Since the ancients first kept records scratched onto clay tablets and temples displayed their finances upon their walls, the evolution of the written word has been tied into records. You are part of the most recent incarnation of people who keep the everyday world of information and contracts moving.

Tired of working for a pittance, you informed your employers that you are leaving your boring and unfulfilling life to slay dragons and explore dungeons. Some bosses are sad to see you go but understand. Others may not be so supportive. In some cases, your leaving may not be a choice but a necessity (see the variant accountant). Whatever the reason, you are now out of the world, a sword on your belt or a spellbook in your hands, and ready for your first adventure.
