Lutke Geshburger's page

Lutke Geshburger was first exposed to locks and mechanical design when his father purchased a small Dwarven lockbox from a sly trader. The trader sold it for what he claimed was a pittance of the value of the object inside. The problem was...no one could get it open. The key had been lost long ago.

Lutke spent hours trying to pick the lock and wasted much time he should have been working on his family farm. So far, he has not yet succeeded in opening the lockbox. He practiced on many "lesser" locks and tinkered with anything that had moving parts he could get into his hands. Knowing he would never be content to be a farmer, his father apprenticed Lutke to locksmith/clockmaker Jeager Fitzberg in town. Lutke studied as much ancient mechanical designs as he could find with plans to attend a school of engineering one day.

For now, he's decided to earn money for school and acquire hands on experience with locks and traps of all kinds...all with dreams of becoming a premier designer of mundane and magical dungeons and leave his mark on history.

Description:

Lutke Geshburger was first exposed to locks and mechanical design when his father purchased a small Dwarven lockbox from a sly trader. The trader sold it for what he claimed was a pittance of the value of the object inside. The problem was....no one could get it open. The key had been lost long ago.

Lutke spent hours trying to pick the lock and wasted much time he should have been working on his family farm. So far he has not yet succeeded in opening the lockbox. He practiced on many "lesser" locks and tinkered with anything that had moving parts he could get into his hands. Knowing he would never be content to be a farmer, his father apprenticed Lutke to locksmith/clockmaker Jeager Fitzberg in the region's market town Wasswald under whom Lutke learned to read. Lutke studied as much Imperial, Tilean, and Dwarven mechanical designs with dreams of attending the Imperial School of Engineering one day.

When the war came, Lutke joined up using his skills to assist with smithing the guns, ballista and other mechanical items in use by the Imperial Army. Lutke's ultimate goal is to one day be a renowned builder of locks and traps, and create perfect defenses.
