Being the eldest of his 3 brothers and 2 sisters, he had made it his duty to help his father supply the family with food, clothing and shelter. He has shown great wisdom in ensuring the family has grown enough and has saved enough for them to prosper more than the average farmer. Things had been going well, until The Giving, 403. While Devik, and two of his brothers were celebrating in the market square, his home had been attacked by a band of orcs. Upon their return, their farm had been burned to the ground, and his family lay dead along with the body of an orc or two. Anger, sadness, along with a dozen other emotions filled his brothers and him. Gathering the simple weapons they could muster, they aim to set off after the orcs.

When the Korenson brothers came to town demanding a hunt form for goblins, she opted to join in on the search.
Jeffer Glittereye – Gnome male
Jeffer just traveled to Blackwood Springs from Glitterhome, a gnome city to the southeast. He is a connoisseur of fine wines and has heard that Blackwood Springs has some of the best. His small stature hides his sinewy strength, but his eyes cannot hide the wit and curiosity that seems to have gotten him in some trouble in the past that shows in the scar on his left cheek. News of an goblin hunt has landed on his ear, and it has drawn him like a moth to a flame.
Tenzor Stormtusk – Half-orc male
Tenzor came to Blackwood Springs to earn a living. He has done odd jobs around the town that no one else would take. Using his great strength, he has done much labor that many in town could not. Some have tried to take advantage of him, but came to realize that he is not as gullible or as dull as others of his race have proven to be. He longs to earn more respect from those he has worked hard for. When a call to hunt down a goblin raiding party rang through the streets of Blackwood Springs, he answered the call, much to the surprise of the locals.
Fezgar the Fuddled – Half-Elf male
Fezgar was found on the edge of Blackwood Springs, unconscious and bleeding, but was alive due to his incredible stamina. Once revived and healed, Fezgar couldn’t remember his own name and severe damage had been done to his intellect. However, his charm and wisdom had not been altered by the blows to his head and he earned his name from a local tavern dweller who had a beautiful if not altogether smart and due to the fact that he often forgets what he says or does. Often frustrated with his lack of memory, he wanders town and often helps others to ease his mind. When hearing of helping the kind farmers, he has come to help.

When the cry for the slaying of the goblins came ringing through the town, she answered the call.
Avergore Flintstock – Dwarf male
Defying the warnings from fellow dwarves, Avergore came to Blackwood Springs to make a life out of killing gnolls. Little did he know that dwarves were not allowed in the militia. Instead of going back to the hills and admitting his error, Avergore remained in Blackwood Springs as a bouncer, laborer, and official mead drinker to keep him afloat. He is rather charismatic for a dwarf and local dwarves come to him for advice when they have problems dealing with humans. When goblinss were heard of slaying a local farmer, he gathered his gear and headed to wet his appetite.
Coris Korenson – Human male
Youngest son in the Korenson family, Coris is the diplomatic one. Although he may not be as physically fit as his brothers since he has gotten out of many chores, he definitely used his time to learn the ways of dealing with others, especially the ladies. When seeing the carnage wrought on his family, Coris’ was barely able to keep his brothers from heading out in the wild alone and gave them the insight to get help from the village.

During one bad moment in a dark alley, she had out-brawled a would be mugger, who now resides in the keep’s dungeons after waking from his coma.
Y’verik Amberfire – Human male
Always quiet, Y’verik has gone unnoticed for much of his life. He worked for his father on his farm with his 2 older brothers and 2 sisters. He worked hard on the farm, but when he had spare time, he would peruse many journals and books of distant lands and adventures. Longing to see the world and its wonders and tales of magic, he spent more and more of his days hanging around taverns listening to tales of adventure and writing them down himself. He would engage in conversations with many and he could retell their tales by heart without flaw. When he heard of the goblin attack, he thought of the great opportunity to start his own adventure.
Talia Sparrowwind – Halfling female
A sharp tongue, and brilliant eyes are Talia’s trademarks. She spends much of her time in taverns telling tales she has heard from other patrons as she waits tables during what she calls her “off-time.” Often, she is barbed and poked by her clientele, but knowing her profession, she takes it in stride and fires back with barbs that don’t offend, but get their point across. She wants to travel and explore and start her own tales, but she is waiting for the moment to take that step. The goblin attack seems to have been a sign.
