Let me know what you think:Twenty-three years ago, a child was born to the heiress of a prestigious noble family in southwestern Sembia. Unfortunately, it was a half-orc child, and, needless to say, the resident nobles were not of orcish extraction. So, in short order, the family's half-orc stable-slave was executed, and the tearful heiress shipped off to a Lathanderite convent. But what of the child? Well, as none of the men-folk could bring themselves to kill the pitiable wretch, they had a servant, under cover of night, shuttle the infant to the steps of the nearest thing resembling a charitable institution: a temple of Deneir.The resident priests took the boy in, and raised him as best they could, through a combination of awkward paternalism and pedantic instruction in the tenets of Oghma's Scribe, as well as all manner of history and lore. Raised within the temple walls, the boy, whom the clerics named Carfal, came to consider them his family, and developed a concomitant devotion to doing the work of Deneir.In fulfilling their charge to preserve as much information as possible, the temple’s scribes regularly record the news carried by itinerant bards and merchants. Some months ago, rumors began arriving of strange activity in the Dalelands, seemingly in relation to a mysterious sigil. Even more unnerving was the fact that, once a reliable description of this symbol was obtained, it was soon realized that the temple’s own adopted son bore such a mark! A flurry of research followed, whereupon the sigil’s draconic origin was uncovered. Seeing that further investigation was clearly in order, Carfal volunteered to travel to the Dales himself to get to the root of the matter. It is, literally, quite personal to him…</blockquote>
