When you're part elf and part giantess, the world often isn't sure what to make of you. So Isköl makes of it what she can.
That means leaving it a little better than how she found it. No matter if that calls for planting a garden, shepherding animals, slaying foul beasts, or even just letting a lonely child play with an unnaturally large fey dog.
But so help any soul that tries to ruin the goodness she stewards. Isköl's staff is for far more than just walking. The hells hath no fury like hers.
❝deeper the night, brighter the starlight ❞
- Purple markings of the fey visibly decorate her face and arms. They continue down and curve around her chest and thighs.
- Piercing amber gold eyes.
- Pointed ears like a high elf.
- Long honey gold hair, heavily braided and pulled to the side.
- Claw scar over her left eye.
- She stands at 11'7" or 353cm.
THE BEGINNING
More fey than elf, Isköl grew up learning to find her balance among the races and nature itself. She learned to recognize the way of the earth and her creatures, coming into her druidic birthright early. Isköl mastered animal shapes and learned her craft under the tutelage of her clan elders, but felt a calling she couldn't ignore.
After encountering an ancient fey spirit in the deep woods, Isköl's eyes were opened. The fey left her with a blessing and the haunting knowledge of dangers to come, thus shaping Isköl's future path.
Moving away from the clan, Isköl began to seek out these dangers and challenge them head on. For years, she traveled alone, communing with nature, before finding surprising kinship in the small folk whose side she fought by.
Alongside Androssa, Lyle, and Heru, Isköl faced and overcame countless dangers that later earned them recognition as heroes. They settled in Dragon Falls, building workshops and studies, while constantly keeping an ear to the ground for dangers to come. When danger came to Dragon Falls, the four of them were first in line to face it and defend the village that sang their praise.
Between monster fights and dungeon explorations, Isköl and her team often toyed with the idea of retirement. While the oldest on the team, as an elf, Isköl was the spiritual youngest and often complained of her friend's attempts to slow down, refusing to acknowledge their growing age. Still, Isköl found a joy in gardening and tended to a grove of topiary monsters they'd encountered on the grounds of the Lodge, their modest keep in Dragon Falls.
After a encounter with a dracolich and the use of the Deck of Many Things, the team not only saved Dragon Falls, but wished a successor to their legend into existance. Young Billy, a local boy who admired their team, was wished into greatness by Heru in a last ditch effort in the fight. The boy's wand put the dracolich in its grave, and though Isköl and the rest were credited with the defeat, their team privately knows that day as William the Great's origin.
PARTNER
A half-elf paladin and Isköl's on-and-off girlfriend, Androssa is a constant in the midst of battle at Isköl's side. Though she often tries to claim retirement, at the earlest sign of trouble, Androssa picks up her Holy Avenger and takes arms against it.
TEAMMATE
A feral tiefling with a knack for tinkering, Lyle is the intellect of the team, but has a tendency to blast their way out of trouble. After opening a school of artificery in the village, Lyle took on a more academic than adventuring approach to his work. Not that the blasting stopped.
TEAMMATE
The old man of the team, the wizard had a knack for pushing his mortality in ways Isköl refused to allow him to test. Years after his passing, Isköl still struggles to deal with that she will one day bury all of her friends.
PRODIGY
Once their biggest fan and now a hero in his own right, Isköl and her party have had a unique hand in shaping his destiny. No matter what greatness he achieves, he will always still be their Billy.
FRIEND
Not the weirdest creature she's met in the Fey Wilds, Isköl and Ignol crossed paths and journeyed together to return to Faerun. Though she's not entirely sure how long he spent in those wilds.
