Jovial: Picked these up at Origins from the Q-Workshop booth and want to geek about them to anyone that will listen: a featherweight bone-colored JOVIAL die and a heavy, metal GLUM die!

Glum: Can't roll that glum die on a nice wood tabletop without getting divs (oops); dice tray or plastic surface only. Yowza.

BRAND THE WANDERER

BRAND THE WANDERER

All that deserves a name
The Companion: Brand always has a companion. Sometimes a friend in arms, sometimes a trusty hound or steed or hawk. Sometimes a girl. One by one they are taken away. 

Feats heroic
Jovial: Gleaming sword to heart of foe, Brand invokes a word of doom. 

Glum: Brand pronounces the whorling word of heart; the companion departs, obedient. They shall not fail. 

Trick
Inevitable Foe: Shaodon the Man-Ape. More cunning than man, more brutal than beast. Uttering words of fell sorcery he murders Brand’s companions one by one.

Notes:
Ignorant of sorcery, Brand swings at shadows on a rudderless quest for vengeance. Simple and direct, Brand loves the open plain, the rich dark wine, the embrace of a girl, the drums of battle. 

Brand swears that victory over the man-ape is his singular quest, but it is likely the quest itself that drives him, rather than its ending. Deep down perhaps he doesn’t want to succeed.
