Dungeons and Dragons Backstory: Ignis Ravensblood

Ignis Ravensblood grew up not knowing his family. The first thing he remembered was stealing a glaive
from a noble. This glaive ended up being forged in shadows, one that is sentient. This was going to be
the only thing he stole but the glaive spoke to him, told him to take more. He stole what he needed to
survive.

It didn't always go to plan. When he was kicked out of a bakery one morning, a young boy approached
him. The boy picked up Ignis’ glaive and they started a conversation. The glaive realised the boy could
be useful, being an experienced thief.

The boy and Ignis worked together, stealing what they needed. No matter what they did, they always
stole what the glaive said.

One night, the glaive whispered to him.

“I can give you the power you can only dream of, I can give you the strength you’ve always wanted.”

It took Ignis a couple of days before he accepted the deal and the glaive gave him magic. In return, he
obeys the glaives every command. 

Dungeons and Dragons Backstory: Shira Ti

Shira came from a family of wizards, the innate magic manifesting in her for the first time in one hundred
years. Her family gave her a spellbook when she was a child, her cousin giving her the ring to help her
cast magic. Her family tried to teach her how to cast spells the way a wizard does, with the spellbook.
She would train on the outskirts of her village to learn how to use her magic herself. She would learn how
to cast spells with the spellbook in her hand to please her family. She would write in the book as if it was
her diary. All the text in it is in Infernal. Because of this, she despises using weapons and will only use
spells

She left her family when she was sick of being treated like a wizard, but she couldn’t leave the spellbook
behind.

When she left, she realised she needed money, she made her way to the thieves guild where she was
given jobs to kill. While she was sceptical of carrying out the jobs at first, she soon leaned into it and it
eventually became second nature to think up ways to kill people as soon as she meets them in case she
gets a job to kill them. She acts all happy and open to people when she meets them, telling them
‘secrets’ to get them to trust her so she can kill them easier. If this process takes more than five days,
she kills them from a distance, every aspect of her covered. If she does this, she will always attack from
the shadows.

Because of the spellbook in her hand, shes often is mistaken as a wizard at first glance. She doesn’t try
to hide the fact she's a sorcerer.

Dungeons and Dragons Backstory: Leucis

Leucis spent most of his life working for the thieves guild. He prided himself on being one of the best,
effortlessly sneaking into nobles dwellings and stealing everything that wasn’t nailed down. He met a lot
of beautiful women but none were more beautiful than a woman he met on the last job he did for the
guild. He stole a ring from a noble known for splashing out on antiques and magical artefacts. The ring
was a curious object. A ruby sat in the band, one that seemed to glow, as if a flame was trapped within it.
When he picked it up, he heard a woman's voice from the ring and he became enchanted by it. He
pocketed the ring and finished his assignment, but the ring never left his mind. When safely away from
the building, he put the ring on and saw images of her in his mind. He immediately fell for her, her beauty
being like nothing he’d ever seen before. The images vanished and her voice filtered through his mind.
She introduced herself as Fierna, Lady of the Fourth Layer of the Nine Hells, Phlegethos. One of the
Arch-Demons of the Nine Hells. Lady Fierna tempted him with great power if he gives her his soul and
agrees to be her servant in the next life. He told her he’d agree, only if she becomes his wife. She replied
with a no but asked if he had another offer. Hearing a sultry tone in her voice, he proposes that they
marry when he dies. After a bit of thought, she replied with ‘Grow stronger for me, protect me, serve me
and never disobey me, and we can marry in unholy matrimony when you die.’

Not seeing a better offer, Leucis agreed and made the contract.

Leucis cut ties with the thieves guild after this and travelled around to grow stronger for the one he loved,
talking to her during the day and in his dreams. With every conversation, every monster killed for her, the
bond between them grew deeper, growing into an everlasting love that’ll never be broken.

Dungeons and Dragons Backstory: Mikri Kithara

She was abandoned by her parents at birth, being taken in by a family of wood elves. She was shunned
by the village for being a drow, the village being filled with high and wood elves. Her older adoptive
brother carved a stringed instrument for her from a tree, allowing her to distract herself from her lonely
life. When walking through the forest, she found an eldritch tome. Its contents were terrifying and had
scared her. She burned the book but the images haunted her that night.

She lived with those haunting images for years in silence, using music to dispel the evil images. When
playing one night, she met an aasimar called Akyl. He had been wandering around the forest, not
knowing where he was or where he was going. Akyl stayed in the forest, growing close to Mikri.

Years pass. Mikri gets better with her instrument and Akyl teaches her Celestial, but the dark thoughts
don’t leave. She eventually breaks, Akyl being with her when it happens. She plays a loud note,
simultaneously screaming. The darkness covers the area, causing animals and trees within five feet of
her to instantly die. Akyl included.

Due to his death, she couldn’t bear to stay in her village. She travelled the lands, playing to people
for money. Wherever she went, Akyl’s voice stayed in her mind. He always whispered things, always
there in the back of her mind.
