Treznak, born a slave to the dark elves. His family before him, enslaved for 2 generations. Treznak was the 3rd generation, and swore, he would not stay. A slave of the 3rd house had its perks. Slaves in lower houses were more of a menial labor force. Higher houses, slaves were also trained as shock troops.
Treznak was adept at stealth. Most rogue skills came naturally, with little training. Years of spying, Treznak found the higher houses were building to destroy his house. Treznak reported that although the war was building, he under reported their progress.
The time came and his house was grossly under prepared. Treznak tried to lead his family out. The war raged and he and his kin maneuvered the battle. Fireballs, lightning boats, web spells, flying everywhere. Then the area attack even Treznak's spying didn't reveal. A large explosion rocked the underground cavern, shaking the walls, and ground like an earthquake. Treznak and his family dodging falling rock, fire, and shock waves to the exit. Treznak made the tunnel and turned to see his family progress, when the side of the mountain collapsed down upon them.
Treznak turned, grief filled him, hatred, even fear. Everything was lost, his home, his family, but not..... his future. Treznak turned to the tunnels, taking a deep breath, he began to walk forward......
