PALADIN CLASS ABILITIES
Divine SenseThe presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses. | Lay on HandsYour blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level × 5.

As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.

This feature has no effect on undead and constructs. | Dueling Fighting StyleWhen you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon. | Spell CastingBy 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the paladin spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells
The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your paladin spells. To cast one of your paladin spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of paladin spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list. When you do so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level paladin, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of paladin spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a paladin spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 13

Spell attack modifier = 5

Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your paladin spells. | Divine HealthBy 3rd level, the divine magic flowing through you makes you immune to disease. | Divine SmiteStarting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8. | Channel DivinityStorm Strike. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to infuse a ranged or thrown weapon you are holding with the wrath of a storm god. Make a ranged weapon attack as normal. In addition to the weapon attack, you create a line of lightning 5 feet wide and 60 feet long, beginning at you and extending straight toward the target. If the target is less than 60 feet from you, the line of lightning extends beyond it. Each creature in the line takes 2d10 + your paladin level lightning damage, or half damage with a successful Dexterity saving throw. If your ranged or thrown weapon attack hits, the target has disadvantage on its saving throw.

Turn the Unclean. As an action, you present your holy symbol and utter a war cry, using your Channel Divinity. Each aberration or fiend within 30 feet of you that can see or hear you must make a successful Wisdom saying throw or be turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.

Channel Divinity: Storm Strike: 1 Action
Channel Divinity: Turn the Unclean: 1 Bonus Action

RACIAL TRAITS
DarkvisionAccustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. | Unending BreathYou can hold your breath indefinitely while you’re not incapacitated. | Lightning ResistanceYou have resistance to lightning damage. | Mingle with the WindYou know the shocking grasp cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the feather fall spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast the levitate spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast feather fall or levitate with this trait, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast either of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Compelled Duel1st-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You attempt to compel a creature into a duel. One creature that you can see within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is drawn to you, compelled by your divine demand. For the duration, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and must make a Wisdom saving throw each time it attempts to move to a space that is more than 30 feet away from you; if it succeeds on this saving throw, this spell doesn’t restrict the target’s movement for that turn.

The spell ends if you attack any other creature, if you cast a spell that targets a hostile creature other than the target, if a creature friendly to you damages the target or casts a harmful spell on it, or if you end your turn more than 30 feet away from the target.(B,C) | Thunderous Smite1st-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

The first time you hit with a melee weapon attack during this spell’s duration, your weapon rings with thunder that is audible within 300 feet of you, and the attack deals an extra 2d6 thunder damage to the target. Additionally, if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from you and knocked prone.(B,C) | Heart to Heart1st-level necromancy

Components: V, S, M (a drop of your blood)
Duration: 1 hour

For the duration, you and the creature you touch remain stable and unconscious if one of you is reduced to 0 hit points while the other has 1 or more hit points. If you touch a dying creature, it becomes stable but remains unconscious while it has 0 hit points. If both of you are reduced to 0 hit points, you must both make death saving throws, as normal. If you or the target regain hit points, either of you can choose to split those hit points between the two of you if both of you are within 60 feet of each other.*

Divine SenseThe presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses. | Lay on HandsYour blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level × 5.

As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.

This feature has no effect on undead and constructs. | Dueling Fighting StyleWhen you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon. | Spell CastingBy 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the paladin spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells
The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your paladin spells. To cast one of your paladin spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of paladin spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list. When you do so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level paladin, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of paladin spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a paladin spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 13

Spell attack modifier = 5

Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your paladin spells. | Divine HealthBy 3rd level, the divine magic flowing through you makes you immune to disease. | Divine SmiteStarting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8. | Channel DivinityStorm Strike. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to infuse a ranged or thrown weapon you are holding with the wrath of a storm god. Make a ranged weapon attack as normal. In addition to the weapon attack, you create a line of lightning 5 feet wide and 60 feet long, beginning at you and extending straight toward the target. If the target is less than 60 feet from you, the line of lightning extends beyond it. Each creature in the line takes 2d10 + your paladin level lightning damage, or half damage with a successful Dexterity saving throw. If your ranged or thrown weapon attack hits, the target has disadvantage on its saving throw.

