He eventually became frustrated with his living situation and had a falling out with his family. Gnomes always held family and community in high regards, but Rhino felt differently. He then left his village and went out into the world for adventure. His journey soon led him to the coast and he had his first encounter with pirates. At first he wanted to avoid them, but his sword skills caught their attention and they offered him a place among their crew. Rhino got a feeling that they accepted him for who he was and would give him the adventures he really wanted.
