Torsten Salverston

Early days
Born in Riverheim to a soldier Torsten's life was never easy, while his father and all men were out plundering the world, Torsten had to be the man of the village.

Most days he helped out widows of men who had died in battle, other days he sat by the mountain's edge looking over the water, wondering what his father was doing at this moment.

Coming of age (age 16)
With Torsten becoming a man he thought that his father would take him to the battlefield. His father rebuked him off saying that a man like Torsten is better off staying in the village then to come with him. Torsten spent years training for his father's approval, and to finally fight side by side with him, yet his father rebuked him everytime, all the while his peers are mocking him and making fun of him, Torsten kept this up for 7 years until...... (age 23)

He left, in the dead of night he woke up his mother, gave her a kiss on the cheek and a present and left, he swore that he will return one day stronger, but for now he will follow the sea until he sees land. Torsten spent months at sea, wondering if this was the right thing to do, but wonder no more he came across land, a large village he said, once he landed he was greeted by soldiers pointing spears and swords at him, he put his hands up in a manner that said "i bring no danger" yet the soldiers were still wary, and an old woman from the village said with a heavy accent "I know this boy" a soldier looked at the woman and said "You do?" The woman answered him "He's the boy i keep talking about when i lived in Riverheim" The soldiers lowered their weapons. The woman took Torsten in and showed him around the city. Torsten had never seen so many people in one place. The woman told him he had landed in the land of the Grand Duchy of Samora. Torsten stayed in Samora learned new tricks and skills, until he received a message from his father on his death bed.

Fathers last wish
It said "Son im dying and the only thing i want is to see you one last time, forgive me for everything i've done i simply tried to protect you from the world outside, i didn't want to see you die at a early age." That is when Torsten decided to return home to Riverheim.
