Eriksander Goldbeard was born near the city of Anganarum to a retired veteran and a housewife. His parents owned a small homestead which mainly grew wheat. They had a pair of milk cows and a lame farm horse. As a child, Erik would learn his lessons the hard way; his father was tough on him and he was expected to perform many tasks each day. Erik was ordered to feed all the animals and harvest the crops before he earned the right to have breakfast. Soon after Erik’s birth, he was gifted with two younger sisters whom he loved deeply. While his mother taught them how to mend and cook, his father taught him how to wield a blade once he turned fourteen.

As a young teenager, he practised often in his spare time, hoping to please his father with a set of new skills. Though he wasn’t great, he knew how to wield a sword properly before he turned 16. Somewhere during that time, the homestead was raided by a warband of orcs, who took the lives of Erik’s family. He was the sole survivor of the event, he managed to hide in the mill, which was some distance away from the manor. 

After the loss of his loved ones, Erik ventured out, walking past the charred corpses of his mother, father and sisters with only so little he could carry on his back.

To this day, Erik serves as a sellsword, sometimes leading small companies. He takes up jobs for small fees and aspires to one day marry and have a family of his own on a nice, small plot of land of which he intends to live in.
