Lance Garnett

Lance Garnett is an adventurer currently aligned with the Freehold, having travelled from Exandria to escape his past demons. He co-owns The All-Inn Tavern with his travelling companion Nadir of the Gifts, and spends his time between expeditions running the regular card and dice games.

Background
Growing up on the Swavain Islands, the only child of a ship captain that ran long haul operations out of Darktow, Lance was often left to fend for himself on the streets on the city port. He grew up fast, adapting to a quiet life of careful spending and bartering to get by, but issues began to rise when his father was caught up in a plot to evade local tithes. His old man went missing shortly after that, and soon debtors began to come calling on the adolescent Lance. This led to a swift spiral into gambling, which obviously only propagated the issue and quickly compounded upon his original problems. At the bottom of the barrel, with no cards left to play, Lance fled to the other end of the known world.

When the last of his savings ran out, he was pressganged into service on a ship in Marquet and sent off on an expedition into the unknown.

They were only a few weeks out of port when a strong wind blew the ship off course and into the path of a perilous maelstrom. During the ensuing chaos, a rogue lightning bolt struck Lance and blasted him from the deck. By any sane reasoning, he should have died but, miraculously, he awoke when he was pulled from the water and found himself in possession of powers unlike anything he had known before. It was not the only thing that had changed though, and the crew soon began to notice unfamiliar islands on the horizon. They had somehow found their way to Elysia.
