Pathfinder - Hellknight Hill: Magon

You are Magon Vaerdain, a white mage of noble blood, your pale Ustalavic skin kissed by the cold elegance of your lineage, and your eyes glinting with the dispassionate sheen of polished gold coins.

Magon Vaerdain, a white mage of noble House Vaerdain, stands at its edge, his pale skin
