Brer Dimin - Adventurer and shoulder-pad icon

Meet Brer Dimin, normal in all aspects bar one.

Brer lives, normally, in a town called Hillfar. By our standards it would barely be a village but to Brer and its inhabitants it is a bustling metropolis which even has its own armoury. This sets it apart from the distant town of Hillnear. Dominating this area is a large hill called The Tops with Hillnear nestled in its low slopes while Hillfar sits several hours travel distant.

This story begins one evening as Brer is sat in one of the two public houses in Hillfar and happens to overhear a small group of 'nearians talking in low voices, huddled close and secret. They are discussing the recent sighting of The Dragon Rook; can it be real? Should they believe the dying words of the wounded Traveller who had stumbled down the flanks for The Tops to gasp the news before breathing their final breath? If it IS truth, what should they do?!

Brer is able to overhear snatches of the discussion from her position leaning against the bar and she does her best to appear disinterested and even completely distracted. As the group stands to leave an agreement is reached. They WILL put a party together and they WILL go and hunt this near-mythical creature, using the words of the dead unfortunate as their guide.

Bea, the Rookling

To understand Brer's next impulse let me introduce you to that which makes her unusual - Bea.

Bea is a Rookling which is not SO unusual in these parts however what sets Bea apart is she is able to fly. Everyone thinks The Dragon Rook is the only flying Rook but Brer knows, because of Bea, that either it is already destroyed (and Bea was its Rookling) or there were at least two of these incredible creatures.

Anyway, that being made clear Brer immediately knew what she should do; she must beat these nefarious 'nearians to the chase, leave before they do and find The Dragon Rook (or its remains) in the hope of learning more about Bea and maybe, just maybe, discovering that the legends are true and it will give her the ability to fly with Bea - oh what a dream!

As soon as the coast is clear she downs her drink, pays Damling for it with a nod and a smile, and heads home to grab a few travelling items, her trusty sword, and collect Bea from her hiding place.

Brer is going on an adventure!
