Hoostatreeay Adventurers[edit]
Three sample Hoostatreeay adventurers are described below.
Ranny is a Hoostatreeay Cleric. He lives in a small town in Athas, he lives among dragonborn, and dislikes humans. He fights any evil he can find in this small town, but it is hard to stay occupied in such a remote place. He thinks about leaving to find adventure, but doesn't want to abandon his dragonborn friends.
Misc is a Hoostatreeay Rogue. She prefers a nomadic lifestyle, mostly because if she stays in one city too long, she gets on their most wanted list. She sometimes regrets stealing, and has recently found a group of adventurers and joined them, to pay back to the people.
Follower is a Hoostatreeay Barbarian. His clan lives in the woods in the middle of Breland, he likes fighting side by side with his friends, but they often pick on him cause he's so small. He tries to ignore them, but he often feels like running away, but he has decided that, even though they pick on him, they are still his friends, and he won't abandon them.