Turn the Unclean. As an action, you present your holy symbol and utter a war cry, using your Channel Divinity. Each aberration or fiend within 30 feet of you that can see or hear you must make a successful Wisdom saying throw or be turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.

RACIAL TRAITS

You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. | Unending BreathYou can hold your breath indefinitely while you’re not incapacitated. | Lightning ResistanceYou have resistance to lightning damage. | Mingle with the WindYou know the shocking grasp cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the feather fall spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast the levitate spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast feather fall or levitate with this trait, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast either of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You attempt to compel a creature into a duel. One creature that you can see within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is drawn to you, compelled by your divine demand. For the duration, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and must make a Wisdom saving throw each time it attempts to move to a space that is more than 30 feet away from you; if it succeeds on this saving throw, this spell doesn’t restrict the target’s movement for that turn.

The spell ends if you attack any other creature, if you cast a spell that targets a hostile creature other than the target, if a creature friendly to you damages the target or casts a harmful spell on it, or if you end your turn more than 30 feet away from the target.(B,C) | Thunderous Smite1st-level evocation

For the duration, you and the creature you touch remain stable and unconscious if one of you is reduced to 0 hit points while the other has 1 or more hit points. If you touch a dying creature, it becomes stable but remains unconscious while it has 0 hit points. If both of you are reduced to 0 hit points, you must both make death saving throws, as normal.

PALADIN CLASS ABILITIES
Divine SenseThe presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses. | Lay on HandsYour blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level × 5.

As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.

This feature has no effect on undead and constructs. | Dueling Fighting StyleWhen you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon. | Spell CastingBy 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the paladin spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells
The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your paladin spells. To cast one of your paladin spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of paladin spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list. When you do so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level paladin, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of paladin spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a paladin spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 13

Spell attack modifier = 5

Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your paladin spells. | Divine HealthBy 3rd level, the divine magic flowing through you makes you immune to disease. | Divine SmiteStarting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8. | Channel DivinityStorm Strike. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to infuse a ranged or thrown weapon you are holding with the wrath of a storm god. Make a ranged weapon attack as normal. In addition to the weapon attack, you create a line of lightning 5 feet wide and 60 feet long, beginning at you and extending straight toward the target. If the target is less than 60 feet from you, the line of lightning extends beyond it. Each creature in the line takes 2d10 + your paladin level lightning damage, or half damage with a successful Dexterity saving throw. If your ranged or thrown weapon attack hits, the target has disadvantage on its saving throw.

Turn the Unclean. As an action, you present your holy symbol and utter a war cry, using your Channel Divinity. Each aberration or fiend within 30 feet of you that can see or hear you must make a successful Wisdom saying throw or be turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.

Channel Divinity: Storm Strike: 1 Action
Channel Divinity: Turn the Unclean: 1 Bonus Action

RACIAL TRAITS
DarkvisionAccustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. | Unending BreathYou can hold your breath indefinitely while you’re not incapacitated. | Lightning ResistanceYou have resistance to lightning damage. | Mingle with the WindYou know the shocking grasp cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the feather fall spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast the levitate spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast feather fall or levitate with this trait, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast either of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

FIRST LEVEL (Paladin)

Compelled Duel1st-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You attempt to compel a creature into a duel. One creature that you can see within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is drawn to you, compelled by your divine demand. For the duration, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and must make a Wisdom saving throw each time it attempts to move to a space that is more than 30 feet away from you; if it succeeds on this saving throw, this spell doesn’t restrict the target’s movement for that turn.

