This tenet doesn't force you to take action against possible harm to innocents at an indefinite time in the future, or to sacrifice your life to protect them. • You must first try to redeem those who commit evil acts, rather than killing them or meting out punishment.

His face is lined and scarred and he has a generally weathered look about him. Personality Grim, sad, horrified by the Last War and utterly disillusioned by life he nevertheless tries to do some good in the world. Perhaps bringing people back into the Light of the Silver Flame will redeem him too. History Franklin was born in Thronehold on 1 Sypheros 963 YK, Ascension Day in the Silver Flame tradition. His birth was greeted with great joy by his father, Captain Alric Talman, who considered it a great omen and thought that his son would grow to be a great hero of the Silver Flame. His mother, Mari, wasn't willing to put such pressure on the boy but her will was pushed aside. Franklin began his training f4om the time he could hold a sword, going through forms, running circuits, lifting weights, studying texts, reading sermons, as far as his father was concerned he would be a faithful paladin on the Silver Flame. At 14 his dragonmark manifested. This pleased Alric and confirmed his belief that his son was destined for greatness. His younger siblings, Matthias, Eric, and Amanda did not have such high expectations. Matthias was to join the clergy and study in Flamekeep. Amanda would marry into another family in the House and produce heirs of Deneith. Little Eric, 7 years Franklin's junior and the baby of the family, was treated as the spare. He received moderate training at arms and education in religion but he was largely left to his own devices. Franklin was sent to Rekkenmark Academy, only a hundred miles north of Thronehold where he studied tactics and history and improved his martial skills. He spent seven years there, returning once a year to visit his family. He began his life as a Sentinel Marshal, often leaving Thronehold to hunt down criminals and bring them to justice. Upon returning home in 992 YK he discovered that thre was a warrant for his brother, Eric. Franklin volunteered to hunt him down, shocked and horrified but confident that he was the best man for the job. Eric was a thief. He'd stolen some minor relic of the church, a silver dagger once owned by a minor saint of the faith, Saint Travon, and fled to Cyre to sell it. It took him two years but he tracked his brother down to a battlefield in Cyre. He was fighting for Cyre against Thrane and Breland but Franklin's duty was clear. He tried to arrest his brother but Eric fought back. Surrounded by warforged, dhakaani mercenaries, Cyrans, Thranes, and Brelish soldiers they exchanged blows. Suddenly the world was filled with light, a light so blinding Franklin thought he'd been killed and joined the Silver Flame itself. When he opened his eyes he was surrounded by the dead. His brother was gone except for misty shape in the air. That mist was rising all around him, coming from the dead and the battlefield beneath them. He ran from it with the mist following him. Questions followed him too. What had caused this? How had he survived? Why had he survived? He met up with other survivors all running for the border. The Mist rose around them. Some simply disappeared into it. Others screamed as the Mist claimed them. By the time he stumbled out into Breland, he was alone again. He spent a month in a refugee camp in Breland until he was able to speak to someone of high enough rank to get released as a member of House Deneith. That month changed him. Being surrounded by people who had lost everything, friends, family, their very nation, mourning his own lost brother, it was overwhelming. He fell to drink and despondency, even when transported to Sharn. He tried to hide who he was, joining the watch for a time as a simple guard but he was too broken and soft hearted for a guardsman. Goals Find out what happened on the Day of Mourning. Find out how and why he survived. Find his faith again. He has not been forsaken but he must rebuild his faith. Stop drinking. -Hero Points: Work with the world of Eberron to be able to use Hero Points. -Ancestry Paragon: This allows people with dragonmarks to keep getting dragonmarks feats and ancestry feats. Regular characters can benefit from channelling the archetype of their ancestry, perhaps as a champion of their people (such as a hero of the Valenar elves). -Pervasive Magic: There is a lot of magic in Eberron, your characters are affected as well but the world is in general low level magic, so creatures won't be adjusted for magic. NPC like magewrights for example would have cantrips or 1st level spells that they can use.
