Biography (Please make it a decent two paragraphs long. Remember to add server lore, and events that happened to your character so that they don’t contradict history.):
Harold is nobody special. He was born a peasant and as long as he can remember, all that he has known is Athera. In specific, Oren and the various splinter kingdoms of it. As a boy, Harold's father, Richard, who was the son of Jacob, was a farmer. They worked the farms near Petrus and mostly stayed as far from politics as possible. They worked the fields of House Chivay for a time, then Carrion, and finally Horen when Godfrey had seized the Jewel of Mankind, Petrus. During the Varodyr rebellion, Harold's father, Richard, was drafted into the Carrion army and killed in battle, making Harold bitter and angry, but unsure who or what to be angry at.
Harold left the farm some time after Godfrey took the city and his mother passed. He wandered for years by doing odd jobs here and there. As he was fairly young, Harold was not taken seriously, especially by the elder races. His only weapon was a rusty Shortsword he had scavenged off a fallen soldier some years before, but he had no means to repair it and thus it fell to disrepair. As time passed, Harold would find himself in Petrus again with another King of another House in charge. However things were stable, and that meant the King deserved a measure of respect. Harold would spend time in Petrus, and see what he could do to make a simple living, after all, he was a simple man of a simple status.
He would, of course, fail at this and find himself in a levy fighting Dwarves alongside elves. What was he doing? Harold sat in a muddy trench as rain poured down and made crossing anywhere hell. With a sigh he stood up, peaking his head over the trench, and his eyes widened. A horn blew, and a wave of short fat bodies came running.
The position was overrun and were it not for the Second Arkovian Regiment, the day would have been lost. Harold would only hear the details later, however. He was knocked unconscious in the Melee and left for dead. Upon waking, he found himself in the company of a High Elf who worked a smithy in the Silver City who offered him a job in the forge. Harold quickly accepted, grateful for the man who had saved him.
Harold quickly learned the way around the forge and to keep from the city center. While not a brilliant smith in particular, Harold had a good arm and could make most of the basic things that the Smith could not be bothered to do. Doing such hard work earned him the trust of his savior, and he was a reliable person for the most part. Harold was grateful, and didn't find the labor too strenuous and appreciated the work out.
