Darra Copperspoon

"“Bards don’t believe in goodbyes — we know that the roads we walk are winding, and we generally tend to come back to people and places we’ve known and been before, and often at just the right time.”"

A Bard's Life For Me
Ever since she was a little girl, Darra Copperspoon enjoyed listening to tales told by the sailors, travelers, and adventurers who passed through the halfling city of Syerscote. Though she and the bards she loved to listen to played a variety of musical instruments, it was the wonders of oral tradition that called to her. When she came of age to leave her family in Syerscote for a new life, Darra's first destination was undoubtedly the Bard's College of Triss. There, she studied under many of Alterra's most prestigious bards - but none as famed as the legendary storyteller Carter Penwick. After studying the meticulous craft of performance, music, and oral tradition, Darra left the College to forge a legacy of her own.

Using her suave bardic skills and a little bribery, Darra discovered an eccentric gnome by the name of Jon Rawlins and his expedition to find the lost dwarven stronghold of Kelech-Môr. With high hopes of becoming a bard extraordinaire, Darra agreed to join the team; the inspiring tale of the adventurer's expedition would surely yield a novel or two, and dozens of tavern stories.
