I had a copy of it. I don't know if anything will need changing?<br/><br/>As a paladin, Abigail travels a great deal, but she has established a base at a homestead south of Northshire in the valley. Her accommodations are a little spartan, but they're also clean and surprisingly comfortable. The owners of the homestead (a toughened woman named Eleanor and her teenage son, Jon) allow her use of the stables, share meals with her, and she comes and goes as she pleases. She occasionally stays at the chapel in Northshire when church business takes her there. The majority of her formal training took place in Northwind (in the south of the Misty Valley), and this is an area she knows well.<br/><br/>As far as her own background is concerned, Abigail is very different from others in her family. Her mother Diana was a sorceress, that much she knows; just as she knows her mother was murdered by one of the elves. Her father Akaro is a hunter/trapper, and at the time of his wife's death, Abigail was only an infant. He was a broken man when he turned Abigail over to the church of Sol, but he knew little of raising a child on his own, and he feared for her safety in the same woods (to the east of Northshire) where his wife died.<br/><br/>Abigail's father didn't see her for many years, but one day (about a decade later) he made a snap decision and returned to see his daughter. She was not what he was expecting. She was smart, soft-spoken and utterly unlike him in every way. Still, they got along well and he told her about her mother.. and what had happened to her. Akaro shared how he'd first met her in the wilderness. He'd thought he was alone and then he heard footsteps. He was expecting a threat or one of any number of dangers; he hadn't expected to meet a woman with an enchanting smile. He told Abigail that her mother could 'make stars', and asked her if she could as well. The answer was no.. at that stage of her life.<br/><br/>Abigail's commitment to the church was strong, and once mentored in combat (because the world was such that it was unreasonable not to), the clerics/priests found that she excelled. She was given the opportunity few others shared.. to become a paladin.. and then a sacred servant of Sol. She always did have a strong sense of justice, a level-head on her shoulders. Her training was as much in religion and law as it was in the more martial aspects. It was not just something she was good at, but it struck a chord with her - in many ways she felt this was what she was born to be. It was during her paladin training that her abilities in sorcery advanced, drawn on once without thought when she was forced to defend herself against a martial opponent. Her mentor in swordsmanship (an elderly man named Reece), advised her to keep it to herself and focus instead on her studies.<br/><br/>While the sorcery wasn't an ability that Abigail thought would be well-accepted, a part of her wanted to explore it and discover its secrets. In many ways, it created a connection with her mother, who she couldn't remember. Sometimes at night she would try to channel her sorcery, and slowly but surely it grew and began to flourish. While Abigail believes that it isn't truly a power she should draw upon, she also feels that in the tide of battle, it is fair to use the weapons at one's disposal, providing they are used with honour.<br/><br/>Abigail kept in touch with her father, but every year he tells her he must travel further north and east to earn his living. She understands the dangers of raiding parties and the elves only too well, but thus far he has returned safe and sound. Sometimes she has a feeling that her father possesses something.. secrets or a hidden knowledge, but he is also a deeply down-to-earth man. As of yet his secrets have gone undiscovered.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>You can keep most of it, since the Twilight campaign ended well, the Elves are no longer the greatest threat facing humanity.  We're back to the nice warm fuzzy allies that they usually are.<br/><br/>We can presume that the rest mostly works.  YOu settled in the valley, met with Adhafera when she was just a baroness, in the valley, made an impression, helped her here and there, and when she left the valley, she decided that she wanted to recall you from the Valley and make you one of her Roses.  Is the thumbnail summary of the early introductions and what you can expect.<br/><br/>We need to rework your character a little though, stuff missing on the character sheet, and a general rework of your equipment list.  Dont mind keeping the fluff, and can make some mind amendments for past history but i'd like for all the players to start on somewhat equal footings, just as point of fairness.
