background:
. . Jera has spent the last 5 years or so roaming the river kingdoms with a group of kids - thugs really - making sure that those who made a living off the rivers shared some of their successes with the 'locals'. He hardly felt he was one of the group, and he certainly never felt that he was where he wanted to be - but what else was he supposed to do? When he was young, he lived with his parents in the plains of the central River Lands, near the town of Artume, but he hasn't been back since he started getting his fits. Y'see - while gnomes are inquisitive and generally accepting to the strange - few had the patience for the chaos that seemed to follow Jera around. He just had an unnatural luck about him, it seemed (they didn't even know about the voices). His father once told him that he was blessed with the touch of the first world; that the trappings of this world did not fit around him – “some blessing,” Jera often thought. When asked why he was cursed in such a way, his farther would start to mumble something about his grandfather, and his dealings with the woodlings, then trail off into incoherent stuttering before changing the subject.
. . So that brings us to today. While 'visiting' with the crew of a flatboat that had conveniently beached on the nearby riverbank to restow some cargo that had come loose, Jera came across a notice from the north about Brevoy searching for people familiar with the northern riverlands for an exploration trip. He showed it to the rest of the boys and said they ought to go make a fortune off the northerners. The boys were none too interested in trekking into that strange place, where strange spirits held sway over the lowly mortals who would venture there. Over the next few days, Jera couldn’t get the notice out of his head, and one night, he decided he'd had enough scabbing about on the rivers, gathered up some traveling gear from the group's stash, as well as a small suit of armor that had fallen off a cart('s driver) a week or so ago, and started heading north.
appearance:
Light brown hair, green-grey eyes, and skin that looks to have spend most it's life in the sun marks this gnome as one from the open lands, as opposed to his forest or tunnel dwelling counterparts. He walks as one who is among friends, even when alone - yet can often be seen glancing quickly about his surroundings.
