Aswind Hardlocke was born in Providence, Oren. This is where he and his family remained for quite some time. He was taught from home, and his parents were extremely knowledgeable, so he had quite a good education. Aswind, though, remembers little of his childhood. Aswind read much about adventurous tales, and he too wished to adventure. He went on adventure after adventure growing up. Or rather, as much adventuring as a young boy could really do. Though his big stunt one fateful day would be to board a trade vessel as a stowaway. He did this successfully by mostly luck. This vessel, though, was heading for the Free State of Sutica.
Aswind, around the middle of his voyage, realizes what he has just done. This is where his fear begins. He had damned himself to a life where he knows not what lies behind the next metaphorical door in his life.
