Early life: Drake Von Marux started his life in a small village within the nation of ~redacted~. Having a relatively normal life, he decided to sign up for the army at the age of 17, leaving his family for a new life. He would spend 4 years in service to his nation, not seeing active combat, before retiring at 21. Claiming that he has seen corruption from the ~redacted~ government, he has since forswore his loyalty to the state and set off into the world as a nomad. With only the clothes on his back, Drake traveled across the continent until he came across what appeared to be an abandoned settlement.

Settling down: Upon entering the settlement, it was clear it had been long since abandoned. The houses, the farm, and the fort were all empty and evidently hadn't been used in quite some time. After Drake was finished, he thought about whether or not this place was worth the effort. After careful consideration, he decided then this was an excellent place to settle down despite the work ahead of him. He would call his new home Ashbourne. Drake started with the fortress, spending days repairing and finishing what the previous owner hadn't. Once done, it was clear that the fort was too small, and so he began to expand the walls, making an attempt to turn the fortress into a proper castle. What he didn't count on was that he'd discover a forge with a book in its center. (see Reingard page)
