Ebonfeather grew up in a small Tengu settlement in the forest nearby the town of Pinehollow.
Generally shunned and mistreated by the humans and other races around the Tengu had little trade and subsisted mainly through huting and gathering, supplemented with minor farming. The group would also occasionally form raiding parties when times were tough, preying on outlying farms and road travelers.
Ebonfeather was a skilled hunter and bandit, one of the best of the settlement and was well respected within the settlement. During one of his many outings, Ebonfeather came upon a boar digging at the base of a tree.
The curious behavior caused Ebonfeather to stop and watch, eventually witnessing the boar unearthing a patch of truffles. Realizing that the valuable mushrooms could be a great boon to the livlihood of the community, Ebonfeather set out to befriend the animal. After time, they became great friends and partners. The aid Mushroom gave Ebonfeather in both their hunting and truffle gathering was invaluable.
That all ended recently. While Ebonfeather was out hunting, tragedy befell the community. He returned to find the entire settlement burned and all of the residents killed. The tracks of orcs were everywhere, making it obvious what happened. Filled with rage, Ebonfeather set off for the town of Pinehollow to see if he can raise awareness and find people to join in an effort to get revenge on the orcs who destroyed his home.
