Background:
Jeram's childhood growing up in the remote city of Roosem was a fairly typical one for a young man of his age. While he was always a tad flighty and carefree he still managed to avoid getting into TOO much trouble as he grew up. Knowing he did not want to be constrained by any rules or laws he requested, and was granted, to be trained as a wilderness scout.
Things were very easy for him as his time was spent in search for missing farm animals and the occasional hunting trip.
All of this changed when an elf named Ithus Moun asked for his help in tracking down a gang of thugs who had stolen a valuable trinket.
After helping the elf retrieve the trinket, an unusually designed gauntlet, he paid it no further mind. Only later did he learn it was actually a minor artifact that had been found by a young thug while looking for a hideout for his gang near a town. It was called the Gauntlet of Wealth. While its properties were not well understood one of the known properties was the ability to influence a person's luck during games of chance. Naturally a person using this item would grow addicted to it, ever pursuing more wealth. Rumor has it it could also create gold and gems out of thin air but no one is sure how this works.
Still he was recommended for induction into the Order of the Vault of Veils by Ithus Moun? When he asked why the young elf replied despite his flighty and somewhat carefree nature Jeram showed a dedication and willingness to focus on the task at hand to accomplish the goal.
Now after getting an inkling of what this Order's main purpose was he now wonders whether it was a mistake in joining...
