The story will take place along the forest's trails and in small villages of the land. Magic,adventure and fun are the order of the day,so if you wish to join us,put a description of your character here!!  So far the Roster includes, Myself as Shamrall the Small and Luciana as The Gypsy Seer,Gaia. to keep the story manageable I think that no more than five or so should be writing.

                 Human Made Short Horseman's Bow (Unstrung next to ten arrow quiver)
Mount:       When Needed Shamrall can use his ONE major magical accomplishment - He has fashioned a Rune of Power that is set
                  into his right bracer-with the proper coaxing he can call forth a fully geared and war-trained Wolf,named "Shayde"
                  Sometimes it works out the way he wants (Sometimes Not!) Most of the time,Shamrall walks!
History:      Shamrall does not remember much of his early life,he knows that he and his Mother traveled a lot and that they left
                  many towns in the dark of night. Long ago he recalled coming back into their Camp after hunting for game and
                  finding it ransacked,his Mother nowhere to be found. He was taken in and raised by an odd couple,a White Mage
                  and a Black Witch,Both tried to train him in their chosen arcane arts but he proved to be good at neither! He left
                  them and has been living on his own,supporting himself by odd jobs,gamboling and thievery. Spending much time
                  in village lock-ups and doing public works,thereby learning a little about many things. Shamrall has learned to read and
                  write in two languages- Man and Halfling and knows a smattering of several others.

Thank goodness for a slow day at work :D

Name: Birgitta Fairehaven
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: 23
Height: 5'
Weight: 130
Skills: Bard. Can fight but mostly self-defense. Has enough 'small magic' to handle small wounds and light a camp fire without needing to rub sticks together.
Clothing: Deep green bodice, layered skirts in shades of brown, split for riding. Ankle-length hooded cloak in durable charcoal-colored broadcloth. Mid-calf length riding boots, well broken in. Wears a light pocketed vest over the bodice for travel. Carries two small belt pouches and one large enough to hold a tube of quills.
Weapons: Carries a long utilitarian dagger that she can defend herself with adequately but views mainly as a tool. Can throw accurately but has no training in ranged weapons and carries no items specifically for throwing (unless she slipped a pretty rock into her belt pouch at the last stream)
Mount: small saddle-trained sorrel mare
History: Birgitta was the daughter of a retainer to a small country Lord. She grew up wrestling and running the woods with the lord's sons until both she and they grew too old to enjoy such games, as well as sitting in on the occasional more interesting lesson with their tutor. Her parents were grateful that their Lord didn't mind the presence of the small girl, nor did he grudge her a chance to learn if she would. When she reached an appropriate age, she was taken in as apprentice to the Lord's bard. She learned from him the basic skills of a bard – harp playing, song writing, confidentiality, and trustworthiness among other things – as well as enough base magic to care for herself. He also helped her put a bit of polish on the defensive skills she had acquired in her younger wrestling-tomboy days.

Once she reached a marriageable age it became clear that, while she was loved, there was little reason for her to remain at home. None of the men of her age and class were interested in such a outspoken lass with so few typical female accomplishments, and there really wasn't a need for two bards in the Lord's court. Receiving with gratitude the gift of a small harp from her Master and a well-broken mare from the Lord, she kissed her parents and set out to find a place of her own. She's been looking ever since.

ROFL..yea, i just noticed  you are the only  male  !  LOL  !     ( me  thinks  you chased away the  other males  sir  ;D ;)  ).  Hmmm  ..a  title...hmm...we could  call it   "   Shamrall and  his  harem    ".  Just kidding ! ;D ;D
     Lets  see   we have  magic  and  we have  swords.    we are also  ones  seeeking adventure.
         we are all different, or  misfits   in our  own worlds  so  to  speak.
