Character
Description and History
Talwyn grew up near Baldur's Gate and first joined Lord Jaeger von Meister, an adventuring Paladin from
Waterdeep. Lord Jaeger taught Talwyn how to be a Paladin, what is required for service to Torm and how to
dispense Justice & Law to the world. After serving 3 years, Talwyn was granted leave to go forth and find his way in the world. He became a Knight Errant, selling his sword to those of good & lawful alignment, who needed a strong & fearless warrior to aid their cause. During this time he met up with a Half Eleven female Fighter/Mage/Cleric, Felvin, from the desert lands to the east. She proclaimed that there was only one god over all, Ao, and that all the other gods where but parts of the greater whole. Talwyn was at first
repulsed by this attitude yet Felvin was also Lawful Good and helped Talwyn during many adventures. An old
acquaintance of Talwyn's, Perspex the Opaque-a mage of some power, came to seek his aid when dealing with a band of Fire Giants & 2 Red Dragons in the mountains south of
Baldur's Gate. A party was formed which also included the invoker Harq al-Arda, Vasse the Elven Archer and Basil the thief from Waterdeep. Together they defeated the Giants and slew both dragons in a series of battles using both magic and hack & slash. While looting the Red Dragons lair, Talwyn found a stone statue of a young silver dragon. After a bit of investigation it was determined that the dragon had been
petrified by the Reds some time ago and was now a part of their "decoration" for their lair. Talwyn persuaded Perspex to turn the silver dragon back to normal, which Perspex did. Once free of the enchantment the silver was very grateful to Talwyn and his companions and introduced herself as AnnaPhalaxus. Talwyn was also using his share of the loot to rebuild a part of the giants fortress and had planned to settle in the mountain valley so as to keep it from falling into the hands of evil creatures once they had left the region. AnnaPhalaxus
decided to stay in the valley and help Talwyn with his goal. Over the next two years they became close friends and allies, to the extent that she agreed to become his special bonded mount for 10 years. She also was aiming at joining up with the Talons of Justice, and having a high level Paladin with a stronghold would help her in her quest to gain acceptance to that group. Talwyn and Anna have recently become full fledged members of the order.
