Initiate of the Black Lotus

the mysterious stranger

Background: The Initiate of the Black Lotus is secretly a member of a rival Dhakaani clan, Clan Azuma. He has successfully infiltrated the Clan of the other PCs. He plans on having this quest return the Lost Crown of Tesh-Naga to its rightful owners: his own people. Black Lotus is a master of shadows and deceit. He has trained all of his life for this moment, to bring great honor to his family. Goals & Motivations: Black Lotus must return to his home with the Lost Crown. However, he is smart enough to know that he needs to use the abilities of the rest of the adventuring party to succeed in getting the crown. If he should fail, it is expected that he perform ritual suicide. Other Characters: Black Lotus has never actually met any of the other characters, due to his recent infiltration of their tribe. You, as player, must create a deceptive web of lies to tell the other players regarding your character and his background. You know that Duurkala Enemys the other races; and that Ghaaldar and Drum-Haak are bitter rivals, competing for leadership of the clan. Use this knowledge to your advantage.

InitiateoftheBlackLotus

Drum-Haak
the silver-tongued deal-maker

Background You are the high priest of your tribe. You are sneaky and subversive, using treachery to gain advantage over your enemies. Your tribe leader, LleshHruuk, is old and dying. You have worked your way into his favor by being a strong leader within the tribe. Most in the tribe respect and fear you and your powers. There are a few, however, who can see through your web of lies and seek to expose you. Goals & Motivations: This adventure must end with the artifact returned to your tribe and you in a superior position than Ghaaldar to ascend as tribal leader. If Ghaaldar should die during an accident on the journey, so much the better. You may choose to start the adventure with one character from the lesser races in manacles. Other Characters: Duurkala Indifferent. In times of need, Duurkala has been known to come to your aid. However, it is clear now that he favors your rival, Ghaaldar, for the position of leader of your tribe. Ghaaldar Enemy. A respectable soldier, he is your chief rival for the position of leader of your tribe. Kulimvorith Potential Ally. The sorcerer is a powerful creature, and has valuable ties to the Lord of Greed. Grimlock, Mavarothix Indifferent. These dim-witted brutes have been malleable to your suggestions, and make capable servants, but you often rely on more subtle means to achieve your ends than they are mentally capable of. You have an advantage with Grimlock, however, as no one else understand the beasts primitive language.

Duurkala
the wise counselor

Background: Duurkala is a wizened old Dhakaani who has seen many things in his lifetime. He is the storyteller and source of wisdom for his tribe, relating tales of the glorious ancient Dhakaani, inspiring young warriors with every tale. Duurkala respects the concepts of honor, and believes strongly in the power of his ancestors. Above all else, Duurkala regards the restoration of the Dhakaani Empire as his primary mission in life, recovering lost artifacts and reclaiming ancient sites as much as he can before he becomes too old to continue. Goals & Motivations: Duurkala wants to recover the Lost Crown of Tesh-naga for his people. He is concerned not with personal power, but with restoring the Dhakaani people to their former glory. He would like to use this quest as proving grounds for the next leader of the tribe, and return with the crown in the hands of his leader. The dilution of the Dhakaani forces by lesser races is a plague that must be stopped. Although you need their help for now, by the end of this adventure the artifact must be returned to your tribe and all of the three lesser creatures (Mavarothix, Kulimvorith, Grimlock) must be destroyed. You may choose to start the adventure with one character from the lesser races in manacles. Other Characters: Ghaaldar Potential Ally. Thinks he is honorable and a solid choice for leader of the tribe. Admires his dedication and loyalty. Drum-Haak Potential Ally. Thinks he is ambitious and resourceful, and respects the accomplishments hes made. He would make a fine leader of the tribe. Mavarothix, Kulimvorith, Grimlock Enemy. Only tolerates the lesser races due to their subservience to the Dhakaani. Is reluctant to have to employ other races for fear of treachery.

