Background:
When asked about it, Fernus’s birth and upbringing has always raised a lot of eyebrows. He is a halfling, grown up in the distant city of Janderhoff: a city populated mainly by dwarves. Raised by his foster father Artram Stonecall, a craftsman of many things, but with a fondness for intricate jewelry, who took him in his home when a hooded stranger came to the Gates of Janderhoff seeking shelter for the night. The stranger had Fernus strapped to his back in a carrying sack, at first the stranger started off in Terran, which some dwarves spoke, but then took off in Dwarven. He explained to Artram that the child he carried with him was very gifted, although he was still a baby, he was certain of it. He told Artram as well that Fernus was born in the village of Sirathu, north-west of Janderhoff, but his parents had died during a goblin raid and he needed to be safe somewhere close to his roots. This didn’t make sense to Artram but he agreed to take the boy in. Fernus did learn a lot of things from his foster father, cave dwelling, prospecting and crafting beautiful designs for jewelry. Although Fernus loved his father and was intrigued by the delicate touch and crafting of him, his real joy lay in the reading of the books inside the Janderhoff library and house of records, especially the myths, stories and magic lore kept there. Through his studies there he kept coming back to the books and pages about the genies. Every time he flipped through those pages he had the feeling he knew more about them than the books stated, a glimpse of recognition as though he knew what was in his blood. He enjoyed his life in Janderhoff but still felt out of place, certainly considering he was the only halfling in the dwarven city. Artram noticed his foster son’s trouble and decided to let him go on his next trade journey to Baslwief, a town to the west with which Janderhoff traded now and then and also where he had colleagues to talk and boast to. On the road to Baslwief and in the town itself, Fernus took note of local myths and stories, writing them down in a few journals he kept with him at all times. At Baslwief his passion for arcane lore was fueled even more as the small library contained many things not mentioned in Janderhoff. At Baslwief he asked his foster father if he could leave with a few of the other halflings that stayed there, going with a trade caravan to the west to Ilsurian. Artram knew he couldn’t keep him contained in Janderhoff and agreed. Fernus travelled along the towns to the west, telling tales to children and adults alike for a living before the next caravan further west came along. Collecting stories and lore along the way, Fernus has now just arrived in Sandpoint, staying at the Rusty Dragon Inn, entertaining the evening crowds with his spinning of the tales he got used to.
Personality:
Fernus is really curious and becomes awfully excited when he finds new books of arcane knowledge and tales. He is very cheerful and social and asks people alot of questions, hoping to get a good story or two out of their experiences. His outgoing personality makes him prone to follow a group of adventurers in hopes of finding more good stories, sometimes this wasn’t such a good idea. Appearance:
He is a lean halfling (33lbs) standing at 3 ft 1inch, he is quite average. He has straight blond hair and his eyes always seem to twinkle, he can usually be found playing his tin whistle when he is not telling stories. New Year's bonus: +1 HP |
