Many Worlds Tavern

Aloria, the Dragonborn Sorcerer

Aloria didn’t mean to destroy her village.

She was only 14 years old when it happened. A malicious gang of tamers—people of Flowcliff who live by subjugating beasts—rode in, demanding everything in the people’s possession. The small dragonborn village had no choice but to bow reluctantly, fearing for their lives. Aloria was furious at the injustice, and when she let her emotions burst from her, something in her changed. So too did the earth.

The ground erupted with a thunderous crack. A fissure appeared beneath the tamers. Some were swallowed by the pit. Others were caught by the magma that flung forth. No tamer escaped, no building still stood, and yet no villager was harmed. Regardless, the village turned their fear on Aloria, forcing her to leave her home.

She wandered for some time, slowly attempting to understand her newly discovered magical abilities. Eventually, she began living more permanently in the city of Meridia, where she could keep to herself, blend into a crowd, and work for a normal life, attempting to forget the time her people deemed her wicked.

The tavern she worked was a small and slow one—one where a single silver coin could net a dozen ales. There, an odd two men were regulars, using the space to discuss upcoming jobs. Over time, Aloria realized none of their discussions actually led anywhere, restating the job over and over again, often glossing over details of their jobs that were notably dangerous. She spoke up.

Thus was how the woman known now as Aloria the Great fell in with her party, but of course, that was before they met Nisk the Knowing.
