Aubrin the Green
Aubrin is a retired adventurer with many stories to tell, and has settled into a comfortable life in Helgafel. She’s one of the hearts of the community, always ready with a sympathetic ear or strong drink to help those around her.
As a young child in the south lands, Aubrin (“Abby” to most) grew up on tales of heroism. She played at being a famed ranger, fighting evil beasts in the wilderness. Her parents hoped that, as the oldest child in the family, Aubrin would take over their small farm. Her young heart longed for adventure, though, and she and her father argued ferociously over her destiny. Ultimately, Aubrin was too excited to see the wider world and refused to give in to her father’s plans for her future; while their confrontation left her bitter for months, she never regretted leaving home at 16.
For years, the she honed her skills until she became a Ranger. One dark night on guard duty, an Orc caught her by surprise and unleashed a crossbow bolt. The bolt shattered into flinders against her soft pewter tankard, sparing Aubrin from a fatal blow. The tankard was dented but otherwise intact, and Aubrin took it all as a sign. True to her impulsive nature, she swore her loyalty to Kel that very night.
A sorrowful truth greeted Aubrin when she finally returned home: a deadly fever had swept the region, claiming Aubrin’s mother. Aubrin found her father drunk and belligerent. He blamed his child for the loss— if Aubrin had only stayed to help run the farm, so much work wouldn’t have fallen to her mother. Her death came from exhaustion, he insisted. Unable to dismiss her father’s accusations, Aubrin left quickly, never to return and fled north.
Aubrin’s carefree adventuring came to an end after crossing the Valrua Sea. Her caravan disturbed a nest of ankhegs, and though she dispatched two of the creatures, the third sprayed a gout of acid into her eyes, robbing her of vision. Blind and heavily wounded, she reached a nearby village by the name of Helgafel. With rest and time and the aid of the firbolg druid Gleha, her healing magic removed the facial scars, but only partially restored her vision.
Aubrin eventually decided that this, too, was a sign. She settled in Helgafel, using her magic and woodland insight to support the town. Now in her early thirties, the impulsive adventurer has grown into a community leader and infamous teller of tall tales, and many in Helgafel and across Frostgale Taiga owe her more than a few favors and cold drinks.
