It was hard growing up as a stableboy's son in the tiny hamlet of Ironforge, in the land of Farnsworthington. The other children mocked you because of your glasses and asthma, but you would have the last laugh when you grew up to be a mighty Wizard! (Which you did.) As luck would have it, as you were passing through the land of Wibbleford, you stopped at the inn in the quiet hamlet of Sto Lat, and heard the local midwife talking about the ancient tomb that the town had (perhaps ill-advisedly) been built next to, and the fantastic Azure Idol of Grimtooth that was purported to be hidden there. Without bothering to ask why nobody had managed to recover it already, you set out on your very first quest. It wasn't a thing until you dropped your battleaxe in a beartrap and couldn't get it back out. Wouldn't you know it, that was when the gangsters showed up. However, you managed to overcome the odds (and your injuries), and after a lengthy crawl through a pyramid infested with badgers, you finally came upon the lair of the Fire Marquis Morgar, who was guarding the object of your quest. The evil fiend fell before your scythe, and the land was finally free of his foul shenanigans. You made your way back to civilization, and basked in the glory of your success (and the reward money).
