Freeman Mongrelborn: Difference between revisions

<blockquote>"On the plantation, he was simply called a mongrel. One might see at one glance the bulk of the [[orc]] in his frame, at another, the gleam of the [[elf]] in his keen eyes, the alacrity of the [[halfling]] in his surprisingly delicate hands, the staunchness of the [[dwarf]] in the set of his jaw, the decidedly [[goblinoid]] sharpness of his teeth – perhaps even something [[celestial]] or [[demonic]] in the pale, lichen-green hue of his skin. When, one blessed day, he slew his masters and set fire to their plantation, he left his slave name in the flames, sardonically choosing as his nom de guerre the slur by which he was so often referred."

   

After escaping the sugar plantations, Mongrelborn slew a slave-ship captain, freed its captives, and set upon a years-long campaign against the slave merchants of the Skaugan archipelago. Because slavery was illegal or at least frowned upon by most of the region’s powers, he largely avoided censure by the governments of the Main, though he made many enemies among those who directly and indirectly profited from the slave trade.
