Gordon Stakaria

Swordmaster Gordan Stakaria

Battle Chaplain Stakaria is a scarred, close-mouthed veteran warrior-priest who is Swordmaster of the Shrine of Swords in Swordpoint, the fortress at Archenbridge in Archendale. Gordon dedicates himself to the service of the war god through the feats and faithful worship of the soldiers of Archendale and has little time for those of other faiths or devotees of Tempus who hail from elsewhere. He has seen much and is impressed by little.
In return for healing, prayers to Tempus for the war gods favor, and the like, the Swordmaster prefers to exact services from the faithful as payment. These often center on personal hardiness and endurance, such as: "Climb a certain Arkhen peak in winter with only a dagger and leather armor, find a wyvern lair, and kill at least one wyvern, then bring back its head to this altar as an offering to Tempus in proof of your deed."

Divine Domains

Gordon's domain is War and he can cast cleric spells up to 5th level.

Personality Characteristics

Likes & Dislikes

He is deeply stirred by hearing of women who are bold and skilled in battle, as he spent much of his youth seeking a suitable mate with such qualities, only to have one swordswoman after another tragically slain in their adventures together.
He dislikes useless conversations and useless people. If you have not spilled blood in battle then you are useless.
