: Great war. His two older brothers were killed in the
: war against Soulblighter. I'll come up with names if
: necessary.
: Henrik was too intellectually curious to be happy among
: the berserks, so he went south to Muirthemne to seek
: his fortune. There, he studied smithery, which is what
: he did at home, and history.
: He met up with Derrin and Ori (married couple, btw) two
: dwarven smiths in their mid-sixties who are among
: those favoring dropping all the magic and explosives
: and going back to the good ol' days of axes and mail.
: THe rest is as per my previous description.
If you gave the above background in alone, I would be happy! It gives me an idea about this person, and shows that he hasn't had a particularly fun life but wants to go adventuring! Good! Everyone else take this as a good exmaple of a short yet big enough background.