Ghaaldar
the brave warrior

Background: Ghaaldar is a brave Dhakaani warrior, following the tribal leadership of Llesh-Hruuk. He is honorable in all his actions, and seeks to return his people to their former glory. Goals & Motivations: Ghaaldar wants to return the Lost Crown to his people. He also has a lining of vanity, and longs to be his tribes hero and leader, following the death of the current, venerable leader. For the time being, you will need Drum-Haaks help in recovering the artifact. For the sake of your people, however, this adventure cannot end with Drum-Haak in a position to ascend to tribal leader. If he does not willingly bow to you, you must gain his obedience by force. You may choose to start the adventure with one character from the lesser races in manacles. Other Characters: Duurkala Friend. Ghaaldar sees Duurkala as an honorable warrior and an invaluable link to the past. He has leaned on Duurkala in times of need before and has always received valuable aid. Drum-Haak Enemy. Drum-Haak is a respected priest in the tribe and very powerful, however he is deceitful and lies often. Ghaaldar is suspicious of Drum-Haak, and fears that his ambition for leadership of the tribe may outweigh his duty to his people. Mavarothix, Kulimvorith Indifferent. The dragonkin are valuable allies, but are ultimately untrustworthy and disposable. Grimlock Potential Ally. Grimlock is a stalwart warrior and a testament to obedience to the Empire. Despite the lack of wit, Grimlock is a creature to be admired.

Grimlock
the dim-witted thug

Background: You are a simple ogre who has been captured and enslaved by the Dhakaani. You have served them faithfully, and have been treated well by most. Your tremendous strength has been put to use countless times by your Dhakaani masters on the field of war and in the silver mines. You long for a return to the time when you used to roam free in the wilderness. As a player, you have a difficult task of roleplaying the language barrier that exists between Grimlock and every other character aside from Drum-Haak. Goals & Motivations: Not long ago, you came into contact with a group of Humans who promised you freedom from the bonds of slavery. They asked only for you to steal a Dhakaani relic in exchange from protection from your cruel masters. You lie awake at nights, unable to stop the gnawing hunger for freedom. This adventure must end with your possession of the Dhakaani artifact to ensure your protection from the Humans. Other Characters: Duurkala, Drum-Haak Enemy. In the past, these Dhakaani have beaten you for little or no reason, showing cruelty where none was needed. Ghaaldar Indifferent. You have a mutual respect for each others combat prowess. He has also given you extra portions of mutton during the night as a reward for your good behavior. Despite this, Ghaaldar still represents the future leadership of the Dhakaani and your continued slavery. Mavarothix, Kulimvorith Indifferent. The dragonkin are polite to you, but do not speak your language, so it is hard to understand them.

Kulimvorith
the proud drake

Background: You are a noble dragonkin, taking your name from your ancestral dragon forbearer, a proud red dragon of the mountains. Your people have been wrongfully enslaved by the brutish Dhakaani empire and forced to serve them. Before your capture, you served as your peoples priest, and had a direct relationship with Tiamat, Dragon God of Greed. Goals & Motivations: The Lost Crown is, in fact, originally an artifact from the golden age of dragons. It rightfully belongs to your people. Unfortunately, you are not in any position to retrieve it yourself, and must abide by the offensive presence of the Dhakaani. You must use your masters to help you get the crown, and then escape with it. This adventure must end with the artifact recovered and in the hands of the Dragonkin people. Other Characters: Duurkala, Ghaaldar Enemy. These two Dhakaani sicken you with their pride in their degenerate race. You delight in the thought that you will one day return with your own dragonkin tribe to destroy them. Drum-Haak Indifferent. This conniving Dhakaani earns a modicum of respect as his ambition and cunning rival that of your own race. Mavarothix Friend. As the only other member of your race, you two have forged a bond of friendship, relying on each other to get you through the tough times. Grimlock Potential Ally. You share an unspoken bond with this thug through the shared suffering of enslavement by the Dhakaani.
