The Worldwalkers are a group of plane-hopping adventurers, constantly on their guard against impossible perils from all sides. Many of these hazards they have unintentionally created, and they are as much working to undo their mistakes as stay one step ahead of the enemies that hound them.
The group originally had six players, but now has five. The lineup of the Worldwalkers is prone to flux from time to time.
Heroes of the Worldwalkers
Tristan Ebonsong
Elf/dragon (dragonborn) Avenging Paladin of Mystra (Scion of Arkhosia)
First Appearance: Ch 1
Player: Brian Kurtz
Tristan is irrepressibly confident and goes about his adventures in good humor. When his companions are threatened or his honor impugned, however, he flies into an unstoppable fury the likes of which few have ever seen. Despite frequent claims that he follows a dead goddess, he wields the awesome silver fire of Mystra, Goddess of Magic, in an endless battle against her foes: Cyric, Mask, and many others. His current quest involves finding and repairing an ancient artifact called the Gatekeeper Staff.
Brandis
Human Monk (multiclass Rogue)
First Appearance: Ch 1
Player: Zach Kenyon
Brandis is a weathered old man with a pronounced limp and a cane, who wears a perpetually serene expression. When pressed, however, his seemingly innocuous demeanor hides the potential for feats of amazing physical prowess and mental focus. He was once a thief until his gang betrayed him and left him for dead outside a monastery they had robbed. The githzerai monks took him in and trained him in the ways of their order, and he has since sought to redeem himself by returning those items they stole from the monks.
Vayne Blackblade
Shadar-kai Shielding Swordmage (Sigil Carver)
First Appearance: Ch 1
Player: Erik Scott de Bie
Vayne is a pragmatic shadar-kai swordmage with a disregard for traditional authority but a wide benevolent streak. Originally a warrior-servant in Gloomwrought, she abandoned her duty and spent many years as a mercenary and occasional pirate on the Astral Sea, and captains a ship called the Chromium. She uses her magic as well as her charms to her best advantage. Though most shadar-kai embrace fearsome emotional extremes to maintain themselves against the gloom of their existence, she follows the way of peaceful meditation and is an expert in calligraphy, part of her sigil carving magic. She is fiercely loyal to the Worldwalkers, particularly to Ysabelle for reasons hidden in her past.

Ysabelle
Kalashtar Telepathic Psion (Keeper of the Cerulean Sign)
First Appearance: Ch 1
Player: Bill Baker
Ysabelle is an enigma wrapped in a mystery: a young girl with the mind of a grown woman, she has constantly found herself the target of attacks by increasingly powerful and usually Far Realm-warped individuals. She met the Worldwalkers by chance (or fate), and they have sworn to protect her at all costs. She harbors a powerful darkness inside her—a mysterious “Other” (or “Demon”) that rises to destroy her foes when all seems hopeless. She also shows remarkable affinity for the Gatekeeper Staff’s power.
Lyren
Deva Bard
First Appearance: Ch 29
Player: Lisa Kenyon
Just as mysterious as any of the other PCs–including to herself–Lyren the bard heeded the call of destiny and joined the heroes in their hour of need. She does not know much of her past, but her future seems to tie into that of the Gatekeeper. Her constant companion is a cryptic raven familiar.
Notable Allies/Enemies
Razor
Goblin Avenger of the Raven Queen
First Appearance: Ch 1
Possibly mad and definitely dangerous, the goblin Razor aids the heroes in many of their trials, but his alliance often proves more trouble than it is worth.
J’Div at Yavi
Stormsoul Genasi Inspiring Warlord
First Appearance: Ch 1
Vayne’s former partner, J’Div is a gruff genasi warlord who is nonetheless inspiring for his carefully chosen words. J’Div is searching for his sister, who was taken by the Pandemonium Stone.
Bakkonn
Halfling Cleric of Erathis
First Appearance: Ch 22
Bakkonn is a small, irrepressibly curious priest of Erathis, Goddess of Civilization. He brings a cheerful attitude and remarkable healing prowess to the team.
Funikashi and Matsumura
Githzerai Monks
First Appearance: Ch 3
Rival high masters of the Dragon Tear monastery, Funikashi and Matsumura may have similar training, but they do not share the same motives or goals.
Ruthchek
Hobgoblin Fighter/Barbarian
First Appearance: Ch 3
The first mate (or to his mind, co-captain) of the Chromium, Ruthchek is a crude, smelly, off-putting hobgoblin who nevertheless has a deep attachment to his mistress (and former paramour) Vayne.
Sunic
Shadow-infused Moon Elf Rogue
First Appearance: Ch 4
The self-appointed heir of the legacy of Mask, god of thieves and shadows, the enigmatic Sunic has been both friend and foe to the Worldwalkers over the course of their travels.
Fiona
Tiefling Elemental (Infernal) Warlock (Hellbringer)
First Appearance: Ch 12
A quiet, practical warlock, Fiona will stop at nothing and not hesitate to tap into the darkest of powers to rescue her family from some dire, mysterious fate.
Demi-Vayne (aka Vayne-the-White, Shadowmask)
Shadar-kai Assault Swordmage (Ghost Blade)
First Appearance: Ch 12
Created through barely understood magicks of the Orb of Reality, the easily enraged Demi-Vayne is a lascivious caricature created from Vayne’s darkest emotions and desires.

Moon Elf Paladin of Mystra and Silver Dragon (Krynn)
First Appearance: Ch 11 and Ch 13
