Character History
Drogo “Little fox” Ashworth hails from the small port of Linsham, A tight knit community of Halflings and Humans. His parents owned an Inn near the docks. As a small child Drogo always loved to hear the sailor's stories of the greater world. He listened to tales of Elves and Dwarves and battles with Orcs. Romances between princes and princesses from far away lands. But stories of treasures lost and found and adventure where his favorites.

As the child grew older he found his talent of story telling. His stories that began simply quickly turned grandiose, at one point Drogo himself before age 12 had slain 50 Orcs, 300 Goblins and at least 1 dragon, or at least that is what he claimed. These Fictions got Drogo into trouble a few times, while stories of Goblin raids are one thing, stories of bedroom conquests are another.

Drogo's parents Milo and Cora loved their son greatly and while fond of most of his stories. They knew Drogo was not destined to be a barkeep, his life was meant for something more. They where worried that he would want to become one of those dirty wandering adventurers. Going from town to town looking for work, never sleeping in their own bed. Never settling down just down the road. And marrying a respectable Halfing woman. Like that nice girl Violet, you know, the Miller's daughter. Isn't she nice? And pretty too!

So they began to save silver coins and even the occasional gold piece for when Drogo wanted to own an inn of his own because, who would become and adventurer when money and happiness where easily found comfortably at home or in the company of other Halflings.

One evening a trade caravan stopped in their town, they carried the most intriguing items from the far corners of Elara. Elven made cloth, Dwarven metalwork and Gnomish clockwork trinkets all amazed the villagers. It also was home to a Bard, Fredrick Marcus Goldstar. The Human was quite the talented Lutist. When the stage was set up and trade finished Fredrick Marcus Goldstar began to play. Quietly at first, when he gained the attention of the trade square and other villagers where rushing to see what was going on he began to sing as well. His was the song of life, the song of the world. And Drogo was standing front and center when he played. Drogo had never heard such an amazing story before. Then and there he decided that he would become a bard one way or another.

He told his parents later that night. At first they where against it. Knowing that they may never see Drogo again. He and his parents argued over this for almost an hour when they heard a knock at the door. It was Fredrick Marcus Goldstar, he had come to offer an apprenticeship to Drogo. Fredrick Marcus Goldstar saw the passion in Drogo's eyes when he played for the village. Fredrick Marcus Goldstar told Milo and Cora that he would protect their child until they arrived at the bard's college in the city of Ash. His parents agreed at length knowing their child would be protected and able to follow his dream, even if it didn't involved that nice girl from down the street or a nice place for them to retire to. Traveling with Fredrick Marcus Goldstar was enlightening to say the least. Drogo thought he was going to learn to play the Mandolin, drums or flute however he instead learned how to listen. To be unheard. He learned the value of saying one thing yet meaning another. Drogo spent 6 years at the bards college in the city of Ash. He greatly enjoyed every moment of it. He did learn to play the lute, though he was not very good at it. Drogo developed a fair singing voice as well. He was a fine student, developing an interest in the arcane studies.
