Christopher Hammond is born to a dead mother and no father in the family home nestle in one of the crevasses of Holm, as he is parentless the midwife adopts him for the house and sell it. The midwife raises him to survive and throws him on the street. Just another Urchin on the streets of Holm. he takes an odd job whenever he can, which is rarely ever. one day he sees a man recruiting farm hands to tend the plantation south-east of the city, "Any age same wages and all equal, just be able and willing", so, Christopher thinks to himself, "why not I've got nothing to lose" and signs up his first weeks on the farm are purely educational on what to do and what not to do and how to do it. he is given a small area to live during the service he lives on this farm till he is 17, almost 18. on the last day of his service a wandering monk, who has connections with the cloud temple monks and some druids, witnesses the birth of a possible future druidic human. on that fateful day, Christopher somehow performs a growth spell on the sugarcanes he is growing not realizing that this is his doing he watches in amazement as the sugarcane grows from the spouts he planted in the sand to the hight of an ogre, a massive bundle of shoots. just as other farmhands see the strange occurrence, the monk who has been watching sweeps Christopher up and runs to his hidden camp in the mountain peaks. Christopher through all his work at the farm hadn't gotten as strong or muscular as any of the others his age had, therefore has no chance of resisting the strong grip of the man. over the next couple months up to his birthday, they have traveled from city to city, the man looking for others with abilities or talents of any sort, none are found. Finally coincidingly reaching an area called Druid's Grove on his 18th birthday. The man brings Christopher inside and to a beautiful female wood elf druid who attempts to show him how to use his gifts, in the end, Christopher is not in-touch enough with his power and the druid sends them to cloud temple to begin to understand the gifts, Christopher has been blessed with. by the time they arrive, it has been another year and Christopher is 19 years old.

As this young wood elf was Growing at a camp in the woods south of Dominion He witnessed a great atrocity when the camp was burnt down and pillaged by Orks, everyone except Frostlef was either taken or killed there. the only reason he lived without the physical scars was that he concealed himself in the roots of a tree. now knowing where to go he found a bow and arrows on one of the two dead guards and survived of the lands fauna and foliage. later in this period, he found a road and traveled down it and made his way to Dominion. as it had been quite some time since the camp attack he was wary around any other sentience lacking socialization in the years of being in the forest. one day a businessman saw him honing his archery and contracted him for an order of hides. Not understanding the idea of currency yet he was taken advantage of by the entrepreneur and quickly made a name for himself the most effective hunter in all of the city of Dominion. on an especially challenging hunt, he was wounded and left for dead by a sent companion his time in the forest was not wasted as he had learned the "way of the wood" and most its herbs and secrets. 3 years later he wakes up in cloud temple.
