For our TDE game, every player really gets into it. This is why each of our players have their own custom character portraits created by AI, which makes them unique. Even their animal companion pictures were created using AI to make sure that everything about these characters belongs only to them.

Brief History: Valaria was born in Aumond in the northern forests. During an Ork raid, her entire family was killed and she was taken into slavery. She was sold to a successful merchant, who lived in Fasar (located in The Lands of the Tulamydes), and was treated well even as a slave. He had a taste for beautiful things and she was one of his prized slaves for that reason. During her time there she met another slave, a Dwarf named Strikinghammer. After 3 years, her master died and his son took over. He was cruel and wanted everything his way. He mistreated all the slaves until finally, 2 years later, Strikinghammer and Valaria killed him.

Profession: Blessed One Of Rhondra
Home: Searching for one
Role: Melee damage
Relationship Status: Single
Brief History: Born and raised in the city of Koschim, Strikinghammer learned he was a Blessed One at an early age due to the birthmark he has. He was introduced to the temple when he was young and they worked with him enough for him to get to know his goddess. His father was a merchant, and when Strikinghammer traveled with him to Beldenheim they were attacked by an Ork raid. His family was killed and he was taken prisoner. He was sold to a master who lived in Fasar and spent 15 years there as a slave before he met Valaria. During his time as a slave, he continued to learn from Blessed ones of Rhondra when they visited the home of his master. In his 20th year as a slave, he helped Valaria kill their master (the son of their original master), whom they took money from and fled. He has been traveling with her for a year now before they ended up in Punin.
As a Blessed One of Rhondra, Strikinghammer is able to change forms into a lion.
