D&D Of The Arches Wiki

Welcome to the D&D Of The Arches Wiki



Long ago and far away, a band of adventurers traveled the Realm of the Arches, seeking their fortunes and battling evil...

Sulien
Sulien is a human thief who keeps closed lips about his shady past. He now acts as the most practical and level headed member of the band.

Aislinn
Aislinn is a dragonborn woman who claims to be a cleric... or something?

Denny Belaqua
Denny was raised in the port city of Ancoor. She is the heiress of a prosperous merchant family. She spent much of her youth in the capital. When The Usurper took power, she was one of many to be captured and imprisoned in the castle dungeons. She is mistress of inventory and keeps the group's treasures in her magical Bag of Holding. She is well known for her love of men and bloody hijinks.

Princess Sariel
Sariel was the sister to the old king before his suspicious demise. Her sheltered upbringing had prepared her poorly for her escape from the capital. When her half-brother (The Usurper) learned of her location, he destroyed the ship. Her assumed death is the only reason she now lives. The princess was saved from the wreckage by Horagh, Lena, Denny, and their companions. She has been targeted by the dark goddess The Raven Queen for some time. She hopes to one day overthrow her evil brother and claim the throne.

Steve
Steve is a wizard who knows what he wants: horses. He wears a horse mask and can summon Ponyta during battle. He travels with The Wizards Steve, a secretive order of magic users. They are... something like mercenaries.

Steiv
Steiv is a dragonborn cleic who decided to study magic after seeing Steev perform some illusions. He is often distracted from his studies and other adventures by his love of shiny things. He is one of The Wizards Steve, a secretive order of wizards. They are... something like mercenaries.

Steev
Steev is one of The Wizards Steve,  a secretive order of wizards. They are... something like mercenaries. Though he rarely speaks about himself, his association with The Spider indicates a potentially shady past.

The Spider
He is not Varys. Despite being like exactly like Varys in almost every way, he is a totally different morally-ambiguous creep.

Lyra
Distant cousin to the Princess Sariel (third cousin twice removed or second cousin three times removed, it changes), she practices as a bard in the capital city as it was passed down from mother to daughter to take care of the Princess and teach her of the Goddess Vita. She was unable to preform her duties as her mother died when she was young and she and her grandmother were kicked out of the castle when the same sickness took the life of Sariel's mother, Queen Gaben. They wandered the kingdoms for a short bit trying to find the lost Temples of Vita. The only lead they had was in Dieb Turm (Thieves City). After many years of study and meditation she soon came to hear the Goddess talk to her.

She has spent a long time with books and meditation, that she finds being with other people tiresome and becomes shy. She would rather stay with her books, but it had been set apon her to help the good and noble Princess fight the Evil Raven Queen. Although she is not a fighter, she makes up for it by guarding the cart.

Basically the worst.

Lena
Lena is a half-elf druid who prefers the company of animals over humans. Her main companion is a shapeshifter named Malkin, who usually took the form of a large cat. Lena was treating injured animals in the kingswood when she was captured and thrown in prison for being a half-elf. It is there she met Horagh and Denny. She traveled with the group that included Sariel, Denny, Sulien, and Horugh up until the theives city. Her whereabouts remain unknown.

Horagh
Horagh is a young half-orc whose strength could only be matched by her drinking ability. Imprisoned for the crime of being both drunk and a half-orc, she was rescued by her mother, Byzi, and through that rescue ended up with Denny and Lena as her traveling companions. A wild young girl, Horagh relies on brute force over tact in all situations. She traveled with the group until they reached the thieves' city, but the Spider left her and Lena at thieves' guild when he transported the rest of the group away on a quest. Her whereabouts remain unknown.

The Ursuper - King Kerneels
King Kerneels is a half-elf so vile that he murdered his own brother, King Teun, for the crown. He was so despised that his name became a curse, and so the people refer to him only as The Usurper. He is a madman twisted by ambition and self-loathing. Although he is clearly the child of a human and an eladrin, he slaughters any who dared accuse him of it, and declares the mixing of species a vile sin. He has ordered that those born of mixed parentage are to be arrested and imprisoned indefinitely.

The Raven Queen
The Raven Queen is a mystical force with a mysterious vendetta against Princess Sariel. Although she has tormented the adventurers for some time, they recently traveled through time and defeated her in battle.

Byzi
Byzi was the adopted mother of the half-orc Horagh. She was responsible for the rescue of Horagh, Lena and Denny from the Usurper's prison. She aided the group in their quest until Cresent Island where she was revealed to be a servant of the Raven Queen. She was aiding the Raven Queen by murdering refugees or "freeing them from suffering" as she called it. Byzi revealed the group's location to the Raven Queen which lead to the burning of Cresent Island and the deaths of many a half-born refugee. She perished in the fire.

Or did she?

Adventures
There was a time when The Realm of the Arches was prosperous and peaceful. Trade was good, the rulers just, and war unimaginable. However, dark forces conspired to seize power. What had once been a land of simple pleasures turned into an inescapable hell. A new era of mass arrests, brutal slavery, and unspoken terror began. Many citizens were unjustly imprisoned by the order of the new ruler, including Horagh, Lena, Denny, and Byzi.

The group fled the capital of Erste for Ancoor. They after a scuffle with one of the Gouldads and his goons, the continued for  the sanctuary of Crescent Island. On the voyage, the group rescued and was joined by Princess Sariel. The group honed their skills on Crescent Island, but an encounter with an enemy of Sariel, the goddess The Raven Queen, led to the incineration of the island's buildings, fields, and refugee camps.

The group continued to the Dieb Turm, better known as Dagger Point. There, Sariel and Denny obtained several magical items, including Sariel's enchanted sword and Denny's mirror. The two were assisted by Lyra. She's the worst. Afterward, the band broke into the the tower of  Ungesehen University with a new friend, the mysterious Sulien. They eventually gained access to The Spider, an unexpected ally. He introduced them to a group of magicians known as The Wizards Steve.

While Horagh and Lena stayed in the tower, while everyone else continued onward in pursuit of information about The Raven Queen.

Eventually, the group arrived at the bridge city of Brüke where The Raven Queen had once epically battled one of the princesses of the realm. The group traveled back through time with the aid of a mediocre oracle, and killed the Raven Queen. When they were again attacked in a dream-state, they engaged once again in a mystical battle. After narrowly defeating The Raven Queen, the group remained trapped in the past and may have to face an old ally of the goddess.

The adventurers then met Lord Belaqua, Denny's ancestor, to encourage him to move to Ancoor. They then went into the sewer tunnels of the city to resolve a mysterious rat problem, only  to face  ROUS, flaming bats, and an evil block of gelatin. The group met with the wizard Starswirl the Bearded, who revealed that in exchange for several magical artifacts, he would be able to return the adventurers to their own time... In the quest for one of these artifacts, the adventurers left for the desert of Notedorne, where they began exploring a mysterious cavern. Sulien managed to secret away massive amounts of treasure from a chest found in the labyrinth there, and soon after disappeared. The rest of the group contined to a side chamber where they encountered a mysterious gnome and a portal-creaing wand. Although the gnome attempted to kill the group with the aid of souless automatons, the group transformed the gnome into a... watermelon?
