Background

Snagwarder was a member of a mining crew for years, his job to find trouble and sort it out. Sometimes that was dealing with traps (sabotage from rival mining crews), sometimes it was natural hazards, and sometimes it was foul creatures intent on eating the crew (which he would either try to kill or distract). Unfortunately, the crew died and Snagwarder was lucky to get out alive. Deciding on a change in career, he took up the adventuring life, and journeyed alongside an adventuring company to Arden Vul. Unfortunately, one by one, the others in the company also met an untimely fate. Still, three time’s the charm, right?

Siblings: last Snagwarder heard, there were about 5 left, but then he hasn't heard from Beastsnuffer, Horntooter, or Goatmender for a while, so who knows? Cornsniffer works on her farm far from most dangers, and Snagwarder sends her the odd coin when he can to help out, so stays in touch with his big sister, and he saw Candlekindler not too long before he set out. Wandering through the streets lighting the lamps is fairly safe, especially since he can always snuff the light out and hide in the shadows from most who would drunkenly try to harm him, so he's probably fine too.

Horntooter was off making herself famous over in Archontos the last Snagwarder heard of her, probably forgotten about her family by now. Goatmender lives remotely, was never one to hang around other people, but he does live out on the borderlands where things can get scary sometimes. Still, knows how to handle himself and his goats. And Beastsnuffer...well, last Snagwarder heard she was off chasing some other large prey that was causing havoc. Who knows what she's up to these days, or whether she ended up being a tasty snack for a dragon.
