== Background ==

=== Birth and Upbringing ===
Reed Tealeaf was born in the outskirts of Vasvik in 1548. However, before his birth his father was claimed by the great war and slain on the battlefield. His mother, in grief and desperate, tried to bring her loved one back and got killed along the process. Reed had already at this point been taken in by the Aziel devoted church in central Vasvik. Reed grew up, lived, studied and trained for 20 years before it was his time to take up his mace and shield and spread the word of Aziel to the world. Reed knows three people well enough to call them friends or master from the church in Vasvik. These people are Quara Domine, a female human disciple, Darrak Frostbeard, a dwarven acolyte and The Elven Bishop Soveliss Amastacia (Starflower). With the great war almost at his doorstep his first assignment was spending one year on the dwarven frontline. Reed being a fresh recruit was only assigned to mend the wounded that made it back to base where he met the dwarf Yusack Bluntgrip, a resident cleric. Yusack taught Reed dwarvish and thus became another person who Reed sees as a teacher; respecting and holding Yusacks teachings dear.

=== Missionary Service ===
After his first year involved with The Great War Reed would do missionary service by adventuring all around Allion. He first arrived in Doveport, Ruashoth were he wouldn't spend too much of his time. He started to look for masses of people where he could preach his beliefs. Reed found one or two groups of people which to the most part agreed and listened to his preachings. Eventually he found a large group of people slightly outside the city of Doveport, the Visatni. Reed asked if he could preach to them and they agreed on one condition. He would need to help them with a task which they had been struggled with ever since they came to Doveport. Reed agreed to the terms since he wasn't in a rush. Reed followed a human woman with long, curely black hair and the last thing he remembered is how he started to fall to the ground as the view of curly hair became ever so distant before waking up.

=== Dalgenen ===
Reed found himself in the middle of nowhere unsure of the time since the weather was cloudy. He started walking to find some sort of civilization, landmarks or roads to get back to Doveport. Reed eventually saw in the distance a ominous castle on top of a hill. Unsure and doubtful Reed still pursue the castle incase of some sort of explanation of where he was, since a castle wasn't near Doveport from what he remembered. On his way he found a road, a sign that said Castle Ravenloft and a hangbrigde. Taking a closer look towards the hangbridge he saw people talking and checking their equipment which consisted of swords, a hammer, bows and a dead body. The group looking ominous revealed themselves as the Lightbringers (Donavich and Ezmerelda included) to Reed and explained to him that there currently was no way back to Doveport. They were in need of a healer since their last one was the lifeless body which they were carrying, Balder Garrick, a fellow life cleric devoted to Llira, goddess of joy.

==== Dinner with Strahd ====
Reed and his new companions eventually made it into Castle Ravenloft and had a dinner with the vampire lord [[Strahd Von Zarovich]]. Reed quickly realized that he was in foreign lands and he became hostile towards Von Zarovich. The vampire lord revealed his plans to the group, save Errich Liagallow, an aquantince to the Lightbringers or save Vallaki, a major town within Dalgenen. The group decided to save Vallaki and after the dinner killed Von Zarovich's ward Rahadin in a foggy and confusing encounter.  

==== The Siege of Vallaki ====
The group found themself in a tavern within Vallaki as swarms of bats, undead, vampire spawns and Vistanis' stormed their position. After a hard fought victory the group hurried towards the Amber Temple to find out more about Strahd Von Zarovich's powers. 

==== Escaping Dalgenen ====
After encountering an amber golem, a wizard, a roc and a illsion of Strahd Von Zarovich the Lightbringers feelt confident in defeating the vampire lord via finding the Sunsword. After a long journey from the Wizards of the Vines to Castle Ravenloft, burning Stradh Von Zarovich resting place and exploring the catacombs of the castle, the group found the sunsword. They confronted Von Zarovich and battled him through his home. At the end of the battle Stradh was slained but at a high price. Many allies were dead, most notably Gokher Wraitharm and Donavich Moldevar. As the remaining group were tending to their wounds and leaving the castle for good Grakos, a member of the Elzahaar confronted the Lightbringers
