| #1ZireaelAug 28, 2009 5:13:22 | I'd like to see your opinion on the children of the mentioned couples. Some kids are official, the existence of some is my theory. The time is 1400 DR, and I'd like to see the short write-up (AL race class level) in 3.5. I'd like to see some of your ideas.
Vala + Dexon Takari + Kuhl Calihye + Artemis Amnestria + Elaith Ellery + Jarlaxle Arilyn + Danilo elf female + Elaith (that is, Azariah) Tanalasta + Rowen (that is, Azoun V) Maura + Lamruil |
| #2suin_bahhar_02Aug 28, 2009 12:11:10 | I'll chime in on the one couple I know a little bit: Maura and Lamruil Maura seemed very headstrong (i.e. high Cha and Wisdom) and seemed strong for a human girl (high Str and Con) Lamruil is more of a witty type (high Cha and Int) good with both reflexes and coordination (high Dex even for an elf) Their halfelf child will gravitade depending on gender. So a girl would likely be a strong halfelf ranger (favouring a twoweapon build) and a boy towards the more roguish types (cunning bard or rogue build).
|
| #3ZireaelAug 29, 2009 2:02:36 | BIG thanks for the reply! I'm wondering about the others now. And I've found new interesting couples, too: Ashemmi + Dag Zoreth Ilnezhara + Jarlaxle (but I prefer Ellery) Simbul + Elminster Ilsevele + Fflar |
| #4ZireaelAug 31, 2009 12:46:40 | A few more. Shandril + Narm (they had a girl, or so I heard) Laeral + Khelben (Krehlan and his twin, I need something about his twin) Ruha + Lander Please, big please, answer! I know something about young king Azoun, and the Maura's child, but I'd like to hear more from you. |
| #5ZireaelSep 04, 2009 7:44:19 | Please! No one has any ideas? I won't believe it. |
| #6gomeztooSep 04, 2009 9:51:02 | Let's pray to Chauntea that Elminster and Simbul never have children... |
| #7quale1Sep 04, 2009 11:26:05 | I can't really speculate, there's too many possibitlies, and most of these characters didn't really have a detailed, distinct personality, and with genes you never know with all the info. Ok, one, Vala and Dexon, hairy, burly and big child. |
| #8ZireaelSep 04, 2009 11:40:23 | Uh, I was asking about the couples from the Return of the Archwizards. So, Vala (maybe) with Galaeron, and Keya with Dexon. The idea is hilarious though. As for El and Simbul - why would it be that bad? |
| #9quale1Sep 04, 2009 11:57:11 |
Hmm Vala and Galaeron, strong-willed, independent, brave, skillful in magic and swordplay, a bit cynical, not so cheerful. Keya and Dexon, a calmer child, responsible, black hair, don't know. For Simbul and El, pretty sure it would be a sex fiend, and with all that arcane talent very dangerous. |
| #10LordManshoonSep 04, 2009 14:40:24 | Just going to describe the ones I remember. Sorry I don't have time to give them stat write-ups, but still. EDIT: Added a couple more. Takari + Kuhl - I imagine a son, favoring his mother's elven features. Deep bond with nature, spends his leisure time exploring the wilds. His relationship with his mother is strong. He didn't have his father to raise him, so Takari did all the work. Doesn't consider Galaeron much of a father figure, and may resent him for his treatment of Takari (she's one of his lady loves). I'm picturing a Ranger, although Druid is also tempting. Perhaps he one day chooses to return to Evereska to see if he will be accepted, or heads to Myth Drannor to start anew. Alignment wise? I'd say CN. Vala + Galaeron - I'm going with son again. Fiery eyes and pointed teeth, which he often flashes in a dangerous grin. Doesn't much care for his father's heritage. He admires the finesse and wisdom of his elven blood, aye, but he considers hiding away in a cloaked city unimpressive, compared with the hardy fortitude of his mother's people. Proficient with handaxes, and sacrifices reach for sheer strength. Loves his parents, but he doesn't get along with Takari's son, with whom he grew up. He considers Takari's son to be a gloomy pain in the arse, and he isn't too fond of the resentment he sees in the other man's eyes whenever Galaeron is around. Whereas Takari's son is reserved and focused, Vala's is more of a wild child. He can easily lose himself in battle, and he's a whirlwind when angered. Fighter (though a bit of Barbarian is tempting). CG (he's got a good