History from Kalvin

Here is some of Kalvins history. You party members have heard him mention these stories in passing.

Kalvin met Johnus, a human trader, years ago while he was escorting a food train to Fallcrest . Defeating all types of kobalds along the way impressed Johnus so much that he promised to give Kalvin a treasure map showing the location of a very sought after magical helmet named Chronepsis , said to be created for Bahamut himself. When they arrived to Johnus's home, it had been broken into and ram shacked. Along with several personal items the map was taken. Kalvin has only a mental picture of a map with a upside down symbol of Bahamut on it to look for.

Kalvin never got to play with the other kids in the summer. It was a time of training and solitude, but when he was allowed out his favorite game was (TAMARA). He excelled at this game. And bloodied many of his friends in playing it. The rules of TAMARA are as follows :The child who has the ball (or stick, or balled up shirt, or whatever object is used) is "it" and therefore the "Innocent". The Innocent has only his speed and 1 person (defender) on his side. The defenders job is to fight off everyone trying to catch the Innocent. He can use a small shield, the TAMARA, and his fists to defend the Innocent. The rest of the kids (the goblins) chase the "Innocent" down until he is tackled (usually in a dog pile fashion). The caught innocent then tosses the object away where the other goblins gather around it and wait to see who has the guts to pick it up and start running. Rumor has it that the name of this game comes from a shield that was lost during the Bloodspear war. It was said to be taken by an albino Goblin captain with only 1 eye who swore that he would live forever.

Kalvins favorite song while growing was the tale of Vendar and his sword Lendys.
All the bards of the vale know this song and sing of a battle lost. Where evil triumphed and good was almost lost from the realm. But Vendar would not accepting this fate and stood his ground. He held forth his fiery sword and turned the dragon away as if he himself was a god. The battle was not lost, but there was much pain. Vendar was hurt and he left the valley is search for hope and took his holy sword with him. There is a darkness now. Some say that there will be one who will reclaim the sword and bring it back to be the defender once again.
