| #1chosen_of_leiraMay 26, 2008 20:17:37 | Hi, I am doing some background research for a character concept for our next 1st level campaign. Here is what I have so far - A cleric/Illusionist of Leira. Thanks to the "Servant of the Fallen" feat in the Lost Empires of Faerun, you can now RP some fun clerical combos. I was reading in some 2E books that the largest temple to Leira is in Prespur. called Mistkeep. Where is Prespur? There is an island of Prespur in the Sea of Fallen Stars, but I didn't think this was the same place. I also gathered some RP info that a follower of Leira would be a compulsive liar, altering their appearance to cause chaos, but not in an evil way. For example, one may see a Leiran follower bursting into a crowded tavern screaming that the Zhents are attacking the city. The Leiran follower would be under the effects of a change self spell to look like a paladin of Torm, thus creating chaos in both the town, and the local temple of Torm. Are there any other ideas you may have to RP this type of character? Thanks in advance for any help. |

If it is accurate. I think it is. Also, the only Prespur I am familiar with is the two Islands in the Sea Of Fallen Stars. |

| #4xmen510May 27, 2008 13:28:41 | No problem. Sorry I can't be of much more help. If you have access, try the 2E Faith & Avatars or Demihuman Dieties sourcebooks. They were very wll done in my opinion. I am not sure but she may have had a write up in Faiths & Pantheons for 3E, but I doubt it. |