The spell ends if you attack any other creature, if you cast a spell that targets a hostile creature other than the target, if a creature friendly to you damages the target or casts a harmful spell on it, or if you end your turn more than 30 feet away from the target.(B,C) | Thunderous Smite1st-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

The first time you hit with a melee weapon attack during this spell’s duration, your weapon rings with thunder that is audible within 300 feet of you, and the attack deals an extra 2d6 thunder damage to the target. Additionally, if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from you and knocked prone.(B,C) | Heart to Heart1st-level necromancy

For the duration, you and the creature you touch remain stable and unconscious if one of you is reduced to 0 hit points while the other has 1 or more hit points. If you touch a dying creature, it becomes stable but remains unconscious while it has 0 hit points. If both of you are reduced to 0 hit points, you must both make death saving throws, as normal. If you or the target regain hit points, either of you can choose to split those hit points between the two of you if both of you are within 60 feet of each other.*

APPEARANCE

Age 439 | Height 5' 9" | Weight 126 lbs. | Hair Ash Brown| Eyes Pale Blue | Complexion Fair

She stood before the mirror in her room above This is the Way, as she did every morning. Her pale blue eyes, the color of a frozen lake, stared back at her. Andzelika Matylda Omazeiros stood there wondering. Wondering when she would be able to afford an apartment and not a room. Wondering when her partner would realize they need to charge full price to every customer for their services. Wondering when she would stop focusing on Zobeck so she could bring answers to her family and prove to the River Court that there was something to investigate regarding her sister’s death. Wondering when the Void would open up all its mysteries to her.

"Ugh." She moaned to herself as her thin hands reached up to her face in frustration. Her bony fingers pushed through her long brown hair, the color of ash trees. Loose strands fell to the sides, but she pulled most of the mass of thick locks into a short braid before tying it at the nape of her neck, letting the tendrils of waves loose to fall upon her back or over her shoulder.

The scent of bacon, sausage, eggs, butter, bread, and cheese wafted through the floorboards, causing her nose to wrinkle. Matylda enjoyed all those items, but humans liked far heavier meals than she had ever been able to get used to. Her lithe frame spoke of her eating habits. Many small meals throughout the day, not two or three large ones. But she knew Sture would have her usual waiting, a simple piece of toast, a few slices of sausage and fresh fruit, along with a cup of hot tea.

The elven woman slipped on her customary olive green pants. The color and fit were uniquely hers, they draped loosely from her hips waving in the wind as she walked. So very different from the tight-fitted attire most women wore. Her black long-sleeved shirt, however, was a snug fit, revealing her curves, but the high-neck hid the valuables from prying eyes. Finally, before leaving for her morning meal, Matylda secured the silver clasp and chain to her ear. Although she had left the River Court, some traditions remained. This was one.

BACKSTORY

Ulorian the First is an idiot and the Omazeiros family are cowards. It has been over 300 years since she has been to the River Court, but her opinion still holds and will tell any who ask.

For 130 years, Andzelika Matylda Omazeiros had lived in happy ignorant bliss. She played music and danced. Her laughter was contagious to whoever heard it and she flitted from gala to gala without a care in the world. But on her 131st birthday that all changed. Halina was found dead a few miles outside of town. Halina Stefcia Omazeiros, Matylda’s older sister, was found laying on a fey road, unable to be healed. The cause of her death was obvious, she had bled out. However, the clerics could not determine what caused the bleeding. There were no injuries to her body, yet the reports stated her head was cradled in a pool of her own sanguine fluid. The exodus of her life appeared to happen through her nose, ears, mouth, and eyes. The pinch that remained between her brow indicated she suffered through her last moments, but no answers could be provided to the family that loved her.

The youngest of the Omazeiros clan refused to accept what the healers stated. "There are some answers we may never have." It was unfathomable to Matylda that this was a valid response. She was even more infuriated that her parents and siblings buried Halina without demanding further investigations. The headstrong youth took the matter into her own hands.

For 15 years she kept a log of her findings. She visited the site where her sister was found, she interviewed those who discovered her and those who traveled the roads frequently. Matylda used her family’s influence to garner a meeting with their leader, pleading her case that more needed to be done. That there was an unknown threat to their borders. But the King simply thanked her for her concern and told her to leave it to the professionals who had found nothing.

The once sweet and innocent elven maiden became infuriated. Where her laughter had previously caused all others to join her delightful sound, now her sharp clipped words of admonishment caused all to leave her side. The King wanted it left to professionals, and so she would become one. After her meeting with the high court, Matylda announced she was leaving for the Free City of Zobeck to study Criminology. If those who were schooled in the elven city could not find the cause of her sister’s demise, she would seek knowledge from the humans and return to solve the crime with skills her people had forgotten.

