F'Van

"All locked up, no place to go" - F'van's lease on life following her imprisonment.

At a Glance
A Shadar-Kai native to the city of Tyr, F'Van was the greatest traitor the city had ever known. By plotting with the neighboring Orc warbands, F'Van planned to open the five four gates into the city and allow the Orcs entry. Her scheme was foiled, though, by a mysterious group of adventurers.

History
Unlike most Shadar-Kai, F'Van was born without a natural inclination to shadow magics. Whereas her friends and neighbors could meld with the darkness and pull off elaborate tasks, F'Van was neutered in her magical abilities.

An active woman in the community, F'Van's demeanour would change (almost overnight) when she began staying inside her home and refused to admit visitors. Within a few years she was a strange recluse within Tyr and on the rare occasion she would exit her home she would travel beyond the city's gates to what would undoubtably be certain death at the surrounding Orc warbands. Stranger still, she would return each time unharmed after her "leisurely stroll".

These walks around the city walls one day drew the attention of a mysterious group of adventurers who began to follow F'Van. Keeping their distance as she wandered into the sand dunes, the adventurers discovered F'Van consorting with the chieftans of the six Orc warbands. Attempting to unite them, with her as their chieftan, the adventurers raced back to rally Tyr's defenses.

Returning to the city, F'van prepared small clockwork devices to open the locks to the city. As the Orcs began to charge the city, the band of adventurers stepped in and defeated F'Van before she could spring her trap. As the Orcs piled against the city walls (in turn receiving a hailstorm of arrows from the defending Shadar-Kai) F'Van was taken prisoner and the Orcs retreated.

Interred beneath the city, she remained jovial, having given the Orc warbands a unified purpose and "Chieftan" to rescue from the "Nasty Shadar-Kai". As she had not enacted her plot, F'Van was sentenced to 200-years of imprisonment beneath Tyr.
