Uncomfortable with her situation and not wanting to try to birth and raise a child with a man she was unsure of, Petty resolved to return home for a time. She stole away and went back to the village of her clan. Upon her return she found that the clan had turned in on itself. They grew fiercely protective of their own and made it increasingly clear they had no intention of seeing her or her child leave. They would find her a man who would take her and her bastard child in. As the time of the birth approached Petty had become increasingly weak and distraught at the thought of being trapped in the village for the rest of her life. This weakness took its toll on her and she died very shortly after giving birth.

Epanu

Epanu's Background

Epanu grew up in a small farming village in Ferrell that is home to Clan Bareafare. When Epanu’s mother Petrioria was young the men of the clan were all killed by a group of bandits while taking a large shipment of goods to market. For a number of years the women of the clan took up the work left by the men, including their production of wool and silk. After a time a distant relative to the clan learned of the village’s plight and offered to come and help. He had been something of an adventurer in his younger days and was quite wealthy.

When this distant uncle came, he brought his sons with him. Over time they settled in and the women of the village began arranging marriages between their daughters and the new young men. Not wanting to marry any of them Petrioria, or Petty, set out to find her own fortune as an adventurer. Over time she met a young halfing sorcerer named Amiru. Through many adventures and much time together they became quite close. Petty and Amiru were very happy together for a time; until Amiru’s darker side became more evident. While this created something of a rift between them if likely would have been healed in time. Unfortunately Petty found herself with child before they could resolve the issues they had between them.

Uncomfortable with her situation and not wanting to try to birth and raise a child with a man she was unsure of, Petty resolved to return home for a time. She stole away and went back to the village of her clan. Upon her return she found that the clan had turned in on itself. They grew fiercely protective of their own and made it increasingly clear they had no intention of seeing her or her child leave. They would find her a man who would take her and her bastard child in. As the time of the birth approached Petty had become increasingly weak and distraught at the thought of being trapped in the village for the rest of her life. This weakness took its toll on her and she died very shortly after giving birth.

Petty’s mother found herself left with the child that she had named Epanu. He was a healthy boy and seemed very bright from an early age. As he grew she found him intelligent but very withdrawn. While he obeyed her in all things and worked hard, he never seemed to thrive. As adulthood approached Epanu quietly sought out more information about his parents and his origins. Occasionally word got to his grandmother of his questions and she tried to persuade him that the past was best left buried with his mother.
