In a small, fertile valley in the northwest of the Cliffkeep Mountains is a small village founded by Tal’Dorei homesteaders just ten years ago. This simple settlement of Reaching Bluff is inhabited by hardy folk seeking new places to mine gold and iron from the earth. Many unpleasant exiles from Kraghammer have joined them, so while this village has a charming, rustic atmosphere, few travelers stay for long. The hostility toward outsiders is palpable to all.
This insular attitude has only grown more hostile following the discovery of a gleaming dodecahedron about the size of a human head. One of the miners who unearthed it found that her pickaxe barely scratched its surface—and when struck, it began emanating a radiant, internal golden glow. This mystical object was returned to the village foredwarf, and before the day was out, all the villagers had learned of it. The people of Reaching Bluff call it the Lost Beacon of Unknown Light, and worship it as a god.
This is a place where if you go, you go for a reason. What reason could your characters possibly have for traveling to such a remote place? Are they on the run and want to get as far away from civilization as possible? Perhaps you are an adventure sent to investigate the sight of giantkin in alarming numbers starting to make movements. Were you sent by the Ashari of Terrah or the other three tribes to investigate this Lost Beacon of Unknown Light? Or perhaps you were sent from another continent all together where the tales of such a beacon sparked interested in a certain Dynasty? whatever the reason, this seemingly insignificant village will be remembered as one of the sparks to light a great fuse. One of many pebbles that will unleash a rumbling. The Rumbling.
Alright, you will be starting at lv 3 and rolling for stats. Your stats must have a combined total of 72 with at least one score being a 15 or higher. You re roll until both requirements are met. 2024 rules will be used but your stats and starting feat wont be determined by your background. You can choose those as you see fit. It is one of the few things about the new rules I don't like. Post application here as mentioned below.
I hope to make a campaign where we can have fun and hopefully become a group for future adventures and junk.

"They told me they would help me. That they would help me understand my powers... And learn how to use them so i could help people. They told me if i served the Benevolent Emperor God it was for the greater good... For everyone... But they lied to me. It was all lies... Everything was a lie."
As a young girl she was taken off the streets and taken in by the order of Benevolent Light. But the order was a front for a cult that worshiped Bane. When finding this out she escaped and told the authorities about them. But she was imprisoned for suspicion of being an agent of the cult. After weeks of interrogations she was released without being charged with any crimes. But the authorities are still watching her from the shadows as does the cult. The latter was proven when they sent an assassin after her. She bested the assassin but she knows there are more out there. Today she is on constant move and does the best she can to remain unnoticed. But that is difficult because of how her power manifests and her inclination to help others in need.
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?
Escaped a murderous cult and its members trying to kill her. Endured captivity and grueling interrogations bordering on torture. Tracked down and killed an assassin that was trying to kill her.

Name: Lokerias Smiðr(Pronounced Smeed-thur)
Race: Tiefling
Class: Artificer
Bio(Didn't think this needed to be said but try for a decent paragraph or two):
Born to a noble family of Ravnica(using the Izzet Engineer background I can change the location if you’d like) Lokerias should have been promised a simple and straightforward life however due to his unseemly appearance, likely due to an ancestor’s greed, he was cast out to the streets when he was only a child left to fend for himself. Rejected by his parents and society at large it seemed that he was fated to either die in the gutter or become another common street rat, however fate had other plans. Lokerias was taken in by a kindly old engineer and shown the beauty of creation and invention. Spending his childhood and most of his formative years working and studying alongside his adopted father Lokerias developed skills on par with some of the engineers a fair few years ahead of him, but still Lokerias wasn’t satisfied. He needed to prove, both to the parents who had rejected him and himself, that he was worth more than the gutter he was thrown in, he needed something that would bring him fame and fortune. That’s when tales of the strange dodecahedron reached him, perhaps this object contained some kind of fantastic power, one not yet utilized properly, and what if there were more like it? Lokerias departs to discover this for himself and find a way to not only change the world, but put himself on the map.
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?:
Tinkered with a hunting rifle he bought for cheap from a hunter he met on his travels so it now shoots condensed bursts of air(Can change to a musket or crossbow if you prefer), performed a few roadside experiments on an abandoned belt pouch so it now connects to a small pocket dimension(bag of holding made using an artificer infusion) though incredibly useful its proving rather difficult to imitate, and developed the Lokerias Automated Defender or L.A.D. for short an automated sentry that follows Lokerias's direct command and assists him with his research and with his encounters among the increasingly surly locals
Things you or your character want to do or experience:
Research the dodecahedron and what its properties are and make a name for himself along with acquiring a small fortune...
(If you don't like the character just let me know, I also have a High Elf Druid and an Aasimar Paladin I can tinker with)

