Dafric Peaward

Dafric Peaward is a young bard from Scampley.

Biography
Dafric was born and raised in Scampley by his uncles after the death of his parents in a snail-squid hunting incident. His upbringing was empoverished and during his childhood he helped his uncles scrape by by busking with the few songs he picked up from the fisherpeople of the village. When he was old enough to work on the boats he did so and gained some sailing ability, preferring to stay on the oars rather than hunting. However, Dafric had dreams of being an artist and continued his singing, picking up a couple of instruments and learning a wider variety of music. He longed to venture to the Isle of Song and attend the College of Theatrics there but as poor as he and his family were this was a pipe dream.

When he was 18 he met Ence, a selkie princess, who at the time was exploring the land as part of her education. They had several romantic incidents over a short period before Ence returned to the sea, but over the next year they met from time to time. During this period he became infatuated with Ence, but was unsure how to approach the relatiomship. It was well known in the community that Dafric had connections to the selkie and this was exploited by Keth Vergilm to capture Ence for her own ends.

The party first encountered Dafric in Scampley whilst he was trapped in the village's gibbet by the orders of Keth, in order to shut him up about his part in the kidnapping. Jecily Bright and Penerence Aster freed him from the cage in the middle of the night and helped him escape. During the party's escape from Scampley he was waiting for them in a rowing boat at the docks and joined them aboard the longboat.
