Born in Holtburg I wandered around killing dread beasts like Drudge Slinkers & terrifying Banderlings. I had no real purpose in this world till a kind stranger Berek Quickhand offered to take me in as his vassal. He gave me the coolest Amuli armor ever. Course I could not activate the spells but it looked so much better than the stuff I found in academy chest. No I did not even have a Academy coat I promptly lost the leggings to a group of Bandies on the outskirts of town & saved the coat till I could activate it (many levels later). Since then I have not lost anything recoverable except a few DI's in the acid prism where I jumped to find out if the door was open (it was not).