heart, even if he can be pretty fierce). Calihye + Artemis - A daughter, sharp-eyed and lithe with a thick mane of hair. She's charming and knows how to use her looks to her advantage. Has nimble fingers and a dazzling smile. Scrounged together a life with her mother before setting out on her own. A talented thief who, when cornered, goes for the jugular. Not the assassin her father is, but she's not too shabby at picking off a target for a price. Rogue or Assassin, or both. CN as well. Amnestria + Elaith - A daughter (take that, Arilyn). Doesn't possess the vigor her mother had, nor the keen wit her father possessed. I imagine her as being rather blase about most things. Not because she considers herself high and mighty, but because she feels disconnected from the world. Rarely smiles or frowns, prefers a neutral expression at all times, and has practiced not to let her eyes betray her feelings. Isn't sociable, though she'll be polite when forced in a social situation. Regal and almost ethereal; her fey heritage would literally leave non-fey spellbound by her beauty and grace. I'm thinking along the lines of Sorceress, NG. Arilyn + Danilo - Already covered this one, my friend. *wink wink* elf female + Elaith (that is, Azariah) - Rose to power in her father's syndicate at a young age (basically her late teens). She isn't as cunning as her father, but she's every bit as intelligent and calculating. Considers Waterdeep a pearl for her taking. Harbors no ill will towards her father and has no intentions of betraying him. Rather short even for an elf, with silvery hair and striking blue eyes. Skilled with a sword, but prefers going sword and dagger. Very strong about her religious convictions. Considers the Seldarine the greatest deities of all, and looks down upon other gods. Knows the identities of a couple Masked Lords, too. Gets along well with Arilyn and her bloodline. Elaith kept her in the dark about his bond with Arilyn and Amnestria. I'd go Rogue/Wizard. CG (or maybe CN). Tanalasta + Rowen (that is, Azoun V) - Well, he'd be a chip off his grandfather's block. I.e. bedding every lass in sight. It's his namesake. Very level-headed and likes to think things through, considers all possibilities. Extremely intelligent, perhaps the most intelligent man to ever rule Cormyr. Disdains injustice, and though he accepted the strength of the nobles, he didn't let them hold their power over the heads of the commoners. Skilled at swordplay and strategy, with a love of military texts and foreign literature. Worships Chauntea and Tempus moreso than any other deities. Fighter all the way. LG. Simbul + Elminster - Silver-haired male, with a long mane of hair. You guessed it. Total nymphomaniac. Seriously. This kid's got a problem. I'm envisioning a son, just so El can be surpassed in the lechery department. A helluva spellcaster, and blew his peers out of the water. Grew up in the Dalelands and studied under his father, then roamed the continent upon coming of age. Mastered his art and puts it to good use - by slaying those who threaten the innocent. Big proponent of justice, and the execution of such. Considered a vigilante by most folk (the Dalesmen being a notable exception). Wizard/Sorceror, surprise surprise. And believe it or not (I know, total mindblow)... LN. |
| #11Nai_CalusSep 04, 2009 19:03:08 | Though on the subject of Lamruil+Maura, I don't think they would have actually had time to have children, and if they'd had any it seems likely they would have died in the fall of Auseriel, or disappeared with their mother. (Grgh, why did they have to do that anyway, it's not like the plot thread will ever have anything at all done with it, yeah, let's just leave it hanging with more annoying tragedy, next time let's remember what plot threads have already gotten picked up on and used shall we...) |
| #12ZireaelSep 05, 2009 3:35:51 |
Thank you very much! It's great. Really, with your ideas, I don't need actual stat-ups. Anyone else? @ above: Well, I don't like the fall of Auseriel. No one has yet said Maura is 100% dead. And if she had a child, she'd be even more careful to show up somewhere. |
| #13gomeztooSep 05, 2009 5:29:35 |
Well, neither are very stable. And we don't reallyneed a child that is overloaded with power from birth, imo. Gomez |
