Who is the Green Regent?
Shieldmeet 1372 DR
A Fellowship Rises
Calendar
Ages Past
The identity of the first Green Regent
is lost to the passage of time, but it is suspected that Mielikki did not first
designate her champions until humans spread across the Savage Frontier from
Illuskan. As Melikki's faith grew, she selected several Green Regents from the
1150 DR – Year of the Scourge
Plague throughout the
Calishite Rensha family takes over Delimbiyr Vale.
Rensha ban the practice of selecting new scions at Shieldmeet and hunt the Green Regent down as a threat to their power. After several years of this persecution, the Green Regent disappears for well over a century.
1288 DR – Year of the Roaring Horn
Pasuuk, the last Rensha Lord, commands a group of skilled mercenary hunters to bring him the horn of a unicorn.
The hunters track down and corner a unicorn. Nanathlar Greysword raises
his blade to kill the beast but his heart breaks when he looks into its eyes.
He vowes to defend it against all that would despoil it.
Nanathlar and twelve of his fellow hunters overthrow their captain. Upon doing so, the glowing symbol of the Scions of the Green Regent appears on each of their foreheads, and the telltale marks of the Green Regent slither up Nanathlar’s body. The unicorn reveals itself as an avatar of Mielikki, and tasks the thirteen hunters with ridding the vale of the horrible Rensha blight.
1290 DR – Year of the Whelm
Two winters of fierce battles
raged between the ragtag forces of the Green Regent and Pasuuk's
diabolical regime. The War of the Returned Regent ends in 1290DR at the Battle
of Tanglefork where Nanathlar calls upon the power of his goddess to turn the
very trees against Pasuuk. Pasuuk unleashes a coven of devils upon the servants
of Mielikki, but the awakened trees utterly destroy Pasuuk
and his fiendish allies, and scatters their remains like ordure. And
that is why the soil of those woods is now as black as
Nanathlar Greysword assumes rulership of Loudwater and brings a new era of prosperous rule to the Delimbiyr Vale.
1347 DR – Year of the Bright Blade
Kalahar
Twohands made Green Regent.
Cultists of Talos summon a living storm that
brings devestation to Llorkh and Orlbar.
Kalahar leads a coterie of scions into the terrible storm and against the cult.
After a fierce fight in the raging thunderstorm on a mountain top, Kalahar and
the scions reverse the summoning spell that binds the tempest to Faerûn. With
their leaders slain and their plot undone, the cult scatters.
1369 DR – Year of the Guantlet
Blood red moon rises over the Delimbiyr Vale. Malarites erupt from the High Forest
in a frenzy of hunting and killing. For the next three nights, the lycanthropes
hunt, breaking into houses and driving out the fear-stricken citizens of Loudwater and
smaller homesteads around the city. The folk of the City of

Marzut
Marzut was the fifth Rensha lord, and an alienist. The strangest of the
old Rensha lords, Marzut was said to be brilliant, but insane, and deeply cold
and cruel. No one knows how he died. It is said he just faded away into
nothingness.
Mekat Zrinn
A
Zhent ranger that was leading a small band of Black Moon orcs in raids against
the Red
Stag orcs. He
was killed on 26 Eleasis 1372 AR by an arrow through the head from the bow of
Alera Rant.
Mishbah
The second Rensha lord of Loudwater spent his life violently repressing the last of the
resistance to his family’s rule. He did so by sheer ruthlessness. Misbah was a
charming buffoon in his youth, but later in life became a crude manipulator of
people and luck. Many think he made a deal with a powerful devil, selling his
soul for better fortune. Whatever good luck he gained in the bargain ran out
one day; he died in a freak riding accident when he was only in his early
thirties.
Nuial Treestrider
Male Half-Elf Bard
Scion of the Green Regent
Nuial is a bard
hailing from Loudwater.
He performs at the many taverns and local venues. He has sandy blond hair and
hazel eyes, and dresses in powder blue tunic and seafoam green hose. A dagger
rests at his belt, and he carries a beautifully crafted lyre. Nuial is a city-lover
and has no interest in pursuing adventure outside of Loudwater. Nuial met with the Heroes on 5 Elient 1372 DR, just before their journey into the High Forest
and saving of the sacred grove.

Ressik is the
quick-witted and sharp-tongued son of two bards from different backgrounds. His human father Cael Stormcloud of the Moonshae Isles and his
mother a drow priestess of Eilistraee. To avoid persacution, Ressik was raised
in mostly in Silverymoon, and began travelling with his father at a young age. To
avoid problems with local authorities, Ressik will not divulge his true
heritage. Instead he will use his knowledge of other lands and fabricate a more
pleasing tale of ancestry or lie outright.

