Jolly Old Roger's page

52 years ago, Roger was born in Saringallow to a family of humble gardeners. Not content to a life among root vegetables and decorative shrubberies, at 17 years of age he decided to join to join the Queen's Navy (Carellia at the time) in the traditional way. That is to say, he drifted down the Conerica river and got really drunk in a Remesiana tavern till he was pressganged.

According to Roger, the life of a proper sailor didn't quite suit him, and so he turned to piracy, filled with ludicrous tales of adventure. At sea he adventured for twenty years, till eventually he had so many scorned lovers, rival pirates, ghost dragons, and much worse stick up their ass Hellknights chasing him that he felt it was easier to just lay low at home again. Of course, the fact that despite introducing himself as a pirate and telling constant tales there hasn't been a single bounty hunter or lawman come to Saringallow after him puts a lot of doubt as to Roger's outlandish claims.

Roger may have missed the goblin wars, but he's been a colorful fixture of Saringallow for the last fifteen years, always with another tall tale to tell the kiddies. His 'lavish pirate treasure' he brought home though is starting to run awful thin, so some folks are concerned about how he'll pay his tabs in the future. There's talk of repossessing his parrot, but Roger dismisses such notions, sure he's got another chest of gold buried somewhere around here.
