[QUOTE="HolyMan, post: 5431875, member: 84167"] [sblock=Background] Jiles life has been one long road leading from what seemed one mishap to the next. If he wasn't running from Thay operatives trying to put another notion in their scarab, he was talking his way out of joining the Moonstars. [COLOR=Cyan] "Ah how long since the Year of the Unstrung harp?"[/COLOR] he asks himself. A lot longer than he cared to remember and more years adding to the little gray starting to show in his hair. The first roads led him from Cormyr to the Dalelands. He was what?
