—————— Prologue ——————
Our story begins far off in the northern mountains of Nosgrath. Where one of the three major dwarven strongholds lie. These mountains may not be the richest in the lands, but what these dwarves lack in wealth, they make up in spirit. The heroine of this tale is a young dwarf named ProudBeard. ProudBeard lives in the slums of the city with his mother and father who were huge gamblers. They bid everything the family owns just for a chance at something greater, but they weren't very good at it. So much so, they made a bet with a local Elven cartel and lost, and they couldn't pay what they owed. The cartel snuck into the mountains, and set fire to the slums districts all over the Mountian. ProudBeard was only a child at this time, he had watched his parents being slaughtered, yet his life was spaired. The Elven cartel leader, who was a magical bard, had taken in the young dwarf as an apprentice of sorts. The elf took ProudBeard out of Nosgrath and raised him as his own. Many decades have passed and ProudBeard is now 123 years old, which is still quite young for a dwarf. He had become a bard just like his Elven master, and works with the cartel. Now the tale of ProudBeard the bard, truly begins…

A RANGER IS BORN
First off, this story was not written by me. I am posting it for a friend of mine, with permission of course. This took place in a Dungeons & Dragons game over 30 years ago. It is a about how one of the player characters got his start; Crentar Bronn. He is a human ranger of 1st level in this story. This is important to note, because it'll bring more perspective as you read the story. I was the DM (Dungeon Master) for this game. At the time, we were still in high school, which of course, gives away our age. lol I decided to have each character do it solo before they actually met up with each other. A teaser so-to-speak. Eventually, there was five player characters in the game. My friend who ran Crentar Bronn remembers this whole solo adventure to this very day in great detail. A few years after the game is when he wrote this story. We were recently reminiscing about 'old times' and he told me that he actually wrote it out as a story. He was then able to find it on an old hard drive & then sent it to me. I was very surprised at how good this is & how great his memory was from that adventure. I'm flattered that he was so inspired by it, that he turned it into a story! I hope you enjoy this early adventure of Crentar Bronn as much as we did. Perhaps, with enough comments & likes, he'll be inspired to write more chapters. THX
