Valxik

Backstory
Found as a baby at a temple of Avandra with nothing but a basket and blood red medallion with a strange symbol engraved on it, raised by the priests there. They tried to teach me to be a priest or cleric like most in the temple they couldn't quell a natural violence I displayed and eventually channeled that into becoming a Paladin. Hidden from most people at the temple except for the High Priest, I began speaking languages they did not recognize (Abyssal and Infernal) along with the common I was taught. After sometime the High Priest sent me on a pilgrimage to learn more about myself and where I come from. The only clue being the medallion and a rumor of a temple with the same symbol on a remote island.

Valxik was raised in the Shrine of Change, just outside of Nesroth. Nesroth is the capital city of Kelnys, and the location of the kings castle. Unfortunately there are only 2 easy ways out of Kelnys, by sea or along the road that follows the northern coast before crossing into Sadian, the neighboring nation. Sadian and Kelnys have a long and bloody history with each other and travel along that border, while faster, is incredibly dangerous so the only real option is sailing the long way around the entire Ossivion Isles in search of anything about the medallion Valxik was found with.

Backstory Tie In
Red medallion is an old symbol of Tiamat used by a cult to her on Duskmere Isle. While interacting with the pirates in Wakesea Landing they party comes across a smuggler that also has one of those medallions. (possibly also tied to Riley Jo’s backstory in that the smugglers are the same group she failed against.)
 * Valxik’s parents were part of that cult, but realize that it wouldn’t be safe for Val so they hid his egg from the other cultists until they could get him to the safety of the temple
 * cult was trying to get all the pieces of the mask of the dragon queen
 * Vampire shit is gonna have to go down
