Finnan Pebbles grew up in the Kingdom of Curonia. He never knew his parents because they abandoned him at an orphanage there when he was very young. Finnan enjoyed reading any books that he was lucky enough to find. He left the orphanage at age 18, but he was homeless, as were many of his acquaintances. The other halflings he hung around would steal food and any other things to survive, but Finnan thought it was evil and never participated in the stealing. One day, the other struggling halflings brought back a stolen crown that they had planned to get for a while. This could make them all very wealthy. But this was the last straw for Finnan, so he took the crown and threatened to tell the city guards what they had done. This made the other halflings angry, so they took the crown back, tied Finnan up, took him to a forest, and threw him into the rushing Baltas River. This sends him to the bay of Rentatus-Marna, and he wakes up lost and confused, trying to survive on his own.
I gaze at the colorful sight of the city, seeing many new things for the very first time. “Hello sir. I’ve come a long way to be here. Is there a place I can stay?” I say, with a kind and respectful tone. I dart my eyes left and right, thinking of my next request. “And I am also trying to earn some money. Do you know of any opportunities nearby?”
