About this image

Just finished this amazing game! Not a screenshot game although for a game of this style it has some lovely graphics. Excellent game although a very long one. Finished with my canon character and ending. Now to try out a Tiefling Rogue.

My main is Fenn Finn-Gall who is a Sylvan Sorcerer focused on persuasion, illusion, trickery, and charm. I wrote up a brief story of what happened after the game ended ... just because I like doing such things. However put it all in spoilers because it comes after the end of the game and so has end-game spoilers in it. Don't read if avoiding spoilers. Also it won't make any sense if you haven't played the game.

Just that we only have one image post here so thought I would give the other image some company.

Sorcerer King of the Stolen Lands

From the Royal Archives
-- Linzi, Royal Bard

The nymph Nyrissa was dead killed at our hands. When pressed Fenn himself was unsure himself whether it had been an act of revenge or an act of mercy. Her death had infuriated the Lantern King who had then tried to destroy Fenn and the Stolen Lands. Yet in the end, thanks to the help of his friends and allies, he not only survived but managed to defeat the Elder.

Some may feel that Fenn gave up a lot when he rejected the Lantern Kings offer of immortality but perhaps Fenn had realized something that the Elder had not. For Fenn was a Sylvan sorcerer which meant his magical powers derived from his Fey blood.

As he worked to first build, and then save, his Kingdom his powers began to grow, much like a muscle will grow with exercise. He discovered that as he pushed himself to his limits that not only was his magical ability growing but so was the influence of his fey heritage. This influence only increased all the faster when he began travelling to the the First World. When the Lantern King cursed him by linking him directly to his kingdom, as it was slowly merging with the First World, it created a bond between Fenn’s mortal soul and his Fey soul. Much like the mortal world was merging with the Fey world.

When the curse was removed the bond remained. This became more apparent as years turned to decades and there were few signs of aging. While not immortal it was clear Fenn’s fey heritage now dominated his soul and had given him an extended life. Nor was he alone in this.

His partner, Regongar, had also undergone a transformation, powered by his intense will and desire to protect Fenn and his kingdom. His dragon heritage began to exert itself in both physical and magical ways. As his magic and strength increased so did his body change. Dragon wings sprouted from his back and he gained the ability to breath lightning and turn his hands into dragon claws. In addition he gained the long life span of his dragon kin.

So while Fenn began to outlive many of his friends, he still managed to avoid much of the loneliness a long life can bring. His fey wolf, Wolfgar, was soul bonded and aged with him. He had his friend and partner Reg to keep him company. Not to mention his dear friend and archivist Linzi whose soul had been bound to her book during their battles in the First World. He also has the Inquisitor Jaethal and the Storyteller, both of whom would visit his kingdom from time to time with stories of their adventures.

And so it was that decades turned to centuries and for a thousand years the Sylvan Sorcerer King ruled the Stolen Lands with mercy and generosity. It became known as a haven for all manner of races and beasts as Fenn’s chaotic good nature meant he would offer sanctuary to anyone who agreed to live in peace … and those who did not were exiled. To help protect his people and his kingdom he founded the Order of Fenrir, named after an ancient Fey deity from Fenn’s past.

The Order was made up of two groups. The Wolves of Fenrir were chaotic good Rangers, the military arm of the Order who protected the land, the beasts of the forests, and its people. The second group were called Runelords, and they were neutral good Druids who provide advice and counsel to both the king and his people while also enforcing the laws of the kingdom.

Eventually, however, Fenn grew tired of existence as the years began to press down on him. He began to long for the deep sleep of the eternal slumber. He had vowed to give the Stolen Land a thousand years of peace and prosperity, as a balance for the thousand years of suffering and despair Nyrissa and the Lantern King had subjected it to.

On the birthday of the kingdoms one thousandth year he appointed his most trusted advisors to create a council that would govern the kingdom. That night, after his celebration party, he, his partner Reg, and his wolf Wolfgar, vanished into the night never to be seen or heard of again … although rumors continued to persist that he still watched over the land he had grown to love.

Fenn had a sacred grove, a valley hidden amongst the mountains, and a few daring travelers who braved the dangerous mountain paths told a remarkable tale. In the middle of the wooded grove stood a huge tree. Curled around the base of the tree was the massive form of a dragon made entirely of stone. Tucked between its large snout and the base of the tree they claimed to see the ghostly form of a sleeping wolf made entirely of mist and fog.

Some say that whenever evil threatens the Stolen Lands a dragon can be seen flying the night sky seeking out enemies of the Kingdom. Some even say they have seen riding on the back of the dragon the figure of a man and a wolf.

Such tales, however, are usually greeted with laughter and claims that such stories are but fairy tales told by drunken fools …

      Thanks, it is fun! Fenn here is a Sylvan Sorcerer which means he has strong ties to the old fairies, nature, and animals. He also happens to be a charming trickster like many of the fey hence his focus on charm, illusion, and trickery. I always have an animal companion if I can, and usually a wolf, dog, or fox depending on options.
