Hello my fellow Andorans! While there already exists a thread for our folk to rally and prepare, I realized while reading it that I did not know these names and faces.
I am Elar Stravan, a simple son of the earth, and lover of freedom. My father was a miner, as was my father's father, and his father before him. I myself seek a somewhat grander fortune.
When I was but a boy, my father and his fellow workers accidentally broke through a wall into a long abandoned and buried crypt. I still remember the strange men and women who flocked to our small community upon the discovery of this crypt, seeking to plunder and loot its contents. Most of thos ewho entered were never seen again, but eventually two men came out claiming to have fought great beast and carrying sacks -- SACKS!!! -- of gold and other treasure.
It was then that I saw my calling. I reckoned that if I could find other crypts and dungeons buried beneath the ground, I could stake my claim on them, and make a fortune selling plunder rights to these adventurers. That is why I joined the Pathfinder Society, to seek out dungeons and sell the rights to the treasures contained within, and to gain access to a network of those foolhardy enough to crawl in a dark hole full of undead and other nastiness.
I came to join the Andoran League several years later. I had begun working the mines myself, seeking to earn enough money to buy a sword and some armor, but found myself constnatly short on funds. the local baron taxed our mines so much that we could barely keep food on the table, let alone save for our future. That was how the Andoran fellow foudn us, and he convinced us to strike against the barons. He brought us arms, and taught us to lay traps within the mines. We fought long and hard against the barons, and eventually we won. I discoverd then that there was no greater gift one could give than freedom, and my loyalty has been to Andoran ever since.
Who are you? What drove you to join the Society and the League?
