Klox

What Klox lacks in stature, he makes up for in spunk. After being rejected from his birth warren, he wandered the by-ways and lonely roads of the northern kingdom. He stole food to fill his aching belly. He pilfered clothing to keep his bones from shivering. He fought over scraps and defended himself from cruel judgement as best he could.

He didn't expect to stay in Dride for long. Already the townsfolk leered at him and sicced their dogs on him... until three young children came to his defense. From that day onward, he didn't have to fight to survive. Once he and his gang discovered a lost owlbear cub near where they played, his life changed forever. A summer of unbridled joy took a turn when their secret friend ran away, and in pursuing her, Klox and his friends' friendship was forever changed - they were scattered to the winds.

For a while after the fateful visit to the Witchlight Carnival, he stayed in town. The call of the open roads beckoned as it always had. He heeded that siren's song for years, eventually reuniting with his tall friend Nro; he rediscovered a sense of kinship aboard the rivecraft the goliath served on.

It's been sixteen years since Klox and his friends trespassed into the carnival... sixteen years of carrying a heavy burden that he must find a way to rid himself of.
