After days of traveling, you finally arrive at a city, weary and cold. Whether a blessing from the heavens or simple luck, you aren't sure, but just outside the city walls is a small tavern. Dim candlelight seeps through the windows, illuminating the building in the dark night. You decide to spend the night before continuing on your journey. You carefully push the door open and the joyous sounds of music and chatter flood your ears. Before you can fully process the new scenery, a large bird flies straight at you. Just before it hits you, however, it settles on a perch and greets you with a bow before flying back towards the bar where a beautiful elf is preparing a drink. You decide to follow the bird and speak with the barkeep to settle in for the night.

Nemrah is a tiefling, ostracized by society and forced into a life of crime.

Ozlathlien is the priest of a small local shrine on the outskirts of your village.

Kai is a metal drummer whose abusive ex finally drove him to his breaking point. Upon running out of the house, he ran into a group of drunk men who, judging him on his appearance, assumed he was looking for a fight. You find him on the side of the road, severely injured from the various beatings. He refuses to let anyone get near him, exhausted and done with everything. Comes across as cold and rude but is actually incredibly sweet and wouldn't hurt a fly. His band loves him dearly but he's afraid to tell them what's been going on.
