Kreev B. Earbender

Kreev is a Bard from the settlement of refugees that fled the Empire of Eskarya. Kreev has a penchant for story telling and creation; often using such creations in his performance.

Backstory
After training at the College of Wyrdsingers in Jal'Hinto the college. Kreev made his way to Elysia to preach their message and perform to a wider audience. Through the following years he built a reputation in the city for his talents with his trope. As momentum around his skill as a bard grew he was approached by a merchant hoping to compete with Bound Accuracy and persuaded Kreev to mention his superior product in his next performance. With the extra coins, Kreev happily accepted. Soon more organisations emptied their coin purses to have their own propaganda productions. To which; again, Kreev accepted.

When approached by members of the Eskaryain War Council was asked to put on one of his special performances Kreev seemingly had a sudden and unexplained change of heart. Egged on by his close friend Dazomar, whom believed it to be an excellent prank, Kreev decided to put on a different and incredibly damning rendition of the performance. Ultimately insulting the Paladins of Zitus and the war effort in Sameria.

Kreev was forced to flee at the intermission or loose his life. Leaving his acting trope and home destroyed. Essentially blacklisted, rumours spread and many other methods inacted by the scorned employer to destroy his reputation. Finding some refuge in Badagbett, a familiar face found him, Dazomar, and encourage him to join him North where he could rebuild his reputation, and find his way again. On the way they met Pickle, the kobold, to which both took a shine too, as the kobold helped the two get passed the mountain wall and into the North.

Tales Composed

 * Of Wolf & Wail; A rather exaggerated tale used to rally the refugees on Chronicle Coast before it became Freehearth, to demonstrate they have nothing to fear when working together. The tale depicted various members of the refugee camp performing supreme acts of bravery and heroism in a land new to them; to end the curse of a Morgan and reunited her with her love in death.


 * The Unfamiliar Family; A tale used to impress a band of Carnival folk in the hopes of securing an act amongst them before they performed before Elderfall and the queen (with success). The Tale depicts a soldier coming home to a family he doesn't recognise only to be revealed he is in fact a Doppelganger whom has assumed the mantle of the dead soldier so that their daughter may still grow up with her parent.


 * Emerald & Lime; A rather heavy-handed and unsubtle sonnet used to suck up to Elderfalls residents and the Queen at Bazaars Carnival. The tale depicts a lost bear cub, using a magic Emerald & Lime Elderfall shield to trick/escape evils of the forest and make his way home to the safety of Elderfall and the Queen herself.


 * Its pronounced Faybarge; A humorous tale designed to relieve some tension after the party raided a Tomb, which backfired contributing to a Paladin of Dagda falling into a spiral of self doubt and faith, ultimately leading him to completely abandon his way of life and walk off into the forest. The tale depicted a Dwarf getting revenge on a pompous Elf by creating a beautiful and handcrafted Fraberge Egg and entrapping the Elf to purchase it, knowing it would insult and moon its owner every time he would move near it.


 * The Kings Chalise; A tale used to demonstrate to Pickle that there is always two sides to every story, argument or even Tenant. The tale tells of a Foreign King with hopeful intentions of a Peace Treaty with the Thri-Kreen, but through rash decisions and rushed actions, leads to a misunderstanding in which both parties are doomed to death and fighting as they fail to try and understand each other.
