Signie Oakey – halfling from Luskan

jakkupapu

I was born in Luskan 27 years ago. Luskan is a city in northwest from Neverwinter at the Sword Coast, near River Mirar and Neverwinter Wood. I don’t know have you ever been there or do you know anything about that city… and I’m not sure did I see only one side of it. But I hate that city.

I lived in Luskan with my mother and I have no memories about my father. I have never seen my grandparents. I’m not sure do I have any brothers or sisters. My mother never wanted to talk about family, she just said we two live here together and nothing else is important.

All I know about my father is that he is a necromancer and a cleric of Velsharoon. About my grandparents I don’t know anything. My mother follows Lord of Shadows and she has high status in some guilds in Luskan… she is a thief and assassin. My mother always said they steal only from rich and immoral people. She never talked anything about killing them too. But when I was a child I wanted to believe my mother. In some way I want to believe her words even now. But I left my home because I learnt to know the truth. I still love my mother and I write to her sometimes. But I can’t accept her way of living.

My mother was always good for me, but she was very much away from home. And strange people visited in our home… sometimes they fought with my mother. I lived with fear. Sometimes mother was bleeding when coming home, sometimes she didn’t come at all. I was very young when I had to start taking care of myself.

When I was 23 years old I left Luskan and my mother. First I travelled to Neverwinter because it was familiar to me. In childhood I didn’t pray at all. I hated gods. I thought that gods are evil because my parents said they believe in gods, and my parents were not what I wanted them to be. It was not a secret what god my parents follows but my mother never asked me to follow Mask or any other god. But in Neverwinter I found myself and I found my own way. And I found my god, Brandobaris, and I got some divine powers too.

I lived poor life in Neverwinter, I stole some food to eat and I slept in my friends places. But I liked to steal. I loved that thrilling feeling when I was sneaking in someone’s home. And sometimes I had to kill my victim. It didn’t feel very bad but I tried to avoid killing any innocent person.

When I was 24 I met an elf, Haria, and we become good friends. Haria taught me to speak elvish. Soon we started to travel and seek dangers. We became really adventurers. Yeah, we both loved dangers more than anything. We looted caves, hunted orcs, goblins etc. evil creatures around Faerun, sometimes we robbed some tradesmen. And we never did anything because of money. We just loved that way of living.

But now Haria wanted to stop travelling and adventuring. He moved to the Forest of Lethyr because of beautiful elven woman who lives there. And I decided to stay live in Narfell. No more travelling so much… but still always seeking adventures and dangers.