| #14ZireaelSep 06, 2009 4:47:57 | Well, I did a kid of Jarlaxle and Triel that has a bit of experience under his belt (more than those in this thread) and is still a CR 11 character. My friend loved him. Said it was great to see someone so ordinary result from a couple of powerful drow. So the child of Simbul and El would not be "overloaded with power" too much. CR 11-12 at most. |
| #15LordManshoonSep 06, 2009 10:29:33 |
Does this child have three arms and seven toes? |
| #16ZireaelSep 06, 2009 10:32:40 | No. Well, I hatched that idea before I knew Jarlaxle was her brother. And based on the fact she had no known lovers... House Patrons... whatever, I thought the Bregan D'aerthe leader would look nice there. |
| #17ZireaelSep 07, 2009 10:09:15 | Hate the edit function. Does not seem to work. (end of rant) So bear with me. I've got two more couples. Aravae + Josidiah Halisstra + Ryld Any ideas? |
| #18ZireaelSep 10, 2009 4:41:02 | Hello? Many people read it and no one has anything to say? It doesn't have to be 100% sure or serious. Just participate in this mindstorm! |
| #19ZireaelSep 13, 2009 3:36:48 | Hey? Any new ideas? Please... |
| #20ZireaelSep 22, 2009 10:53:18 | Please? Any help? It would be appreciated. |
| #21ZireaelOct 02, 2009 3:07:35 | Hey people, I really need your input... |
| #22ZireaelOct 11, 2009 13:11:02 | A few new couples: BG Aerie + a Bhaal spawn (little Quayle) |
| #23ZireaelOct 18, 2009 4:16:53 | Eh? Really, come on, I could use some help. Please? |
| #24The_SilverswordOct 18, 2009 12:40:59 | Well i dont think theres anything official on the couples you brought up, so just make it up. You could do it randomaly. 1d2 1=male offspring, 2=female; 1d4 1=they favor the mother, 2=they favor the father, 3= theyre a good mix, 4=theyve rebeled against their parent and followed their own path roll randomly for class. maybe something like that? |
| #25ZireaelOct 19, 2009 9:42:43 | Good idea. Thanks. Really. I'll ask a few friends of mine and maybe I'll use it. Cool piece of advice, BTW. |
| #26The_SilverswordOct 19, 2009 15:18:25 | I try to help out when i can. I admit ive fallen behind on my Realms reading. Im not real familiar with some of the couples you brought up. If you had Alias and Dragonbait I would be totally all over that one. Not sure if they would even be able to reproduce, or what a half Saurial/Human would look like, but still in the Realms anything is possible. |
| #27LordManshoonOct 19, 2009 16:11:10 | I'm afraid that I'm not too familiar with the BG figures, even though I have Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal on my shelf. However, I'll try to come up with something a) based on what little I've gleamed about them and b) when I have the spare time to really mull it over. |
| #28ZireaelOct 20, 2009 10:44:23 |
Wow. Great idea. Write something about them, I'll read it immediately! I can't come up with all the couples, you know. And for your knowledge, I know there's nothing canon, so I need your own ideas. That was for your earlier post. |
| #29sfdragonOct 20, 2009 13:58:24 | well alias ws an augumented human, so.... |
| #30The_SilverswordOct 20, 2009 17:17:46 |
Damn, you called my bluff! So now i guess I'll have to put my money where my mouth is and actually do a write up. Hmmm well lets see, i could definatly see Dragonbait and Alias "hookin up" and retiring to the lost Dale, and raising a family. OK I'll work on this some and get back to you. |
| #31ZireaelOct 23, 2009 10:36:44 |
Short write-up only, as I mentioned in first post. AL race gender class level. Nothing more is needed. BTW, one more couple (I just read Sacrifice of the Widow): Q'arlynd Melarn + Prellyn Teh'Kinrellz |
| #32The_SilverswordOct 23, 2009 17:06:34 | ok Im still thinkin on it. Thinkin I actually need to do a write up of a Saurial Race in 4e terms. They always seem to be left to the curb. |
| #33ZireaelOct 30, 2009 12:19:13 | Another three couples: Ellesime + Joneleth Irenicus Bodhi + a Suldanesselar elf a drow cleric + Krashos Morueme |
| #34ZireaelNov 06, 2009 11:07:19 | Another one: Mez'Barris Armgo + Gromph Baenre (and yes, this is official!) |
