Aldric Marren was from a small village near Ironhold. When he was young, unlike the other boys who wanted to be knights, mercenaries, or bards, he had a different ambition. He wanted to be a merchant.
He dreamed of traveling far, meeting interesting people, and selling curious things. Not only that, but merchants were the ones who made real coin."
Even as a boy, Aldric had a nose for what others wanted before they did, be it fresh goat cheese or handmade wool gloves. Small comforts no one knew they needed, until Aldric offered them.
Which seemed quite a useful skill to have, especially for someone like him, who was aspiring to be a merchant.
Aldric worked hard to get enough coin to go to the capital and register with the merchant union. He brought a few items from his hometown and went to Norvaegard's capital city, Caelhart, filled with hope for the start of his dream.