Her family was shocked by the announcement. Their youngest was not only stating that the courts had failed Halina, but that humans would be able to offer her knowledge she could not gain in River Court. And even worse, leaving meant they would have to disown her, write her off as though she never existed. In less than 20 years her parents lost two of their four children, her brothers went from having two sisters to none. Matylda knew of the laws, but she hoped her family would be courageous enough to defy them. She was wrong, their status with their people meant more to them.

She slipped out in the middle of the night, knowing there would be no fond farewell. This was easier. A note was left on the kitchen table, promising she would return when she had answers.

The next 300 years found Matylda exactly where she said she would be, not that her family sought her out. Upon arriving in Zobeck, the headstrong elf entered Dorblythe University. After 15 years, she left the campus with four doctorates, Criminal Psychology, Criminology, Forensic Science, and Investigative Reporting. Her excessive knowledge on these topics led to her recruitment with the Praetors. To this day, she is still an advisor, keeping their identities secret. Nearly 100 years later, frustrated by her ineffectiveness with finding any further details on the curious end to her sister's life, Matylda decided to investigate a path towards magical answers. She studied at the Arcane Collegium, utilizing her existing degrees to gain acceptance into the Bardic Criminology degree path.

Throughout her years among the humans, Matylda had experienced many friendships and relationships. However, each ended over time with a feeling of disconnection. Her human companions aged and drifted away from her as she was unable to recognize the burden they felt in keeping up with her ageless youthfulness. They each still hold a place in her heart, and thinks of them with fondness, though a part of her is bitter their short lives prevented a more full relationship. It was early in her dalliance with Nancy that the River Court native met a fellow elf. The night the three of them spent together was memorable, and led to a friendship that has survived the test of time, but also established that romantic endeavors between them would never be.

Matylda and Lyyren found working together enjoyable, however, and joined forces through the Great Revolt, forging their bond in battle. Less than a year later they formed a business to service the community still recovering from their self-inflicted wounds. However, this did not prevent the bardic student from continuing her studies.

While working on a research paper in the City Archives, the elven student came upon a bit of curious information. A detail regarding the fey roads was barely a sidenote on a subject related to Zobeck, however, it piqued her curiosity. The location referenced was near where Halina was found. It may have been nothing, but this was the first time in over two centuries that she had something to go off of. Finally, she would be able to use her education in the field, for the purpose she had been studying!

Lyyren offered to travel with her, knowing the journey was long and potentially interacting with her family or the River Court could be problematic, but she insisted on going alone. Following her memory, Maty first returned to the place where Halina was found. Then, using her notes, she traced her way deep into the wood. Small markings, barely noticed sigils, all led her to an ancient ruin. All that remained was a small stone structure. Her head began to throb, her eyes blurred and blood began to trickle from her nose, but she persevered. Her determination was rewarded with a small tome covered in moss and mold. Cracking open the pages, the bardic student felt herself falling into the foreign script, consumed by it. She heard voices she couldn’t see, she could smell life and death, she could taste the blood pooling in her mouth.

Knowing she had found what caused her sister’s death, but unsure of what it was or what it meant, she took the book and ran. Matylda did not visit her family, she did not return to the River Court to show the King. Instead, she returned to Zobeck where she fervently poured over the new knowledge, hoping to unlock its mysteries. The event had changed her, though she would not admit it. The Arcane Collegium called her new interest the Void. She was told to destroy the tome and forget what she had seen. Refusing to do so, the elf was expelled, once again cast away.

Surprisingly, Lyyren stayed by her side, offering kind words while attempting to get the strong-willed woman to discard the studies on the Void. Over the last 65 years she has toiled away studying all she can on the Void, but the process has been painstakingly slow as the repercussions of the darkness are often mind-numbing. If not for her friendship with the fellow elf, she certainly would have lost her mind decades ago. Her familiar, Wrozka, reminds her of the dangers daily.

She slipped out in the middle of the night, knowing there would be no fond farewell. This was easier. A note was left on the kitchen table, promising she would return when she had answers.