| #35ZireaelDec 02, 2009 10:49:00 | My friend's idea: Minsc + Dynaheir = LG male human half-vampire Bbn1/warmage10. EDIT: lady Maralda of Auckney + ? = CG female human Bbn6/Ftr 2 (Colson) Galia + Cernd = NE male human Drd7/blighter 5 (Ashdale) Pharaun + Aliisza = LG male half-drow half-fiend Pal 12 of Torm (Kael) Tanalasta + Rowan = LG male human Ary 2/Ftr 6 (Azoun V) Viconia DeVir + a half-drow = NE female drow Rog5/Asn2/Clr4 Shar Tamoko + Sarevok = LE male human Ftr4/ninja 9 Aravae Irithyl + Josidiah Starym = NG male sun elf Ary1/Wiz 12/Ftr2 Laeral + Khelben = NG male human Ary1/Wiz 14 (Krehlan) Ashemmi + Semmemon = LN male half-moon elf Sor3/Wiz10 (Ashemmon) Brielbara + Coran = CG female half-wood elf Sor4/Trp 6 of Erevan Illesere/Rog2 (Namarra) Keya Nihmedu + Dexon = NG male half-moon elf Bbn1/Ftr10 Liriel Baenre + Fyodor = NG female half-drow warmage 8/Hth3 |
| #36ZireaelDec 31, 2009 3:04:45 | Two more couples: Valen Shadowbreath + Nathyrra (NWN HoTU) Gannayev + Safiya (NWN2 MotB) |
| #37ZireaelJan 29, 2010 8:07:58 | Still nothing? I'm still hoping someone has ideas... More couples: Laeral + Khelben (Krehlan Arunsun and his sister) Ashemmi + Sememmon (Ashemmon of Rhymanthiin) a surface elf woman + Valas DeVir a slave human + Zaknafein Do'Urden |
| #38ZireaelMar 29, 2010 4:19:11 | an unknown woman + Erevis Cale (just learned Cale had a son!) The thread will be updated with short write-ups for people already done when I have a bit of time. And I'm still hoping for some input. The ideas on Lamruil and Maura's child were great, as were on some others. |
| #39ZireaelMar 30, 2010 13:25:58 | The list of the characters done (3 posts above) has been updated! I'm waiting for feedback! |
| #40ZireaelApr 01, 2010 7:15:23 | Alea Dahast + Baerauble |
| #41ZireaelJun 07, 2010 13:12:58 | BUMP! Any ideas? |
| #42ZireaelJun 10, 2010 4:01:26 | Methrammar Aerasume + Gaerradh |
| #43ZireaelJul 12, 2010 9:38:16 | Hey folks, I need your input. It does not have to make much sense nor has it to be entirely canon. Feel free to theoretize! |
| #44ZireaelNov 28, 2010 5:57:53 | ![]() Any new ideas? BTW is it me or is this forum slowly dying? I haven't been around for months and nearly nothing is new... |
| #45The_SilverswordNov 28, 2010 17:47:48 | Well its definitely gotten slower, but Im not ready to throw the towel in just yet, theres still some good conversations gooin on from time to time. I think part of the problem is that there hasnt really been anything new to talk about. They havnt really been doin anymore DDI articles on the Realms, like they did before with the Backdrops and what not, those were great! and the maps were beautiful, Id love to see some more Backdrops for the Realms, you hear me WotC, you HEAR ME!!!!? |
| #46Nai_CalusNov 29, 2010 0:29:04 | Given the absolute dearth of *any* kind of content in the magazines, and *especially* Dragon, it seems like they don't want to produce material for *anything*. Unless it's essentials. Then they'll throw an article or two out. |
| #47Matt_JamesDec 06, 2010 19:54:00 | They just put out another Realms article, Nai :p www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/d... |
| #48gomeztooDec 07, 2010 2:36:21 | Any new ideas? Ashemmi and Sememmon have a daughter (from LFR: SPEC1-1 Black Cloaks and Bitter Rivalries / ELTU3-1 Good Intentions). Her name is Nualla A'Ashemmi, and she is currently the leader of the Dusk Talons (the thieves guild) in Iriaebor. She has a particular hatred for the Zhentarim (having even been captured and enslaved by them for a time), and she directs her Talons to fight the Zhents whenever possible. Nualla is a half-elf with long dark hair. She is a worshipper (but likely not a priestess) of Selune, and prominently wears a necklace with Selune's symbol. Note that the fate of Ashemmi and Sememmon is as yet unrevealed. Gomez |
| #49gomeztooDec 07, 2010 2:43:30 | By the way I have been submitting Dragon and Dungeon articles for the Realms for some time, but it is hard to find something that they like. Just keep on trying, I guess... Gomez |
| #50ZireaelDec 07, 2010 7:53:45 | Any new ideas? Wow, thanks, Gomez! I'll be sure to use her. I've recently statted out two kids of Alea Dahast and Baerauble Etharr, they are: Baergast Etharr LN half-sun elf male Wiz16 & Iliphar Dahast LG half-sun elf male Wiz18. |
