Udeh was sent to live in a home for young orphans, but he escaped and traveled to the city. He worked hard to overcome his learning disadvantages, eventually being accepted into the temple where he belonged.
He found he had a calling to help others and that he was especially good at calming tempers. He never found he could be satisfied in a city and yearned to travel. He beseeched the church of Truma to allow him to travel to the surface to preach to those in need. They let him go, and he has been traveling for years.

Niveen was born in Tarsakh, 86 years ago. When she was a baby, her mother died giving birth to her. Her father, a blacksmith, raised her, and though they were not wealthy, they were happy. Niveen grew up in a beautiful kingdom on the edge of the great desert of Grabisco. When she was 19, her father was captured by hobgoblins and she set out to find him.
She found him, but he had been tortured and was near death. She brought her father back to Tarsakh, but he soon succumbed to his wounds. Niveen’s heart was broken, but she had nowhere to go. She set out and wandered until, by chance, she came upon a temple to Lathander. She prayed for guidance, and the priest accepted her into the temple to help her with the loss of her father. She became a priestess of Lathander, and has been since then.

Born in Rydon (Grabisco Kingdom)
Backstory:
Mharrok (whose actual name is Mharrok ich Daththalor ickor Zulvok Iksi Grizkrul ich Yulow ickor Hrilnesk ickor Balast ickor Farrusch) was born to a wealthy Troglodyte family. He loved the sea growing up. He loved reading about the great pirates of the south seas. For his 18th birthday, his parents gave him a sailing ship fitted out with everything he would need to become a great pirate captain.
Mharrok went to the Pirate’s Republic to learn the ways of becoming a pirate. He sailed the southern seas for a few years. He was never quite good enough to be accepted with the greatest pirates. Mharrok eventually left for Tellanor to build himself a merchant empire. He quickly became the richest and most powerful merchant in Tellanor.
Mharrok started to miss the thrill of the open seas. He sold all of his possessions in Tellanor and purchased a ship of his own. He returned to the pirate’s republic and studied to become a pirate. He then set out to the north sea to create his own shipping empire and become the greatest pirate captain in all the land.

When he is serious, his sneer reveals a missing tooth. “Ya’all just gimme the loot and the broad walkin’ free, or y’all gots ta give up yer lives,” he says.
