[QUOTE="Jan van Leyden, post: 5647076, member: 20307"] I can give you my next one: 80 years ago, a group of former adventurers cam to the village of Fourburgh and showed the headmaster a writ of the baron allowing them to build a castle near this village. They did so and retired to said castle, without interacting much with the population and presenting some very aloof behaviour. One fine morning several years later a villager discovered a basket under the village lime, and in this basket lay a small baby wrapped in fine cloth. The headsman took the basket and walked to the castle to ask the inhabitants whether they knew something about this. He learned that the castles masters didn't want anything to do with the child but they gave him a bag of money to give the foster parents who would take care of it. This happened quite regularly over the next years, only the bag of money was henceforth found in the basket with the child. these children, they belonged to several different races, became to be known as Children of the Lime. Some ten years ago the appearance of children stopped. The then headsman walked to the castle to inquire after several months. But nobody answered his call. The castle was completely deserted. All PCs are, of course, Children of the Lime. The money given to their foster parents was sufficient for whatever education (class) was required. Once a year all Children of the Lime try to travel to Fourburgh for the Child-of-the-Lime day, which is held on the anniversary of the very first child found under Fourburghs village lime. This year, something special happened which sent a very special group of Children to a quest. [/QUOTE]
