Avalong (a-v-o-long)

Bard Avalong Suger- O'Connor (a.k.a. Ava)

Avalong is one of Fregers most well-known bards. She is half Vunar half-human and was born in the town of Petershire in 903 YSC. During her early years, she was always in the local tavern because she was obsessed with the bards working there. She begged her mother to give her a lute but she wanted her to work in the tailoring business. After she was old enough to leave the home and pursue her own dreams she went out to the city of Sacoma. There she visited Musneir college. She asked if she could apply but she was turned down because of her class and gender. This made her angry but she didn't want to go back and be a tailor so, she went out to seek Fortune in the colonies. She moved to the town of Chriskovic which was a trading hub now after the revolution. There she went to a small bards guild and joined. It was here where she was taught how to play the Lute, Drums, and even the flute. She also learned how to sing and write songs. Her teachers started seeing some talent with her and she rose in the ranks faster than some of the bards taught there for years. When she mastered the instruments she started playing at the taverns in the city and quickly became a tourist must-see in Chriskovic. One day while she was playing in the tavern she found a mercenary by the name of Blade. They both started seeing each other because and figured out they had a lot in common. They eventually married and had 4 kids. This caused her to stay home for the most part only doing shows when one of her friends could watch them or if Blade wasn't working as well. She died in 1007 YSC because of an illness that she got because she visited the Vud elven cities in Iddesseoa.

She went over to Sacoma's College for Bards but they didn't accept women and people from the working class. So she got a job there and saved up to go to the capital over in the colonies.
