Sparrow Treekeeper

Sparrow Treekeeper is one of the founding members of the Hindenburg Ground Crew. He has been involved in many adventures to save Awbor, the most famous being defeating Kyuss in 714 AP.

## Character Overview

Sparrow is a good natured person, always ready to help. He has a no nonsense approach to life. He originally started his adventures with a deep sense of duty, towards his family, his oath and his country. This slowly changed over the course of the Kyuss Events, where Sparrow realised that the rules, oaths and laws were simply holding him back from saving the world from evil. While he retains a deep respect for the law-abiding folk, he is ready to break rules in a heartbeat if it means adding a bit of good and happiness in the world.

## Backstory

Sparrow was born in the halfling village of Rosegate, deep inside the Elairana Forest. His family is tasked with tending to the enormous Fey Cherry Tree in the middle of the village: The Summer Tree. Every summer the halflings would gather underneath the tree to worship the arrival of the season. An artefact called the Summer Carving, was then entrusted to the Treekeeper family to protect until next year. Sparrow
grew up a only child, learning responsibility and wisdom, and like the rest of his family, he was respected by all. When Sparrow came of age, he was entrusted with protecting the Summer carving, and, to keep it hidden away from potential thieves, hid it in a bag of potatoes, thinking that nobody would steal a bag of potatoes…

4 months later, Sparrow found himself travelling across the land looking for “a stolen bag of potatoes”. He then went on to meet several other adventurers, and his quest got slightly sidetracked. He eventually recuperated the Carving, and returned it to his family.

When he wasn't busy saving the world, Sparrow built up a small merchant business across the major trading routes of Awbor, specialised in selling adventuring gear. He is also one of the original founders of the Little Person Association.

To amuse himself, he runs an adventurers shop called "the 11th foot" in Zingherra.

## Abilities

Sparrow is one of the best rangers in the country, and an excellent archer. Powered by the might of Racism, he can fire a hate-filled arrow every second. His favoured enemies are undead, evil outsiders, aberrations, and humans. Skill-wise he has excellent senses and sneaking capabilities, being able to reposition himself quickly in combat.

Sparrow has a veritably arsenal of bows and arrows for any occasion. He wields the mighty Bow of Force and 5 raptor arrows, allowing him to bypass all forms of damage reduction, and applying the power of racism against every foe he meets. The Oath bow, the Wintermoon Bow, Shimmer, Eshalod and many other weapons are at his disposal. Notable feats include killing a Death Giant with just 6 arrows.

He has a small amount of magical power, allowing him to boost his archery abilities, especially against enemies bigger than himself. He wears a mask of flight, and possesses multiple magical staffs.

He usually is accompanied by several animal companions who help him out in combat.

## Entourage & Family

### Granny Wren

Sparrow's grandmother. She almost intervened when Kyuss attacked Awbor, but decided in the end to let Sparrow finish the job.

### Truffles

Sparrow's first animal companion, Truffles the riding dog is the best boy, accompanying his master across the country, across the planes, and even into Hell itself. He often hung back from fights as the the enemies became stronger and stronger, but his loyalty never faltered. He fought the Death Knight during the final fight for the Bone Throne. He then lived a nice peaceful life. His grave lies at the roots of the Summer Tree.

### Kettle

Kettle the chordavoc is a hawk-like bird acquired by Sparrow in his later adventuring years. With excellent senses and razor sharp claws, Kettle was an excellent lookout, and could decapitate a line of zombies in one swoop. Her grave is next to Truffles.
