Men are pathetic. – Shar-Teel

Xianer recognises that Shar-Teel is an excellent fighter and respects her for that. However, Xianer is unable to understand Shar-Teel’s hatred for men.

Background

When asked about her past, SHAR-TEEL has very little to say. From the little she speaks of it, it can be gleaned that she is an orphan. She also seems to harbor an intense dislike for Flaming Fist mercenaries, as well as an obvious disrespect for men in general. She seems to have something to prove, and likely her childhood was not of storybook quality.

Thy decency is refreshing when so many we meet are….. lacking – Dynaheir

Xianer respects Dynaheir as a powerful mage though she is not certain about Dynaheir’s moral rigidity.

Background

When asked about her past, DYNAHEIR has very little to say. She is apparently from the far-eastern nation of Rashemen, and has come to the west with a bodyguard known as Minsc.

Minsc is on his dajemma, a rite of passage, and it appears that she may be involved in something similar. Of this, she will only state that great things are foretold for the Sword Coast.

She seems very sure of herself, is possessed with an old-world sensibility, and is very demanding of her companions. She has expressed concerns about the sanity of her bodyguard, though she has an obvious respect for him and will not go far from his side.

Tempus! Give us victory! – Branwen

Xianer has a crush on Branwen. She likes her though she isn’t sure her feelings are reciprocrated.

Background

When asked about her past, BRANWEN reveals that she left her home of Seawolf in the Norheim Islesat an early age. She was apparently reviled by her own people for wanting to become a priest, a station reserved exclusively for the men of the village. She harbors no resentment, realizing that her faith must face such tests or be worthless.
She traveled the coast, offering her services to local militias, and eventually came into the employ of an adventuring troup in the Nashkel area. Branwen had no idea that the group was participating in banditry, however, and on their first raid, she balked at attacking a caravan of unarmed merchants. She rebelled, and a mage named Tranzig turned her to stone in the ensuing fight.

Despite the unfavorable outcome, Branwen feels that Tempus views her actions approvingly. To attack those that are unarmed is the basest of villainy.

I am really, really, really, really, really sorry about what just happened.

Despite the rough start, Xianer is quite fond of Neera as she has proven to be a good spellcaster, despite her unpredictability.

Background

When asked about her past, NEERA says she has been on the run from Red Wizards for months and months. She seems quick-thinking and a little glib, but you have heard that wild mages are among the most powerful spellcasters… as long as they don’t have an accident.

Despite her cheerful and capricious demeanor, you sense her past haunts her. As much as she loves unleashing the powers of her wild magic, she also seems to fear the harm it can cause.

Click on someone your own size! – Khalid

Xianer defintely prefers Khalid as he is more laid back. However, she realises that Khalid might not be the bravest figher around and is therefore not too impressed with him.

Background

When asked about his past, Khalid nervously reveals that he was born and raised in the nation of Calimshan. He does not say much of his parents, but you get the feeling that his merchant father thought little of him, devoting much more attention to Khalid’s half brothers. Khalid thus threw himself into the martial pursuits, studying under members of the city militia. He doesn’t go into detail on how he met Jaheira , but his adoration of her is obvious. When asked about how he knew Gorion, he will only say that they had long been friends, and that many shared acquaintances will mourn his loss with harpsong.

Yes, oh omnipresent authority figure? – Jaheira

Jaheira is bossy. Xianer doesn’t really like her much though she realises that Jaheira is someone she can trust, being Gorion’s friend.

Background

When asked about her past, JAHEIRA glares as she speaks. She says that she was born in the Tethyr region to a loyalist of the King Alemander regime, unfortunately during the Tethyrian civil war. Her family was among the nobles targeted by the angry mobs of peasants, and she was only spared because a servant girl took her from their castle before it fell. They fled into the forest of Tethyr and stumbled across an enclave of druids willing to take the child.
Jaheira grew up a very headstrong girl, believing that the only way to protect nature was to have an active role in the world. She seems to have little in common with Khalid, but even though her manner is often confrontational, she apparently cares deeply for him. Her admiration of Gorion is obvious, and she plainly states that whomever was responsible for his death will suffer an equal fate.

 

 

Heya! It’s me, Imoen. – Imoen

Imoen is Xianer’s best friend in Candlekeep and they share a very close bond. They will love and support each other regardless of what happens.

Background

When asked about her past, IMOEN slaps your shoulder playfully. She says that you of all people should know, seeing as how you grew up together.

Indeed, some of your fondest memories are of meeting this sprightly young lass. She apparently came to Candlekeep much as you did, though ten years later in life, and she spent much more time with the gruff Winthrop than Gorion. “Puffguts,” she would call him, much to the old innkeep’s dismay.

She seems the eternal child, and is quite content to play the part of little sister, though you are both of comparable ages. You can tell by her hearty smile that she will always be willing to travel with you, no matter what path you take.
