This is the tale of Vin'del Tane Priest of Istishia.
Vin'del was born in Waterdeep.....He was happy there and lived a long life as the son of the high guard. He eventually became a sailor of the sword coast, bringing merchants and goods to Balder’s Gate and Luskan.
When Vin'del was around 110 years of age he became engaged to Arilith, a lady of waterdeep. She was as beautiful as the moon, and with a heart as warm as the sun. His best friend Sephriste a Ship maker was jealous and Vin'del was aware of it.... but he did not want to get in the way of there friend ship and expected his friends jealousy to pass.
One week from there wedding he sent for his betrothed to come from her cottage outside of Waterdeep and come to him to prepare for the wedding. She never arrived...and after a day longer then he had expected her he went in search of her....
After asking about and finding a few people that saw her leave the small village outside Waterdeep in the direction of town. he finally tracked her down. Upon finding her horse dying of starvation tied up to a post outside an abandoned watermill. He entered to find his fiancé raped, tortured, and murdered. under the bed she was partially bound to he found the name drawn in her blood SEPHRISTE .
Vin'del went down a dark path falling into some bad crowds followed by worse ones. it started with thieves...using them to locate his old friend... then it turned to worse falling into a group of evil priest that , in secret, worshiped BANE. he latter became a priest of the god....growing in hate and power he finally got a lead that led him to Balder’s Gates docks... a place he knew well......
Vin'del stowed him self onto the ship. after only moments of searching he found his foe and began battle. the battle weaned down both becoming exhausted. then the ship struck something and capsized....... while he was drowning Vin’del life was revealed to him.
His history: a vision of a honest working sailor and good man
His present: a vile thing of hate that clung to his truest love to fuel his darkest hate.
His future: a priest of istishia protecting healing and nourishing life and all it has to offer.
Istishia had then appeared in his premonition. claiming that he would be my second chance. And I would be his voice to the world.
Latter at the age of 130 Vin'del sailed up the Chionthar, and then traveled to Cormyr to start his new life. Vin'del Tane Cleric of Istishia gives his blessings to all who need help in the journey of life. he wishes to see potential grow... and not to see people deceive themselves as to what they really are.
Vin'del may sometimes be seen in Isenhold on a cliff above the water. Yet he will always have something to remind him of how far someone can fall.....and how far someone can sore back.
