Player Character

Reverend Irving Fishbourne is a notable figure hailing from the distinguished House of Fishbourne, a venerable lineage of Firbolg nobles renowned for their sacred lineage and adeptness in hunting creatures of the night within The Stillwoods and the undulating hills of Avalon. The Fishbourne family's legacy is steeped in the practice of wielding their native Firbolg abilities to combat a myriad of sinister entities, including ghouls, hags, and lycanthropes, that threaten the lives of the creatures residing in the region. Born into this lineage of holy men and monster hunters, Reverend Fishbourne's life was forever altered when tragedy struck his family. The untimely demise of his parents, inflicted by an elusive forest-bound spirit, left him burdened with a dwindling inheritance and a decaying household. Plunged into the depths of poverty, Irving's path took an unexpected turn as he ventured into the fringes of society and found his calling as a witch hunter, combating supernatural threats that lurked in the shadows.

Fishbourne's journey took a pivotal turn when he received a summons from King Balder Stonefist, who required the unique skills of the Fishbourne family to address a matter of utmost importance. Tasked with expunging the city of the menace posed by the wicked Esmerelda Honning, a Green Hag whose malevolent actions reverberated through the realm, Reverend Fishbourne was called upon to uphold the legacy of his ancestors in service to the crown. Collaborating with an adventuring group known as The Sunsations, Fishbourne's journey led him to confront the Hag Esmerelda and subsequently join forces with the outlanders to unravel a series of complex events.

Throughout his odyssey, Reverend Fishbourne has been a steadfast companion to the Sunsations, standing with them as they navigated treacherous quests, including the resurrection of Verdan, the salvation of the Stillwood Forest, the fulfillment of the Earthen Rites, a climactic battle against Avatar Terra, and a voyage to the Avalone to gain profound insights into the wisdom of the world. A defining moment in Fishbourne's narrative came with the reclamation of his ancestral estate, the Fishbourne Manor, after his instrumental role in vanquishing Esmerelda. With the manor restored to his name, Fishbourne envisions transforming it into an orphanage to provide a haven for local children once he retires from his adventurous pursuits. Reverend Irving Fishbourne's saga is one of resilience, duty, and valor, a tale woven through the intricate threads of Firbolg heritage and an unwavering commitment to defending The Earth Realm from the forces of darkness.

Farewell to Fishbourne

Avalon

Reverend Irving Fishbourne, upon the culmination of a profound journey alongside The Sunsations, found himself at a crossroads of destiny as they reached the quaint yet historically rich city of Avalon. Following the awakening and understanding gleaned from the Earthstone, a deep-rooted calling reverberated through Fishbourne's being, guiding him towards a noble endeavor that transcended the thrill of adventure. The Fishbourne Manor, a once grandiose estate now reclaimed from the clutches of darkness, beckoned as the cornerstone for a benevolent vision.

As the band's airship touched down on the idyllic shores of Avalon, under the morning sun, the moment of parting was upon them. Amidst heartfelt farewells and the silent promise of paths crossing again, Reverend Fishbourne imparted his final blessings upon his comrades Shanara the Salamander, Anvel Tyrson, Professor Henry Endsworth, Captain Aureliusand Brick. With eyes gleaming with unshed tears of camaraderie and gratitude, they bid adieu to the venerable Firbolg, whose companionship had been a beacon of hope and valor in the darkest of hours. With Avalon's rolling hills as a backdrop to this poignant farewell, Fishbourne embarked on his final voyage in life, steering his course towards the familiar yet now transformed halls of Fishbourne Manor. With a heart full of memories and a soul kindled with the flames of altruism, his vision to transmute the ancient manor into a sanctuary of hope for the displaced and orphaned children of his home city began to take root.