Name: Faerna (means "Vow of Spirits")
-Discarded last name to escape family ties, but family/House name is (Alean'neld, "The Noble Line of the arcane")
Race: Drow
Class: Cleric (Grave Domain, probably)
Bio(Didn't think this needed to be said but try for a decent paragraph or two):
Born the second daughter to the Alean'neld House in the Kryn Dynasty, her life was, at a glance, perfect. Noble title and prestige, just from coming from a line of capable mages. But the truth was much darker. Her mother, the Matron, Akorue (means "Beloved Artisan"), was slowly become obsessed with the family's power in the Dynasty. No one quite knows how it started, but she became consumed by dark thoughts and twisted dreams, pushing herself and her children to darker magics and harsher training, all for the sake of obtaining more glory for the Alean'neld House, and by extension, herself. Faerna watched as a young child, confused and terrified of her own mother, who became her tormentor. failed a task? Locked in a dark room with no food. Stepped out of line? The same punishment.
Perhaps it was her mind finally breaking, but shortly after Faerna reached her 100th year, something tore her family apart. As she was locked away again for punishment, she herself did not bear witness, but it was rumored that a dark ritual gone wrong led to the House's collapse. Dark tendrils, monsters and fiends of all sorts were unleashed, and Faerna found herself on death's door, corned by the monstrosities unleashed by the witch called "mother". But she did not die. A woman cloaked in black came to her, drawn by her suffering, her memories. Drapped in black feathers and shadow, she whispered to her follow, and so this Drow, barely of age, did so.
Faerna now 112, wanders the wilds alone, learning the magic this Goddess, for she must be one, and trying to find a place in this world. She has thrown away her family name and stalks the twilight as her lady bids- to exterminate the unholy, the undead. To guard the passage of life and death, and to learn what role she has to play in time's wheel of fate. Such is the orders of her true mother, the Raven Queen,
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?:
Faerna often tends to the dying and performs funeral rites for those who had no will or testament to guide local clergy and family. She tends to those who are not yet ready to pass on and exterminates the undead as her Lady wishes. All this wandering and living fully in her newfound clerical skills for over a decade has led to some growth in her abilities.
Things you or your character want to do or experience:
I want to experience some fun times, suspenseful moments, and have some laughs (and maybe tears) with some cool people.
Faerna probably just wants a nap, and to pretend everything that happened with her family was nothing but a dream. and to follow her Lady, of course :)

Name: Chamomile Tea
Race: Warforged
Class: likely a Sorcerer or Bard, leaning towards a support build
Bio(Didn't think this needed to be said but try for a decent paragraph or two): Chamomile Tea is a warforged built with a tradition in mind. Something old, something new, something burrowed. Their creator, an inventor created Chamomile from an old body of a previous warforged, discarded and defunct, fusing it was Arcane life, burrowed power from a bio-material connection and was given new purpose. Chamomile was made for the purpose of serving and protecting their ward.
Whilst on the surface, Chamomile is a loyal servant and friend, following their wards goals and ambitions. Chamomile's memories sometimes get mixed up, it is believed that the memory of the previous recycled warforge aren't entirely gone. Whatever this warforged was in the past, it seems to compel Chamomile to search for an old relic.
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?: Has protected their ward successfully from assassin's and other dangerous through their entire upbringing.
Things you or your character want to do or experience: An internal conflict that forces them to make the right choices.

