Tiara Solo

Tiara Solo is a female high elf paladin from the elven nobility.

Before setting out in the world, the head of her order gifted her with a pyramid of sticky black incense that smells very bad when lit. It also does not burn down, but instead gives nightmare visions of evil. She studies these visions to recognize true evil (once/day, grants advantage on a religion skill check vs evil religions). The most recent visions have brought her to the town of Orlbar, at the foot of the Greypeak Mountains, as there is a darkness in the nearby Weathercote Wood.

Tiara entered the Weathercote Wood to rescue Darek Brewmont from the Death Knight. In the darkness, her divine sense could feel the pull of something pure and holy. She followed the paths to an unusual Red Tree. She took some leaves and a branch from it, sensing that it may prove useful later. As she continued on her journey, she was ambushed by a trio of goblins. She escaped their net, but not before they landed some solid blows on her before she could slay them. Tiara discovered a rogue's hideout. Upon learning of her quest to defeat the Death Knight, the leader gave her some holy water and a map of his lair, at least as far as they dared venture into it. She later met Mikadus Fairweather, the halfling Merchant, his unusual assistant Domnic and overpacked pony along the river. Further down the river, was a cave. Her divine senses told that the river in front of the cave was all holy water. She filed her waterskin with it. Walking along the path, she found some Grakspores, along with a Cloak of Protection tangled in some branches. In the old Temple of Amaunator, she found a magic quarter staff.

Tiara kissed her blade twice to activate Pulmaria's blessing as she confronted the Death Knight in his lair. It was waiting for her and struck a solid blow. She drank a healing potion and swung back but missed. They exchanged more blows. Tiara ignited her blade with searing flame and struck true, divine radiant energy soared through her blade along with the searing flame, smiting the Death Knight, dropping him. The boy told her she needed to stake him using a branch from the Red True. She grabbed the branch, sharpened it, and plunged it into the Death Knight's lifeless heart, destoying the Death Knight as his body crumbled into dust. She brought the boy home, and claimed her reward.

After destroying the Death Knight of Weathercote Wood, Tiara takes the Oath of Devotion. She commits herself to:

Tiara Solo has arrived at Zhentil Keep, her visions telling her that much evil lives here, and there are folk who need the protection of her holy light. It started as soon as she entered into the city as she rescued a female orc citizen by knocking out the two Zhent guards arresting her for claiming that Manshoon had assassinated this Hawkhelm through his Zhentarim spies and no orc armies approach the Citidel of the Raven.

The next day, she went to spend the reward the Brewmont's had given her in Arcana Lane and in Scimitar Street, although as she journeyed between the two, someone stealthily nicked a lock of her hair. At the Sword In The Forge, Kelelan of Vaasa, a young dark skinned young woman, kissed her in the back room. As Tiara travelled to the Temple of Amaunator, she was almost lured into a trap by Annaya the Sorceress, but managed to defeat her in a close battle. In the Temple of Amaunator, a priest told her that Orthodox Banites are at odds with Fzoul Chembryl's faction of worshippers, as the latter has done a deal with Manshoon and the Black Network. Tiara went to the Temple of Bane, to see what she could learn, and was in the crowd when Fzouhl announced that "three large garrisons will leave Zhentil Keep for the Citadel within the week". She met Rynmor in the Temple of Bane who warned her that she is being watched and will be contacted soon.

Tiara returned to The Zhentil Arms Inn for a short rest, then headed out to Wendal's Essential Victuals to help Wendal as she had promised to find out who had been stealing his shops supplies. In the process, she freed a bunch of goblin slaves from their bugbear overlords. The Bugbear leader Grax was in cahoots with Manshoon and had been holding Moragh and other female goblins prisoner to force the male goblins as slaves to build a tunnel to the Dragonspire Mountains. With the help of zlug and his brother Slug, Tiara defeated Grax and his pet worg, Chopper.

Later that night, she met Teodric, an elf, who belongs to the ancient order of the Knights of Myth Drannor. Tiara was brought to meet Huon Falconhand, the leader of Knights of Myth Drannor in hiding in Zhentil Keep. There were six old men, but she only got a few of their names: Huon, Addy, and Illis. They asked her to find the secret Zhent tunnels the assassins used to enter the Citidel of the Raven and find out those responsible for killing Hawkhelm. They tell her that once she is inside Citidel of the Raven, she must find a Purple Dragon Knight called Sir Steval Skurynd, who can help her.

The next morning, after a long rest, Tiara met Teodric, who would guide her to the base of the Dragonspire Mountains...

Tiara Solo follows the north path through the Dragonspire Mountains, searching for the secret tunnels used by the Zhentarim to infiltrate the Citidel of the Raven. She doesn't have much time, as the Zhents could be planning to take over the fortres anytime.

A humanoid spider critter attacks her from the trees, spitting a web at her but missing. Tiara engaged in melee combat and landed several blows, before the ettercapling bites her with its poisonous bite and pinches her with its claw. Feeling the effects of the poison, she is able to land one more blow, killing it. She trudges on north, and almost gets caught by an old hag. Later that night, Tiara sets up camp and and takes a long rest.

The next morning, she continues north, and comes to a cross roads with three zhent guards. She refuses to pay the toll, and a battle erupts. They were tougher than she thought, but she still claimed victory. Continuing north, she meets Grumm, son of Krumm Dourhand in the Nilythra Gorge. Together, they defeat Karg the Ogre. Grumm points her through the dwarven mining tunnels that lead to tunnels used by humans. Along the way, she is attacked by an Abyssal Maw. She wounds it, but it almost had her when it was slain by Urldyn Rilzynge, a Drow, from the order known as the Jaezred Chaulssin (House of Shadow). Urldyn takes her to meet Merinyon Zauret, their leader, and a human named Selfaril Oumdolfin of Mulmaster, the twin brother Rassendyl, a captain within the Citadel, who is Galauntar Hawkhelm’s true killer. They need her to infiltrate the city and call them when it is time to attack. Merinyon Zauret gives Tiara the incantation "Vhaeraun vuletri" needed to access the drow portals. Tiara takes a long rest in the drow base camp.

The next morning, Tiara continues north and kills a lurking strangler, a very strange creature. She almost succumbs to an illusionary trap, and is injured by another trap on a chest. The drow and the Zhent tunnels are connected through the drow portals, allowing her to get inside the Citadel and find Sir Stevalin in the market. He takes her inside the fortress to a safe spot to rest for the night. The plan is to confront Rassendyl the next day when he is less guarded.

The citadel shakes. Rassendyl has begun a ritual to give himself power from the ancient drow mystic fonts. He and Sir Steven race to the cavern to stop him. Tiara, using the sending stone, tells Selfaril and the drow to attack now. The final battle is chaotic, drow vs zhents, Sir Steven is knocked out by a stealthy hairless humanoid figure. Urldyn and Selfaril engage Rassendyl directly, while Tiara and Merinyon take on Rassendyl's Warlock Priestess. It takes two divine smites to take down the Warlock Priestess. Sefaril falls before Rassendyl, who flees to another chamber. Together, Tiara, Merinyon and Urldyn are able to slay Rassendyl. The drow quickly leave, now that the Zhents no longer soil their mystic fonts. Sir Steven wakes and thanks Tiara for their victory.

Sir Steven annoints Tiara as the first Knight of the North. Mounting her new fine white mare, Tiara heads north, always north, to the plains known as The Ride...
