goddess, called Cernan to protect her and be a paladin. He saved her from a goblin that would have killed her. Became a paladin. Last 10 years, keeping New Haran and trade routes safe. Is a folkhero to people of the area, protecting the old city from the hobgoblins. He's a bit reclusive. He's the only one he knows who worships Arabeth. He gets the feeling she's ancient, yet may be a baby. A dream: Standing in sandstorm. Black sand all around. Sorrowful memory from Arabeth. (We believe this was in Indarin.)Campaign Notables
Cernan's Apprenticeships
Cernan studied and practiced to gain the Inspire skill. (After Session 34 - Frost Giant Schmebulock) Cernan felt he needed to improve his presentation of his holy work for the goddess Arabeth. He wanted to share his story, that of our team, and Arabeth's miracles and hope. This was driven home after the defeat of Grasti, witch paladin of the selfish death goddess Amanita. The event freed the city of Alador from the tyranny and destruction that Amanita had planned. It also restored the rightful ruler, Alphonse to the throne. So, Cernan tutored under Alphonse to learn poise and presentation, as well as under Chief Priest Kam practicing preaching and creating sermons with him. Then he toured with the local theater troupe to parctice sharing about the goddess who called him and what she's done. He feels that being inspiring is just putting on a performance, but perhaps one that is divinely touched.Deceased
