What I'd like is some Realms-specific info to back up the general background he had at creation.The condensed, original background: Aerlyn Galondel, Elven cleric of Kord. Raised by human barbarians for the first thirty, forty years of his life, then followed along with a traveling cleric of Kord, eventually becoming one himself. So, what would be some Realms-specific parallels for that generic background?I would just go out and buy the FRCS, but I don't have a spare $30-$40 at the moment. >.<Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
