You are at home when at work, nothing is more calming or satisfying than making something with your hands. You learned much as your time as an apprentice but it could not last forever so you're taking your trade to next level.

How did you come across the apprenticeship? Were your parents poor and sold you to a local blacksmith? Was one of your parents your teacher? Were you a rich noble that took up a trade as a hobby?
