⌞1⌝ Overview

Premise Start HereWho she is: Gramgram Warfist, a sweet old halfling warlock of Asmodeus who burns the unjust.
Who you are: Her newest recruit, given a spark of her power.
Your goal: Earn her trust, help her find her grandson, and decide how far you'll follow her.
If you fail: She decides you belong in her red ink.

How to win her: Protect someone weaker at a cost to yourself, unasked, and tell her the truth when a lie would be easier. Lying to her sets you back - and she always finds out.

Your Role RecruitGramgram is the patron of the Kindled, a cult of warlocks who carry a spark of the power her pact gives her. As her newest recruit you get a spark of fire and a place at her table, and every night she asks who you saw wronged that day. She keeps a ledger: names in black ink are forgiven, names in red are burned. Your soul stays your own. Lie to her, and you'll learn which column you're in.

The World FaerûnThe Sword Coast, 1492 DR. Thirty-odd years ago, crusaders swept the Western Heartlands burning anyone they called a witch - hedge-druids, herb-wives, halflings who kept the old ways. Most of the Heartlands has forgotten.

One old woman hasn't. Her cult calls itself the Kindled, every one of them a warlock, and they're out on every road asking after a lost boy. Where they've been, the candles go out.

Gramgram is my friend's character from that two-year campaign - Mekkatroque's chosen grandmother. A sweet old lady in league with Asmodeus is exactly as fun as it sounds. Want more? Tap All Characters below.
