Notes 

• Leowyn is a Human Shield Maiden, or Fighter, who was left for dead when her party that included Galen, a Dwarf, and Rostam Zah, a Peshwah swordsman, was ambushed by brigands associated with the fiendish Temple of the Frog located deep within Loch Gloomy (also known as 'The Gloomy' by the locals).
• Left for dead, Leowyn was found and healed by an orc cleric of Sollus, the Harvest Morning, by the name of Brango Stormroar. He had been hunting for plants when he came upon the fallen Shield Maiden and brought her back to his hut to care for her. Rather than lead her to South Pim to recover further, Leowyn has convinced the gray orc to follow her and find what became of her lost party members.
• She sets off, starting off with a basic spear that Brango had on hand and the shield she managed to hold onto as she tries to recover her family sword and learn what happened to her original party members.
