Wandering through the streets of Praach is an envoy of the fey. With a swagger in his step and a smirk on his face, Pontalim Iondall embodies the mischief of the fey in just about everything he does. The rules and laws of men are trivial compared to his interests and desires, and if he ever decides that he wants to do something, there's very little in this world that can stop him.
[break][break]
While that may sound ominous, in reality Pontalim is a very happy and upbeat person, with a curiosity that borders on the obsessive.
[break][break]
He has also exhibited magical abilities, but brushes them aside as part of his fey nature. But there are rumors of what truly grants his powers, of a being not from this world.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodySymbol]⚓

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]The Feywild is an unusual plane, one of courts and madness, indulgence and pain. Various courts, Seelie and Unseelie, have domain in a multitude of areas and accidentally insulting one of the more powerful fey could mean risking your life. This is where Pontalim grew up and spent most of his life. Where most fey are beholden to a court, he was not, and spent most of his time simply wandering around, exploring. He traveled through many courts, usually causing trouble before slipping away. He moved around so quickly that his reputation couldn't precede him, but he made sure to make himself known.
[break][break]
One day, or night it was hard to tell, Pontalim stumbled upon someone in the lands of the Unseelie Court. In the center of a gloomy clearing sat what appeared to be a short human woman, draped in shadows and dark clothes, drinking from an odd metal cylinder. Appearances could be deceiving, however, and hers was no exception. She introduced herself as an archfey, a bit of a rogue, and she'd been keeping an eye on Pontalim for quite some time. She'd taken an interest in him, and was prepared to make a deal with him. She would give him some of her power, and all he had to do was continue traveling, continue causing mischief as he already had.
[break][break]
Needless to say, Pontalim eagerly accepted the deal. Ignoring the fact that you don't just turn down a deal from an archfey, the thought of magical power would certainly let him do so much more. They shook on the deal, and the sea elf immediately felt the power flow into him.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyQuote]"I've gotten bored here, everything's the same kind of chaotic. I want something new. That's where you come in. I give you the power to go do stuff, and you do one thing in exchange: be interesting."

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodySymbol]⚙

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]And thus, Pontalim became a warlock with an unknown patron. As a sign of their pact, his once sea-green eyes became a stormy gray, matching the ones of his patron, allowing her to see through him and experience the world through his eyes. With this new power, he left the Feywild, and began exploring the world for the first time. His natural inclination toward the sea led Pontalim to spend a decade or two serving on various sailing vessels, nimbly clambering along the rigging, helping fend off or aid pirates depending on his current affiliation, and in general just taking in as much of the world as possible. He's now left behind the ships, as the monotony was too much to bear. Now arriving in Praach, Pontalim hopes he can find something a bit more interesting to keep his attention, and to keep the attention of his patron.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ Enhanced Vision

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
Pontalim's eyesight is better than most, allowing him to observe things that others might miss. His vision is also unaffected by low levels light, and he can see even in darkness, albeit only in shades of gray.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ Gifts of the Sea

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
The sea is a second home to Pontalim, the first being the Feywild, and thus he feels completely comfortable in its briny embrace. His movement is unimpeded in water, it can fill his lungs just as easily as air, and his connection with it allows him to communicate with its denizens, at least with simple ideas and concepts. Fish aren't exactly the greatest thinkers. Not only that, but his time as a sailor has given Pontalim significant experience working on and learning about ships.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ Feywild Influence

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
Pontalim's experiences in the Feywild have given him a handful of unique abilities, handy for survival in that dangerous place.
[break][break]
Fey Presence: Pontalim channels his fey nature, either in a beguiling or fearsome manner, causing creatures around him to either be charmed by or frightened of him for a short duration.
[break][break]
Misty Escape: The fey equivalent of a panic button, when Pontalim is hurt he can become invisible and teleport a distance away, remaining invisible for a brief moment as he recovers.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ Pact Magic

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
The bond between Pontalim and his patron has given him access to magical abilities far beyond his normal ones. Aside from the ability to cast spells, magic designed to ensnare the mind and charm the target has a more difficult time getting a grip on him, and it completely fails when trying to cause him to sleep. Conversely, it has given Pontalim a silver tongue of sorts, as he can spin honeyed words, truthful or not, with the best of them. This bond also allows Pontalim to change his appearance freely, albeit an illusory change, and lets him sense the location of magic within a certain area.
[break][break]
The power that comes from the pact is limited when it comes to spellcasting, however. While there are some spells that Pontalim is able to cast freely and at will, there are others that drain his magical reserves, straining the bond between him and his patron. After an hour or so, however, these reserves fill up once more, the bond is free from strain, and Pontalim is able to cast his spells once more.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ Cantrips

