(A/N: There is NOTHING about Jander anywhere that I can find, so I decided to write one of the ones that has been running through my head lately.  Here it is.)

Disclaimer:  I don't own Jander.  He belongs to the brilliant Christie Golden.  Lathander belongs to TSR, ummm.  I think the rest are mine.

Prologue

            Jander Sunstar left the little town under the cloak of night.  The elven vampire slipped away softly.  He regretted leaving his friends, but staying in one place for too long was risky.  Although he fought evil instead of joining it, nobody ever understood.

            Well, almost nobody, Jander though with a grin.  He fingered the necklace his friend Eckerd had given him.  Eckerd had found out Jander's secret, but instead of shunning him or trying to impale him on a stake, the powerful mage had crafted Jander a necklace that allowed him to go out under the light of the sun once more.  To Jander, who had once been a priest of Lathander, this was almost as precious as the friendship Eckerd had showed him.

            Jander cast one more glance over his shoulder, and then moved off into the night.

            About a month later, Jander came upon a town he thought he could live in for a while.  He passed through the gates, into his new home.
