This is Wesley Rothmier my new dnd character for a forum based curse of strahd campaign. He is a human courtier undead warlock who made a deal with an entity he know longer rembers to leave the dread domain and meet with his late father's family escaping the horror of the place in which he was born. Unfortunately for Wesley it is now time for him to make good on his half of the deal forcing him back into the horrid land he's forgotten.

A few very fine Gentlemen

Darling @lady-lord-cornbury I recently had a meeting with several very handsome and promising more or less young men, all of them aspiring courtiers. Would you consider one or two of them as toy boys for our pleasure valets?

Alexander was a child of the new, disenchanted world (Aristotle had been one of his tutors) and probably did not realize how difficult it was to fill a godlike king's shoes.*

*Literally: Alexander was a foot shorter than the Persian king, and the first time he jumped on the throne his feet did not reach the ground. They dangled in a most ungodlike way until a courtier rushed up with a footstool.