The next 300 years found Matylda exactly where she said she would be, not that her family sought her out. Upon arriving in Zobeck, the headstrong elf entered Dorblythe University. After 15 years, she left the campus with four doctorates, Criminal Psychology, Criminology, Forensic Science, and Investigative Reporting. Her excessive knowledge on these topics led to her recruitment with the Praetors. To this day, she is still an advisor, keeping their identities secret. Nearly 100 years later, frustrated by her ineffectiveness with finding any further details on the curious end to her sister's life, Matylda decided to investigate a path towards magical answers. She studied at the Arcane Collegium, utilizing her existing degrees to gain acceptance into the Bardic Criminology degree path.

Throughout her years among the humans, Matylda had experienced many friendships and relationships. However, each ended over time with a feeling of disconnection. Her human companions aged and drifted away from her as she was unable to recognize the burden they felt in keeping up with her ageless youthfulness. They each still hold a place in her heart, and thinks of them with fondness, though a part of her is bitter their short lives prevented a more full relationship. It was early in her dalliance with Nancy that the River Court native met a fellow elf. The night the three of them spent together was memorable, and led to a friendship that has survived the test of time, but also established that romantic endeavors between them would never be.

Matylda and Lyyren found working together enjoyable, however, and joined forces through the Great Revolt, forging their bond in battle. Less than a year later they formed a business to service the community still recovering from their self-inflicted wounds. However, this did not prevent the bardic student from continuing her studies.

While working on a research paper in the City Archives, the elven student came upon a bit of curious information. A detail regarding the fey roads was barely a sidenote on a subject related to Zobeck, however, it piqued her curiosity. The location referenced was near where Halina was found. It may have been nothing, but this was the first time in over two centuries that she had something to go off of. Finally, she would be able to use her education in the field, for the purpose she had been studying!

Lyyren offered to travel with her, knowing the journey was long and potentially interacting with her family or the River Court could be problematic, but she insisted on going alone. Following her memory, Maty first returned to the place where Halina was found. Then, using her notes, she traced her way deep into the wood. Small markings, barely noticed sigils, all led her to an ancient ruin. All that remained was a small stone structure. Her head began to throb, her eyes blurred and blood began to trickle from her nose, but she persevered. Her determination was rewarded with a small tome covered in moss and mold. Cracking open the pages, the bardic student felt herself falling into the foreign script, consumed by it. She heard voices she couldn’t see, she could smell life and death, she could taste the blood pooling in her mouth.

Knowing she had found what caused her sister’s death, but unsure of what it was or what it meant, she took the book and ran. Matylda did not visit her family, she did not return to the River Court to show the King. Instead, she returned to Zobeck where she fervently poured over the new knowledge, hoping to unlock its mysteries. The event had changed her, though she would not admit it. The Arcane Collegium called her new interest the Void. She was told to destroy the tome and forget what she had seen. Refusing to do so, the elf was expelled, once again cast away.

Surprisingly, Lyyren stayed by her side, offering kind words while attempting to get the strong-willed woman to discard the studies on the Void. Over the last 65 years she has toiled away studying all she can on the Void, but the process has been painstakingly slow as the repercussions of the darkness are often mind-numbing. If not for her friendship with the fellow elf, she certainly would have lost her mind decades ago. Her familiar, Wrozka, reminds her of the dangers daily.

APPEARANCE

Age 439 | Height 5' 9" | Weight 126 lbs. | Hair Ash Brown| Eyes Pale Blue | Complexion Fair

She stood before the mirror in her room above This is the Way, as she did every morning. Her pale blue eyes, the color of a frozen lake, stared back at her. Andzelika Matylda Omazeiros stood there wondering. Wondering when she would be able to afford an apartment and not a room. Wondering when her partner would realize they need to charge full price to every customer for their services. Wondering when she would stop focusing on Zobeck so she could bring answers to her family and prove to the River Court that there was something to investigate regarding her sister’s death. Wondering when the Void would open up all its mysteries to her.

