Wildlanders: Thrym the Wanderer

He wandered down from his homeland, the glacial plateau of the Sawtooth Mountains, on a mission to investigate the causes of the spreading of the great Wasteland. Climbing down the mountains, he came into the Halfling Commonwealth of Stoneborough, where he first encountered the sorceress Dreyka Feyblud-Candlewick. The deeds wrought by Thrym and the Wildlanders. Thereafter the deeds of Thrym and the Wildlanders became renowned in song, legend, and lore.

On a fateful evening at the fabled Maltman Ave. residence, Thrym was generated. Those of us who were there celebrated each time the dice were cast and huge numbers were revealed. If the character generation were any indication, it was obvious that Thrym was destined for greatness.

Later, the concept emerged for Thrym to be a Forsaker. The 3E splatbook prestige class eschews all magic. Given the magic-heavy campaign setting, and the proliferation of magic treasure in the campaign, the choice was a bold one. Indeed, the anti-magic preference of Thrym became a driving force in the overarching story.

Far from the caricature of a half-orc barbarians, the nuances of Thrym's personality evolved over time. His passions and appetites eventually gave way to calculation, diplomacy, and temperance.

Tales of Thrym remain yet to be written, but those deeds already done will surely be told in this blog.
