Several years past, a child was born to a small aristocratic family of
Svirfnebli from Lower Cragstone. They were each growing older and
decided to have an heir for their hard fought for fortunes. This child
was Capathok, a Sparkstone through and through. After all, his
parents were quite the talented magi and they had earned their money
through elemental shaping and other various weavings, which paid
quite well.

As the young boy grew, so did his parents fortunes. They began living
more an exceedingly more extravagant lifestyle, day by day. The finest
enchanted stonework, a jewel-encrusted set of matching pipes, and
plenty of finely woven surface-dweller garb. On occasion they
received varying payments, usually in fine gems and easily traded
goods but one day it was some exquisite pipeweed, supposedly of
freshly harvested halfling fare.

The pipeweed was indeed quite fine and his parents enjoyed it for
some time but as the days passed, their obsession with it grew. In the
end, they squandered their entire fortune for the stuff that ended up
being laced with some heavily narcotic-like substance, possibly even
enchanted itself. The purveyor of the stuff drained the good fortunes
from the Sparkstone's leaving his parents as destitute, broken, and
eventually to a cell. As it was, Capathok was far too young to partake
but did witness much of these goings on.
