Sounds like a good idea. I was planning on doing some work on the background tonight

Okay, so you havea halfling Mageblade. Do you really want to take back the halfling lands or was that a joke?

I was serious

I want to have a driven goal.. something to focus on. Granted it would be a long range plan, but a plan none the less. It's also against type.

That's fine, I just wasn't sure as many comments were made in jest. So, why does he want to do this? Is it driven by blood? Was he royality or something like that?

My thought is this.. yes he is indeed Royalty, however that is not his motivation. Rock sees the halflings as a sundered race who squandered the paradise they lived in. His whole life he has been chided for being a halfling, and the manorisms of the few surviving halflings tend to lend people the impression that halflings are foolish and irresponsible. Rock however is neither of these things. He lived a rough life in Caladonian society, and while his nobility is in his blood, his true strength is his character.

Rock wanted to become a great champion, but at an early age noticed that he had some abilities no one had seen demonstrated by a halfling since before the flight from paradise. Rock was the 2nd son, but the appearance of his magical abilities and his focus with his sword has earned him a reputation. The more serious minded in the society recognize the reemergence of the mageblade skill as a sign that they have been forgiven for the destruction, and that Rock or his descendent will be the person to lead them home.

Rock however does not care for the messianic outlook and instead is focussed on changing the worlds, most importantly the Caladonian view on the halflings. They are often overlooked but he stands to ensure that they earn the same respect the other races have. If he can eventually contribute to the resurrection of a coherent Halfling society in thier ancient homeland then he will go to the afterlife fulfilled.
