Raum lived most of his life with his father and mother. They lived a few miles away from the city of Norland. Raum's father was away from home most of the time going on adventure of his own. But Raum's father still came to visit them from time to time. Raum did half of the chores whenever his father wasn't home. He helped with cooking, did the groceries and went out to collect wood. Raum was always an active kid. When he had free time he would go outside running and playing with other kids he found. He was especially close to one of the kids named Axel. Axel and Raum became best of friends and would spend most of their time together. Their favourite activity was sparring. They liked to show each other how strong they are. Unfortunately for Raum, Axel would always be victorious even though Raum would always have an advantage due to Axel having an extremely painful disease that he kept as a secret. Axel would tell Raum stories of battles and wars such as the Tenth Nordling War. Raum would gladly listen to Axel's stories. Maybe there was even hints on how he could become stronger. On a rainy day, Raum would learn the truth of his best friend's, Axel's, disease. Axel's mother came to inform him a few hours after she found him dead in his bed. Raum was devastated by this and couldn't believe his ears. A few days later Raum went to help with Axel's burial. Raum swore to become stronger not only for his sake but also for the person he considered a brother.

Bjarni was born in the northern part of the world. Bjarni lived with his parents and an older brother, Karsten in woods. Bjarni's father taught Bjarni and the elder brother to hunt and how to survive in the wild. Bjarni's parents let their children to go hunting by themselves when they were ready. One day Bjarni and his brother were out hunting when they encountered a vicious bear that attacked them. Bjarni and his brother came out victorious but Bjarni ended up with three scars on his chest that would stay to live with him. After the battle with the bear, Bjarni and his older brother were scolded by their mother but their father praised them for their bravery. Later Bjarni asked his brother to spar with him so he could become stronger and be more prepared for another encounter with a wild animal. The elder brother gladly accepted his request and their started spar and get stronger with each other while going on with their daily lives. One day Karsten overheard their parents talk about the events of the Tenth Nordling War that happened by the time he was born. This peaked his interest. Karsten told Bjarni about how he wanted to explore the world nad different regions and learn more about them. Bjarni was fascinated by what Karsten told him and was inspired to start his adventure as well. Their parents told them that they would allow them to leave the woods when they turned eighteen. So two winters later the elder brother packed up his things and was ready to leave. Father gave him an axe in case he needed to protect himself. The elder brother told Bjarni to come search for him after the next winter passed. One winter later was the time when Bjarni was ready to leave the woods for his adventure. His father gave him an axe as well. The axe was almost identical to the one he gave Bjarni's brother. Bjarni has now started his adventure by heading south of the house. His first quest is to find a town for more detail.
