Character Name: Tomas Athanagar"There have been many stories written of the Dales and their heroes, the Zhents and their villanous overlords… it seems that every would be teller of great tales simply reworks the old into something with a slightly different flavour if they're skilful. But what about the frontier? What about the lands under the shadow of the Great Glacier, where the howl of the biting wind is every bit as dangerous as the howl of the hungry wolf? Where broken ruins and ancient secrets lay undisturbed, their stories and the stories of those who'd brave them left untold? No my friends, no... it is my aim to rectify this, and to embark on an expedition to the lands of Narfell, where I'll compile a great ballad, and record the deeds of men and women fair or foul! So if you've enjoyed my fables and songs tonight, please donate generously to the Athanagar Frontier Expedition Fund, and buy a brave explorer another round! Thank you!"
Tom stepped of the stage to wild and slightly drunken applause. Raising his empty ale tankard he found it quickly refilled, and put his arm around the nearest sort-of-pretty lass, drinking deep.
The next morning Tom groaned, rolling halfway out of bed, resulting in muted protest from the girl beside him. Dressing in an unmotivated sort of way, he went to his pack to check the wellbeing of the Frontier Expedition Fund. Unsurprisingly, the erstwhile healthy Fund had suffered significantly at some point in the course of the night's celebrations, and he groaned again, brushing an errant strand of hair out of his eyes. The half elf wished he had inherited his father's lack of a need to shave, knowing he probably looked almost as terrible as he felt. At this rate he'd never make it to Narfell... but as he'd heard it said, the journey was meant to be half the fun.
