In its history, the swamp island of Urborg has been home to hundreds of dangerous assassin’s guilds, witch covens, and necromantic liches, each intent on controlling the whole of the island for themselves, and using its powerful natural magic to nefarious ends. Among these sources of darkness rose Lord Windgrace, a powerful panther catfolk, who brought order to the chaos of Urborg, establishing a group of knights known as the Windgrace Acolytes to help defend the realm, and prevent evil from rising again. Though Windgrace is gone, his knights survive, hanging on by a thread as they attempt to stem the tide of the Cabal’s evil.

Powerful Legacy. Aryel bears the title of Knight of Windgrace, which marks her as one of the true inheritors of Windgrace’s legacy. Though the Windgrace Acolytes have faded, their mission lives on in Free Urborg, a rebellion group of humans and catfolk who resist the Cabal’s influence. Aryel is an important leader for this group, serving most often as the spearhead of attacks on Cabal forces, and using her connection to Windgrace’s legacy to lead her allies to new strength. Though the people she leads trust her, Aryel is still young, and often fears whether their trust is misplaced, or if there might be others better suited to her position.

Tragic Origin. Aryel is a native of Urborg, born to an island filled with an evil which is constantly spreading, led by an all-powerful demon lord. As the only survivor in attack which wiped out her town and killed her family, Aryel fled into the deep jungle, seeking shelter in its thick growth. Here, Aryel found the remnants of the Windgrace Acolytes, and the Free Urborb resistance group. With no other choice, Aryel was raised among them, nurturing the hatred she held for the Cabal to bring her strength in the battle against them. As she grew older, it became clear that Aryel was marked as a true inheritor of Lord Windgrace, causing others to look to her for advice and leadership in times of tragedy and concern.
