One of my favorite innovations with the 3E system was the introduction of the iconic characters (I can't help myself - I just love these guys). However, I have never cared much for the World of Greyhawk. So I’ve decided that it might be fun to try and fit the iconics into the Forgotten Realms.

I’m going to use the Unapproachable East as the "current" location (since it was released not too long ago and it’s just darn cool). I’ll start with my favorite iconic…

Lidda (lightfoot halfling rogue) – Crafty and resourceful, Lidda has never settled in one place for more than a season. She was born in the summer of 1347 DR somewhere on the roads of southern Amn. Most of her early years were spent in the various cities of the Dragon Coast where she refined many of her skills. Since she has set out on her own, she has wandered through Cormyr, Sembia, The Vast, and Impiltur. She now finds herself in Thesk in search of the next big thing…

Here is a list of the iconic characters from the PHB. Personally I find the humans the most difficult to place...

-Dwarves-
Eberk – Shield dwarf cleric of Moradin
Tordek – Shield dwarf fighter

-Elves-
Mialee – Moon elf wizard
Soveliss – Wood elf ranger

-Gnomes-
Gimble – Rock gnome bard
Nebin – Rock gnome illusionist

-Halflings-
Lidda – Lightfoot rogue

-Half-Elves-
Devis – Half-elf (sun elf) bard
Vadania – Half-elf (moon elf) druid

-Half-Orcs-
Krusk – Half-orc barbarian

-Humans-
Alhandra – Paladin
Ember – Monk
Hennet – Sorcerer (Shou?)
Jozan – Cleric of Lathander
Kerwyn – Rogue
Naull – Wizard
Regdar – Fighter

Vadania is a half-elf.

Yes, which is kind of funny, because the way her face is drawn looks more elvish (to me, anyways) than Soveliss does. Mind you, I like both pictures; it's just an interesting contrast.

Thanks, I missed that one. I'll change the list above.

Hmm, I thought Hennet was the blond guy from the PHB. I don't remember him having any Asian features at all. Of course, I could be thinking of someone else.

I'd say that you mixed the elven sub races - at least IMHO:
Mialee - moon elf
Devis - half-sun elf

Thanks. I agree. I'll edit the list above. Also, I want to do Regdar next. I'm thinking he is from Tashalan... not sure though.

I think you're thinking of Devis. Here is a link to a pic of Hennet:

I think Mialee is a sun elf. I mean sure, she has dark hair but her skin is very tan and she has the right haughty, sun elven attitude.
