“It is not the most inventive nickname in the world, but it is fitting. Careca is the hairless dark elf blitzer for the Gammora Thunder. The nickname was given by the Tillean Amazon crowd in his rookie match when a catcher knocked him into the stands. The amazon women went wild in the stadium when he fell into their hands and passed him around amongst them for most of the game. He managed to make it back to his bench with only minor bumps and scrapes but without most of his apparel or any of his pride. You see, the crowd learned that day that Sadoder Bravedran had contracted a skin condition which rendered him hairless. Hence the moniker Careca meaning Baldy in Tillean.

It does not take much to get under the skin of a Dark Elf, and Sadoder was particularly jaded by the handle he had been given. The name stuck and even at home games he is taunted by the merciless chant of “Baaaaldy….Baaaaaldy…..Baaaaaldy.” Woe, woe, woe unto the opponent who thinks it is wise to provoke old Sadoder.

Aelrue Balrie underestimated Sadoder and began to mock early and often in the match. “You are so bald my ears are harrier than your head.” Later. “God was good to you! He gave you a delicate face and room for a second.” Then. “I guess you found the ultimate cure for dandruff.” Finally. “Was that ostrich at the zoo chasing you because she thought her egg was running away? ….. At least you will never get a hairline fracture…… Are you really bald, or is your neck just blowing a bubble?”

Sadoder could take no more and the depilated one struck from behind as any well trained dark elf will do. His stiletto puncturing 6, 8, 12 times in flashes. Aelrue was dead before her blond locks reached the ground. Sadoder grabeed a hand full of her blood soaked mane, tore it off and tied it in his armband.

On the sideline, Aelrue’s twin brother/sister Adresin could only howl in anguish and hatred. With the damage done all she could do was shout threats and obscenities at Careca the remainder of the match. The Archers of Avelon buried another of their own that night, then they plotted their revenge. A bounty was placed on the bald head. 500 pieces of gold or warpstone will go to anyone who can bring me that foul elf’s ears.
