Sir Isteval
Mental characteristics
Биография
Sir Isteval, was a retired Paladin of Amaunator who viewed his god in an outmoded light as Lathander. He lived a retired life in Daggerford until he felt that others needed to follow the shining example that was his homeland so he gathered individuals with the same ideals and set forth to combat evil and chaos.
Isteval was born in the rustic town of Eveningstar, in the bright kingdom of Cormyr. As a teenager, Isteval joined the Purple Dragon Knights of Cormyr. His duties as a knight of the realm were always tempered with his dedication to justice, righteousness, and compassion. Dedicated to extending the reach of law and good beyond Cormyr’s borders, he slew orcs by the dozens in the Stonelands, fought Zhentarim mercenaries on the western frontier, and drove back a Sembian raid through the Thunder Gap. ...
As his power grew, he began to see the need for a different kind of knight. Over the course of a long career, he led no less than three adventuring companies dedicated to spreading Cormyr's vision of law and good into the Western Heartlands, the corrupt Moonsea, and the Vilhon Wilds. However, as his third company ventured into the Winterwood, they stumbled upon an ancient green dragon. Unprepared for such an encounter, the adventurers barely managed to drive the dragon away, but not before Isteval had suffered a grievous injury that shattered his left leg.
Though he is no longer able to fight as he did in his youth, Isteval seeks to bring together a new, great company of brave souls to carry on his legacy, to preserve his vision for future generations. Across Faerûn, his former associates share their fond memories of Isteval and his dream. His wounded leg means that Isteval's greatest quests now lie behind him, but he has never lost his vision of a better world coming with a new dawn. In these days of trials and chaos, Isteval sees the birth-pangs of a new age, and believes against all evidence and reason that it will bring unprecedented peace and prosperity. Though many trials yet lie ahead, he is convinced that at the end of his journey is a far fairer place.
Isteval’s place of birth was the Cormyrian town of Eveningstar. He joined the Purple Dragons while still a teenager, and was noted for his impeccable character. His desire to bring justice and defend his country brought him into conflict with many enemies in various locations. Some of his more battles were against the vicious orc bands of the Stonelands, dispatched Zhentarim agents along the western frontier, and making a valiant stand in Thunder Gap against Sembian raiders.
Later, he led at least three groups of adventurers on missions in an effort to bring justice, goodness, and spread Cormyr’s influence. The first company of adventurers went to the Western Heartlands. The second followed Isteval to battle corruption around the Moonsea.
Around 1471 DR, Isteval lead his third and last company, "The Company of the Sunlit Sea"into the Vilhon Wilds and the Winterwood. During this time, Isteval and the rest of his company entered the lair of the dracolich, Dretchroyaster, to retrieve the Diamond Staff of Chomylla. Here Isteval engaged and defeated a black dragon apparently residing within the adjacent caverns of the lair, but he and his companions were later forced to retreat as his friend Jekk Ironfist nearly drowned, and the party wizard, Imani triggered a fire-breathing trap, horribly burning him.
Some time later, while in the Winterwood, Isteval wounded his leg in battle against a Green dragon. The wound resisted magical healing and he walked with a cane afterwards.
As of 1489 DR, Isteval actively proclaimed his devotion to the newly returned Lathander, after the Second Sundering. He attended the Council of Waterdeep as Daggerford's unofficial representative for the Lords' Alliance. Isteval was however additionally tasked with spying on the council on behalf of Cormyr, a fact he respected his fellow representatives too much to hide from them, resulting in him almost being banished from the council, if not for the intervention of a group of heroes leading the efforts against the Cult of the Dragon. As the council progressed, Isteval found himself an ally of Ontharr Frume of the Order of the Gauntlet. Isteval had his misgivings about cooperating with the Zhentarim, and outright objected to allying with the Red Wizards of Thay.
The heroes securing Isteval's support of their efforts against the Cult of the Dragon acquired them allied forces of Purple Dragon Knights and War Wizards from Cormyr, as well as a great deal of influence over several council-members, due to Sir Isteval's widespread and positive reputation.
Isteval is a paladin of Amaunator, but he views the
god in an outmoded light as Lathander, the god of dawn
and new beginnings. In these days of chaos, through
his faith, Isteval sees the birth pangs of a new age that
he believes will bring peace and prosperity. Although
many trials lie ahead, he is convinced that a far fairer
place lies at journey’s end.
Isteval is slender and tawny-skinned with dark
brown hair salted with gray. He often wears the plate
armor of a knight, although his left leg is braced and he
carries a walking stick as well as his greatsword. His
armor is decorated with the holy symbol of Lathander
