Sean's background:
You were born in the Free City of Greyhawk. While living there, you embraced the faith of Pelor, God of the Sun. As an acolyte of the church, it was suggested to you that the small mining town of Diamond Lake might need your help. Nothing could be more true!
Diamond Lake is a hellhole of a place: full of people of broken dreams and the corrupt managers that run it. You have found a sanctuary of sorts with the folk of the local garrison of the City Watch. Although they mostly worship Heironeous, God of Chivalry and Honour, they have treated you well.
While there, you met Bradford's character, a young woman from Diamond Lake training to be a soldier. Near penniless and with poor prospects, she hatched a plan to get out of Diamond Lake: to search for secret tunnels in a nearby cairn that might contain treasure! (This happened to also be a plan hatched by a trio of adventurers from the Free City of Greyhawk, but they were going to a different cairn).
Being sure that the glory of exploring the cairn would enhance your own prospects, you agreed to help the young woman on your quest. So, a few days later, you found yourself amongst a motly crew of adventures - none more motly than Martin's Barbarian!
Holly d'Vine's (Bradford) Background:
Holly comes from a line of noble knights in the service of Heironeous. It can be said that they have been specially blessed by Heironeous, and that for many years the family lived in the Shield Lands, the home of the Knights of the Holy Shielding, and there opposed the work of Iuz the Evil, that evil demigod who, if left unchecked, would cause destruction and chaos across the Flanaess.
When Iuz vanished some centuries ago, it was thought that the Knights would have completed their task and scourged the evil orcs from the Oerth. It was not to be. A new group arose, the Heirophants of the Horned Society, and they schemed and plotted and caused more hardships for the knights.
It was one of those schemes that brought the d'Vine family low. What occurred is not fully known - Holly's father and grandfather perished getting Holly's mother to the relative safety of Diamond Lake - but, at the end of it, Holly, her brother and her mother were paupers living in the foul mining town where our adventures have begun.
Holly remembers the sword of her grandfather, a blessed weapon sacred to Heironeous, which is now lost in her family's ruin. Although her brother has abandoned the path of the knights, Holly has sworn to hold true.