"Ugh." She moaned to herself as her thin hands reached up to her face in frustration. Her bony fingers pushed through her long brown hair, the color of ash trees. Loose strands fell to the sides, but she pulled most of the mass of thick locks into a short braid before tying it at the nape of her neck, letting the tendrils of waves loose to fall upon her back or over her shoulder.

The scent of bacon, sausage, eggs, butter, bread, and cheese wafted through the floorboards, causing her nose to wrinkle. Matylda enjoyed all those items, but humans liked far heavier meals than she had ever been able to get used to. Her lithe frame spoke of her eating habits. Many small meals throughout the day, not two or three large ones. But she knew Sture would have her usual waiting, a simple piece of toast, a few slices of sausage and fresh fruit, along with a cup of hot tea.

The elven woman slipped on her customary olive green pants. The color and fit were uniquely hers, they draped loosely from her hips waving in the wind as she walked. So very different from the tight-fitted attire most women wore. Her black long-sleeved shirt, however, was a snug fit, revealing her curves, but the high-neck hid the valuables from prying eyes. Finally, before leaving for her morning meal, Matylda secured the silver clasp and chain to her ear. Although she had left the River Court, some traditions remained. This was one.

BACKSTORY

Ulorian the First is an idiot and the Omazeiros family are cowards. It has been over 300 years since she has been to the River Court, but her opinion still holds and will tell any who ask.

For 130 years, Andzelika Matylda Omazeiros had lived in happy ignorant bliss. She played music and danced. Her laughter was contagious to whoever heard it and she flitted from gala to gala without a care in the world. But on her 131st birthday that all changed. Halina was found dead a few miles outside of town. Halina Stefcia Omazeiros, Matylda’s older sister, was found laying on a fey road, unable to be healed. The cause of her death was obvious, she had bled out. However, the clerics could not determine what caused the bleeding. There were no injuries to her body, yet the reports stated her head was cradled in a pool of her own sanguine fluid. The exodus of her life appeared to happen through her nose, ears, mouth, and eyes. The pinch that remained between her brow indicated she suffered through her last moments, but no answers could be provided to the family that loved her.

The youngest of the Omazeiros clan refused to accept what the healers stated. "There are some answers we may never have." It was unfathomable to Matylda that this was a valid response. She was even more infuriated that her parents and siblings buried Halina without demanding further investigations. The headstrong youth took the matter into her own hands.

For 15 years she kept a log of her findings. She visited the site where her sister was found, she interviewed those who discovered her and those who traveled the roads frequently. Matylda used her family’s influence to garner a meeting with their leader, pleading her case that more needed to be done. That there was an unknown threat to their borders. But the King simply thanked her for her concern and told her to leave it to the professionals who had found nothing.

The once sweet and innocent elven maiden became infuriated. Where her laughter had previously caused all others to join her delightful sound, now her sharp clipped words of admonishment caused all to leave her side. The King wanted it left to professionals, and so she would become one. After her meeting with the high court, Matylda announced she was leaving for the Free City of Zobeck to study Criminology. If those who were schooled in the elven city could not find the cause of her sister’s demise, she would seek knowledge from the humans and return to solve the crime with skills her people had forgotten.

Her family was shocked by the announcement. Their youngest was not only stating that the courts had failed Halina, but that humans would be able to offer her knowledge she could not gain in River Court. And even worse, leaving meant they would have to disown her, write her off as though she never existed. In less than 20 years her parents lost two of their four children, her brothers went from having two sisters to none. Matylda knew of the laws, but she hoped her family would be courageous enough to defy them. She was wrong, their status with their people meant more to them.

She slipped out in the middle of the night, knowing there would be no fond farewell. This was easier. A note was left on the kitchen table, promising she would return when she had answers.

The next 300 years found Matylda exactly where she said she would be, not that her family sought her out. Upon arriving in Zobeck, the headstrong elf entered Dorblythe University. After 15 years, she left the campus with four doctorates, Criminal Psychology, Criminology, Forensic Science, and Investigative Reporting. Her excessive knowledge on these topics led to her recruitment with the Praetors. To this day, she is still an advisor, keeping their identities secret. Nearly 100 years later, frustrated by her ineffectiveness with finding any further details on the curious end to her sister's life, Matylda decided to investigate a path towards magical answers.
