Background:

Bernalillo Heck grew up a goatherd near a well-worn trade route. He found goatherding generally dull, but was captivated by the strange folk that took the road into the city.

One season was particularly good for the health and fecundity of his herd. Having arrived at the county fair and market, he ran into an old archaeology professor who told stories of archaeological digs and past civilizations. Bernie saw instantly that this was his destiny, and that Providence (or Desna, whatever, he's not picky) had provided him this great opportunity to take life by the horns and let someone else take his goats by the horns.

Bernie sold his remaining flock (except for Brutus, his not-so-faithful companion) and ran off to learn from the old professor. During his studies, he heard tell of the Tomb of Abysthor and the esoteric, possibly eldritch, ruins surrounding the old shrines of Thyr and Muir. Bernie has become intrigued by the possibilities of this site, be they for discovery, adventure, or fortune.

After a brief apprenticeship, Bernie has convinced the old man that it is time for him to make his own finds. Despite Brutus's bleating to the contrary, Bernie set off to find his fortune in the Valley of the Shrines.
