Hi! My name is Cleossandra Copperfield, and I'm, uh, 800 years old. Well, not really, I skipped most of those years in between. I was born in Sarbreen in the Realm of Glimmering Swords, before the drow came. They totally destroyed the realm, but some adventurers from this time came back to stall them long enough to let some of us women and children escape. One of those brave adventurers was a half-orc paladin named Grunt Brokentoe - who ever heard of such a thing? The people of Ravens Bluff, besides being squatters on Sarbreen, must have some sense of decency, especially if some orc helps out dwarves.

We were barely in front of the drow, even with the adventurers' help. It looks like all of our menfolk were killed, but at least they gave their lives for a purpose, something dwarves live for. I and the other women were able to save a lot of our children. But the drow managed to catch up with us, and would have killed us too, had it not been for another band of adventurers from Ravens Bluff. They were able to defeat the war party that had captured us, and took us forward 750 years to the present. Fortunately, I've met a lot of nice dwarves here in Ravens Bluff, and I don't mind too much about the humans stealing our land. I guess we weren't using it. But a lot of the dwarves are forming a clan here that a lot of us old-timers are joining, because we have no other family now. Clan Brightsword. There will also be a temple to my Lady Berronar Truesilver. I was only a novice when the drow attacked, but I've now became fully vested as a priestess. Unfortunately, the records from the old clans were lost when the drow attacked, but as one of the few priestesses of Berronar in the area, I'm working on making sure that that doesn't happen again. I think that all the Copperfields were wiped out in the invasion, so I'm the only one left.

At least while Brightsword Keep is being built and prepared, I'm staying with one of the adventurers who saved us, the gnome Thurmananthas Greymantle. He's ever so smart, and we spend a lot of time talking about life back in Sarbreen. He's writing a book about it, and I'll have credit in it. He's showed me around the city, which is much bigger than Sarbreen was, and helped me start out as an adventurer. I figure it's my duty, as adventurers saved us all from the drow. But humans are so strange, and you get attacked so often here in the city. The City Watch should really do something about it.
