Cratol was at the monastery as long as he can remember. The elders had said they found him outside their door one summer morning crying out abandoned. They have no idea who left him or why. They do not know if they are coming back for him. But after ten years he figured they were not coming back for him or they have forgotten about him.
It was during this year his tenth of life that the Orcs attacked the monastery. After the fighting died out and the silence was all he had heard for many hours Cratol climbed out of the hidey hole he was in. The monks were about but a lot fewer were there and the buildings suffered a lot of damage. The elders told of the horde that was pushed aside that day and how they would probably leave them alone for some time due to the numbers that were killed. Cratol helped drag the bodies of the orcs and fallen monks out and away from the monastery wall where the monks were given a proper funeral pyre and the orcs dumped off a nearby cliff to rot at the bottom. Cratol found the one monk who had taken him under his wing and was training him in the ways of the Ki laying in a back part of a store building minus his head. Cratol swore to himself that day he would complete his training and then seek revenge for his mentors death.
Six more years passed and Cratol was proficient with the styles of fighting that he had worked on since the age of six. He was overheard one morning while attacking a large stuffed dummy of how he was going to kill the orcs and slay them all for what they had done. When questioned by the elders Cratol admitted that there was a dark spot in his heart where orcs were concerned. He would not or could not forgive them for what they had done six years earlier. The elders decided that Cratol should go out in the world and seek his own way. Their words were as thus. Young Cratol you have learned our ways but now with the hate blinding your eyes and clouding your thinking you should go forth into the word and learn to reopen your eyes and your mind. Once you have done this come back to us and tell us all that you have learned.
Cratol bowed to their superior knowledge and vowed that once he had fulfilled their wishes he would return. That night he packed his things. He spent extra time in the temple seeking to further understand what life had in store for him but received no answers. The next morning after a good break of his fast he bowed good bye to the elders and his friends and set upon the open road.
Later in life he found his family and learned more of his story. from his great uncle baron Cale. Baron Cale sighs, "I can understand your bitterness, and I am afraid I do not have good news in response to that last question. At least in regard to your mother's side of your family, I am the closest living relative you have left. Your grandparents and uncle died in the raid on Redcliffe, your mother Misha soon afterwards of wounds sustained in the retreat. As to your father and his kin, I do not know if they live or where they are, I have been unable to locate him as of yet. I know now his name is Aerendyl, but I can tell you little more than that he was part of a wandering band of elven troubadors. I am afraid there is doubt he even knows you exist. You have several first and second cousins, they'll be welcoming enough to you, but to be blunt I would not rely on them for much of importance."

"As to the matter of your abandonment, I was no less surprised to learn of your existence a little under a year ago. Before she died, Misha confessed to having you in secret and passing you on as a babe to the monastery. She begged me to find you, and so I did. I found the place you were raised easily enough, and learned of the name they gave you, but there the trail went cold, until I heard your name in connection to the events at Greenest.

"My younger brother, your grandfather Gells, was a proud man, too proud in many respects. I can tell you he would not have approved of your mother risking, much less having, a child with a mere bard. I do not know if he knew, and I do not know if he forced your mother to take the actions she did. I am uncertain if I wish to know, it is a terrible thing to feel disgust towards one's sibling. I would like to think that if he did know, he would have swallowed his pride and fulfilled his duty to you, but I cannot be sure."

"As to my niece, forced or not, I suspect she acted out of fear, both for herself and for you. I cannot fault her for that. But she should have known better, whatever my brother's views were, I would sooner hang myself than turn away one who shares my blood, and it was my decision then, as it is now. As humbled and fading as this family is, it is yours. For whatever it is worth, know that you are Cratol Stormcaller, born of a proud lineage, and for all that I am you will never be alone again."

Handy Haversack
This backpack has a central pouch and two side pouches, each of which is an extradimensional space. Each side pouch can hold up to 20 pounds of material, not exceeding a volume of 2 cubic feet. The large central pouch can hold up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. The backpack always weighs 5 pounds, regardless of its contents.
Placing an object in the haversack follows the normal rules for interacting with objects. Retrieving an item from the haversack requires you to use an action. When you reach into the haversack for a specific item, the item is always magically on top.
The haversack has a few limitations. If it is overloaded, or if a sharp object pierces it or tears it, the haversack ruptures and is destroyed. If the haversack is destroyed, its contents are lost forever, although an artifact always turns up again somewhere. If the haversack is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, and the haversack must be put right before it can be used again. If a breathing creature is placed within the haversack, the creature can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time it begins to suffocate.
Placing the haversack inside an extradimensional space created by a Bag of Holding, Portable Hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it and deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and cant be reopened.
