History: Tearfire was born in Kendermore in the few years before
the Chaos War, and if having been born into such a chaotic was wasn't
bad enough, by the time that he was but seven years old, the Great
Dragon Malystryx unleashed her might upon the
poor residents of Kendermore. As the kender soon took flight from
their homeland, many of them managed to live through theefforts
of Hero of the Lance, Riverwind of Que-Shu. His parents however,
didn't live. His mother and father killed in the battle with the
ogres, Tearfire was taken by relatives on the long road to Hylo.
It was in Hylo that he lived mainly, but as he turned seventeen
in the autumn of 14sc, he felt a strange calling to him. He wondered
if this was that wanderlust that his other kender friends experience,
but he knew that he was different in certain ways from other kender.
Soon enough though, he took off from Hylo and ventured south, onto
the isle of Southern Ergoth. He was able to sneak onto a ship and soon enough found himself on
the sea. After a slight argument with the captain and a bluffed
blackmail, Tearfire soon enough found himself on that icy island.
Soon enough, he wondered what in Krynn he was doing, traveling
through a rugged landscape such as Frost's newfound realm.
Knowing that he may as well try and get out of the frigid lands,
he decided upon traveling south, in a hurry. That didn't save him
however, unused to the temperatures and not that strong in the first
place, he fell to the cold and battering winds.
He found himself to be alive however, days later it seemed as he
was in a small cave with a Kagonesti bundled in furs by his side.
Still weak from the cold, Tear didn't have the chance to speak
much, but even if he did, he wasn't too sure on communications though.
He was carried from the glacial area soon enough by the wilf elf
and found himself within the woodlands of Southern Ergoth. The
name of the wilder elf he was Laughing Gale, this he was able to
discern through speaking rough goblin with him. As time went on
in the forestlands of Ergoth, he learned the language of the Kagonesti and was able to join
with the wild elves there. He learned the ways of living in the
wild and became a ranger under Laughing Gale's tutelage and was
the only kender ranger on the whole isle. They've been friends
since then and still are, even with the threat of Frost attacking
the forestland and the Solamnics and wild elves preparing to battle him.
Before Tearfire came to Southern Ergoth and the green lands of the
Kagonesti, he had another name obviously. He was given the name
'Tearfire' by the wild elves for what had happened to him, the shedding
of tears in the raging fires of Malystryx.
'Starglow' was of his own imagination, he decided that he starting
a new life, like the birth of a star and so now goes by this name.
Tearfire has traveled through the lands of Abanasinia and through
Solamnia a bit, but never has he returned to Hylo or any other large
areas of kender. He feels that most of them are too different from
him and thus has been staying mostly with the Kagonesti throughout
his life. Currently he lives in the wilds of the woods with the
elves that saved his life and seemed to give it a new meaning.
Game Statistics: Tearfire has access to the school of geomancy and sphere of
animism, these he learned from the Kagonesti Shamans on Southern
Ergoth. Tearfire also gains a trump bonus to all Pe actions that
involve sight or hearing. As a kender ranger he gets a trump bonus to
gain surprise while outdoors, but different from the yeoman role,
he never gets a trump bonus for avoiding surprise.
He isn't subject to the -3 penalty to being indoors, but when underground the penalty takes effect.
Tearfire keeps with him a black wolf named Leifien, this noble animal
has been with him for the last few years and is ever loyal to him
and those that he calls friend.

Appearance: Tearfire is a slender kender who's tall for his race.
Standing at four feet and weighing slightly over seventy-five pounds, one might
mistake him for a short elf. Tear's iris are colored a strange
red and he has golden-brown hair, which hangs down to the tips of his
pointed ears as he doesn't wear it in a topknot. He has burn scars
along his back and some on his chest, but they don't seem to be
too noticeable when in the winter as he bundles up a little more.
