Background:
Bruard Torbury was a devoted leader of his small flock in the remote village of Leond. About two years ago, he began to feel a stirring in his heart, a yearn for adventure and a need to see the world. He meditated on his thoughts, and communicated with Shinare, the goddess to whom he had devoted most of his life. She told him to follow his heart and to spread the word of her greatness beyond the fields of his small village. While he wandered Bruard helped the random traveler or villagers in need. There were the farmers that had an ankheg problem, the small village that was being overrun by undead from a nearby barrow, and the Halfling community that had a few of its members carried off by giant wasps. With these encounters Bruard increased his skills, and was emboldened to continue on his quest for adventure. As he wandered, Bruard spoke with travelers he met, and told them about the greatness of Shinare. During these conversations, he also listened to stories of great adventure, most of which seemed, to his ears, impossible. But one stood out. That was the story of the Caverns of Quasqueton, and an amazing treasure horde supposedly left there. This treasure lay under an abandoned keep to the north, and Bruard decided to follow this lead and head towards the colder climate. When he arrived at the lush valley near the caverns, he was greeted by friendly but nervous villagers. He seemed to arrive just in time, as a ragtag party of stout adventurers were about to assemble and venture into the caves. He decided to join the Halfling Till Sandybanks, the elf Yosef Travathas, and the intriguing half orc barbarian known simply as Jeloon. Little did he know the four of them would forge a bond that turned out to be as strong as any he had experienced to this day. |
