Godwin is a 20 year old orphan, he grew up with no such family to take care of him because they all died before he could remember. Godwin stayed at a camp, the camp he lived in would often move due to wars, they would only work small jobs and live on trades. The travelers camp that took him in made him learn many things, how to protect himself, how to not trust anyone, how to work and earn salary and how to survive alone. This led Godwin to move and leave his camp which he doesn't necessarily call home because of how often they moved, he brought his knowledge aka everything he learned as he grew up along the way, he stayed strong and depended on himself a lot. A wise heartlander like Godwin saw life at it's hardest points but he is not eager to give up. Going to the kingdom of Norland, that is where Godwin sees himself fitting in the most, he thought most independant people would be Norlandic since he's eager to become a good fighter and die a fighter too instead of avoiding wars.
