Ideals: • Eilistraee chose me to protect and promote magic among her people • Magic when used for good is wondrous. • Violence should only be used as a last resort, once you've committed to it you need to be prepared to see it through and face the consequences. • Those who's deeds harm the weave must be brought to swift justice. Bonds: • Melila - The Harper agent I was led to through visions, who traveled with me from Wealdath to Waterdeep, my sponsor into the Harpers and the one who taught me about the world outside of the forest. A lythari elf. Mentor figure and occasional lover. • Thalai Ogolakanu - A Goliath paladin who helped me get my bearings in Waterdeep. Friend, brother-like Flaws: • Often forgets to use people's names, referring to them by their deeds and actions instead. • Slightly xenophobic, not hostile but wary.

It's still magic even if you know how it's done. ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

Background Traits

• Skill Proficiencies: Insight and Perception
• Languages: Chondathan
• Tool: Woodworker's Tools
• All Eyes on You:
  • Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
  • You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people.

• Harper Pin Wrought by certain finesmiths and enchanted by Harper magicians, the Harper pin provides a number of benefits to the attuned wearer based on their standing within the Harpers as a faction.

Magic Items

• Sentinel Shield Armor (shield), uncommon
  • While holding this shield, you have advantage on initiative rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks.
  • Guardian The item whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn't incapacitated. (Common Magic Item effect)
• Harper Pin Wondrous Item, rare (attunement)
  • Wrought by certain finesmiths and enchanted by Harper magicians, the Harper pin provides a number of benefits to the attuned wearer based on their standing within the Harpers as a faction. Pins manifest power based on their attunement to Harper bearers. An un-attuned pin is referred to as being dormant.
  • Basic Abilities: No ranking. Harper pins, even those which are dormant, are themselves immune to divination magics. They never register as magical to spells or spell-like abilities.
  • Rank 1+ The Harper attuned to the pin may, as a bonus action and mere act of will requiring neither speech nor gesture, command the pin to change its shape into another piece of jewelry. It never appears to be worth more than 5gp, although this value can be for a piece that is obviously costume jewelry. If the wearer is in any way targeted by a dispel magic, even if the pin is not the target of that spell, it automatically reverts to its normal harp-and-moon shape.
  • Rank 3+ In addition to the above abilities, the pin functions as a ring of mind shielding, without the soul-retention property of that ring.
