An Interview with Najdin Crimsonmaine by Maxwell Davis
MaxwellDavis: What can you tell me about your back story Najdin?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: Najdin had been a well-established character, He was a young boy in far off western lands on another continent. His parents were Eilistraeen drow on the surface in a small community. He used to play with his dad honing his skills. Things seemed like any normal family until one night an argument happened outside, an increase in heat could be felt as a fire started to blaze. His mother had urged him to hide in a trunk. He climbed in and kept quiet as his mother instructed, as he did moments later the door burst open as his father was flying through it. Najdin peered through the hole and saw a young demon woman. She looked drow, yet her eyes glowed with fire her hair was red, she seethed with hatred.
MaxwellDavis: What happened to Najdin's parents?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: Fire erupted from the woman, and she slaughtered them. She peered towards the chest an then turned to leave after they were killed. Najdin waited and waited. De ended up falling asleep which was certainly not restful due to the nightmares, seeing the death over and over again. He awoke to a sound within the house. Perhaps she was back he thought? And so he kept quiet, a figure int he dark approached the chest and opened it. It was a drow in a black hood and clothing. The man introduced himself as Korwyn and apologized for being too late.
MaxwellDavis: What happened to Najdin after he was found by Korwyn?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: He'd explained he was after the demon as there was a contract out for her.He then took him back to a compound within a lake. He brought him to the honored society to meet Kiloran and to begin training as an assassin.
MaxwellDavis: How long did he train with Kiloran to become an assassin?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: He trained with the society for a number of years, Kiloran was the Siran, the master of this particular sect. He had many teachers, Najdin trained for a long time becoming quite skilled catching on quickly and getting quite noticed.
MaxwellDavis: What happened to Najdin after he became noticed?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: He had been a favored student and started with small jobs. Korwyn had become like a father to him, and once the demon was spotted again, Korwyn had gone after her. Najdin ended up following one night, yet he arrived too late, and now Korwyn lay dead.
MaxwellDavis: What happened to Najdin after Korwyn's death?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: He'd picked up the body and the contract and took them back to Kilorans water castle. On his way home he'd run into a woman Lorleei Zenfold, who turned out to be a dragon. They quickly became friends and talked a great deal. When Najdin returned to the school, he'd begged the Siran to allow him to take the contract and fulfill it. Kiloran did not think Najdin was ready. He needed to finish his training. And so more years went by for him to finish, during which he'd often met with Lorelei to talk.
MaxwellDavis: What did Najdin do after he had completed his training?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: He had been awarded with the contract finally. So he searched and searched for this demon, the contract was from a demon lord named Vetis, he wanted her returned. Najdin set out finding the trail which ended up leading him to VIndarkis, where he found Lorelei. She had become the first dragon queen of VIndarkis where she was born. She married the Demilich Gage Cornelius.
When Najdin first came to the lands of VIndarkis and Sylvhara, he'd begun wandering and learning of the lands. Powers sent him to seek out Star to spar, he found her and Manwell in Taure Ru. Manwell made Najdin spar him first. After losing to Manwell, Najdin then faced Star. He beat her and after they spent the night drinking and talking. In time Star and Naj became the closest of friends and often drank and spent time together and many adventures.
Najdin had begun to settle in Vindarkis, and trained with their warriors. He met an angel while he was in Vindarkis which he ended up caring a great deal for even loving her. Years went by and Najdin had trained under Paladin Powers Constantine, who became like a father to him. When Lorelei had been crowned queen, she began to crown her knights. Najdin became her first Knight, becoming her General and commander of the warriors, with Powers nomination and support.
MaxwellDavis: Did Najdin ever find the demon?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: Well.. after some time Najdin was getting settled seeing his family get killed, his friends and loved ones hurt, he felt weak.. it began to take a toll on him. Rogues and Assassins are trained to use shadow magic. Najdin began tapping into it more and more wanting strength and power. Eventually, his mind became twisted and until finally, it split. A darker side began to come forth calling itself The Shadow. He'd begun to become quite powerful and dangerous. One late night Najdin was going through paperwork and his office exploded. The demon had tried to kill him this time. And so Najdin went into hiding, he fled into the underdark of House Acanthus. He met Arachna a female drow warrior which was 2nd in command of the house. He spent time with her and they fell in love, once he resurfaced they had begun planning a wedding.
MaxwellDavis: Did they ever get married?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: Yes they did, Lorelei was not pleased about it but many supported it, many dragons, many drow and people attended it. Arachna became pregnant and they had a child a girl named Ahlyassria. After some time they had another child named Nisaelia. The demon kidnapped Nisa so get Najdin's attention... She wanted to talk. She told Najdin that she was his half sister Sylwyn.
MaxwellDavis: What did Najdin do after he found out that the demon was his sister?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: After some long talks.. he learned his sister was given to the demon lord by their parents. He decided to help her and refused to collect on the contract, which quite angered Kiloran and Vetis.
MaxwellDavis: How did Najdin end up in the kingdom of Lundene?
Najdin Crimsonmaine: Many years went by.. Vindarkis had faded back to the empire and Najdin and others were scattered. Najdin became general in Taure Ru under King Zig for a time. Najdin had gotten darker, and the Shadow had become more prominent. He'd met another drow, Sabbath a ranger in Sylvhara and they became friends. Arachna started a Drow house which Sab ended up being her 2nd in command. In time Najdin and Aracha had such issues, and they ended their marriage. He'd fallen for Sab after they became quite close. After many years he'd gone to a land called Dravendor. He'd met Jayded and Katja and many more; a scroll was found in an old library which Lorelei helped to translate. This scroll had a prophecy on it, and in time he'd discovered a map was hidden on it which lead him to Lundene. Najdin took his ship and his legion along with his dragon kin to essentially invade Lundene. To settle and begin searching for the ancient dragon ruins.
