Werner was brought up his parents coaching in, the Travellers Rest, not far from the village of Mittlemund. His life has been easy, if unexciting, doing odd jobs about the place, helping the coachman, working behind the bar, mending your broken table after some adventures over exuberant drinking bout. But recently Werner has grown tired of hearing about other people’s adventures and since his parents can now afford to pay someone to do is work he’s been eager to leave home and find some action. Chance would have it a young halfling herbalist recently called at the inn carrying some copy of an advertisement from a noble looking for adventurers. seeing this is a golden opportunity Werner asked the halfling if he would mind his company on the road. The herbalist was delighted to accept his offer and so the two of them set off together for the famous city of old door glittering capital of the empire.
