The Calling of the moon

by AproposGibbon

This is the Origin story of Marchion a male tiefling rogue that is on the run from the guards in a certain Elven city where he was kept as a slave of sorts since he was a child. This character spawned from a d&d game that me and my friends started and I find this to be the best place to tell his origin story and future exploits from this character.

1. Introduction

Introduction to the story

This story is situated in the Talin Empire it is a fast growing empire which has just gone into an industrial revolution. The city that is close to the characters place of origin is named Krent which is the at the center of the empire at the center of the city is the temple of Bahamut which is the main deity in the city there are other deities in the city because of the mass population that is in the city. The main population in this city is the Dragonborn which the city holds an historical and a religious connection to them. The next main population is the humans from the Talin Empire who also helped the city in the booming industrial revolution. There are other races in the city like half-lings, tieflings, elves, and so on. The city of Krent current structure due to the industrial revolution has buildings powered by steam and a hybrid of magic conducted electricity which gives power to the street lights of the city and the lights on the city wall. The main character originates from an elven city on the out skirt forests that line the boarder of Krent which are called Ironbark Hills also known as usk skjallmolik jonali in draconic in which the elves of ancient time past built the city Forsari. Forsari is not a metropolitan type city but it has a reasonably large elven population, which is the majority of the city save for a few other races which tend to be slaves of the elves. Because of the ever expanding Talin Empire the Ironbark Hills are losing large parts of its forest. Forsari has been run by Elaver Glimmergaunt an astute scholar and arch mage ever since his father's passing to Corellon Larethian. Elaver now at the ripe age of 200 has watched over the city and the looming rise of the Talin Empire and has started discussions of peace and alliance with them. The city is in the beginning stages of an industrial revolution thanks to Elaver wisdom and guidance. The main deity of the city is Corellon Larethian which is on good terms with Vanathor who is Bahamut's gold dragon advisor and bard thus the reason the dragonborn have tolerated the elves for so long. The secondary deity of the city is Sehanine Moonbow she is not openly worshiped in the city and has a temple on the fringes of the city where it can catch the rays of the full moon without obstruction and here is where the story starts for our intrepid tiefling rogue whose parents are servants of the high priestess of the temple. His family where looked after well in the temple grounds his father tending the gardens and his mother helping the priestess with day to day tasks but never did they feel like slaves till one fateful day.
