Prologue
Born in Ashabenford, Dirk's mother was a moon elf, violated by a bandit raider during a Zhentarim attack. He was raised by the local blacksmith and considered more human than elf. While his mother saw him on occasion she desired to stay aloof and allow him to adapt to the realm of humans. However Dirk's elvish blood saw him outlast his adoptive bothers and sisters.

Because of his nature, he never took a wife and studied the teachings of Our Lady of Silver, goddess of the moon, stars, and navigation. Once he became a sea captain of his own ship, he remained at sea aboard the "Moon Rusher", even at port his place was his ship. Selûne had his path cross with another half-elf, when he shipwrecked in Neverwinter. A man called Evil Finger claiming to be a "practical promoter of the people". Dirk found him to be more of a liar and cheat. Evil Finger managed to find trouble very easy.

However Dirk decided to keep his new found "brother" out of trouble by employing him as his hired sword. Evil Finger became more accomplished as a swordsman under Dirk's direct supervision. After some time in Neverwinter, Dirk saved up enough gold to send for a man known as Grelvorn Ironhand. He hired this man for odd jobs that required extra muscle. Known only to Dirk, Grelvorn is a direct decendant of the blacksmith who raised him. Thus making Dirk, Grelvorn's great uncle by his adoption.
