Background
During late winter 1370 DR, Tred was travelling to Shallows by caravan, with his brother Duggan, Nikwillig, Bokkum and Stokkum, when it was attacked by a band of orcs and boulder-hurling frost giants. Tred was injured during this attack, and only he and Nikwillig survived. They stumbled across the hamlet of Clicking Heels where they were given food and healing, before continuing their journey, encountering Bruenor Battlehammer's caravan, and joining up with them.
