Robin Morgan
The war ended, but you took no joy in it. In fact, you'd been using that stress to distract you from the personal loss the fighting had delivered you. The Morgan clan now stands shattered and, as far as you know, you are the only surviving member. Staying in Birchwood was too painful, so you took to the road without really knowing where you'd end up.One night, as you made camp along the Western Road, a halfling girl approached you. She seemed tired and was obviously grateful when you offered to share the site with her. Although you had never met Thessalie before, she seemed to know something of you. As the two of you talked, a weight seemed to lift from your shoulders. The respect this stranger had for you felt good, but the company felt better.
Once Thessalie told you she was headed south in search of her family, you volunteered to accompany her. Even if your family couldn't be saved, perhaps someone else's could. Besides, it would give you something to do besides spend all your money on spirits.
A couple of days after passing through Floridale, you decide to rest for a few days at the "Lonely Huntsman", a road-side inn in farming country.

After the war concluded, you moved along with your unit to the barracks at Mistverge before being demobilized and discharged. Since then you've been traveling slowly back northward. Although you assume that you will eventually make it back to Amuani, you feel no particular rush to get there. You have no idea how your family and clan will react to your return - the disapproval of elves can sometimes lead to decades if not centuries of censure.One night, you stop for rest at the "Lonely Huntsman", a small road-side inn a few days south of Floridale. Although you typically make camp, the luxury of a soft bed seemed too nice to pass up. As you sit in the common room, sipping a glass of spring wine, you spy a familiar face.
During one heated battle many months ago, an orc burst through the skirmish line just in front of you. His sudden appearance had startled you, and in a moment of lost concentration, the complicated spell you had prepared blew up in your face. Although the blast crippled you, the orc had been more than singed. The little halfling who approaches you the almost the moment you`ve sat down had healed your wounds quicker than you'd have thought possible. You definitely owe her a debt of gratitude.

After the loss of your clan and family, grief consumed you. Eventually, though, that pain was turned to anger. You had a burning desire to exterminate every orc you could find. When war came between the men and orcs you found a perfect opportunity. Although you had no desire to officially join the armies, the distraction afforded you many opportunities to catch your quarry unaware. You develop a deep understanding of orc tactics, thoughts, and weaknesses.When the war ended, you began to make your way south. Troops you spoke with told you that the orcs were heading through the mountains toward the Emberwood. Although you've never been there, the elves there may need your help. No other children should be forced to witness the carnage you've seen.
Several days on Hedrimond's Western Road bring you outside an inn called the "Lonely Huntsman".
Thessalie Groundswallow
Several weeks ago, you left Alethra and the other healers behind and set off down the Western Road in search of your family. Initially, the excitement and anticipation of seeing your kin helped carry you down the road, but soon you began to realize how big the Kingdom of Hedrimond is and how short your halfling legs are. The travel was slow both due to your small size and to the enormous amount of supplies you carried with you. (Better to be prepared than sorry, after all.) Although you saw wagons and riders on the road from time to time, few did more than wave before you lost sight of them.One night, as you approached Floridale, you spied a campfire in the distance. The site was tended by a tall, muscular woman with bright red hair and piercing green eyes. Although you had never met, you knew this must be the Captain Morgan you'd heard stories about during the war. She was said to be both brave and strong - a capable leader from a family of leaders. She invited you to share her campsite and, though seemingly embarrassed by your knowledge of her, was a gracious host.
When you told Captain Morgan that you were attempting to find your family, she surprised you by insisting that she accompany you. The two of you traveled south through Floridale and, a few days later decided to rest at the "Lonely Huntsman", a road-side inn in farming country.
