![[Barlen New.png]] # Barlen Brawnmight _Hill Dwarf Cleric/Life Domain (Level 9)/Parul Desari_ ## Quick Stats **AC:** 18 | **HP:** 100 | **Speed:** 25 ft **Initiative:** -1 | **Passive Perception:** 25 | **Spell Save DC:** 18 ## Character Summary A stalwart dwarven cleric haunted by betrayal but strengthened by unwavering faith. [[Barlen Brawnmight]] once served proudly in the [[Dragon's Bane]] mercenary company until its corruption by [[Valthrax Leerstrom]] and the [[Cult of the Dragon]] shattered everything she believed in. The painful discovery that her lover [[Magnus Blackheart]] had fallen to darkness—and his subsequent death—left deep scars that she carries with quiet dignity. Now she channels her divine gifts and tactical experience in service to the [[Harpers]], determined to prevent others from suffering the corruption that destroyed her former life. Her healing magic flows as freely as her fierce loyalty to her new companions, though she still struggles with the ghosts of choices made in darker times. %% ## Family, Friends, and Foes ### Tragic Past - [[Magnus Blackheart]] - Former lover from the [[Dragon's Bane]], killed by [[Kaela Voortham]] - [[Krogar Forgefist]] - Former comrade seeking redemption at [[Goldenfields]] - [[Drogan Steelheart]] - Founder of the [[Dragon's Bane]], murdered ### Current Allies - [[Moradin]] - Her divine patron, source of strength and guidance - The [[Harpers]] - Her new cause and path to redemption - Her fellow party members - The family she's found in the ashes of her old life ### Dark Enemies - [[Valthrax Leerstrom]] - The wizard who corrupted the [[Dragon's Bane]] - [[Malakar Darkblade]] - Usurper who helped destroy her company - The [[Cult of the Dragon]] - The organization that stole everything from her ### Unfinished Business - [[Morndinvuddrrin]] - The desecrated dwarven stronghold that calls to her divine duty - The corrupted remnants of the [[Dragon's Bane]] ## Magic Items - **Astral Mace** - Divine weapon enhanced by celestial power - **Amulet of the Stargazer** - Protective talisman - **Guardian Emblem** - Shield enhancement - **Sentinel Shield** - Enhanced defensive capabilities ## Adventure Hooks - The cleansing of [[Morndinvuddrrin]] and its trapped dwarven spirits - Confronting the remaining corrupted members of the [[Dragon's Bane]] - Her growing divine connection and potential for greater service to [[Moradin]] ## DM Notes - Struggles with guilt over her past association with the corrupted company - [[Moradin]]'s divine displeasure at the uncleansed [[Morndinvuddrrin]] weighs on her - Her military background makes her an excellent tactical advisor - The loss of [[Magnus Blackheart]] still affects her deeply - Strong moral compass that sometimes conflicts with pragmatic party decisions %%
