Shaelrick - Player Introduction

Back in the days when we played with the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rule set, I had a drow character who used her wealth to build a city named Shaelrick. The name was a combination of three aliases my disguised drow had used while adventuring with the party. 

Her primary disguise was a female elf wizard-thief named Shandral. Her second disguise was Rick, a human ranger. Her true drow name was Elsodia D’Hunnet. By blending these names, I came up with Shaelrick. 

 For our Pathfinder2E campaign, I decided Shaelrick would serve as the primary base of operations for the orphan characters. Here is the introduction to the campaign. 

  Player Introduction Welcome to the bustling city-state of Shaelrick, where shadows dance with the light of political intrigue, and secrets linger in every corner. As you embark on this journey, your characters will take on the roles of children who have faced tragedy and now seek refuge and new beginnings in the heart of the city. 

 Synopsis: Your characters were once residents of the coastal village of Eldrithorn, where your families lived peaceful lives. However, tragedy struck when the village was attacked by undead-like monsters, resulting in the loss of your parents. In the aftermath of this devastating event, you were brought to Shaelrick by Brother Aldric Shieldheart, a compassionate figure who took you under his wing.  

Although you were spared from the horrors of the attack, the memories of that fateful day linger in your minds. Now, as you settle into life in Shaelrick, you find yourselves assigned to different schools based on your interests and talents. Despite the challenges you face, you are determined to build new lives for yourselves in this city of opportunity and intrigue. 

As you navigate the bustling streets of Shaelrick, you will forge bonds with your fellow orphans, uncover secrets about your pasts, and embark on quests that will shape your destinies. Together with Brother Aldric, who serves as both a mentor and a father figure, you will confront the shadows of your past and embrace the promise of a brighter future. 

 Prepare yourselves, brave adventurers, for the City of Shadows awaits your arrival. May your courage be your guide as you embark on this epic journey. You can find more details about Shaelrick here:
