    character: Abdull Al Lameb

    Abdull Al Lameb was born in Calimshan, at the great city of Calimport. He was the bastard son of a Ali Lameb, a very rich merchant, with a woman slave, and since his birth, he never knew peace. Although he was a bastard son, he was raised with Ali's family, what gave him the possibility to learn basics of education like writing. But, never going out of his house, he don't learned Common, since he always talked with the other slaves in Alzhedo.
    Been humiliated by everybody for been son of a slave, he used to stay with the slaves of the house, the kind of people that treated him as an equal. Abdull hated a lot his father, because of the way he treated his mother. His father knew that, and liked to humiliate her in front of him just to see him crying.
    One day, when Abdull had 16 years old (and started becoming big), Ali started beating Abdull's mother, and Abdull, in an explosion of anger, atacked Ali. Although Abdull was a big and strong, he was not trained in combat, and Ali beated him, really angry about what Abdull has done. When he finished beating him, he told to Abdull that he needed to be punished for what he did. He said he knew the right thing to do…
    The next day, Abdull woke up in caged in a caravan. He became desperate, and asked for the one who was guiding the caravan where he was and where he was going to. The man told Abdull that was at a Zhentarim caravan, because Ali got very angry with him, and them sold him to this caravan, a slave caravan of gladiators, that used to travel to cities where slavery is allowed and do itinerant shows. Abdull, them, realized that his life had finished in that day.
    Travelling for years, usually near the Moon Sea, Abdull was able to survive the life of a gladiator, since he was strong and healthy, but them, suddenly, his fate changed again.
    The caravan was near Zhentil Keep, in a small city, and in that city, there was an Thayan Enclave. One of the red wizards of the enclave was returning to Thay, and, as he said, he need to buy some slaves to go with him in the long, and dangerous, trip. One of this slaves was Abdull.
    The caravan took a very strange way... tha red wizard, probably, was planning to do something before going to Thay. He traveled to the North, to the lands of Narfell, and stood there for almost a year, talking with people at some cities and towns, always in a language that Abdull don't knew (actually, Common).
    But them, one day, his fate changed again. The caravan was crossing Narfell at night, and suddenly, it was atacked by some strange creatures; with yellow or green skin and the size of a human child. Although the thayan was not weak, and there were more than 4 slaves, the creatures were in a much larger number, and overwhelmed the caravan. But Abdull was able to escape in the dark, and started running the best he could. After some minutes, he could see a small town, and came there.
    Very frightened, Abdull started talking with the citizens, when he suddenly realized that they don't understanded Alzhedo, just common.
    Been lost in a strange land, Abdull luckly was able to pick some of the thayan wizard gold, and, planning to return to Calmishan, he was able to buy some things to defend himself in the way.
    Walking for some hours, he realized he could be easily killed by the creatures of the forest. Besides that, he realized that he probably was far of calimshan: that land was very cold, even colder that the Moon Sea.
    When Abdull started thinking his destiny was to be doomed, something happened. Abdull was walking with his weapon at the city, and suddenly a woman appeared and started talking with him. Abdull did not understood a thing, and, trying to talk in Common, he said that the didn't speak that language.
    The woman made a signal to Abdull follow her outside the city, and when they got there, she started saying some prays for a god. Suddenly, the woman started talking in Alzhedo with Abdull, and Abdull tried to explain his situation. The woman presented herself as Samantha, and told him about the laws of the city. Also, she told he was at the town of Norwick, in the lands of Narfell, a land at the North of Thay and Mulhorand. Abdull, first got nervous about the distance, but them he started thinking: he never had a real life since them, and had no reason to return to his "home". After doing some more questions, Abdull discovered that slavery wasn't allowed at Narfell, and Abdull was rejoiced: the thayans had marked his arm with red tattoos, showing that he was property of Thay, and he was fearing that someone would make him a slave to.
    Been very grateful to the cleric, Abdull heard her last advice: to learn Common, and them he started building his new life: first he would learn Common to communicate with others, and them he would try to find a job and make some money, and finally buying a house and leaving a peaceful life.
