Welcome to the Lands of Arda

Fragments (Deities) Fragments (Deities)

Thirteen fragments, beings with vast power, originating from the Divine Realm, traveled to this newly found planet. These fragments, later known as the major gods, live in the Divine Realm together with other fragments. They called themselves fragments as they believe they all originated from one, all powerful being, that created all universes, but then split. The thirteen fragments were close like siblings and always did things together. The planet when it was found was barren, without life or magic, but it had potential. The one that was first to spot this new planet, named Arda, did not hesitate to detach herself from the Divine Realm and imbue with the planet to give it life and magic. That was seen as a great sacrifice by the other twelve, who knew that their sibling Arda would not be able to return until this planet is no more.

The twelve gods split into three groups, which were later known as Gold (Good), Silver (Evil) and Emerald (Neutral). The groups stayed the same, except from three changes. Dominaria switched from Gold to Silver, Iskar from Emerald to Gold and Oromne from Silver to Emerald. The exact dates of those changes are largely unknown but they are approximated at the end of 1st Era or the early centuries of the 2nd.

From that change and onwards no shifts have been reported. The groups are as following:


Gold (Good)Silver (Evil)Emerald (Neutral)

Maldos

Zeriax

Vermillion

Andralte

Dominaria

Refelia

Iskar

Krevor

Laia

Luthien

Izalith

Oromne

Besides the twelve major fragments, lesser fragments travelled to the world of Arda for various reasons. Other seeking to gain followers, other intrigued by events, other simply by curiosity, others banished from their previous worlds or other seeking refuge from forces that want them perished. These Lesser fragments are not as powerful as the twelve gods and cannot sustain themselves by feeding from multiple plains. They are also referred as "local gods" and such local communities or events is what feeds them. They full extent of their power varies, but many estimate them to be equally strong as the first dragons. Lesser fragments are not widely known, even though they'd wish to be. Even if they could be amassing a large amount of followers, they prefer to be more subtle, to not incur the wrath of major fragments for stealing their energy. Some of the Lesser Fragments work as Patrons, offer power to individuals known as warlocks, in exchange of tasks or worship.

Garak Garak

Overview

[Type below:] Write a short (around 100 words) overview of who your character is. Content, written in orange letters like this, will not be visible when you are done. It's simply there to provide guidance]

Garak is a changeling Bard, was born and raised in the grim confines of Outcast Island, a place where all changelings were exiled to hundreds of years ago. It was a prison of its own, an isolated sanctuary for those deemed untrustworthy and dangerous by the rest of the world. For the past several hundred years, Changelings have been subjected to endless oppression, prejudice, and mistrust, confined to their island without any hope of leaving.

Early Life

[Type below:] Where did your character grow up? What place do they call "home" now? (could be the same or different.) [75 words max] The locations don't have to be named. It can be described. Growing up locations play a role on what your character knows about the area. Some races might have specific locations they came from. If uncertain, ask the DM.
Garak grew up in the Faceless City, the largest city on Outcast Island and still lives there today.
[Type below:] Who raised your character and how? What are these people doing now? [75 words max] name at least 2 characters, preferably 3-4, that played an important role in your upbringing. 
Garak was raised by his parents, Mirren and Elara.  They were both executed when Garak was 25 when attempting to board a ship bound for Unified Caldar. 
[Type below:] How did your attribute scores affect your character? [175 words max] How did your strengths and weaknesses formed your life? For instance, did a 20 STR push you into manual labor, as you could handle it easily? Did a low CON make you often sick and had to travel to the capital for medicine? Did a high CHA make it easy to make friends?
Garak was never one for manual labor.  He focused on his many academic studies, and of course his Viol when his studies allowed for it.  He can also be impulsive and at other times aloof as if lost in thought.  He could make friends quite easily, but maintaining close friendships has been very difficult. 


Defining Events

[Type below:] What your character doing in recent years before the campaign's start? [75 words max] In the last 2–3 years, what had your character been doing?
Garak was drawn to the criminal underbelly of society, an environment that offered both danger and opportunity. He found his niche as a "fixer" – a person who could provide solutions to problems, often through means that skirted legality. He became an expert in acquiring and selling valuable information, forging documents, and facilitating discreet transactions.
[Type below:] What motivated your character to leave their previous lifestyle and become adventurers? [120 words max] Nobody decides to endanger themselves without good reason. Were you forced to leave your previous lifestyle? What happened that changed you from a safe job, like a farmer, to an adventurer?
When Garak learned of Monday's proposal, he jumped at the chance to escape.  This could change much more than his own life, but could bring freedom to his people.
[Type below:] What short/long term goals does your character have? [75 words max] If the world continued in its peaceful state, what would you'd be working towards for?
In the short term, Garak plans to make himself invaluble to Monday.  Along the way he hopes to throw the world into chaos and make it a better place for all changelings.

[175 words max] communicate with the other players and create two positive connections with two other player characters. Could have been friendship, coworkers, family relation or any relation that results in some degree of trust
Xavier has been a reliable resource on several jobs, he has always delivered.  Garak finds Xavier's devotion to his god humorus.  Usually only the uneducated get roped in by such non-sense.  Garak has used Matthias on occasion to get rid of an item.  However, he prefers to deal in secrets and information over something as common as gold.
[Type below:] Name an agreement you have made to another player character that you would honor. [75 words max] Communicate and agree on what agreement your character has made to one of the two other characters (you have connections to), that you wouldn't break.
