Epitaph

Droaamites have little love for the Church of the Silver Flame. The mission of the Church is to protect the innocent from supernatural evil, and throughout most of its history, the church has categorized many of the denizens of Droaam as supernatural evil. When templars have come to the frontier, they’ve usually been crusaders, driving “monsters” away from the lands of humans and their kin. Many—especially the extremist followers of the Pure Flame—still hold to these beliefs. But with the rise of Droaam as a nation, there are some in Thrane who believe that the Church needs to reevaluate this stance, to see if the denizens of Droaam are just as innocent as humanity.

Epitaph is a tiefling, touched by the power of Dolurrh. She has gray skin and pale eyes. Mist trails from her skin and hair, and those touched by these mists may hear the whispers of the dead. Epitaph was driven from her village as a child, and was raised in Rellekor—a sanctuary for tieflings established by the Church of the Silver Flame. This is part of what drives her; her kind were once considered monsters, but today she’s a servant of the Flame. She seeks to heal the wounds inflicted by past crusades and understand the people of Droaam. With that said, Epitaph knows that there is evil on the frontier. She believes that ogres and kobolds may be able to find a path to the Flame, but the Cults of the Dragon Below and the servants of the Horned King threaten everyone. Epitaph travels across the frontier, offering aid to those in need and searching for these greater evils. She has the base abilities of a Priest (with the added traits of a Dolurrhi Tiefling while significant, she can’t overcome the greatest threats of the frontier on her own. She may offer assistance to adventurers she encounters, or ask for assistance with threats she’s uncovered.
