Rhonwen’s family bought into the teachings of a cult of Lliira and moved into a Lliiran commune when he was a kid. His parents were scholars, and after some time living in this culture, they began to do research into other gods, not to go astray from the cult’s teachings, but in hope to give the cult beliefs more weight. Unfortunately the cult leaders didn’t see it that way, and dragged them off to be executed for heresy, locking Rhonwen inside the family home. In there, he managed to release the old god Kezef, and asked him to save his parents. Kezef rampaged through the commune, killing those who couldn’t escape fast enough. Kezef said it had been too late to save Rhonwen’s parents, and Rhonwen took his word for it, seeing his parents’ bodies and leaving. If he had looked closer, though, he would have seen that they hadn’t been executed, but killed in the same manner as the other cultists by Kezef himself. The high priestess was one of the ones who got away, and Rhonwen swore revenge. He works as some bonus magical muscle for adventuring groups now, doing the bidding of his patron on the side when the old god bothers to remember him.

She’s the daughter of the chieftain of the goblin clan that laid claim to the portion of the Gammelig mountains that Erik found himself in following his leaving home. She was tired of the cyclical raiding life the mountain goblins led, so when a magical human showed up he became her source of entertainment.

Prior to that, Erik hails from the capital of Vaill, Iomal. Or to be more forthright, Erik is the son of Duke and Duchess Graven of Vail. However, he is all but officially disowned by the family, and has no interest in returning to that life. As far as the people know, there is still an eldest son of the Duke, they simply do not speak of him anymore.
