My name is Ollivor Myles, and I am a halfling. The latter part of that statement is quite obvious. I am also , by birth, an Andoran.

Shh, don't tell.

You see, my grandfather was a former slave, fought for his freedom and all that. It was driven pretty hard in me, but he also regretted that so many of his brothers were in Cheliax. So, somewhere, I have cousins who have never tasted freedom.

Young and outraged I was, and made up my mind to slip into Cheliax and free all halflings everywhere. Of course, it didn't occur to me that if it were that easy, it'd be done by now. I was caught within a week, and put into chains myself.

Fortunately, before I could be sold on the block, I was liberated by folks who actually knew what they were doing, the Bellflower Network. When I explained how I got into this mess to the tiller who freed us, he was torn between surprise that I could be so foolish, and impressed that I was that gung ho. I didn't want to go back to Andoran I told him. I still wanted to help.

So he sent me to Kintargo of all places. One of the most open minded cities in Cheliax where most halflings could roam free. There, I began to perfect more subtle skills to aid in the cause of freedom, skills of Satire and Song. This devil cursed land had lost its sense of outrage, and was too scared of the thrice damned rulers to cling to decency. But music, entertainment? They hadn't close their heart to that.

And so while other bards in the city dreamed of the opera house, I composed ballads and speeches, and left notes about the place to mock the Cheliax royal family. Laughter is a powerful weapon against the fear tyranny would use.

Then suddenly, Paracount Barzillai Thrune was put in charge of the once safe city. You don't have to be a prophet to guess that things are about to get ugly. To my surprise though, Kintargo's people are actually brave enough to protest!

I wasn't born here, but I won't let such a noble place crumble without a fight, even if my truest weapons are words and notes.
I'll be going to that protest. I'll be encouraging others to do the right thing and throw off the yoke of oppression.

Liberty for halflings! Liberty for Kintargo!
