I got into Forgotten Realms by playing Neverwinter Nights 2. I've been a player of D&D for only a few months, and I'm only a casual player. However, I've been developing a campaign based on the Sword Coast North in 1389 DR, the Year of the Forgiven Foes. In some respects a Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion converted to paper D&D, it stars the daughter of my character in NWN2 and Mask of the Betrayer. We're using the 3.5 rules because the 4th edition rules are too confusing, in my opinion. (Also, arcane spellcasters suffered a major nerf in the conversion.)

The campaign is called "Bane's Creeping Shadow," and pits the PCs against a cult of Bane called the Dark Hand that seeks to rule Faerûn from the shadows in the aftermath of the apocalyptic Spellplague. I'm using elements from practically every 3rd and 3.5 edition rulebook and supplement. (Thank God for P2P file sharing--the vast majority are out of print.)

Background
Faksi Het is the Church of Set's emissary to the Dark Hand. The exact details of his job are unknown, but it is believed that the Settites (I hope that's the right word) offered the Dark Hand funding in exchange for aid in overthrowing the government of Mulhorand.

Het is a cleric of Set and aspiring glorious servitor. Short and unimposing, he is nonetheless an accomplished combatant. He enjoys killing, but is able to rein in his blood-lust with the ease of long practice. He enjoys music, and can play the oud fairly well (though hardly as well as a bard). A specialist in destructive spells, he is also a dabbler in the dark arts of demonic and diabolic summoning and binding.

Physical Description
Het is a fairly typical result of Mulan interbreeding with the native human races of Toril. He is short and lanky, with straight black hair, tan skin, and dark brown eyes. He arms himself with a longspear, wears studded leather armor, and always straps his favorite oud to his back.

This information comes by way of the Lords' Alliance embassy in Mulhorand, which received it from the paladins of Osiris, who keep dossiers of known agents of the churches of Set and Sebek.
