Paelias
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Paelias was born to an elven mother and a half-elven father. His mother disappeared mysteriously when he was very young, and thus he was raised mostly by his father, a merchant. Paelias had a comfortable lifestyle growing up, and a happy childhood with several friends. He has a good relationship with his older brother, who is also a merchant. Paelias might have ended up a merchant as well, were it not for being tormented by horrific visions in his dreams for months. A good friend, a ranger who helped with the family’s caravans, was possessed and brutally murdered Paelias’ fiancee, after which the visions ended.
Paelias retreated from society and became a hermit for several years, living in an isolated cabin in the northern mountains. One day he received an enlightening vision at dawn, which led him to seek out a temple of Lathander to help interpret the vision. He found a quiet little temple filled with gardens and priests living simple lives. The writings of a renowned cleric from the temple resonated with him, and many at the temple felt Paelias was the inheritor of that legacy. They gifted him with the embroidered holy symbol from the cleric’s tabard as a keepsake.
Having successfully confronted the summoning of Tiamat, Paelias experienced a resurgence in his faith and renewed dedication in his service to Lathander.