Stedd Rein
Male Human Fighter
Leader of the Red
Fellowship
Stedd was the
favorite for Green Regent but was denied
even Scion status. He has formed his own company of mercenaries and adventurers—The
Red Fellowship. He seeks to bring law and order to the city of Loudwater and to increase
its standing in the region.
Szetril
Female Human
Cleric of Bane
A
blonde, attractive, but cold-eyed woman. Szetril was killed by the Heroes on 27 Eleasis
1372 DR when they found her working on necromatic experiments in Jergal’s Cairn.
Szorn the Red
Male Human
Barbarian from Sembia
5'10" tall,
165 pounds, black hair, black eyes.
Member of the Heroes. With them since
they formed in the Tenday after Shieldmeet 1372 DR.
Szorn was captured
by Mind Flayers on 17 Eleasis 1372 DR.
Szorn was born
into slavery, by Sembian slave breeder who specialized in producing warrior
slaves. His mother was purchased from a slave trader from Mulharond, but she
did not survive child birth. Szorn, even as a child, proved to be too stubborn
and hot-tempered for any master to keep as a servant, so his master put him in
the arena.
There he quickly
adapted and over the years excelled as a warrior, exhibiting prowess that made
him indespensible. His dual sword fighting style along with a frenzied lust for
battle was very intimidating to other opponents. He had grown accustom to his
life but never accepted it, and on one fateful night his master's rivals had
finally come against him. The palace was stormed by a hundred armed soldiers
who killed any resistance they came across and captured any slaves.
Realizing his one
chance, Szorn gathered a few of the other slaves and together they were able to
escape the slaughter with a bit of treasure and flee into the country side,
where they parted ways. He knew he must get as far from Sembia as possible and
so he made his way west, hiring himself out as a sword-for-hire when he could.
Szorn is not a traditional barbarian, meaning he was not born to a wild clan.
He is barbarian due to his personal disposition and slave upbringing. While not
lawful, Szorn is honorable in that he lives by his on code of morales, which do
not always parallel society's as a whole.
Szorn is calous
and hot-tempered, he wears a closed face helm to conceal his slave tatoo
markings. To those who do not know him, he explains only that he was horribly
burned by wizard's fire. He would readily die rather than become
a slave again and opposes any who traffic slaves such as the Zhentarim.

Moon Elf Ranger
from the High
Forest
Female,
5'6" tall, 130 pounds, silver-blue hair, dark blue eyes.
Member
of the Heroes. With them since they formed in the Tenday after
Shieldmeet 1372 DR.
Teal was captured
by Mind Flayers on 17 Eleasis 1372 DR.
Teal is a pleasant
looking elf with what others call a natural beauty. She has bright dark blue
eyes that seem to pierce you when she's mad and mid-back length, light
silver-blue hair that she keeps neatly stacked on top of her head. At 5 feet 6
inches tall she is tall for an elven woman and was teased for her height when
she was young. Teal Phier is very good-humored for a Ranger. She is known to
use her witty banter on all, even in battle. Her humor takes a snide and
sarcastic edge if she doesn't like you or doesn't like the decision you've
made. However, she is very serious about her nightly prayers and will be sour
if she is forced to skip them. Teal can be very loyal to those she considers
friends, but does not give her true friendship to just anyone.
Teal was born and
raised in a prominent High
Forest elven family of 3 brothers. In a struggle to
compete with her skilled brothers she was known as a "tom boy", much
to her fathers chagrin. In spite of her father's disapproval
of her unfeminine pursuits. Teal continued to learn and refine her
skills from her brothers. At 85 years she could take her father's disapproval
no longer and left her family to train with the Gray Cloak Rangers. Despite her
training with the Gray Cloak Rangers she continued worshiping the Goddess
Mielikki and is to this day overly attached to a golden unicorn necklace that
was given to her by the leader of the ranger band, Respen Moonmist, which was
many years later killed in a great battle against an undead uprising. Teal
found a family and kinship she had never known with the Gray Cloak Rangers, but
after the death of Respen she grew weary of their "cloak and dagger"
life-style and left the team of rangers to adventure on her own, but she still
wears the gray cloak and cloak broach of the band of rangers.
Teal has traveled
to Loadwater because of Miekikki and to watch the festival, but did not think
herself worthy to drink from the chalice. However, since an orc has become Green Regent she suspects foul
play and has decided to investigate.

