Gaspard du Pilier's boots tread a path he has walked many times before. Rivesonge is now the place where he reunites with his people and where he can also carry out his duty as Sermonizer. It took him many years of studying magic and theology to grasp the full extent of his calling.
In addition to teaching the people under his rule, he must be both a guide and an agent of justice. He must inspire others with the light of the Holy Emperor and offer comfort to those in need. The forests he walks through have served as places of forgiveness and listening.
A noise in the distance, in the woods, alerts him. The people of Rivesonge rely on him and the Order of Oberois, but also on violent battles to defend the people from heresy. Justice sometimes has unexpected ways of speaking.
His past as an ambitious young monk is now far behind him. Magic and faith will help him support his community against the worst atrocities. With his sword and mysticism, Gaspard will defend those under his rule.

Antoine asked Les Artisans d'Azure and its talented team of artisans to create an outfit for his character in Brumelance. The custom armor particularly catches our eye: it was forged from aluminum in our workshops in Montreal. Consisting of a blackened breastplate, it is accompanied by a full arm featuring a Gothic-style spaulder and a floating couter; a blend of leather and metal was used for the unique bracer for the sake of comfort and practicality. To accentuate his religious silhouette, Antoine wears a short fabric cape made in our workshops and a leather stole. Made of thick cotton, it features a high folding collar and leather decorations on the corners. He also wears a soft white leather stole that enhances his silhouette and can be attached to his cape with snap fasteners. These are adorned with symbols of his character's religion in Brumelance. To continue the two-tone black and white look, he wears a fabric war skirt.
At his waist is the versatile adventurer's leather belt, accompanied by a Spellbook pouch. The Elven Knife and the Mage's Sword form an arsenal of weapons, well protected by Full scabbards. To defend himself magically and cast spells, he uses a precious, unique magic wand made by unique magic wand made by McCormick Wands Studio in Canada.
