House and Heirloom:
Xu Jiang lives in a small woodcutter's shack in the shadow of the Cathedral of Pharasma, on the Southside. His heirloom is a cold-iron chunk worth 10 gp.

Xu Jiang's Background:
Born in Willowshire to a family well known for manufacturing rice paper used by the monks of the Tan Sugi monastery. Put out of business when the monastery was abandoned, his family became poor woodcutters for the lumber industry. Jiang himself was born in 7088. The birth was difficult and his mother, Qingjin, died in the forest during childbirth. Alone and helpless, Jiang would have died if Old Matsuki had not come swiftly to the sound of cries and rescued him. That, at least, is how the tale is told in Willowshire.

Jiang remembers the day. Against all logic and reason, Jiang remembers one thing about the day of his birth. He died. But he also remembers a beautiful lady in gray that cradled him and set him down alive in the forest just before other people arrived to scoop him up.

From boyhood, Jiang has been dedicated to Pharasma and though he worked as a poor woodcutter, he devoted any spare time to learning what he could of the great goddess. He was helped considerably by the arrival of Elizeth Candora, who trained him and consecrated him a priest of Pharasma. In fact, his consecration happened only yesterday, just before the start of the Reenactment Festival.
