Ellywick Nackles

Early Life
Ellywick grew up in an unnamed gnomish village not far from the star mounts. As a child she'd heard stories of the dragon in the mountains and the giant men in the forest. She never believed any of the stories, instead she played around the borders of the village, Frequently teasing the kobolds she found at the base of the mountain.

One day, in her late teens, she took this taunting too far, killing two kobolds by dropping heavy stones on their heads. The kobolds reported this attack to their master, Imvaernarhro, who was in the mood to slaughter a village or two.

Ellywick began running home after she felt the ground shake and heard a stone shattering roar. She got there just in time to watch the great red dragon burning down her village and get trapped in the building she was trying to hide in. After the roof collapsed on her, all Ellywick could do was wait and listen as the dragon slaughtered and burnt everything for hours.

After an eternity of hellish noise, and another of gut wrenching silence, Ellywick began to hear heavy footsteps walk by, in scared whimper she called for help. The footsteps stopped, and the roof was lifted off her. What stood before her, holding the roof up, was the tallest creature she had ever seen (with exception of the dragon), a giant man, a 'firbolg' from the stories she'd been told growing up.

He asked her to come out, she did, and handed her a bear cub to raise her spirits. The bear cub was covered in ash and dust, so Ellywick called it Dusty. The giant man asked if there were any houses with a basement they could stay in as night had almost fallen. She showed him the way to the remains of the local brewers.

That night Ellywick named the firbolg 'Naeric Hiraeth' after her grandfather's racing dog and the gnomish word for homesickness. They became friends overnight, Naeric taking her under his wing.

They spent the next several weeks making their way to Ellywick's granduncle, Podri Maekkelferce, in waterdeep. While stopping in Red Larch, a warforged called Hera confused with a goblin and tried to slay her, Naeric, being almost twice the height of Hera, stopped the fight in a few seconds. To apologise for almost killing Ellywick, Hera offered to join the pair as a guard. At first Ellywick refused but after a few words with Naeric, she agreed.

Currens Fatum Guild
After arriving in Waterdeep, Podri helped raise Ellywick and fund the Currens Fatum adventurer's guild in its early days.

After a few years Ellywick became good friends with a tiefling called Mantra through their adventures, a halfling called Richorn Wildcloak through their mischief, and a goliath called Helheim over their love of bears.

Ellywick lead and joined countless missions and jobs for the guild. One of her most important was with Mantra, Fizz Jefferson, & Sigmund Frostfang, where they were payed 7,000 gold pieces to kill an adult white dragon that had recently moved in near the spine of the world. At the end of the quest, after they'd killed it, dusty ate some of its flesh and lapped up its blood. He froze solid before emerging with new snow white fur patterns, wings, and a breath weapon. Dusty the bear had become a half-dragon.

Afterlife
After Sacrificing herself to save her party-mates and slay the dragon Imvaernarhro, she awoke in the divine realm of Iallanis Florallium. The giant goddess standing near her with Garl Glittergold at her side. Both gods welcomed and recognised her for her noble sacrifice, they showed her to a fountain where she could see the aftermath of the battle and all who survived in the waters.

As a reward for her actions in life, both gods agreed to let her choose her afterlife and those she spent it with, her first choice was to bring back Dusty, the half-dragon brown bear, he had been her companion for almost twenty years by that point. Garl granted this within seconds as he summoned the bear's spirit.

Ellywick would choose to stay with Iallanis until Naeric himself could visit freely or had his own divine realm. Until then Iallanis has given Ellywick access to a hidden archway that lead her to the Séance Stones.
