Norray Fallen is much like any other Halfing that grows up Dunshire, he likes to party, prank, and have fun, and much like most Halflings he... tends to get sticky fingers every now and then, and for this, he’s got himself in trouble with the sheriff and found himself in a dungeon cell plenty of times, earning himself quite a reputation as a thief, forcing him to improve his skills. Norray has had sticky fingers even at the sweet young age of 20, it wasn’t a habit he always had, it was one taught and placed on him by his older siblings, who took to robbing drunken revelers and distracted audiences. Norrays mother and father were fine with the thieving, but they weren’t fine with Norray and his constant need to prank random strangers, upon this he still had his urges to pickpocket and steal, eventually leading to him getting caught... A travelling caravan from the Empire of Man by looks was making its way through the halfling village, now again, every halfling loves to mess around and do jokes and pranks, especially on newcomers... this group of travelers was the wrong group, as it turned out to be a Nobleman and his guardsmen, Norray had a bright idea of a bucket full of water dropping from a door on top of the traveler as they enter the tavern. This was perhaps a horrible idea at the time, especially when a infamously cruel nobleman was the one hit with the prank, and.. subsequently knocked unconscious by the bucket. The Guards of the Nobleman were furious and out for blood, arresting some of the tavern workers along with a few bystanders who busted into laughter at the prank. Norray had noticed what he had done the moment the nobleman touched that door handle and went to hide in a neighboring burrow so he could watch... he knew nothing good was about to happen, but.. he couldn't help but laugh at what was about to happen too. After the dust settled five halflings were arrested, Norray was brought forth afterwords by the Sheriff, one last time to the village elders. Norray tried hard and pleaded with them, apologizing.. he didn't want it to turn this way, it just did. The others knew this wasn't going to end well, they wanted to stay out of all these politics, and they didn't want another one of theirs locked away or worse.. dead, so they made a bargain with Norray saying: "The Noble family is going to be after you now Norray, Dunshire is peaceful for a reason and some of the Tavern workers ratted you out in fear of their own life. In best interest for the town, the thing for you to do is run.. run away and avoid getting caught. Also Norray... please don't ever come back. If you have any care for yourself or your family, don’t you ever come back here." Broken.. and now exiled, Norray jumped from being a fun loving prankster, to a vagabond and common thief. He joined with a bandit group far, far away from the Cloud Temple, learning quick about their way of life, many of the bandits reminding him of the stories of Assassins and brigands that his family used to tell him about when he was little, never did he think he was actually going to use a weapon... this was damaging his morals and his ideas of living peacefully.. no longer could he be as upbeat and fun as he’d used to be, now.. he was forced to learn quick on how to use a blade, how to survive, how to kill without thinking. Norray eventually found a good time to slip away from the bandits, knowing the group was getting to much attention and would be hunted soon by the Empire of Man, the last caravan raid was way to risky. Eventually, Norray left the bandits behind, and he tried to escape the lifestyle he was forced into by slipping onto a ship traveling to the new lands of Arcas... hopefully being able to start anew.