Name: Dain Greenforge
Race: Dwarf
Class: Druid
Bio(Didn't think this needed to be said but try for a decent paragraph or two):
Dain grew up in the deep mountain halls where his family were renowned smiths, but he always felt the pull of something beyond hammer and forge. As a young dwarf, he would sneak away to explore the caverns where luminescent fungi grew in the eternal darkness, and later venture to high mountain meadows where he would bask in the moonlight.
The turning point came when he discovered an ancient grove hidden in a valley between two peaks—a place where dwarven standing stones stood among ancient oaks, suggesting his ancestors once honored both craft and nature. Under the full moon in this sacred space, Dain felt the wilds call to him; the feel of the wind, and the smells it brought to him, the sounds of birds chirping, bears grumbling and wolves howling. He knew he didn't belong in a cavern or at a forge, but out in the wilderness, under the moon.
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?: Dain has mostly wandered the wilderness, looking to help people and animals where he can. During a previous winter, he'd managed to seal off a cave entrance being used by a white dragon, which had moved into an area used by wolves to hunt, and scared them off. Sealing the entrance forced the dragon to relocate, and the wolves moved back into their hunting grounds.
Things you or your character want to do or experience: Dain wanders from one point to the next, so all of life is an experience for him. He just wants to be of some help wherever he is.
In a small, fertile valley in the northwest of the Cliffkeep Mountains is a small village founded by Tal’Dorei homesteaders just ten years ago. This simple settlement of Reaching Bluff is inhabited by hardy folk seeking new places to mine gold and iron from the earth.

Name: Lokerias Smiðr(Pronounced Smeed-thur)
Race: Tiefling
Class: Artificer
Bio(Didn't think this needed to be said but try for a decent paragraph or two):
Born to a noble family of Ravnica(using the Izzet Engineer background I can change the location if you’d like) Lokerias should have been promised a simple and straightforward life however due to his unseemly appearance, likely due to an ancestor’s greed, he was cast out to the streets when he was only a child left to fend for himself. Rejected by his parents and society at large it seemed that he was fated to either die in the gutter or become another common street rat, however fate had other plans. Lokerias was taken in by a kindly old engineer and shown the beauty of creation and invention. Spending his childhood and most of his formative years working and studying alongside his adopted father Lokerias developed skills on par with some of the engineers a fair few years ahead of him, but still Lokerias wasn’t satisfied. He needed to prove, both to the parents who had rejected him and himself, that he was worth more than the gutter he was thrown in, he needed something that would bring him fame and fortune. That’s when tales of the strange dodecahedron reached him, perhaps this object contained some kind of fantastic power, one not yet utilized properly, and what if there were more like it? Lokerias departs to discover this for himself and find a way to not only change the world, but put himself on the map.
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?:
Tinkered with a hunting rifle he bought for cheap from a hunter he met on his travels so it now shoots condensed bursts of air(Can change to a musket or crossbow if you prefer), performed a few roadside experiments on an abandoned belt pouch so it now connects to a small pocket dimension(bag of holding made using an artificer infusion) though incredibly useful its proving rather difficult to imitate, and developed the Lokerias Automated Defender or L.A.D. for short an automated sentry that follows Lokerias's direct command and assists him with his research and with his encounters among the increasingly surly locals
Things you or your character want to do or experience:
Research the dodecahedron and what its properties are and make a name for himself along with acquiring a small fortune...
(If you don't like the character just let me know, I also have a High Elf Druid and an Aasimar Paladin I can tinker with)

