Tazz

Halflings, often looked down upon in more ways than the obvious. Often exploited for their labor and they are one of the most common slave races. Tazz was no different, but he was the first halfling who changed the reputation of the halflings.
At a young age, Tazz was sold as a slave to work on a boat. During his work here, he saw many different places. The travelling part spoke to him, and he spent most of his time on the boat daydreaming about travelling around Jamboloydia as a free man. Even when his life was at his worst, he didn’t let it beat him. He was scrubbing, lifting and almost worked himself to the edge of death, but he still crumbled into his straw bed with a strong and determined heart.
After serving a few years on the boat, he bought his own freedom. Nobody knows how, but the captain of the boat released him while the ship was docked in Thamos, the biggest city in Jamboloydia. Rumors speak of Tazz manipulating the captain to let him go against a later payment or promise to return with something. Tazz always had a way with words. Tazz left the harbour a free man and never looked back.
For years he dedicated his life to hard training with a lute. It is said that Tazz once saw a bard playing a lute, and he had never been that fascinated before. Since that time, he always wanted to be able to play. He studied the instrument and learned to cast spells via the lute. After immense amounts of time put into studying and practicing, he finally decided to perform in front of people. He started in bars and taverns in Thamos and he quickly became famous. In a short amount of time, he became the best bard in town, singing about his adventures in the boat and making fun of his own race in sarcastic ways. With the reputation of being the best, he could choose when to perform, where to perform and how much he was paid. People loved his stories, and slowly he gained the respect from most.
He was headhunted to join a successful group of adventurers, which he accepted without any hesitation. Once again, he was travelling throughout Jamboloydia, but this time it was on land and he did it with friends, glorifying them in his sweet tunes along the way. Stories of him seducing dragons, disarming the most powerful fighters and manipulating evil into doing good, are just a few of the many legends of Tazz.
He became the most powerful Bard ever to set foot in Jamboloydia. He quickly became the face of the party and soon the group was the most famous adventurer party ever. They fought for the good and defeated the evil. Everywhere they went, they had the respect of everyone. Being the most successful halfling ever, he started to change the narrow minds of many. Even today, his achievement still echoes throughout Jamboloydia. Many laughs at halflings and many see them as stupid children, but deep inside most knows never to underestimate them.
Many years after his ascension to godhood, Tazz is still the most famous and powerful halfling to ever have lived. His worshippers are mainly bards and halflings but also adventurers and traveling merchants pay homage to Tazz.
