The Rat

The Rat was a mother rat living in Serenia. It helped him escape imprisonment in the Swarthy Hog Inn in return.

Background
While adventuring in Serenia, Graham spided a rat being chased by a large and mangy cat. Although the king's heart usually goes out to all beings in distress, it went out especially so that day to a rodent that most folk react to with revulsion. The old shoe that Graham hurled at the cat helped save the lives of the king's family. Without the nameless rat's gratitude and aid, Graham's quest would have either ended in a dank basement in Serenia or beneath an unclimbable cliff in the mountains. It is through small kindnesses that great monarchs are made.
