Tobias Aetos: Difference between revisions

==HistoryEarly Life==

Tobias, unlike his father, was never rich. Tobias's father died in a training regiment accident many years ago, and he had never seen his mother. At the funeral, Toby was too young to quite understand the agreements of the contract he was handed and received none of the wealth of his father. Returning home, and uncaring for his father, he ruffled through his father's many things looking for anything of value or potential worth. He saw books on how to write; howgreat to drawtomes, no,but no,the hesubject did not need these things; drawing and writing, those were for the rich and wealthy, he was taught this manyinterest timeshim. He searched deeper and deeper through hundreds, what felt like thousands, of building plans, until he found something. A book with a rose-gold bookmark delicately placed on page 5; a number Tobias wouldn't forget, for on this page, as he reached to remove the bookmark; already wondering what it was worth, he read a small transcript thewhich bookmark reflected. It lit up with a almost heavenly glow.read: "Forging is many dwarfDwarf's key to luxury and good health, a good smith is not only good luck to themselves, but also their allies." Tobias's father always spoke of luck! He read deeper, again and again the book mentioned how much luck forging and hammering steel would bring. It was dusk when he started reading and it was noon by the time he finished. Tobias sold the bookmark for a book on the basics of a smithy... Skipping ahead, Tobias set sail for the Outpost, his equivalent to a holy book in hand, all his life he's been a common smith, but today, he thinks, things will change for the better.
