Sky is the horned tiefling at the head of the outlanders, a band of raiders who rob travelers and call themselves “free thinkers.” He fights with a spinning, glowing glaive and a small arsenal of spells. He leads an army without much wanting to, deals in black-market artifacts and soul gems, and has little faith in the queen or anything her city tells its people.
Story
Old Friends
In Into the Mirror 15–16, Old Friends - Sky, Sky arrived at the head of his outlander raiders with his glaive whirling and glowing. He was no simple bandit, by his own account. He called himself “a steward of this place, in a way” and said he robbed travelers to feed the “mouths” that depended on him, and he mentioned going “back home.” He also warned: “There’s only one way out of there.”
Sky offered Toddleheim the chance to surrender. When it came to blows, he cursed his enemies, sent hellfire back at anyone who struck him, and snuffed out spells cast against him. Flames did little to him. By the end of the clash he was barely standing.
The Way Out
In Into the Mirror 17, The Way Out, more of Sky’s world came into view. He led a sizable army that included an Orc Raider, a wizard, dragonborn and mages. He made his home in a hollow cavern of soul gems, where he had lived for a few decades, and he ran a black market in artifacts and soul gems from there.
Sky had no love for the queen. He called the sand sickness a lie and the city’s walls a prison. When there were calls to invade Mortaurios, he refused. For all his army, he did not like leading. When the Sword showed his reflection, it revealed a pickpocket, someone who was always thinking about finding things.
Personality and Abilities
Sky looks young and carries himself like a reluctant rebel. He is a tiefling with horns, and his signature weapon is a glaive that spins and glows as he fights. He casts curses that sap his foes, answers wounds with a burst of hellish flame, and can shut down an enemy’s spell entirely. Fire barely touches him.
He is a scrounger at heart, and the reflection in the Sword showed him as a pickpocket forever on the hunt for the next find. He is no scholar, and called himself “not really the book learning type.” He distrusts authority and the stories it tells. He gave Toddleheim the chance to surrender, and he will not lead his people into a war he doesn’t want.