Name: Faerna (means "Vow of Spirits")
-Discarded last name to escape family ties, but family/House name is (Alean'neld, "The Noble Line of the arcane")
Race: Drow
Class: Cleric (Grave Domain, probably)
Bio(Didn't think this needed to be said but try for a decent paragraph or two):
Born the second daughter to the Alean'neld House in the Kryn Dynasty, her life was, at a glance, perfect. Noble title and prestige, just from coming from a line of capable mages. But the truth was much darker. Her mother, the Matron, Akorue (means "Beloved Artisan"), was slowly become obsessed with the family's power in the Dynasty. No one quite knows how it started, but she became consumed by dark thoughts and twisted dreams, pushing herself and her children to darker magics and harsher training, all for the sake of obtaining more glory for the Alean'neld House, and by extension, herself. Faerna watched as a young child, confused and terrified of her own mother, who became her tormentor. failed a task? Locked in a dark room with no food. Stepped out of line? The same punishment.
Perhaps it was her mind finally breaking, but shortly after Faerna reached her 100th year, something tore her family apart. As she was locked away again for punishment, she herself did not bear witness, but it was rumored that a dark ritual gone wrong led to the House's collapse. Dark tendrils, monsters and fiends of all sorts were unleashed, and Faerna found herself on death's door, corned by the monstrosities unleashed by the witch called "mother". But she did not die. A woman cloaked in black came to her, drawn by her suffering, her memories. Drapped in black feathers and shadow, she whispered to her follow, and so this Drow, barely of age, did so.
Faerna now 112, wanders the wilds alone, learning the magic this Goddess, for she must be one, and trying to find a place in this world. She has thrown away her family name and stalks the twilight as her lady bids- to exterminate the unholy, the undead. To guard the passage of life and death, and to learn what role she has to play in time's wheel of fate. Such is the orders of her true mother, the Raven Queen,
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?:
Faerna often tends to the dying and performs funeral rites for those who had no will or testament to guide local clergy and family. She tends to those who are not yet ready to pass on and exterminates the undead as her Lady wishes. All this wandering and living fully in her newfound clerical skills for over a decade has led to some growth in her abilities.
Things you or your character want to do or experience:
I want to experience some fun times, suspenseful moments, and have some laughs (and maybe tears) with some cool people.
Faerna probably just wants a nap, and to pretend everything that happened with her family was nothing but a dream. and to follow her Lady, of course :)

Name: Chamomile Tea
Race: Warforged
Class: likely a Sorcerer or Bard, leaning towards a support build
Bio(Didn't think this needed to be said but try for a decent paragraph or two): Chamomile Tea is a warforged built with a tradition in mind. Something old, something new, something burrowed. Their creator, an inventor created Chamomile from an old body of a previous warforged, discarded and defunct, fusing it was Arcane life, burrowed power from a bio-material connection and was given new purpose. Chamomile was made for the purpose of serving and protecting their ward.
Whilst on the surface, Chamomile is a loyal servant and friend, following their wards goals and ambitions. Chamomile's memories sometimes get mixed up, it is believed that the memory of the previous recycled warforge aren't entirely gone. Whatever this warforged was in the past, it seems to compel Chamomile to search for an old relic.
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?: Has protected their ward successfully from assassin's and other dangerous through their entire upbringing.
Things you or your character want to do or experience: An internal conflict that forces them to make the right choices.

Name: Dain Greenforge
Race: Dwarf
Class: Druid
Bio(Didn't think this needed to be said but try for a decent paragraph or two):
Dain grew up in the deep mountain halls where his family were renowned smiths, but he always felt the pull of something beyond hammer and forge. As a young dwarf, he would sneak away to explore the caverns where luminescent fungi grew in the eternal darkness, and later venture to high mountain meadows where he would bask in the moonlight.
The turning point came when he discovered an ancient grove hidden in a valley between two peaks—a place where dwarven standing stones stood among ancient oaks, suggesting his ancestors once honored both craft and nature. Under the full moon in this sacred space, Dain felt the wilds call to him; the feel of the wind, and the smells it brought to him, the sounds of birds chirping, bears grumbling and wolves howling. He knew he didn't belong in a cavern or at a forge, but out in the wilderness, under the moon.
Anything noteworthy your character has done to get to lv 3?: Dain has mostly wandered the wilderness, looking to help people and animals where he can. During a previous winter, he'd managed to seal off a cave entrance being used by a white dragon, which had moved into an area used by wolves to hunt, and scared them off. Sealing the entrance forced the dragon to relocate, and the wolves moved back into their hunting grounds.
Things you or your character want to do or experience: Dain wanders from one point to the next, so all of life is an experience for him. He just wants to be of some help wherever he is.
