"I was born in the streets of Gung Gol, the city in south from here, a place where jungle meets plains for the first time on the route through which diamonds and slaves stream from the jungle to the northern great cities.
My childhood was in the streets - although I didn't have real parents I had many places to sleep at. I had friends whose parents let me sleep in their huts. Times were peaceful even in the streets. The Gung Gol of my childhood was feared because of our gods and rich as the Earth Mother herself.
But then a war in the jungle brought trade into a stop and in a few years almost everyone lost their way, except the rich and the priests. I had to struggle for my bread but gods favored me because my mind was sharp and I was the first everywhere. A craftmaster, Travis TyrchandĂȘ, adopted me and taught me how to weave, cut cloth, dye it and craft leather. He also was a great mind and had a collection of crafts that were far beyond anything created in any other city. These crafts included many mysterious and fascinating masterpieces and artifacts and they had many metal pieces in them, which made them something more.
One of them had the power to make man fly and who would have been a better person to test this artifact than me? Because I had no parents my name was Fhan, a spirit of the heavens, bird, which also meant a woman in Gung Gol. And I was not afraid, my heart is strong and I trust my only father, Travis, who taught me so much.
So... I flew! Like a bird! Like a spirit of heavens.
People saw me in the sky of Gung Gol and nobles all wanted me as their entertainer and soon I was in a noble court practising acrobatics and hidden arts. But in a few months a dragon cultist came into the court and made me fall in love with his stories about Dragons and his cult. My ambition streamed into my blood and I joined the dragon cult.
I came here. I didn't tell everything, but that would have been too long a story. I didn't tell how I manage to escape from slave drivers, I didn't tell about how I managed in the streets when there was food shortage. But I thought that wouldn't have interested you."
