Role

Chapter 1

Kardir was just a small child when their village was raided by a group of
bandits. They were taken from their home and their family, and brought to the
bandits' camp, deep in the forest.

Kardir was terrified and confused, and they cried out for their parents, but
no one answered. The bandits saw the child as nothing more than a burden and a
mouth to feed, and they were ready to leave Kardir behind to die. But one of
the bandits, a woman named Jolie, took pity on the child and decided to raise
them as her own.

Jolie was kind to Kardir, and over the years, she taught them how to survive
in the forest and how to fight. She also taught them about the bandits' code
of honor: to always look out for each other, to never betray a comrade, and to
never show fear in the face of danger.

Kardir grew up among the bandits, and they became skilled in the art of combat
and stealth. They learned to use a variety of weapons, but they had a
particular talent for longer weapons, staves and polearms. As they grew older,
they became a valuable member of the group, and they participated in many
raids and skirmishes.

But even as they embraced the life of a bandit, Kardir never forgot their
past. They often dreamt of their home village and their family, and they
wondered what had become of them. They also had a nagging feeling that there
must be more to life than just plundering and fighting.
