His father was the general for the high council, his mother a sword fighting instructor for the knight academy, his brother a war hero that died in battle before Elrikk was born and his sister became the best archer known to the wood elves by the age of 60.

Jack was given to an orphanage as a baby after his mother died from disease when he was not even a year old. He survived the hell hole orphanage until he was 12 when a nice couple that came by many times decided he was the son they wanted. Joseph and Mary were nice enough, they treated him with kindness and gave him a good home. What Jack found out was that they were thieves posing as a normal couple, now with a child as a cover. Eventually, they trained him in their trade. At first for small jobs, which eventually turned into bigger ones. They always made sure never to put him at too much risk. One evening they woke him up in the middle of the night and told him to run. The law had come for them. They sacrificed themselves so he could get away. Jack now all alone, has been surviving as a petty thief, being careful not to draw the attention of the local thieves guild or the law.
Elber can trace his ancestry all the way back to the early years of his tribe, but he was determined to see more of the world than his forefathers had. He joined a mercenary company set to journey far abroad to earn glory and everything else. Before he could lay eyes on the Great Sea, his company was decimated by an unforeseen catastrophe in the wilderness, and he was one of few survivors who made it to safety.

Boo was born to a tribe of orphans in a pit of the Underdark called Kaz. He and the thousand other orphans were led by a fey called the Gorgal. The Gorgal raised the children in her ways, to forgo all other gods, as she is the one true benevolent being. When they reached of age, one by one, the orphans were sent to the surface to truly experience the surface world. When Boo reached 20, it was finally his turn, and he crawled to the surface with glee. His first encounter was a lone elderly hunter, Balchette, hunting a dire deer. Realizing how pale and starved Boo looked, he took him in. That night, the dire deer returned and gored Balchette. Boo used Balchette's whip to fight the deer, and killed it. Now, Boo roams the land wearing the dire deer's head.
Landrae continues her ongoing tour with new venues added whenever she can gather a crowd. After that incident with her former patron, she has managed to keep herself away from any dubious rumours, usually by outrunning them. Though she is still searching the land for the tale that will turn her fortunes around, her habit of making mocking ditties keeps her popular with the populace, and out of favour with the ostentatious. This singer is no stranger to a scuffle as her rapier compliments her wit, and she is always ready to please the crowd with her bow.
