Pynroth Farbough

**Pynroth Farbough** *(PINE-roth FAHR-bo)* is a young tiefling who was born in the city of Hillsfar and left at Madame Delilah's Home for Orphaned Children soon after. Pynroth was only thirteen when he and many others were forced out of Hillsfar by the Great Law of Humanity, which made it illegal for nonhumans to reside in the city walls. Pynroth was taken in by Ebenz and Bea Farbough soon after, finally finding a family to be a part of at Farbough Farm.

Pynroth Farbough was an NPC from the *Heroes of Hillsfar* Duet.

## Description

Pynroth is a male tiefling with pale skin, heterochromatic eyes, and short black hair. At the young age of thirteen, he stood tall at 5 feet (1.5 meters) and weighing about 110 pounds (49.8 kilograms). One of his eyes was grey in color, while the other was closer to maroon. With less pronounced horns and a goat-like small tail, Pynroth's most defining tiefling feature were his cloven feet, as they made wearing shoes impractical.

## Personality

Despite only being thirteen, Pynroth had already hit a rebellious phase by the year 1488 DR. He was notorious among his family for avoiding his farmhand chores to explore the outskirts of Farbough Farm, and had dreams of one day becoming an adventurer who could go anywhere he wanted- though he truly loved the family who had adopted him and brought him out of the hostile environment of being a tiefling within the walls of Hillsfar. His tendency to rebel and shrug off chores almost led to disaster once when he was found by feral dogs out in the wilderness, but he was saved by Luaffyn Vandree and Calrak Nasadra- but that experience ultimately left him with an even bigger thirst for adventure.

## History

Pynroth was born in the year 1475 DR to an unknown mother who left him in care of Madame Delilah's Home for Orphaned Children shortly after. He was named Pynroth by one of the orphanage's wetnurses, and spent the first few years of his life blissfully unaware of his circumstances until he was old enough to socialize with children his age. Although Pynroth faced no discrimination at the orphanage who housed him, sentiment outside of Madam Delilah's was toxic for nonhumans, and doubly so for those of fiendish descent. Though he had an adventurous soul from a young age, his race and the dangers of being caught alone outside the orphanage's walls meant that all his actual friends were the nonhuman orphans experiencing the same issues as him.

When Pynroth was twelve, First Lord Torin Nomerthal re-established the Great Law of Humanity, forcing all nonhumans- even children like Pynroth -to be exiled from Hillsfar. Two childless farmers, Bea and Ebenz, took Pynroth and eleven others in as their own, not willing to see orphans abandoned outside the nearby city's walls. Pynroth grew to love his new parents and many many siblings in the months that followed, and although he was justifiably angry about his treatment in Hillsfar, he quickly began to thrive in an environment where he could explore without the dangers of bigoted mobs forming.

Ironically, shortly after he was adopted, his previously-thought-infertile parents were finally able to conceive, leading to the birth of six-fingered and six-toed sextuplet children. All the Farboughs believed this to be a blessing of Chauntea, but it was in truth the result of the influence of Graz'zt growing within the region of the Moonsea.

In 1488 DR while he was skipping on chores and exploring the lands outside of Farbough Farm, he was surrounded by feral dogs and was protected by a half-elf named Beralt who had come to investigate rumors of demonic influence in the area. Beralt was able to keep the dogs away from the youth, but it was ultimately a trio that would later be known as the Heroes of Hillsfar (Calrak, Luaffyn, and Kyralie). After saving the young boy, the party walked the boy home, where they found demonic goats attacking Pynroth's siblings and also dealt with them. Pynroth's parents rewarded the heroes with a big dinner and a place to stay, but they left after dinner- leaving behind a happy family and an inspired Pynroth who would remember their heroics forever.
