![[Noah.png]] # Noah Cydriem _Human Planar Warrior | [[Righteous Order of the White Flame]] | [[Feywild]]_ ## Summary Planar warrior and member of the [[Righteous Order of the White Flame]], dispatched to the [[Feywild]] to investigate the use of apocalyptic elemental weapons. Served a [[Ki-Rin]] patron named [[Star Thought]]. Upon meeting the party, Noah immediately recognized [[Oakenton|Goodberry]] and [[Marie]], revealing their true identities as former members of the Righteous Order under the Sun King. Noah himself had been killed during the doomed expedition to the Great Ziggurat of Oth-Magurloth in the [[Abyss]] and resurrected through [[Ren]]'s bargain with [[Baba Yaga]], losing precious memories as the cost. Rode [[Star Thought]] into the Battle of [[Silverbrook]] at a critical moment, arriving with [[Righteous Order of the White Flame|Righteous Order]] reinforcements to turn the tide. Killed during the Battle of [[Waterdeep]] defending the multiverse from [[Graz'zt]]'s demonic invasion. %% ## At a Glance _Historical NPC from War of the Fey / Oblivion War. Fill in if he becomes relevant again._ ## Personality Decisive, capable, occasionally impatient, and blessed with a flair for dramatic entrances. Noah's solution to most problems was to apply magic in the most spectacular way possible — disguising himself as an ancient white dragon to bluff past frost giants, transforming into a celestial Planetar and bursting through an orphanage kitchen window, riding a [[Ki-Rin]] into battle at the last possible moment. His impatience sometimes created friction — he once surrendered a werewolf captive to the [[Maiden of the Moon]] after getting an inconclusive answer from his handler [[Horace Warfield]], with fatal consequences for the werewolf. But when it counted, Noah showed up. Every time. Also got charmed by [[Verenestra]] and spent time sitting on a bench outside her room as her guard, debating the nature of love with [[Horace Warfield]]. Even the best planar warriors have off days. ## Quote _"Stand aside. I have a plan."_ ## Background **The Righteous Order:** Member of the [[Righteous Order of the White Flame]] under the Sun King's leadership. Served alongside [[Oakenton]], [[Ren]], and [[Marie]] in a team dedicated to combating the [[Elder Elemental Eye]]. The Sun King's alliance with [[Owynn Firesong]] led the team to the Great Ziggurat of Oth-Magurloth in the [[Abyss]] — a mission [[Ren]] refused to join, believing it suicide. She was right. Noah was destroyed at the bottom of the [[Blood Rift]]. **Baba Yaga's Price:** [[Ren]] bargained with [[Baba Yaga]] to resurrect her fallen companions. Noah was brought back, but like [[Oakenton]], lost the memory of what he loved most. He continued serving the [[Righteous Order of the White Flame|Righteous Order]], eventually being dispatched to the [[Feywild]] on a new mission. **Restored Memories:** When [[Elizar Dryflagon]] spoke [[Tharizdun]]'s true name aloud, the psychic shockwave shattered mortal minds — but Noah had transformed himself into a Planetar, and the celestial form protected him. He survived a vision of the [[Tharizdun|Chained God]] — immense, mad, three chains already broken — and the experience partially restored his lost memories. He remembered the expedition, his death, and [[Ren]]'s sacrifice. **Feywild Operations:** Noah was a prolific problem-solver throughout the War of the Fey. He used his ferret familiar to spy on [[Snow]], [[Dusk]]'s lich father, enabling the party's ambush. He disguised himself as the ancient white dragon Cadmus to bluff past zombie frost giants. He transformed into a Planetar and burst through an orphanage window in [[Sigil]] to find [[Ren]]. He also relayed intelligence from [[Horace Warfield]] and attempted — with mixed success — to prevent [[Dusk]]'s lich transformation on behalf of the [[Righteous Order of the White Flame|Righteous Order]]. **The Ride of the White Flame:** During the desperate battle at [[Silverbrook]], when [[Mephistopheles]] and the [[Rhyxali|Shadow Queen]] overwhelmed the heroes and the [[Maiden of the Moon]] fell to [[Hutijin]], Noah arrived riding [[Star Thought]], his [[Ki-Rin]] patron, at the head of [[Righteous Order of the White Flame|Righteous Order]] reinforcements. The cavalry, in the most literal sense. **Death:** Noah fell during the Battle of [[Waterdeep]], fighting alongside the [[Righteous Order of the White Flame]] against [[Graz'zt]]'s invading [[Demon Lords]]. He was among the heavy casualties listed in the aftermath — alongside [[Horace Warfield]], [[Goodberry]], [[Mirt]], [[Durnan]], [[Meloon Wardragon]], and [[Hlam]]. %%
