After Coranzan's failed surface raid in 1332 DR, the Paladin of Lathander, Lórindol, escorted the twins to the Waterdeep to verify their claim of a connection to Eilistraeens. From there, they rejoined their parents at the Promenade of the Dark Maiden, having little else to turn to. Coranzan and Z'ress ( @susann-noir ) spent time reconsidering his path, speaking with the Eilistraeens there, and eventually joining them.

Coranzan had met a few role models that counseled him and inspired him to join the Clergy. Chiefly, a human bard layworshipper that married into Eilistraeenism, Mog Ruith. And a kind and patient priestess, Nixana Khalazza ( @pavusprince ), who guided him and tempered his angry and bitter heart.

However, for those that knew Coranzan in his previous life, he carries a reputation as a former Keptolite propagandist in commoner circles. Although many of Eilistraee's priestesses were ex-Lolthite Priestesses themselves, Coranzan did not find many that trusted him as Keptolites were known for their silver tongues and manipulation.

Combined with the fact that Eilistraeens refused to accept male clergy until 1373 DR and further restricted men to join without having Changedanced until Eilistraee's return in 1489. Coranzan's progress among the EIlistraeen's was slow, partly due to a mistrust of men seeking positions in Eilistraee's Church and partly due to the fact that Coranzan was not afraid to trade barbs with the Priestesses of Eilistraee. They deemed him arrogant and power-hungry - an assessment not entirely without merit.

He was accepted as a novice in 1377 DR, and trains diligently with whoever will accept him, including his parents, his mentors, and volunteers for whatever opportunities he's allowed. Although Coranzan is indeed ambitious and seeks position, he also strongly believes in Eilistraee's message and feels anger for those who were misled by Lolth (and Keptolo) as he was.

Coranzan is finally accepted as a Cleric of Eilistraee after Eilistraee announces her return and reveals herself as a vision dancing in the moonlight along the walls of Waterdeep in 1489 DR. Coranzan was near drowned in hopelessness when this occured and having witnessed it personally invigorated him.

Celeste's backpack tends to be a mess. She carries a pouch with around 100 emergency gold with her, as well as a collection of things she tends to forget

a copy of Architecture of the Weave; a book she discussed in depth with Gale

a small pouch of spices

a forgotten piece of bread (not moldy but thoroughly dried)

the gold ring she nicked from Mattis in the Emerald Grove

Scratch's ball

A clean shirt and a piece of soap (suggestion of Gale, as Celeste tends to be covered in blood and gore)

a bottom full of forgotten left overs: dried fruits, a short piece of robe, some fur, leaf remnants, a tiny stick Scratch gave her, a single sandal (also from Scratch), a wooden deer Halsin whittled, a dagger Wyll told her to keep save and they both forgot about it
