Recent History:

Tristian, shaken by the terrors he experienced with the party (but avoiding capture, I believe, through bubbling out--otherwise, he might have been bought by his guild), retreated into the calm, methodical world he best understood, taking a post with the local chapter of the smith's guild as a general laborer and asistant (paper-pusher? archivist?).  He has proved diligent and useful, and spent his spare time attempting to help those (particularly mundanes) who have suffered from the terrors of war and horror influence.  He is still wracked with guilt over leaving his past with Camrish and Newton behind, but has hidden his trepidation behind hard work and good deeds here in (Travar?).  News of difficulties growing out of the past actions of the party would be enough to draw him back out, abeit reluctantly, to try and set things right with those who he left behind...

space here to shift character around, building him into something more needed now.  Suggestions welcome...still short a favored skill, for goodness sake.
