# [[The Roseguard]] The Roseguard are an adventuring party from [[Absalom]] who defeated an evil sorceress in [[The Gauntlight]] and then stopped adventuring to found the city of [[Otari]]. ## The True Story According to a beggar in [[Otari]], the true story of the Roseguard is much darker than the official version. Right after they defeated [[Belcorra]], they all went insane. They didn't die immediately - they died slowly. Everyone in Otari is covering this up, wanting people to think they were big heroes who saved the town. But they don't tell what happened afterwards. They just hid them all away and told stories. Their descendants know the real truth. ## Faction Members ### [[Vol Rajani]] - The Rose Knight - The first Roseguard - Exiled from the country of Nidal - Most known for her blade, the *Rosa Argentis* - Known as the Rose Knight, named after her thorny blade and rose-tinted armor - It's because of her that they called themselves the Roseguard ### [[Zarmavdian]] - The second Roseguard - Origin unknown - Claimed to be from one of the dwarven sky citadels in the north, maybe even from [[Dongoon]], right next to [[Alkenstar]] - Zarmavdian isn't a dwarven name - must be a title - Has no relatives - Said to have left his spellbook in Otari ### [[Esefna Menhemes]] - The Huntress - The third Roseguard, known as The Huntress - The youngest of the Roseguard - just a teenager when they came together - Great skill with the bow - Had the favor of [[Erastil]], the wilderness god - Eventually became the leader of the Roseguard ### [[Otari Ilvashti]] - The Sea Hawk - The last Roseguard - The town of [[Otari]] is named after him - Died in the attack against [[Belcorra]] - Grew up as an orphan in [[Absalom]] and became a pirate - Was caught once, but spared by a cleric of [[Cayden Cailean]], which turned his life around - Became devoted to justice - Known as The Sea Hawk because he would swoop down and free slaves from slaving vessels - [[The Osprey Club]] was named after him - Was the moral compass of the Roseguard ## Legacy - The town of Otari is named after Otari Ilvashti - [[The Osprey Club]] was named after Otari Ilvashti's nickname "The Sea Hawk" - The current mayor [[Mayor Oseph Menhemes]] is a descendant of Esefna Menhemes - [[Carman Rajani]] is a descendant of Vol Rajani and has been in conflict with the mayor over Vol Rajani's sword ## Session 077 - The Clone's Revelation - **MAJOR REVELATION**: A clone of [[Zarmavdian]] revealed that [[Otari Ilvashti]] and [[Esefna Menhemes]] are "neither alive nor dead" - The Roseguard members suffered a similar fate to Zarmavdian after their battle with [[Belcorra]] - The clone thought Esefna and Otari would end up together - The clone was the one who gave Esefna the locket - The clone had plans to protect his friends from death, but many plans failed - [[Belcorra]] was installing [[The Fulcrum Lenses]] - four magical lenses meant to focus something unknown when The Roseguard attacked ## Faction members ```dataview table description as "Description" from "ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers" WHERE contains(type,"NPC") and contains(faction,"Roseguard") SORT file.name ASC ```
