Multiple warlocks are fine, so if thats what you want, submit that. However, there is no waterdeep any longer. The entire world has been reshaped after "the Rending". Your characters do not know much about the new world, as all of them have been cloistered for training from a young age by the Archfey.
If you're still recruiting, I'd like to try and build something. Will roll some ability scores and work off of that first.
Ability scores: 11141215141113
Name: Freyil Race: Eladrin Class: Bard Background: Entertainer Backstory: In the dark and dreary times, this descendant of the Feywild spends her long life in her spring form mostly. She has made it her task to bring a smile to as many faces as she can, taking the profession of a bard to inspire and bring happiness into the bleak and dreary areas of this world. A bit of a prankster of the family she grew up with, but never really hated, she has managed to hone her talents to keep her friends in a good mood. Special Item: Freyil owns one heirloom from her Feywild heritage, a small wooden box that has within is a seed of an unknown tree and some fertile soil. She wishes to find a place on her travels that will benefit from the tree, as she will plant it to a place she will swear to return to when it is fully grown.
Special Item: Gilnur carries a ring - with a gem of stormy blue topaz - of unknown origin which his gemcrafting clan came across in their trading. Unable to determine the magic within the gem, his clan elders set the stone in a gold setting with runes that hold whatever magics at bay. Gilnur has been given the task to determine the nature of the gem.
pokepaladdy: The background is cool, but it is not really in line with the requirements of the start of the story.
I apologize, I didnt realize my initial post did not take the edits.
All of the characters were chosen by the various Archfey at an early age and cloistered within the Moonshade Isle's where the Feywild presence is still the strongest. You were all specifically chosen by various archfey to be trained for a specific mission in mind. Now, at the age of 25, you are all deemed ready for this mission (which is why you are starting at level 6. Heavy training directly under archfey).
You all have 1 special item from your past, or given to you during your training by someone important, or the Archfey themselves.

Amended slightly to adapt into the above. Rather than being with a travelling caravan, she was the more adept but a bit of a goof-off of the group.
If you go back and try to edit it again you will likely find the changes there. If so, you can just add a blank line at the end of the post and it should be there.
How many years have we been training with the archfey?
As to training with the Archfey, a good deal of time. I said you would all be 25, but realistically, if you wish to be older, that is fine, you would have still been somewhat isolated within the lands you are from, as the world has just been completely rocked. So if you are older then 25, that is fine, but you would have spent at least 20 years training with them if you are older. None of you can be older then 100 though, because you all would have had to have been born into the world stabilizing, so as to only know the world as it is after the Rending.
I found the edits and added it to the initial post. I am sorry for the goof up everyone! Lots of info in it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
If you're still recruiting I'm totally down for this. I'll post my character in a bit once I roll my scores, but I was thinking about doing a rendition of my namesake, Rhigs the kobold rogue. I've got a concept for just about any class though, so if we need something else let me know.

Name: Rhigs ( ddb.ac/characters/6318720/usjO9t )
Class: Thief Rogue
Item: a wide-brimed hat decorated with ostrich feathers
Name: Jorin Maul - https://ddb.ac/characters/5454561/asGiZu Race: Variant Human Class: 1 Fighter, 5 Barbarian Background: Clan Crafter Backstory: Jorin comes from a family of blacksmiths that made weapons and equipment for their clan. He was gripping a forge hammer from the time he had the strength to lift it and had already learned many of the fundamentals of forge work before the Archfey recruited him at the age of nine. For the last twenty years, the Archfey continued his education in blacksmithing as well as in the ways of wielding the blades he wrought. Jorin is now a man with a jovial disposition, eager to test his mettle (and metal) in battle. Good friends, good drink, and a good blade are what makes him happy. Special Item: Jorin carries two, single bladed battleaxes. One is a well made, but otherwise ordinary axe. It has a keen edge and a worn leather wrapped haft. The other is Sarrin, forged by Jorin's own hand as the capstone project for his training with the Archfey. He crafted it with all of the techniques he learned, imbuing it with power from the shadowfell itself.
Though there is not a true Pantheon any longer, there are Archfey that rule over the land. Here is the list of them. (For anyone that wants to Warlock)
With the Death of the higher Planar Deities, Titans, etc. and them being bestowed with additional cosmic power, they are expanding their court when needed to fight off additional threats and expand their portfolio. Here are the current Archfey

They dont have to. They operate the same as any other spell caster. You can learn from them/serve them if you wish. In this case, your character would have been taught by one of them directly though. It explains why you are such exceptional characters.

Oh man, this is a lot more info, lol! I'll give it a read and amend my submission if needed.
Yeah, for some reason, it did not post when I created it for some reason.
I put it down to some glitch/bug on the system. Had that issue before personally. Think my quick amendment should work to fit into the lore better :-)
If you're still recruiting I'm totally down for this. I'll post my character in a bit once I roll my scores, but I was thinking about doing a rendition of my namesake, Rhigs the kobold rogue. I've got a concept for just about any class though, so if we need something else let me know.

Can I play?
I have not made any decisions as of yet, so please feel free to submit.
:SUBMIT:
Do clerics serve these archfey as well?
They dont have to. They operate the same as any other spell caster. You can learn from them/serve them if you wish. In this case, your character would have been taught by one of them directly though. It explains why you are such exceptional characters.
