Garth is the innkeeper of [[The Frost Hound|The Frost Hound Tavern]] in [[Hawkethorne]], and is a pillar of the community. He's the closest thing to a leader the people of Hawkethorne have. Garth used to be a thief in his early life before he settled down in Hawkethorne. During his thieving days he was part of a company in which the captain (who would later become his wife) took a liking to him right off. The company kept on for a few years until their luck ran out when one summer his captain tells him that she was pregnant with his kids. It took everything Garth had to convince his wife to settle down, but eventually they did. Sometime after the kids were born she was exiled from Hawkethorne, leaving the kids with him. The exact reason as to why is kept a secret and those who know do not speak of it.

Overhaul in progress

Garth is the innkeeper of The Frost Hound Tavern in Hawkethorne, and is a pillar of the community. He's the closest thing to a leader the people of Hawkethorne have. Garth used to be a thief in his early life before he settled down in Hawkethorne. During his thieving days he was part of a company in which the captain (who would later become his wife) took a liking to him right off. The company kept on for a few years until their luck ran out when one summer his captain tells him that she was pregnant with his kids. It took everything Garth had to convince his wife to settle down, but eventually they did. Sometime after the kids were born she was exiled from Hawkethorne, leaving the kids with him. The exact reason as to why is kept a secret and those who know do not speak of it.