Natives of Loudwater are considered to have
“The North” as their home region. Knowledge (local-The North) is used to
determine a character’s local knowledge.
Important Locales within the City include:
Merry Mer-She
At
night, this place is a tumult of loud music and frequent fights. It is not a
place to relax or hold a conversation, but rather a place requested by
adventurers with too much coin to spend, and not enough "adventure"
out of them. The beer is watery, and the stronger stuff is potent.
Merrymar's Merchandise
This squat and long building featuring a placard depicting its owner's smiling face is the only general merchandise store in Shining Falls, it's owned by Blaz Merrymar, and it is run by his family. His wife, Rinyon, actually runs the day-to-day business of the store along with her and Blaz's two daugeters, as Blaz gathers items to sell and (more often than not) investigates various get-rich-quick schemes. Currently he is obsessed with helping Gauntlet Fengrath find the dwarven complex that's rumored to lie in the caves behind the falls, an endeavor that Rinyon finds asinine at best. The Merrymar's have exclusive deals with all the craftmen in the town, that he and he only can sell merchandise to out-siders. It is an arrangement that works out nicely for all parities, as Merrymar is a keen judge of character, and has a knack for making sure that folks pay honest prices for goods ("you wouldn't be trying to swindle someone half your size would you?") and takes only a reasonable commission from his kin folk.
Orlbar
Village
Population: 812
Authority Figures: Lord Felishar Ivarzin
Description: Orlbar stands on the north bank
of the confluence of the Loagrann and
The place has been under Zhentarim rule for
the last five years, and that rule has taken an obvious toll on its populace.
Always a sleepy and backward community, the folks of Orlbar
are now more wary of outsiders then they have ever been in the past.
Just prior to the stating of the Oath of Orlbar,
a Loudwater-supported
uprising was put down in the village by the ruthless Zhentarim with the help of
Deldron Rein's traitorous daughter. The Zhents now control trade in the town
rigidly, and anyone who attempts to make unauthorized business deals is
imprisoned or disappeared. Worse yet, informants to such outside-of-the-law
dealings are handsomely rewarded, making the folks of Orlbar paranoid not only
of outsiders, but also of one another.
Red Boar Inn
Owned but not operated by Deldron Rein, this
inn is a popular meeting place for the human merchants and costermasters of Loudwater, and those who wish to be hired by them. In the inn's common room there
is a large pillar used by the human community to communicate events and ideas.
The pillar was made from the remains of a giant oak that the Rein forefathers
fell to build the inn, an event still infamous to the elves.
Rensha
Tom bs
Crypts under the High
Lord’s Hall where the former Rensha rulers are buried. Below the Rensha tombs are the Undercaverns.
The Ruined Tower
A ruined tower sitting on
a strange twisted cliff, less than 15 miles from the River Loagrann. A group of Red
Stag High Forest orcs has taken up residence in it.
Scarlet Shield
This dirty little tavern in Low Town of Loudwater has poor furnishings, and a lazy staff, but
for some reason it is very popular with a number of adventurers and warriors
that serve under the gauntlets. Owned by Hendris Teinel.
Secomber
Population:
1,417
Description:
Sitting along the Unicorn Run just north of the High Moor, Secomber is either
the northernmost settlement of the Western Heartlands or the first village of
the North, depending on who draws the map. Those who vote for the Western
Heartlands point to the town's peacefulness, its thriving families of
fisherfolk and farmers, its colorful gardens, and its hopitality to passing
caravans. Those who think of it as part of the North point to the town's
sizable community of adventurers and guides who have at least passing
familiarity with the High
Forest to the north.
The
city welcomes travelers, particularly adventurers who use the city as a base
for forays into the High Moor or the High
Forest. Not coincidentally, such
adventurers are called on to help out when gargoyles and worse creatures are
unearthed from the area's long-dead

the Rensha lords) were ever murdered or overthrown within the city’s boundaries.
Oath of Orlbar
A
treaty between Loudwater and Llorkh splitting the region into two spheres of
influence. Loudwater
controls the area to the west of Orlbar and the River Loagrann, while Llorkh controls the area to the east. The overall agreement is
that each side will not interfere with or invade the other side. The treaty has
many details and sub-agreements. One of them is that any insurgence from
outside powers must be dealt with by the power on the side of the temporal
divide where the insurgence originated.
