Dalah could be seen as a lost one, most of his life he has been travelling from place to place. Some travels seemed more like fleeing than travelling. He remembered some, but little of the life in the tribe. His father was the only one he had most of his life. His father was respected by some, but misunderstood by most.
What the reason was why Dalah's father left the old tribe? Dalah, never got to know that. He knew it was something with a prophecy and the ritual of change. If his father was still there, maybe he would ever know. Now he is no more than a Kalah, a lost one, as a ghostwise would say. He had no name, for he was taken away before he was given a name and without his father, who would give him a name? Only he could, so Dalah seemed alright, a combination of "it is" and "lost". Why "it is"? Dalah himself didn't know, just it was something his father used to tell him, "he was" and he should never forget that.
Dalah's father was different of other ghostwise, while most are trained with channeling ancestors, ways of the woods or fighting, Dalah's father was trained with nothing it seemed, only with himself. When he fought, he used his fists, when he needed rest, he turned to himself and with more things, he only seemed to need himself.
Eventough he now and then spoke of the ancestors, about what they said and what they were like, however he never told how he knew that. Now that Dalah was alone he started to wonder....

It was only after a month after his father's death that he was called by the dragon, giving him a new goal in his still young life. He was unsure if he had to take it serious, what would a dragon want from a lost boy like himself?

Normally not much interest was shown for halflings, at least not ghostwise. Except for those who thought body language was "cool" and kept asking about it, one even believed ghostwise were psychic. Dalah himself didn't know much of the body language, he could reconize it, but that would be near all.
He had interest is the ghostwise and a part of him wants to return, however he also sees that there is as good as no chance for that. While being a ghostwise he would still be a stranger and he would have to adopt to their ways again, not to forget finding a tribe first. Also he was afraid he would offend his father's spirit if he went back, while not being raised as a typical ghostwise, he still had respect for the ghosts of family that had died. And like most ghostwise he placed them before deity, however this also was so because his father always taught him to look to himself instead of to the gods.

Which left him with the question why his father left, what prophecies could make him leave? He wouldn't have left out of danger, that was not like him. And what was it with the ritual of change? if one had seemed to have found balance, it would have been Dalah's father.
Also why didn't mother do anthing? ofcourse she had other childeren and husbands to care about, but she wouldn't forget about Dalah. All Dalah could think of was that Dalah's father left because he didn't agree with the rest of the tribe. Still the question was not answered.

All Dalah wished for was becoming a true person, as like getting name in the ghostwise tribes. He knew that the chances on that were small and maybe becoming a "true" person among all the other races was even more worthy. Maybe he had to give himself a name, maybe he would be given one, aslong as he would grow to become worthy.

TBW, only monk multi-class restriction are the agliment and that you can't multiclass back (unless with a character develpment quest maybe)
