Character Introduction – Lazan Silvershaper

This character is being played by Chris.

Lazan is a wanderer, a Halfling far removed from his home. Lost, became a druid to survive the wild, and hopes to one day find his way home again, with stories and shinies to show everyone how awesome he is.

Lazan’s mentor, Dareleth, a Half-elf, saved his life after Lazan was separated from his family. Dareleth is very quiet, and usually distrustful of strangers; a complete loner, almost a hermit, in her own right, making her adoption of Lazan rather uncharacteristic. She never once gave a reason for saving the young Halfling, and after a while he just stopped asking why.

In his youth, Lazan made the acquaintance of Tasrod, a grizzled old Dwarf warrior who became a sort of inspiration for a young Lazan. In Lazan’s travels, he ran across a merchant caravan under attack by hobgoblins. Before Lazan had the chance to decide to flee for his own life or attempt to assist the caravan, he saw that a Dwarf had already felled three of the hobgoblins single-handedly without ever putting down his mug. Lazan was instantly enthralled with Tasrod’s fighting prowess, and introduced himself. As their friendship grew, Lazan was forever imprinted with many of Tasrod’s own personality traits, including a love for heroic tall tales, alcohol, and fighting. (Learning how to drink at the feet of a dwarf does funny things to one’s tolerance.)

Ties to: Dorn Deckard

The two met in a tavern and found themselves in a drunken brawl; when the dust settled, they were both taken to jail. They bonded drunkenly post-brawl.

Contrast: Kevara Bloodbane

Kevara’s innate curiosity about everything serves little more than a constant annoyance. There’s also a bit of apprehension inside of him, as he tends to think of Dragonborn and dragons interchangeably, so he’s worried that she’ll “hoard” his share of the treasure.
