I was taken prisoner from by a raiding party of orcs, but was saved when the raiding party ran into a group of adventurers. One of the adventurers was a Pathfinder wizard, Garret, who took me with him to Magnimar to be healed. I was left with his sister, Marianna, who teaches magic at the Stone of the Seers. I was thus able to attend the school when I became old enough, as I displayed a knack for magic and crafting. However I was struck by wonderlust and curiosity, so I joined the Pathfinders to go out and explore to find new knowledge and to see the world, particularly ruins and fey.
So far I have only recently come back from my first mission near Sandpoint, and I came back with a renewed dislike of orcs, as we had a stalemate with Forgarth the Earless and his band of orcs. They got the one half of the artifact and my main spellbook, but we secured the other half and the key I now wear (unbeknowest to the others).
I managed to replace my spellbook but it now seems rather empty with only three spells.
