Father to [[Alisanda Rayburton]]. He found peace in [[Chult]] around 172 DR after traveling there from the Heartlands, and regrets the "thoughtless condemnations" in his earlier writings. He is presumed still in [[Mezro]]'s pocket dimension with the hidden city. %% ## Now _placeholder_ ## Appearance A weathered human explorer who carries the dignity of one chosen by [[Ubtao]], and the bearing of someone who found true peace after a lifetime of wandering. ## Personality Humble about his past mistakes and protective of [[Mezro]] and its people. He speaks with a bara's authority but the wisdom of someone who has learned to see past cultural prejudice, and scoffs at the notion that the Heartlands are more "civilized" than [[Chult]]. ## Quote _"The fact that people still read those dreadful books I wrote is proof enough to me that Cormyr is no more civilized now than when I left."_ ## Connections **[[Alisanda Rayburton]]** — daughter, also chosen to join the *barae*. ## Background **A Family Among the Barae:** He formed a union with a [[Tabaxi]] woman, and their daughter [[Alisanda Rayburton]] was also chosen for the *barae*, a unique legacy among the immortal paladins. ## Stats **Base:** Champion (VGtM p.212), modified with bara abilities. - Command spells, regeneration, detect evil at will. - High-level healing and divine magic within [[Ubtao]]'s temple. %%
