alora lightcrown

⚡︎ On the 20th of Famerule, Alora Lightcrown, high-elf, was born in a druids grove in the High Forest, Moonlight Haven. The night Alora was born, the deity of nature, Silvanus, conjured a beautiful, majestic, yet powerful storm that covered the entirety of the High Forest. A lightning strike Silvanus imbued with powerful arcana, came down onto Alora the moment she was born, gifting her intense, unparalleled, storm sorcery powers. Silvanus blessed Alora with these gifts, knowing they would be in good hands, knowing she would use these powers to continue maintaining balance and to be a guiding light for many. When Alora was born, her parents and fellow druids noticed right away her powers were extremely unique from theirs.

Alora grew up alongside her druid mother, Aislinn, and her archdruid father, Morphus Lightcrown. Morphus was an extremely powerful archdruid, respected by many. He has a very unique gift given to him by Silvanus, a gift needing to be used with the utmost care: the gift of foresight; to see into the future. Morphus was blessed with this gift to provide guidance to those that needed it. Her father, knowing her destiny that she will be greatly needed, a light for many, gently guided and watched over her.

During her childhood, her parents witnessed how potent Alora’s power was. Alora spent 80 years, most her her elven youth, growing up with her parents and druid family. She was raised in the ways and teaching of the druids, which grounded her, and made her want to use her powers for good and to aid come naturally. Unlike most mages, who typically crave power and status. Anytime a threat got too close to her home for her liking, she would easily decimate all of them, and naturally developed an instinct and want to protect and defend.

A few days before Alora’s 80th birthday, her parents and her agreed that it would be best for Alora to develop her talents outside the grove, and while she was still young in her elven years. As talented as her parents and family at the grove were, none of them had the knowledge or insight to truly help Alora hone in on her powers. Her father, knowing how needed Alora would be, encouraged her this was the right path, without revealing too much of her destiny. She set off to Silverymoon the day after her 80th birthday to seek mentorship.

She found mentorship under an archmage, Zephyr “Surge” Thunderwind, another storm sorcerer, and lived in his mansion in the Northbank of Silverymoon with four other sorceress’s who have been under his mentorship for sometime now. Surge was a well known archmage, with his history and talents being recorded amongst wizards and scholars. He was respected. Being a storm sorcerer, Surge claimed that he would be Alora’s best, and only choice for mentorship, fully understanding her powers. Surge had strict rules, Alora quickly learned from the other sorceress’s that they were not allowed into any magical good shops without Surge’s explicit permission, repeated Surge’s viewpoint that the mage college’s don’t teach magic the way Surge does, and that his way of teaching is the best way, and that the college’s spew conflicting and inaccurate information about spell and magic use. Thus, putting Surge and his teachings on a pedestal. Surge also monitored their whereabouts, money use, and they all had curfews. The sorceress’s also shared that Surge took them in when they were in a mentally vulnerable state, praised him, and felt like owed him their life for taking them in. Surge maintained and pushed the belief that power should be respected, and the more powerful can freely look down upon the weaker. Knowing Alora’s natural talents and abilities, pushed that she should be careful with who she conversates with, that not everyone should have the privilege of knowing her or her lending her power for just anything. He very often praised her, even in front of her sorceress sisters, telling them that they would never amount to the power Alora naturally had, even if they tried.

Alora stayed in Silverymoon from the age of 80-120, continuing to develop her powers. She would every now and then visit her family at the grove, still feeling like her grove was truly her home.

Eventually, Alora got noticed by Silverymoon’s Spellguard after a random attack on the outskirts of Silverymoon. When normally mages would volunteer their services for the Spellguard, they requested Alora to join them, and that with her talents, she would give them the edge they needed with the ever-growing dangerous activity surrounding Silverymoon. She made an agreement that she would offer her aid when requested (which was more often than not), so she can maintain her independence and not be sworn to duty as an official member. This is where she developed a lot of her combat, cunning, deception, and, especially, her persuasion talents. She was a natural-born leader. The guard noticed that she was specially talented and proficient in rescue missions. She lead her groups on missions, and never failed. Having the utmost confidence in her abilities, they even started sending her on rescue missions in Menzoberranzan, an extremely dangerous place for surface elves, saving many other surface elves that were captured and enslaved there.

During her time in Silverymoon, and while she was aiding the Spellguard, Alora started becoming suspicious of Surge and his intentions. One day, after many traumatic events that coursed over the passed 40 years, her sisters could not take it anymore, and revealed that Surge abused all of them. He broke their spirits, which hindered the potency of their powers. Some of them, at this point, struggled to conjure the simplest level 2 spells. They also revealed one of Surge’s punishments was that he would use a device to drain their arcana, which then transferred the arcana to him. Suspecting that he is not as naturally talented as he claims, and that the only reason he is as powerful as he is, is because he drains their arcana from them. One of the sorceress’s, the one who has been training under him the longest, overheard Surge talking to one of his followers, people who praised and looked up to Surge, and wanted him to maintain the title of being the most powerful storm sorcerer, that his intentions for Alora was not to truly help her. Deep down, Surge knew Alora was more talented, and could easily become more power than he, yet never wanted her to truly know or admit to that fact. His intentions was to persuade her to stay by his side, in hopes that she would willingly share her power with him, becoming the most powerful storm sorcerers - together. However, in the event Alora refused, he simply planned to mind dominate her, and drain her powers until she became nothing but a husk, killing her.

Alora did some digging, and found a secret hatch under the mansion, finding many of Surge’s journals and communications. These entries revealed many things that had happened over the course of the years, realizing Surge was doing everything in his power to isolate Alora, killing off anyone who became close to her. One of the entries revealed he was behind the ambush that attacked her grove, killing both of her parents at age 107. Hoping that would cut off her link to the grove, keeping Alora at the mansion forever, hoping to break her spirit just enough to make her feel there was nowhere else to go.

In a pit of anger, Alora confronted Surge. After much fighting, Alora killed Surge in self-defence.

Free from Surge, the mansion was turned over to her sorceress sister, the one that had been there the longest. Alora helped train her sisters, and they gained back more than the power they had before. Alora decided she didn’t feel drawn to stay at Silverymoon anymore, with the dark cloud of Surge and the memories lingering over the city. She would visit her sisters and aid the Spellguard when requested, but she decided to stay and linger in the forests. Adventuring to cities, aiding anyone or anything that needed her, while beginning her healing journey, digesting everything that has happened to her.

She lingered until the age of 142, when she sensed an evil presence radiating from Baldur’s Gate. She flew there a handful of times, witnessing the refugee problem, cruelties, and evils festering from within. She provided what aid she could, until a nautiloid came over the city and captured her.

made a character sheet for my dog tav

I made some adjustments as I have been writing my fic (completely unreleased) - and ended up making her a full elf instead of the 3/4ths elf I was trying to make work. The more lore I read the more it was going to be too tricky, so full elf she is. That then left me with a crisis of giving her one of those elf baby names because, again, slut for lore. I had to rename her and all of her siblings to something shorter! I'll add this sheet to my pinned post as well. It's funny how I've wanted to fill out those beautiful character sheet templates people have made, but they were overwhelming, so instead I painstakingly wrote my own out even though I hate my handwriting. I got possessed by something.

⊱ ⸙ ⊰

Fun facts that didn't fit on this sheet:

✷ plays the lute, the piano, and if you get enough drinks in her she'll sing - her mama is a druid/bard yippee ✷ alcoholic ✷ she can't read ✷ because she bonked her head real good in her 20s ✷ other names: Gala, Rose, The Dire Devil, Galvin, Mutt (not preferred)
