History:
As he awoke, Gilbie tried to shake the pain from his head. He didn’t remember much. Only some beast of a human shouting something profane about Gilbie’s ancestors. Then it was lights out after that brute struck him with a chair. Thinking to himself, Gilbie pondered. “Perhaps it was that joke about his lineage? Or maybe it was the comment about his choice in mates? No matter, it’s time for lunch according to my stomach. So, where to go? Wait, where am I?” Gilbie looked around and became more confused than he was already. “Hmm…..I remember my name, and I remember last night at the…….oh what was that tavern’s name? But I don’t seem to remember where in the world I am.” Going through his pockets, Gilbie is relieved to find a few coins. “Perhaps enough to buy me lunch, after lunch, dinner, and a place to sleep tonight.”, he muttered under his breath. Suddenly, from above him, Gilbie heard, “May Mirania help you in your time of need.” He was then hit on the head by some more coins. Gilbie then thought, “Ahh, fortune has smiled upon me today.” Realizing that he hadn’t even gotten off of the ground, he stood and brushed himself off. Upon looking up, Gilbie then realized why he had been hit on the head with coins. He stood at the foot of a shrine to some god. Finally talking out loud Gilbie said, “Well, I guess somebody is looking out for me. Hmmm….. what did that stranger say? Mirania? Well, Miss Mirania, thank you.” And with that he was off.
Not knowing where to go, Gilbie wandered through the town hoping to find out where he was, who he was, and what he could possibly do here. Eventually his wandering took him to the Mud Hen inn. The only reason he even entered the stench-riddled place was because some drunken fool pulled him in there. After the man bought him a few ales, Gilbie realized that this was the owner. And what’s worse, he worked for him. Something about brewing wine in the back room. Gilbie thought, “Well at least that’s settled. He made wine at this tavern and probably lived here too. But this was not the place where he was making fun of that brute.” As the evening played on, Gilbie was happy to find out the he had a knack for comedy and had been doing a stand up routine over at the only other tavern in this town of Fualosh. That tavern was known as the Whimpering Wench. The owner of the Mud Hen was a plump fellow by them name of Judar Shoud. He seemed like a nice enough fellow especially when he was drunk and buying the ales.
Eventually Gilbie tired of the lack of pay for his services at the Mud Hen and the ever-growing hostile crowds at the Whimpering Wench. He had saved a bit of coin and decided that he would head off to a larger town. Perhaps something large and close to water would provide some more moneymaking opportunities. It had been 4 months since he woke at the foot of the shrine to Mirania and he could only figure out a few things. He knew his name; Gilbie Hilltopper, he knew that he had a knack for comedy and that he could make a fair wine. So with this knowledge he set out for the riches that were surely due him at some other town.
Along the way, Gilbie stopped in a small village named Illiack. There he found a temple to Mirania. Figuring that he could use a little help, he went inside. Depositing some coin into the church’s moneybox, he sighed. “Here’s to hoping that you can some how help me in spreading cheer. Well, and maybe a little of helping me earn a good living.” After saying that under his breath, Gilbie turned to leave. At that moment, a chuckle arose from one of the church pews. “Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that one before.” Gilbie turned around and asked, “What? Who’s there.” In a jovial manner, a human jumped up from his laying position and spoke. “Why it is I. The name is Theferris. I am the caretaker, janitor, cook, entertainer, and head priest of this here temple.” Gilbie realized that this man was smiling ear to ear the entire time that he was introducing himself. Gilbie introduced himself and answered all of Theferris’ questions regarding his strange request of Mirania. Upon hearing that Gilbie could make wine and enjoyed comedy, Theferris asked him if he would stay on for a bit and learn more about the goddess of music, wine, humor, and tricks. Not having any other place to be, Gilbie accepted and started down the road to becoming one of Mirania’s followers.
Now almost a year after meeting Theferris, Gilbie has decided that it is his calling to go out into the world and spread cheer and good tidings. Armed with only a holy symbol and 4 bottles of his own wine, Gilbie set out to do the world good.
