Not only was I charged with the responsibility of continuing the family business, but also with the draconic legacy running through my veins. > >In the beginning, I was confused by the decision of my beloved [Amphibibae](Elsie%20Rowen.md) when she chose to be far away from my loving arms, followed by the engagement of my dear friend [Fane](Fane.md). I was perplexed….unable even to whisper sweet nothings to my Illum. > >For the first time, my heart felt empty...empty of feeling and desires. All I had left were my unfinished goals and dreams. Dreams of reuniting with my mother and bringing her back with me, where she would be happy until the end of her days. And then, to finally become the bard I had always wanted to be. But even now, as the Hero of Corvanis, my goals remained out of reach. There were many loose ends in my way. > >I made my first move by building a new network of merchants and goons, whose main job was to distribute various types of drugs and bombs (crafted by my own hand) to any commoner, noble, or adventurer seeking them in Corvanis. At the same time, I erased any competition into oblivion, until the fame of my name reached the masses. > >The next step was to “plant my seed” by traveling to the main cities of Corvanis, accompanied by my new boy band, filled with the finest elven singers. This “concert tour” featured songs representing ideas of freedom, the use of magic, and stories of a stoic group of broken bonds overcoming their adversities throughout their journey across Corvanis. > >My plan was always to give a little bit of myself to every place I went, and getting into the hearts of the crowds, encouraging their fertility, their unity, and sometimes, a little disruption through the songs. While also promoting trust in the colors, with a special emphasis on Green. > >And in the final stop of our journey, we visited [The Pale City](The%20Pale%20City.md), where we would cripple any future attempt they might make to rise to power again. Only when the great Hightower Guild takes its rightful place will I finally settle down.
