| − | *When Ynder was six years old the Goddess spoke to him. She did not give him direction or enlightment, or anything the young dark elf could understand. But she spoke and he loved her. He ran away from home soon after, joining a temple dedicated to Our Glorious Lady, the Aelfir approved version of the Goddess. But it wasn't enough for him, he wanted to worship his Goddess in all of her glorious forms.

She did not give him direction or enlightment, or anything the young dark elf could understand. But she spoke and he loved her. He ran away from home soon after, joining a temple dedicated to Our Glorious Lady, the Aelfir approved version of the Goddess. But it wasn't enough for him, he wanted to worship his Goddess in all of her glorious forms. He always asked questions, sought out new lore, until the one day he bought a forbidden book from a man who he should not have trusted. His temple was raided soon afterwards, and while he managed to escape his teacher was not so fortnuate and was killed for a crime he didn't know his student had commited. Driven by shame and hatred down to the Heart, he seeks to spread the word and love of Damnou. |
| − | *His crime was going beyond the teachings of his temple. He learned of a book don Damnou owned by an Aelfir collector. He was not as good of a burglar as he thought he was, and was spotted leaving by an informant who followed him to the temple, though the informant never saw his face. The next day while Ynder was out the authorities raided the temple, found the book and arrested his teacher who was subsequently executed for the theft.
| |
| − | *Ynder's teacher had lost his left arm years before Ynder ever met him, and had the bones ground up and kept in a vial. Before his execution he entrusted Ynder with the bone fragments and asked him to bring thme into the Goddess' presence, or failing that find the holiest place possible and bury them there.
| |
| − | *Ynder is familiar with the Cave of Lost Sounds, a small peaceful place run by an order of mendicants who are devoted to the preservation of knowledge and contemplation. It is also home to a species of large aggressive bat who will attack and kill anyone who speaks. Ynder appreciates the space for contemplation, even though he is not actually sure of any of the tenets of the order who make their home there.
| |
| − | *Ynder is no longer welcome at Trace's, a bar/inn/fortified bunker run by a woman of the same name. In theory Trace says everyone is welcome there, but Ynder pushed her patience too far by starting one to many religious arguments that lead into fistfights juntil he found himself clubbed over the head and tossed out, told never to return.
| |
| − | *Delin is a wandering human tinker who Ynder is friends with. Their paths have crossed a number of times and despite not having much in common the two have found an easy rapport.
| |
| − | *The-Faithful_unnumbered is an Aelfir devotee of Father Summer who Ynder tried to kill on general principle when they first met. Both survived the fight and have reached an uneasy detente, neither has attempted to kill the other since but both know that at some point the conflict will escalate again.
| |
| − | *Ynder has never punched a nun, but when he was a novice he was tempted on occasion.
| |
| − | *A prior mission Ynder had with the crew was the client needed the left eyes of three wild carrion-pigs, and the pigs had to survive the process. Things went well enough the first two times but the third time the party was ambushed by a group of pitchkin after they had tied down the third pig. In the chaos of the fighting Ynder was able to take the last eye they needed but in return the pig bit off his left pinky finger. The client was satisfied with their work.
| |
| − | *What marks your order out from others like it? Ynder wears icons of eyes all over his clothes, marks of the Goddess. He also wears chains around both of his arms, symbols of the Moon's oppression by the Aelfir.
| |
| − | *What evidence of your failings is visible in the City Beneath? Around Ynder's neck he has a necklace of the moon eclipsed, a mark of his shame and separation until he has atoned.
| |
| − | *Pick one of the other player characters, they were present at your betrayal. How were they involved? Yohann was there when the Aelfir raided my temple. It was for their own purposes but the two of us were able to grab a few of my keepsakes and a book the witch needed and escape the notice of the Aelfir together.
| |
| − | *Pick One of the other player characters; you look up to them as an example of how to live one's life. What inspired this. Ynder admires Windchime. She is living, or at least existing, proof that you can move on from the worst thing to happen to you. IF she can keep going after her own murder, he can move on from the loss of his teacher and temple, no matter how much it hurts now.
