A Bard is Born

Dhom was born to Syrah and Elrohf Gil'al in the fair lands of Greginsham. They were both very, very attractive half-elves so it is no surprise Dhom grew up to be so handsome himself. Syrah was not only beautiful, but an accomplished musician. Her singing voice, it was said, would carry across the mountains and through the valleys whenever she sang, bringing the wildlife out of hiding and to sitting outside their windows to listen. It was also said that her beauty itself would have a similar effect on the men of the lands. Elrohf wasn't jealous, for he too had to beat away admirers of his features with his guitar. Get a few drinks at the local bar into Elrohf, however, and he would start brawling with anyone who looked at him sideways. Syrah didn't mind this, since she found it quite attractive a trait in her husband to be able to be so physically capable in a pugilistic manner. Thus Dhom grew up much the same as the traits he saw in his parents.... Handsome, care free, musical, violent when needed, and if drinking sometimes violent when not needed.
