The Lore of Bard Poppy of the Mount

Poppy was born into one of the most wealthy and influential anuran families in Frog Master Marsh. Fortune and blessings seemed to shower upon his every turn from tadpole to young toad. Schooled at the most prestigious academies in the Blue Wizard Bastion, Poppy filled his mind with the countless tombs and scrolls of mystic and scientific knowledge in the halls of the greatest libraries in the realm. His fellow wizard scholars often gathered in taverns after lecture to have a pint of ale and sing songs of heros long past. Poppy had an exceptional voice and entertained his friends regularly at the ale house with his tales of adventure and songs of merriment. It was here that Poppy met the love of his life. Poppy's life was good. Until it wasn't.

As Poppy's education neared its final stage before his initiation into the wizards guild, Poppy wanted to introduce his bride to be to his family. They traveled south to his home when they were beset by bandits. They ruthlessly murdered his bride to be and slit poppy's throat. He was left in a ditch to die. Later that night a whirlwind of healing force came and lifted Poppy out of the muck and healed his wounds. In flash of brilliant light a symbol appeared burned on his forehead. He awoke the next morning to find his lifeless bride next to him. He tried to scream in agony but no sound would come out. He could no longer speak!

He wandered for days. Hopeless and disillusioned. He had no memory of the night he was ambushed, except for the face of the love of his life saying one word, "Hanataka". He wanted to run home but knew his father would be devastated that his voice was taken. He couldn't bear to break their hearts. Maybe he could find a way to restore his voice at the Blue Wizard Bastion? What was the meaning of his only memory from that night? What is the significance of this symbol branded on his head? It appears that the tale of Poppy's journey has just begun.
