Personal history

Freebie Shakerquick was born into a large and bustling family of Smallfolk—known for their nimbleness, cleverness, and resourcefulness—in a quiet village nestled within the rolling hills of the south, beyond the wall. From a young age, Freebie displayed an uncanny knack for getting out of tight situations, earning his nickname "Shakerquick" for his ability to shake off trouble and move quickly out of harm’s way. Despite his small stature, Freebie was always quick to stand up for himself and his kin, developing a reputation for being tough, resilient, and fiercely loyal.
As Freebie grew older, he became fascinated by the tales of adventurers who passed through his village—stories of battles fought, treasures won, and distant lands explored. The idea of a life filled with excitement and danger called to him, and he longed to make a name for himself beyond the confines of his small village.

Driven by a desire for adventure, Freebie left his home and began to wander the Dawn Lands, offering his services as a mercenary to those in need. His small size made him an excellent scout, and his quick reflexes and sharp mind allowed him to hold his own in combat. He quickly gained a reputation as a reliable and fearless warrior, albeit one who always made sure his services were fairly compensated. Freebie was pragmatic and understood the value of a coin, knowing that it was often the difference between life and death in the dangerous world of adventuring.
