Role

Chapter 1

Jaane was born in Hamsah to his wood elven father and human mother. Even
though their home was there they rarely spent time within the city. Most days
he was out hunting for food and furs. They would then trade them for gold to
buy what they couldn't make themselves. The only time their family ever
seemed to have issues is when they couldn't sell enough furs. Always relying
on their income to keep them going. As he got older he hated to see his
parents struggle so against their wishes he would join pirating vessels to
help them.

They were always upset with him when he went out to sea. Most
times being gone for six months at a time. Everything was always easier
though when he came back with a decent share of gold. Unknown to him the
Imperials were the reason his parents were always hort on gold. His father
had apparently been an indentured servant that was paying off his debt. They
had no intention of ever freeing him as they asked more and more money each
week hoping he couldn't afford it. Everytime he failed to pay more time was
added on.

Eventually they had enough gold to pay off his debt completely.
They waited until Jaane was out to see before bringing the gold to the
Empire. It was only about 30 gold but it was more than they have ever had at
a single time. The Imperials were outraged knowing they had to uphold their
deal.

They quickly thought of a plan and had an imperial shadow rob them as
they were filling out the paperwork. Accusing them of trickery once they
noticed the gold was gone. They were shackled and brought to their dungeons
to await a trial.

When Jaane came home he found out about his parents trial
only to get their to find out they had been executed. The worst of it was he
found it was over only 30 gold. Momentary madness overwhelmed him. He snuck
into the imperial palace stealing everything he could. He brought it to the
town of balator and spread it to the people. The first raid was exactly 30
gold. The second 60 gold. The third 120 gold. He kept going and going until
he felt he couldn't find any more gold. Eventually rumors started spreading
of his rebellion against the Empire. He had become a folk hero to the people
