Biography:

Talwyn was born in 1346DR to the love of Sir Lucien Aureliano, paladin of Torm from Tantras and Jacinta Brianna. Sadly though, before the marriage was consecrated by the Tormite Church, Sir Aureliano was killed in battle and his betrothed died during childbirth.

The infant was raised by Sir Aureliano's closest comrade, Sir Daeviadian Turretton, came to collect him and take him to Tantras where he would be trained at first as a paladin of Torm.

The academy of Tantras taught Talwyn how to be a Paladin, what is required for service to Torm and how to dispense Justice & Law to the world. He did not inherit his father’s title and rank and due to this, he had a difficult time at the academy, suffering the jibes and slurs due to his illegitimate birth.

After gaining his spurs at 17 he was dispatched on a diplomatic mission to Kara-Tur with a senior Diplomat and spent the next 4 years travelling there. While there he took up many pastimes such as learning the art of unarmed combat, learning eastern cooking styles, eastern sword styles but most of all, finding love with the king's advisors daughter, the beautiful Lee Tien'shi. They spent 2 years together and were betrothed to one another. It was here that Talwyn received training in the Martial Arts practiced by the Monks of the East.

However before his Monk training could progress beyond novice levels, a civil conflict broke out in the kingdom he was visiting and so he went to war. For four years he fought for the kingdom but grew sicked to the soul of constant war and slaughter. He became near broken by grief and loss of his beloved Lee Tien'shi, his first true love who was killed during an assasination attempt on her father and the king. With the diplomatic mission over and the war concluded, he was granted leave to go forth and find his way in the world.

He became a Knight Errant, selling his sword to those of good & lawful alignment, who needed a strong & fearless warrior to aid their cause. He then returned to the west, recently stopping near the lands of his father, the Vast and fetching up back at Tantras and the Temple of Torms Coming.

From there he was dispatched to Cormyr, to visit the City of Arabel where he spent a year and a half battling the various threats and infestations that plagued the city due to it's unstable place thanks to Tymora having manifested there during the Times of Troubles.
A detailed account of his adventures can be found [url=http://www.eilistraee.com//forums/viewt ... 7:14ku2imy][b:14ku2imy]HERE[/b:14ku2imy][/url:14ku2imy]

An excerpt from the diary, from the last page is here for you to read:

[b:14ku2imy]*A note has been added in another’s handwriting on the last page of the diary*[/b:14ku2imy]

[i:14ku2imy]It was not long after the Paladin Talwyn Aureliano of Torm and his wife Eve Seline fled Cormyr that this diary was received at the Court of the Regent of Cormyr. Once the Regent and Head War Wizard read through the contents was an inquisition held into the state of affairs of the city of Arabel. Witnesses were questioned and events thoroughly investigated.

The corrupt War Wizard Lilyis was tried and convicted of treason and was burned alive at the stake in a public execution for her crimes.

The noble House Bhahiir was destroyed. It name was removed from the rolls of honour. It was also found that many of its members had to be executed for treason and other high crimes against the crown.

A pardon was issued to Talwyn on behalf of the crown although he has never returned to Cormyr.

The Crowns agents have learned that Eve Seline abandoned Talwyn Aureliano not long after they departed Cormyr. Once again, she secretly returned to pursuing her foolish search for a source of eternal youth. Her vain and dangerous obsession quickly drove her to take up vampirism. She found an old vampire who, seduced by her wiles, agreed to turn her into one of the living dead. She then destroyed the old vampire as he disgusted her with his decrepitude. Eve then set about creating a vampire coven of her own making. She insinuated herself into an unsuspecting travelling troupe of bards, slowly murdering each one and turning them into her vampiric slaves.

It is said that Talwyn relentlessly hunted her coven down over a period of months, following her trail of death. He caught her as she was creating more sycophantic vampiric followers who would worship and adore her. He decapitated his insane wife before she grew too powerful and destroyed the coven she had founded. Their bodies were burned and the ashes scattered over a near by salt lake. The Church of Torm granted an annulment of the marriage to the half elven bard Eve Seline, citing her pursuit of darkness and his resolute action in destroying her and the coven of vampires.

Talwyn Aureliano returned to Tantras for a year and was inducted into the Order of the Golden Lions as a Knight Captain and made a Champion of Torm. After a year of service with the Lions, he was given a new mission to return to the West to act as liaison and aid the Dark [drow] Elven cult of Eilistraee. His last known where abouts was said to be Skullport near Waterdeep.

The Crown of Cormyr holds this diary as a record of the service of the Paladin Talwyn Aureliano of Torm to the city of Arabel and the Kingdom of Cormyr.

1377 DR[/i:14ku2imy]

Since he was a Paladin of considerable expertise and combat prowess, it was decided by the Temple elders that he be sent westwards to the lands of the Sword Coast. It had been determined by Torm himself that other goodly faiths be supported and defended as part of the debts of duty. Talwyn was tasked in seeking out those who worshipped Eilistraee, a lesser but benign drow goddess who’s followers’ numbers were small and often mistakenly persecuted by ignorant surface people who saw all drow as being evil vicious killers.

He arrived in Waterdeep and soon made his way to Skullport where he encountered Quile, one of the fabled Seven Sisters and Eilistraee’s high priestess in the west lands. Quile was at first hesitant to accept his offer of service but he soon proved himself by sniffing out and quickly killing a few assassins who were trying to infiltrate the temple. Satisfied that the human paladin was worth keeping around, she sent him out to aid the scattered small communities of Eilistraeen worshippers.



Talwyn is a strikingly handsome man with flashing sea green eyes and short cropped sandy blonde hair. Although he possesses immense physical strength, he is not over muscle bound but has more of an athletic physique which is evidenced by his natural agility and grace. His skin is lightly tanned and dusted with freckles which become numerous if he tans further. He has a ready easy going smile that has a dash of roguishness in it. Due to his Ring of Regeneration, he has no scars or marks on his body despite being wound in combat on countless occasions. Also, because of his exposure to certain magical tomes in the east, his physical constitution is immense and thus he is able to outdrink almost anyone he comes across. This little ability has served him well in past negotiations in which his opposites have sought to ply him with alcohol in order to gain advantage in the talks. He pretends to be drunk in oder for them to let down their guard and thus he gains the advantage. He is a proficient musician and singer and is known to upstage fledgling bards on occasion with his repertoire of songs, some of which are quite colourful and bawdy. He is quick witted and often in a cheerful frame of mind. Although he has suffered great losses and hardships, this has not affected his positive attitude and this has made him quite a formidable warrior. He believes in the strong bonds of comradeship forged in the heat of battle and has often risked his own life in order to save an imperilled companion. His bravery, kindness and compassion have earned him great respect across the lands in which he has travelled. He has remained unattached romantically, preferring to enjoy the closeness and intimacy of an intense affair rather than giving his heart to one completely. An affair between himself and a drow priestess ended amicably when she was forced to leave and travel to Cormyr. He know finds himself at a loose end, waiting for the next adventure to grab him.

General themes:

1 - No Sacrifice No Victory - I swear who ever wrote that script must have been inspired by Torm Anyway, the music is great.
