Background

In the heart of the Dragonborn enclave of Drakestone, Frostbite was born into a family renowned for their artistic woodworking. His father, a master carver, and his mother, a skilled painter, nurtured his talent from a young age. By the age of nine, Frostbite's hands could transform wood into intricate masterpieces, earning him admiration within his community.

Sixteen years ago, a traveling carnival set up camp in the nearby Wood of Sharp Teeth. The carnival, known for its dazzling displays of artistry and magic, captivated Frostbite's imagination. Desperate to witness the wonders within, but unable to afford the entry fee, his frustration boiled over. In a fit of rage, he forced his way into the carnival. Surprisingly, the carnival-goers welcomed him, and Frostbite spent the day marveling at the performances and learning from the artists.

However, as he left the carnival, a strange sensation washed over him. His hands, once so deft and skilled, felt clumsy and uncoordinated. His talent for woodworking vanished, leaving him devastated. This loss, coupled with his uncontrollable anger, led to his exile from Drakestone. Frostbite wandered the wilderness, taking on jobs as a guide, his rage often causing conflicts with those he led.

Despite his struggles, Frostbite found solace in the company of animals. His bond with the creatures of the wild became his refuge, a rare source of peace in his turbulent life. Recently, he realized that to truly heal, he must confront his past. Determined to find the carnival that had visited sixteen years ago, Frostbite learned it returns every eight years to a single forested area.

With renewed purpose, Frostbite journeyed to Waterdeep, the bustling city where he hoped to reconnect with society and gather information about the carnival's next appearance. His quest is not just to regain his lost skill but to find redemption and a place where he truly belongs.

Frostbite stands tall and imposing, his silver scales shimmering like moonlight on a clear night. His eyes, a piercing icy blue, reflect a lifetime of hardship and resilience.

Dressed in rugged, practical clothing made from animal hides and sturdy fabrics, Frostbite blends seamlessly into the wilderness. His attire is adorned with various trinkets and charms, each one a memento from his travels and encounters with the natural world. A thick, fur-lined cloak drapes over his broad shoulders, providing warmth during cold nights and camouflage in the dense forests.

In his hands, Frostbite wields a formidable club, carved from the heartwood of an ancient oak. The club is not just a weapon but a symbol of his connection to the forest. Intricate carvings of animals and nature scenes cover its surface, a testament to his lost artistic skill. Despite his rough exterior, there is a gentleness in the way he handles the club, a reminder of the craftsman he once was.

Frostbite's presence commands respect and caution. His movements are deliberate and silent, like a predator stalking its prey. Yet, there is a softness in his interactions with animals, a rare glimpse of the compassionate soul beneath the hardened exterior. As a wilderness guide, Frostbite's knowledge of the terrain is unparalleled, and his ability to navigate the most treacherous paths makes him an invaluable ally to those who seek his guidance.

In the bustling city of Waterdeep, Frostbite's silver scales and imposing figure draw curious glances, but it is his quiet determination and the club in his hands that tell the true story of a dragonborn seeking redemption and a place to belong.
