Bartok

The Bard

Bartok was a fairly unremarkable man. His parents had some means and paid for him to attend the Hasselhoff College of the Arts where he trained to be a bard. He was enthusiastic, but not particularly skilled, and didn't stand out among his fellow students. It wasn't until that fateful day when he saw firsthand the devastation of the meteor, and wrote about it, that he became a name among some of the most famous bards to ever live. 

Five years later, he would return to Drakkenheim. There were growing rumors of nightmarish creatures roaming in the The Haze. He felt didn't really deserve the fame he had gotten. He didn't do anything special, he was just in the right place at the right time. But now, he could prove he was worthy of his accolades. He would venture into the Haze and study these new creatures himself. It was a quest that would claim his life.

His sacrifice brought us the only scientific research to come out of the Haze. His unfinished field notes were published posthumously by a colleague as "Flora and Fauna of the Haze".

Bartok was an unremarkable bard until the Day of the Meteor. As luck would have it, he was in a village near Drakkenheim serenading one of the locals when he spotted a bright light in the sky. Soon that light was brighter than the sun. With a massive boom, it slammed into the once great city of Drakkenheim. That day, Bartok the Bard became a part of history.
