Drevan has an unremarkable life in general.
He, like many, was born the son of a farmer. Specifically in the kingdom of Haense. Here he lived an uneventful life. He aided his father and mother on the farm, made friends in the village (though with difficulty) and lived a rural and content life. Drevan and his family were devout followers of the Church of the True Faith. Having great conviction in the church of the canon and the virtues proclaimed by Horen. Hearing stories of how Horen brought order and virtue in an age of sin. An age where humans were wicked and Horen denied the tradition of having three wives.
Yet as with many other lives, Drevan's life was changed by the war of the two emperors. Drevan and his family hoped that they could continue on without any interference from the war. However, this was not to be. One day Drevan's village was pillaged by Orenian soldiers. It was a small raid, nothing to attract the attention of the high-up nobles. But for Drevan it took the lives of his parents and his extended family. Certainly not all of the village but unfortunately everyone he knew. Drevan only survived by hiding in an empty bag hidden in a corner.
He was lucky.
In the aftermath however, Drevan had nothing. He had the family farm but what was it worth now anyways ? What did a life of farming mean, his life was almost taken from him and what he done with it ? He had done nothing with it. His life might have been cut off before it had even started, and this had a possible positive effect on Drevan.
Rather than continuing the family farm he sold it to a friend's family. Then he used the money to buy some supplies and went of, leaving his home and the lands of Haense. Leaving his homeland to travel the world. Not for adventure, glory or anything like that. But to see. To see what there could be found in the world.
So that on the day that Drevan went to the heavens and to the promised land of Horen, that he could go with the satisfaction that he had experienced and seen everything that he could.

As Drevan stepped of the ship he took in the sensation of arriving in the port city. The stink of fish on the docks, the smell of oils and the sounds of a bustling city. A city where people lied, cheated, traded, laughed be merry and a hundred other sensations. It was almost overwhelming but also a beautiful sight to see. Not beautiful as nature, but beautiful in how it brought out the inner traits of man. Far more than the rural villages of Haense.
Then he saw how a well-dressed gentleman approached to him. Initially off-put by a lowly traveler such as him being addressed by a merchant or a noble, Drevan listened and then smiled as he saw that the man seemed to have good intentions. Or at least curiosity.
Drevan then spoke, his rough but kindly voice resonating though it was mostly muffled by the sounds of the city. "I am afraid that I have come for none of these reasons. I come here to travel, to see the sights. To see what beauties this world may yet hold.”
