You have spent your early years of life training to enter knighthood, however, for whatever reason you never became a knight. Your days were long, filled with training in combat and in the mind. Learning much, from how to accurately shoot a bow, to riding horseback, to cutting down a man, to identifying herbs, your education was more than any local farmer's boy.
