Peasant's Child

Your family works the lands of the local nobility and life has been hard financially but rich otherwise. You've learned what you know from your father, mother, and local priest. But it's been the old former soldier in the village who has fed your hunger for adventure with tales of mighty dragons and romance.

Your father has given you a small savings of 10 gp to put you on your way with promises to return safely with riches beyond imagining someday soon.

Farm life has taught you much though you've had only rough schooling at best. You've learned by doing and watching and that method has its rewards as much as an education from the oldest universities.
