This is the story of the life and times of Toborg written by the creator of Toborg.
Toborg was born in a small city outside of the great castle of Blackmoor. He was the product a one night sexual flair between a livestock handler of the royal guard stables and a handmaid of the queen. When the man found out that he was to be a father, he tried to kill the handmaid to stop the conception. He was caught before he could finish by the guards on duty and killed on the spot. They had assumed that he was trying to assault a handmaid to gain access to the queen's private rooms. When his mother was found to be with child, she was let go (thrown out of the castle) for fear of trying to work her way up the chain of power. She found outside help from the rogues guild to shelter her and care for her...in exchange for inside information on the workings of the castle. Time for my mother went by quick and peaceful til my birth. I was born early in the morning without incident. My mother on the other hand died during the delivery. The guild didn't need or want an infant in the guild so they dropped me off in the market place of the city of Blackmoor, with enough food for three days. A young elven woman found me and took me home to her husband, which agreed to take me in as his own (not knowing I was a halfling, not a human such as he, nor an elf, as his wife was. My adopted father was a city guard and my adopted mother stayed at home all day and took care of me. She dabbed into wizardry when she was alone at home, so from time to time, I saw her do things that made my father mad when he found out. He kept telling her that she was not to show that she knew magic in or around the town, not even at home. It was to dangerous, if [they] found out, there would be trouble for them, and they would be banished for sure (I learned years later why, but I don't want to jump ahead, so be patient). Growing up on the streets of Blackmoor, was at first boring, until I learned who to and not to hang around. My "parents" tried to keep me from the seedier side of town, but I seemed to be drawn to it like a magnet to steel. I wanted to learn how to get around without anyone seeing me. I also wanted to learn more about this magic thing that my "mother" did when my "father" wasn't around (I wanted to know what was so wrong with it that it made my father so fearful of it).
