==== Cale & Strachan ====

[[Cale]] & [[Strachan]], friends since childhood, are a Cleric and a
Paladin who worship Odin.  Early in their lives, they took it
upon themselves to track down the three [[disks of Odin]] as well as
the [[Eye of Odin]].  These legendary magic items were of great power
and could be used to combat evil quite effectively.  In February
of 1092, the two stumbled across the disk of Sif.  It was in the
possession of a man who called himself only '[[wizard_pc|Wizard]]'.  [[wizard_pc|Wizard]]
proved to be an ally against a common foe and had no desire to
depart with his treasure (which had been given to him by the
dragon Sowulf).  [[Cale]] & [[Strachan]] agreed to let [[wizard_pc|Wizard]] keep the
disk if he later agreed to relinquish it if its powers were
needed.

In May of 1093, they found the disk of Frigga.  Using its
powers of knowledge, they were led to [[Sly]]'s castle and were on
hand to help defeat the Pit Fiend Akhnatep.  After that, they
travelled with [[Sly]] to kill the dragon [[Sowulf]].  With the treasure
from [[Sowulf]], they established themselves firmly in the kingdom of
[[Rota]] and continued with their quest.

Unfortunately, though they had the disk of Frigga to answer
their questions, they could find no trace of the disk of Thor,
nor of the [[Eye of Odin]].  They spent many fruitless years
searching the world, and eventually gave up for the time being.

It wasn't until 1104 that they were able to resume their
search.  In December of that year, [[Karelia]] returned from [[Greyhawk]]
with what she called the gem of Vakdra.  It was, in actuality,
the [[Eye of Odin]].  With its power to boost the Disk of Frigga,
they were finally able to locate the Disk of Thor on December
25th.  On December 31st, the [[Dark Mage]] used the considerable
power of the evil crown of might to make a telepathic
announcement to everybody in the world about his imminent take-
over.  [[Cale]] & [[Strachan]] saw this as the time when the three must
be together, so they headed south to get the disk of Sif from
Wizard.  He gave it to them without incident.

After the battle on January 8, 1105, [[Cale]] and [[Strachan]]
returned to [[Rota]] and helped restore order.  They often
advise King [[Galin]] of [[Rota]].
