The brutes hauled him and the other captives across forests and mountains, to be sold on a seaside auction block. Clover was more fortunate than some; his elfin features caught the eyes of an agent of the distant Queen Haelmalis. That's how Clover, son of a granger and a seamstress, ended up serving as an attendant to the queen of a land across the oceans! The court of Queen Haelmalis reflected the tiefling monarch; beautiful, elegant... and cruel. Clover was treated as a pet growing up, dressed and schooled and scolded. he took solace with the other servants, especially a pretty halfling girl named Fenri. As they all grew older, the cruelties continued; lashings for shuffling your feet, humiliations for whispering, a day in the cage for sneaking food. And the way the queen treated those who weren't her pets was even worse!<br/><br/>It was such an episode, when the serfs sent an embassy to request leniency from the queen's taxes. She sent the embassy home in boxes, and that night, Clover was wracked with nighmares. And the night after that. Until he did something he hadn't done since the hobgoblins took him, fifteen years prior; he prayed to the only goddess he knew; Fenri's favorite, Sheela Peryroyl. That night the nightmares were dispelled by a bright vision of gold-green light. The being taught him, though he can't quite remember what he was taught. he woke empowered, with a plan; with the help of Fenri and the other servants, he organized a rebellion within the palace. So many of the queen's beautiful pets had suffered, that resistance took hold quickly... and quickly spread beyond the castle once word got out! Haelmalis' kingdom was much smaller than she liked to think, and with no real allies, all she could do was try to flee in the night. Clover's not sure what happened to her, and he'd rather not know, since he doubts it was pleasant.<br/><br/>Shortly after, Clover started on the road home. Though saddened that Fenri wouldn't come with him, perhaps it was for the best; Clover doesn't know where "home" is anymore, after all. And besides that, his heart keeps pulling him away from that journey, to do good, to promote beauty, and fight back against the forces of darkness.<br/><br/>Persona: Clover is open, honest, and always eager to help others. He upholds the tenets of the Ancient Path; stand for beauty and laughter, fight against despair and darkness, be merciful and protect life agaisnt death. Especially the beauty part; he believes even the wicked queen Haelmalis had a glimmer of good to her, in that regard and so happily preserves the beauty she instilled into him (granted, usually with more clothes... usually)<br/><br/></em><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Strength: 18 (+4) | Dexterity: 14 (+2) | Constitution: 16 (+3) | Intelligence: 11 (+0) | Wisdom: 13 (+1) | Charisma: 16<br/>Hit Points: 49<br/>Armor Class: 17 (19 With Shield)<br/>Initiative: +2<br/>Passive Perception: 11<br/>Proficiency Bonus: +3<br/><br/>Skills: Athletics (+7), Religion (+3), Animal Handling (+4), Survival (+4), Intimidation (+6), Persuasion +6<br/>Item proficiencies: Light Armor, Medium Armor, heavy Armor, Shields, Simple Weapons, Maartial weapons, Land Vehicles, Weaver's Tools<br/>Languages: Common, Elvish, Halfling<br/><br/>Feat(s): War Caster</div></div>
