Background

You find yourself in a relatively rural and agrarian region of the Lands of Arathem. Not much happens out here but its been stable and safe. The Lands of Arathem are surrounded on one side by mountains, and on the other bounded by the Dull Sea. The geography is perhaps largely responsible for the region's security and isolation.

The local area, the farming community that the locals call Gloh, fits into the foothills of the towering Morkhen Mounts. These foothills are the Gloom Hills. Its decent farming country, though its been dry for quite some time. Not quite draught but its hardly a farming gold rush either. Tall dry grasses, sometimes 8 feet tall, ripple in the wind that blows over hills where the occasional copse of deciduous trees breaks up the horizon. Its pretty open country. Plenty of farms spread over the landscape.

But maybe its too safe. Maybe the life of a farmer isn't the life for you. Maybe you've met your inspiration. Time for a change. Time to find your destiny... whatever that might be.
