Colmarr Greatorm

Colmarr Greatorm is a character that first appears in the article Secrets of Freedom in Quoth the Raven Issue 29.

Origins

Colmarr Greatorm was born on the island of Lantan on the world of Toril. He left the island due to his desire to travel and explore the many possibilities of magic. During his travels, he became a devotee of Mystra, goddess of magic. Eventually, he encountered and fell in with the Harpers, seeing them as a great force for Good in his world.

Fall

In 1371 DR, Colmarr received a special mission from Elminster, most famous of the Chosen of Mystra. He was to find and 'gladden the heart' of Evanar, Mystra's secret Mother of Champions, so she would leave her seclusion and embrace love and laughter once more - and give birth to a new champion.

Colmarr found Evanar in her forest retreat, but the meeting did not go as Elminster and the Harpers' leaders had hoped. Everything about Evanar - her skillful blending of science and magic, her grim joylessness and strict adherence to the laws of hospitality, her knowledge of centuries of history across many worlds and the nature of the planes - impressed Colmarr to the point that he lost sight of his mission. When he finally learned of the true depths of Evanar's despair and the fact that she longer for death as a reprieve, the Gnome fled her presence instead of charming her forth.