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
These are the handful of spells that Pontalim knows off the top of his head, that he is able to cast at will.
[break][break]
Friends: Pontalim subtly influences the mood of another, making them more receptive to whatever it is that he might say.
[break][break]
Mage Hand: Pontalim summons a spectral hand that he can puppeteer for a short duration, having it do whatever a normal hand could do.
[break][break]
Prestidigitation: A cantrip with several uses, including creating sensory effects, affecting small flames, and other such illusions.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ Spells

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
These are the spells that draw upon the power of Pontalim's connection with his patron. As such, they are more limited in the amount he can cast, but are much more powerful than his cantrips.
[break][break]
Cause Fear: Pontalim targets up to three people and attempts to strike fear into their heart, shaking their resolve and making them unwilling to approach.
[break][break]
Counterspell: Pontalim rips the fabric of a spell in the midst of its casting, potentially causing it to fail entirely.
[break][break]
Crown of Madness: Pontalim targets someone and imbues them with a certain madness, causing them to attack targets of his choosing, regardless of if they're allies of the target.
[break][break]
Dispel Magic: Similar to Counterspell, Pontalim rips the fabric of a spell, but this time after it has been cast. This spell can be on a creature or object, or can just be a magical effect. This ripping potentially causes any spells affecting the target to end.
[break][break]
Fear: This spell is similar to Cause Fear, but its targets are chosen indiscriminately in a certain area within Pontalim's vision. Unlike Cause Fear, however, targets affected by this spell are not paralyzed by fear, but are forced to run as far and fast as they can from what they perceive as their worst fears.
[break][break]
Suggestion: Pontalim levies his honeyed words in an attempt to influence a creature of his choosing. If successful, he sets a course of activity for them to complete to the best of their albeit, so long as it is not obviously harmful. Once the task is completed or if Pontalim harms the target, the spell ends.
[break][break]
Summon Fey: Possibly Pontalim's favorite spell, casting this creates a temporary bridge between his current plane and the Feywild, allowing his patron to temporarily step through and manifest. Of course, she can manifest whenever she wants, but this way does not require exertion on her part.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ Seaward Sword

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
A weapon touched by the power of both the sea and the fey, this long, slightly curved sword seems lighter than it should be, and appears to have a blade entirely made from dozens of pieces of sea-glass. Nothing appears to be holding them together, and glass would not seem to be a good idea for a sword, yet this sword is as durable and sharp as others, if not more so. Pontalim wields it with ease and grace, seemingly drawing it from nowhere and returning it to that same place when he's not using it.
[break][break]
The blade has another secret up its sheath, due to its magical nature. When activated, the shards of sea-glass separate, seemingly suspended away from each other. Each piece is razor sharp, and the weapon more than doubles in length. In this manner, Pontalim wields it like a whip, and does so with deadly efficiency.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ A Pirate's Blanket

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
A keepsake from his days on the other side of maritime law, this set of leather armor is actually made from dyed, reinforced, and slightly enchanted ship's canvas. The result is a set of armor that gives some modicum of protection, allows Pontalim to move freely, and isn't damaged by saltwater.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridHeader]⚓ Random Trinkets

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyGridPadding]

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyFontSize]
Pontalim has a nasty habit of simply taking anything that seems of interest to him, so his bags are regularly full of random items and trinkets that may or may not have any real value to him. Even these trinkets don't last long, however, as he either sells them to get money to spend on new things, trades them for other things that catch his fancy, or simply throws them away because his bag is getting too cluttered.

My name is Atala Calis. I am the son of Dorin and Kara Calis, two shipping merchants who usually go on long trips with their goods. They were supposed to return from their last shipment almost half a year ago, and they still haven't come back. I don't care what they say, I need to go find them.
[break][break]
I've been searching for months, and nobody has been able to give me a straight answer. The closest I've gotten is one of the stops they were making along the journey to resupply. Other than that, nothing. They didn't make it to their destination, so was it pirates? A storm? I need something, anything.
[break][break]
I have no idea where I am. I just know I am not where I was before. Everything about this place seems wrong, yet at the same time it seems too perfect. It reminds me of stories my mother used to tell me, of places where normal people crossed over into the realm of the fey. Am I in the Feywild now?
[break][break]
I was close to death, but I was saved. This woman I encountered offered me help. She gave off an odd air, dressed all in dark clothing that was not of a style I'd seen before, drinking some crimson liquid from a metal cylinder, which she offered me as well. It tasted like I'd swallowed red lightning, but I didn't want to spit it out and offend her. I'm so glad she'll help me, I'd do anything she asked.

[attr="class",AlchemyContentBodyQuote]"How about this? I'll give you the power you need to find your parents, and you just give me a little something in return. We can work out the details later, yeah? Great. Then I just have one thing for you to do:
