Ralph was raised in the outskirts of the Free City of Ves, now Kaedrin. He was raised as a peasant that would do the daily chores required of him by his family, including such tasks as gathering water from the river, helping out his father, a Guard in the city, or doing other menial chores for people about the city. This was a simple life with a strict routine, getting up early and finishing late. This was not a life Ralph wanted to live because it did not pay well at all. Eventually he decided he wanted to do something more - become a skilled fighter and adventurer. For this he left Ves and headed towards the Capital of Man, Helena, where he presumed the most skilled fighters of Human society would be. The aim here was to tutor under one of the Knights of the realm, and hopefully become as skilled as them one day. Beyond this, he was also aware of a recent war that had taken place and that had ravaged the land called the War of the Two Emperors. This is where the victors lived, he was told, and so he knew Helena was where the best fighters would reside – they had won the war after all. Ves was against Helena during the war and so he made sure to learn this before setting off. This was because if he was not cautious then he may get backlash for where he lives due to the war.
That’s where his history ends and his future begins, with a quest for him to find a Knight to squire under and learn the way of the sword.
