Description[]

Appearance[]

Farriwen is a female air genasi with very pale, almost alabaster skin that gives off a faint glow from underneath. She has pale pink hair tied into a loose braid that seems to move around as if there's a constant breeze. She wears a sleeveless grey robe that fades into flames near the bottom. Most noticeably, Farriwen's arms are adorned with glowing glyphs - her left arm with symbols of clouds, and her right with symbols of flames that snake up her arm. She clarified to Taryon Darrington that these weren't tattoos, but engravings.[4]

Biography[]

Background[]

Farriwen mentioned to Taryon that she was from the Monastery of the Eternal Balance on an island in the Lucidian Ocean, and left to train alongside the famed adventurer.[5]

"The Adventures of the Darrington Brigade" (Sx49)[]

In 826 P.D., Taryon Darrington welcomed Farriwen at his estate in Deastok inviting her to contest for the position in the Darrington Brigade. Farriwen went first against The Owlbear. She uses her "dope monk shit" to knock out the Owlbear handily. Tary thought her chances looked good.

The same day, the party went to investigate a meteorite-like object witnessing it falling in the nearby Cyrengreen Forest at the behest of Master Doolan Tversky. Close to the crater they were attacked by dire wolves, and Farriwen took the most damage out of the party.
