The village is called Stonepoint Village, and it is located on a Cliff near the ocean. The village is protected by magic which cloaks it from prying eyes and keeps unwanted visitors out. **Significant Other:** **Cause of Death:** Saved an ally from death and their own life at the hands of a [[Behir]] named [[Lludd]] #### **Backstory:** > [!abstract] **GUILD ARCHIVE • PERSONAL HISTORY** > Ashani and Fergal were born under a storm of blue and purple lightning, marked by lavender skin and purple hair. The Prophecy: >> *When skies are torn by lightning of amethyst and cerulean flame,* >> *children born in the storm’s fury shall bear the mark of ocean’s wrath.* >> *With skin brushed by tempests and hair woven of storms,* >> *they are bound to the tides of fate.* >> *For the Gods of the Deep shall seek them,* >> *drawn by powers both blessed and cursed.* >> *Across shadowed waters and beneath starlit waves,* >> *they will walk the path between mortal and divine,* >> *harbingers of secrets that slumber in the sea’s darkest depths* > Village elders whispered that those born beneath such storms would be claimed by the Sea Gods. Ash felt a deep connection to the ocean and, by Adulthood, joined the crew of *The Storm’s Eye*, a legendary merchant ship, leaving his village for life at sea. > One night, a violent storm threatened the ship, and Fergal and Ashani called upon [[Valkur , Hero God|Valkur]], the god of sailors, for aid. Lightning surged through their joined hands, calming the storm and saving the crew. Taking this as a sign, Fergal pledged himself to [[Valkur , Hero God|Valkur]], becoming a Tempest Cleric devoted to protecting his shipmates. > Years later, an unspeakable horror rose from the depths, an eldritch creature shrouded in darkness, with writhing tendrils and eyes that gleamed with unnatural light. Its form seemed to shift and contort, barely comprehensible, and its presence filled the crew with a primal terror. In the chaos, Fergal saved Ashani, but as he struck the creature, it ensnared him, turning his body to stone as it dragged him into the depths. > At last, a voice pierced his isolation not [[Valkur , Hero God|Valkur]]’s, but [[Umberlee, the Queen of the Sea]]. She offered him freedom if he swore loyalty to her instead. Desperate, Fergal accepted, shattering his stone prison and emerging with a gem embedded in his forehead a symbol of his pact and Umberlee’s claim on him. > Now, Fergal sails once more, haunted by his choice, bound to serve the Sea Queen’s will and caught between loyalty to his family, his lost faith, and the dark depths that now command him, And a Journey to discover the fate of the crew and what that being was that fateful night. #### Playlist <iframe style="border-radius:12px" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/4mO444fOfMzgl9TJGrAVhl?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy"></iframe>
