The Wanderer

Master of Slings and Knives - Soon to be Warrior

This companion hails from Battania she's trying to become a warrior; trying to make her own way in the world.

Companion Story

Originally a cow-herder, typically a boy's job in most villages because of the danger associated with being alone but she was good with a sling and good at scaring wolves away.

The boys of a neighboring village however would pester her. One even, the neighboring village chief's son, was especially pestilent. One day, he comes up behind 'the Wanderer' and tries to take her by force, but she had a knife.

Not knowing what to do with his body, she buried him deep in the hills, and told her parents all that had happened. Fearing bloodshed, they told her to leave; to find her own way in the world.

She's no warrior - not yet anyways. But she's good with a sling and knife. She can run fast and can bear hardship, standing her ground.

In Summary

"I was a shepherd. Normally the job is given to boys, but I always had a knack for bows and slings, which we use to keep the wolves away. The trouble with being a shepherd, though, is that there's always the chance of quarrels with the herders of the neighboring village over disputed pastures or missing sheep. Perhaps I was too good with a bow - I killed a neighbor. My parents were poor and could not afford the blood money, so I fled."
