Leon Darsk
Leon Darsk is a Half-elf Ranger and a member of the The Shaded Stormblades. He traveled with a party made up of Krus, Lana, Alex, Aster, and Epoth before the party split in 1247.
After the death of Aster, the party decided to go their separate ways. Krus left for the Ironburn Badlands. Lana and Leon decided that they would split to take care of some personal affairs, but would later regroup in Irkhelal. Lana headed north, following a lead she had discovered regarding her family.
Leon headed south to find his old master. He decided to sneak back into the Gulch, the base of operations for his bounty hunting guild.
He traveled deep into the archives of the guild, searching for any letters that may have been intended for him but confiscated from his old master. He managed to recover one. It read:
Leon, Time’s arrow never ceases. Relentlessly, it flies from the strings of Amaunator’s great bow and remains steadfast, moving only forward. Out of the quiver, and into the abyss. Unmake the binds that restrain him. Breaking the manacles of truth is the only way to carry on. Leave behind the old ways. Enter a new age of prosperity. Going forth, we must remember this. Our shackles can only restrict our physical bodies. Torturous as that may be, they cannot restrict our minds. Onward we march, not with our feet, but our imaginative spirits. Inside the halls of Amauntor’s great palace, there is room for all. Ringing through the streets of his everlasting city are sounds of joy. On the morning of one’s arrival, the great man himself will greet each resident. Not only the righteous, but the forsaken. Behold his glory. Under his long, golden beard is a symbol. Remember it. Nomadic as your life may have been, he will accept you. Always and forever will you be cherished under his light. Cease your worry. All of your fear. Demonstrate your love. Exotic as the concept may seem, you must always live this way. My dearest student, do not take this message lightly, for the meaning is divergent than it may at first glance seem.Leon discovered a encoded message in the letter. Taking the first letter of each sentence, he found the true message to be: "Trouble. Go to Ironburn Academy." Leon knew Ironburn Academy to be long abandoned, but acted quickly. He managed to locate his old master, who revealed that he had uncovered a plot against the Shaded Stormblades by the Acquisitive, another sect of the guild. They had placed a curse on the sanctum, corrupting the minds of the bounty hunters to make them more bloodthirsty. The honor of the organization was at risk, as well as the lives of many innocent people. Adriel was hiding at Ironburn to use what was left of their resources from before the school fell to ruin. Leon decided to seek help. He traveled to Irkhelal and left his master to continue his research. He met Lana there, who revealed that she had found her parents. They had been imprisoned for rallying a revolt of other prisoners in the slave camp where they were held. Lana would need Leon's help to free them. Knowing they needed more allies, they asked an old ally, Otmund, for assistance. Otmund heartily agreed, as he owed them a great debt. With new allies, Leon, Lana, Otmund (and Otmunds brother Lawson) headed back to Ironburn. Adriel had completed his research and was ready to dispel the curse placed on the Shaded Stormblades. Together, the party traveled to the Gulch. Sneaking inside (with the help of Lana in animal form), the party managed to dispel the curse and free the Gulch. With the curse lifted, the Shaded Stormblades were angered. They reinstated Adriel as leader and began to plan a retaliation on the Acquisitive. Leon later joined Lana and helped her free her family from a prison in Mortham. After they had been liberated, Leon and Lana decided to embark on a quest once more. They had one goal in mind: find Nomad.
