Affyria is a descendant of one of the old houses of the great tiefling empire of Bael Turath. She’s studied the old stories closely, and is always looking to improve her knowledge concerning the old ways. This is important to her, as uncovering her legacy is needed to avoid repeating the mistakes of her ancestors.

Growing up on the streets of Wyvernfell wasn’t exactly easy, even with the help of her family. She learned to be both self-reliant and mistrustful (things she would later have to unlearn), but her natural charisma made her a leader – even when she wasn’t sure she wanted to be.

Unfortunately, members of her family started to turn up missing or dead. Affyria had to live out the last few years of her childhood almost entirely unsupported, and the murderer was never found. Why were they targeted, and are those responsible still looking for her? These are thoughts that never escape her.

When she came of age, Affyria studied the bardic arts to gain the flexibility to make her way in the world, as well as the tools she would need to uncover more of her history. As part of these efforts, Affyria has rediscovered the lost arts of the Turathi sword-masters, making them her own. Her spells, songs, and swordplay have kept her alive over the last few years, and her new friends have helped, too. Affyria hasn’t told them much of her past, or about her ambitions, but they’ve still managed to earn each other’s trust.

Jonathan Baldwin

Jonathan is a firm believer that the best way to make friends is to game with them, and that nearly any problem can be surmounted with a well rolled d20 and a sense of humor. Regrettably, his professors do not agree with him, which leaves him with the challenge of balancing his gaming habits with his studies. Profile Page / Article Portfolio
