Nadine Fournier Returning from the Ancient Forest of Vertombre

Tired but content, Nadine is returning home after a pleasant evening with her friends in the ancient forest. Her days are long but fulfilling. Before sunbreak, she begins work at her adoptive parents’ bakery, and when she gets the chance, she ends her days picking herbs and making merry with her friends in the ancient forest. Living humbly like that, no one from her village knows or even suspects the secret behind her lineage!

Character: Nadine Fournier, Half-Elf, Half-Angel Divine Sorceress and Baker

Nadine is a half-elf divine sorceress whose command of the Eternal Light comes from her forbidden lineage as the illegitimate daughter of an angel and an elf paladin who broke his oath of chastity.

To save her from divine wrath, Nadine’s celestial mother hid her in the rural village of Erzy deep into the mainland of the kingdom of Montbonnet, where she grew up bullied as “the ear” and the “illegitimate” for her unusual appearance and particularly her pointed ears. She knew she could just wish the wounds inflicted upon her by the local bullies to close, but chose to keep her magic hidden in fear of being accused of witchcraft.

Wandering into the ancient forest of Vertombre after her work in the bakery was done for the day, she became friends with the last remaining wood elf of the forest, Grannie Lorywen, and her half-elven great-grandson, Felynur Greenshade.

As Nadine grew up, her former bullies became her admirers and would-be suitors, but she just smiled and ignored their advances before venturing into the ancient forest each evening. For Nadine, life became good for a while.

Then disaster struck the kingdom.

Overconfident, the new king of Montbonnet had broken ancient pacts and thus defied the will of the warring gods. Odon, the god of eternal life, cursed the kingdom with his plague, the pale death, while Gorg, the brutal god of war, inflicted maddening bloodlust to mortals who would open their hearts to senseless violence.

As Erzy, Nadine’s village, struggled with the pale death, Gorg’s bloodlust drove hunters from the nearby village of Vitz to attack. Amidst the chaos, Nadine became separated from Felynur and finally decided to unleash her magic to protect the few remaining villagers.

A few days later, Theomachic clerics who oppose the gods and musketeers under the king’s service arrived to the ruins of Erzy to restore order and evacuate the survivors. Among the musketeers, Nadine found an unlikely ally in Mousquetaire Magique Eremon Lenoir, a magic musketeer trained in the arcane arts, who was seeking a way to protect the kingdom from divine wrath. With the help of Nadine, Eremon Lenoir began to uncover a web of conspiracies, corruption, and divine malice that threatened to destroy the kingdom. He sought to protect her from these evils, but bravely, she decided to reveal her hidden powers to him and use her magic to protect the kingdom and heal its people. Now, they travel together, more than friends, opposing hidden evils while baking some of the most delicious pastries in the kingdom!
