Name: Akari
Half-elf bard
Mother Adkrona was an elf, father Aldon was human.
Adkrona's family- Father Hagluin Roceran is crafter, mother Leena is a druid, older brother Thellaserin is also a crafter.
Both my parents were bards that adventured with a heroic party 30 years ago. They fell in love and when they had me decided to retire from adventuring. They moved into a cozy hut in the forest near the small, pleasant village of Elmwood where we were all well liked. When asked why two adventurous bards decided to settle in the quiet village, my father said that he was getting too old to travel the way they did and that they wanted to give me a safe, peaceful childhood.
They never lost touch with their old adventuring buddies, who I considered my aunts and uncles and who would visit throughout the years. Besides them, I know nothing about my blood relatives as both my parents were orphans.
My parents often worked in the village inn, but had enough coin saved up that it was not so much for money, but for something to do. My mother would occasionally take trips to perform in other cities. Her trips were usually shorter than a few weeks, but lately they have seemed to get longer.
A few days ago my father died, seemingly from natural causes, and along with the villagers, many people I never met attended his funeral. Surprisingly, I didn’t see any of my “aunts” or “uncles”, which I planned to ask my mother why the next day. In particular I saw my mother talking with a cloaked woman who left after talking with my mom.
We spent the day celebrating my fathers life, feasting, drinking, telling stories.
Later that night my mom said she was tired and head back home early, but insisted that I celebrate in her stead, and to celebrate In the spirit of my father’s life. Which was vivacious and lively. I spent the rest of the night drinking and singing the stories my father taught me and passed out at the village inn where the celebration was held.
The next day, I head home only find our home ransacked, three dead bodies from the living room to the kitchen, a two dead bodies in the garden, and a small trail of blood that ends a few yards into the woods heading away from the village. Two of the three dead bodies in our house and one outside have kitchen knives in them and appear to have been killed by my mother. My mother is nowhere in sight.
One of the villagers tells me the thought they heard the cloaked woman from the funeral tell my mom that dad was murdered.
My goal is to find out what happened to my mother, if she is still alive, and why someone would murder my father.
My parents and their “heroic adventuring party” were assassins who helped kill the leader of an evil organization. My father’s cover was blown so he could no longer do active missions and he went into hiding in the village. Not sure if they were a part of an assassins guild or part of a government.
After my mother's disappearance, I traveled to visit some of my "aunts" and "uncles". But the ones who lived nearby are also dead, killed in the last few weeks. I only know of one left; the wizard Adril Hascabran, who lives in the city of Saerloon.
