Definitely a good idea, Ferrix. The adventure is structured to avoid that problem as well, but it can only help if all four of you can tie the characters in as well.

Hi guys, I'm definitely up for incorporating others into a backstory. I haven't written anything solid on how my character has ended up in Mistledale yet (he's a Shield Dwarf from the North), I think I've written like three backgrounds for this char and scrapped them, talk about writer's block.
So if anyone else is coming from the North (Silverymoon, Citadel Adbar, etc), then perhaps we could either know each other, or be traveling together to Mistledale.
I'm open to anything.

Hmm. Thramnë is a native of Mistledale, but has been away for a few years, and is only just returning. He could be returning from practically anywhere in western Faerun. It would not be unusual for lone travelers to band together for protection when traveling along the Black Road, in particular if they spurn Zhent protection along the way.
They probably start their journey at Llork, a large town on the western end of the Black Road, situated along the valley of the River Grayflow. Leaving Llork, which is overtly controlled by the Zhents, travelers ascend and pass through the Graypeak Mountains by using the Dawn Pass, heading east. Skirting the Lonely Moor, they arrive at the great wastes of Anauroch, and after long weeks, leave the deserts to cross the northern tip of the Desertsmouth Mountains. They quickly descend to the headwaters of the River Tesh, and the narrow valley that contains the only town in Daggerdale, Dagger Falls. Here they might hear of trouble in Mistledale. Thramnë would certainly have only more reason to head home, but might persuade people of proven character to accompany him to relieve the people of his home Dale.
The way to Mistledale would take them from Dagger Falls, across rugged hills of shrubs and thickets to Shadowdale. From the current home of the Sage, a lesser road of greater danger leads along the northern banks of the River Ashaba through a mighty arm of the forest of Cormanthor, ancient home of elves. The road leaves the forest and arrives from the northwest into Ashabenford, the largest settlement of Mistledale, surrounded on all but the west by ancient forests.

Sparrowhawk (changing the character name here), originally from Mistledale, ended up in Silverymoon, and made the journey to Llork, likely down through the High Forest, then down the Delimbiyr River valley. Anyone likely to have joined him down on that leg of the trip, please let me know. I agree, all four of them should meet up at the latest in Llork, again, with low profiles, Sparrowhawk included.
Let me know, so we can discuss the particulars.
(I'm almost done with my character sheet, probably by tomorrow)

Kelwan is from Citadel Adbar originally. He has spent some time traveling and is going to end up in Loudwater (after coming from Waterdeep), then Llork. So perhaps Loudwater would be a good place to meet, as joining up there would give some sense of security going through a Zhentish town, then the desert.
In Llork, Kelwan is trying to keep hidden the fact that he is an acolyte of a good member of the dwarven pantheon, so my original plan was for him to join a merchant caravan as a guard to cross Anauroch (he can pass for a guard because he's good with a battleaxe and wears armor and a shield). Once crossed, he was going to desert the caravan (presumably heading somewhere he doesn't really want to go), and head to the Dalelands.
If that sounds good, let me know. I'm open to anything else too if you have something else in mind
