You and others each have a connection to a mutual friend named Ispin Greenshield. Before retiring to the village of Vogler, Ispin Greenshield traveled across Ansalon as a teacher, trader, and adventurer. Along the way, he forged friendships with many people, and one of those special people was you.
Every path he crossed, he left friends in his wake. When asked about him, all who knew him would say:
• Ispin was a good-natured human adventurer from Solamnia.
• Ispin took his name from a distinctive green shield he found early in his adventuring career. He claimed the shield was magical, but it had no obvious magical properties.
• The bighearted Ispin loved telling tall tales of his travels to anyone who would listen.
• Ispin used to adventure with a human Knight of Vashir named Becklin and a hill dwarf warrior named Cudgel. These two featured in many of Ispin’s stories of fighting sea monsters and goblin raiders.
• Ispin retired from traveling years ago, becoming a permanent resident of a little-known village in Solamnia called Vogler.
Each one of you will let me know how you knew him personally, and you might need to include it in your background. I will put it on the spreadsheet unless you want it to be private. If you need help with this task, I will be happy to provide you with some ideas.
