Hailing from Hillsborough, Dingo was a Lightfoot Halfling who found it difficult to focus on any one thing for more than a week, much to the dismay of his parents. It certainly wasn’t that he couldn’t do the tasks that were being asked of him and more to do with it lacked any challenge.

As he traveled with them, the adventurers were speaking, in excited tones about some new continent that had been discovered a number of years ago that was recently churning quite a few relics and artifacts said to be of great value.

When the party arrived at Moontide Port, Sumyungsloth and Dingo both booked passage aboard the Alpha Dawn, heading for this new continent and new life…
