And while Baragar is weak compared to sorcerers such as Krogthar and his minions, or the vile Jher, he is no pushover either. Baragar is a handsome young man with long white hair, and deep blue eyes. He would appear to be almost angelic were it not for the diabolical gleam to his eyes, and the evil grin on his thin, cruel lips. ~ 0 Clanname none~ 0 0 203 533180 -1000 C 30 0 0 1d500+3000 3d8+20 0 0 0 0 0 0 115 115 1 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 1 4 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 #15701 woman witch alara~ the witch Alara~ A comely woman in her early twenties grins at you. ~ This woman is the witch Alara, associate and lover of Baragar.
