You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.” ((How do you respond?)) "Oh.. have you now?" I say after collecting myself, attempting to come off as confident. After a deep breath I start telling my story, "Well to start, I grew up in a middle class family in a small village. My father was the town blacksmith, and he owned his own shop. I grew up working with him, serving the people that passed through our village. It may sound boring, and it probably was, but I enjoyed my youth. Up until now, I'd never left my village, I had no reason to. Until one day, I was working in the shop selling our wares when a tall man walked in. He must have been over 6 feet tall, and covered in scars, even so he had this.. aura around him, like everywhere he went people couldn't help but watch him, myself included. What was it, his height? His scars? His long sword on his waist? Or his overarching confidence? Maybe it was all of these things. He approached me and asked for some work to be done on his sword, nothing special really, just some minor repairs, then he left. Since then, I knew what I wanted, I wanted to see the world, travel across the continent and see things I've never seen before." I let out a breath, "And now here I am, years later, starting to live my dream."

Zave grew up on a farm with his parents, he had no siblings. Zave's father never approved of his son because of his small and weak body as a child and never let him work in the fields with him. Although against his fathers wishes, Zave watched his father work every day and picked up on skills whilst doing so. At the age of nine, his mother died from a plague that spread through his town. Shortly after his mothers passing his father abandoned him during a trip to the city. All alone after leaving the unfamiliar setting of the city, for the next decade Zave learned to survive by himself wandering the countryside.

Shortly after his mothers passing his father abandoned him during a trip to the city of Providence. All alone after leaving the unfamiliar setting of the city, Zave went out to travel and learn more about the world. He traveled between towns, living on what he had, which wasn't much. Zave scraped buy for years. When he was 16, while traveling a dirt road in the night, he was attacked and robbed of his little money by a group of bandits. The next morning, Zave was picked up by a merchant who brought him to the nearest town. He was brought to the towns doctor, Horest, this doctor was kind and took in Zave. Zave learned all sorts of things living with Horest, perhaps one of the most important things he learned was Canonism, he began to worship Canonism and it's church. During the next five years Zave worked as Horest's assistant learning all about medicine and how to help people and to be a good person. Once Zave turned 21 he decided to leave his town and begin his life, he traveled back to the city of Providence in hopes of beginning a journey towards his future.
