| It was hard growing up as a midwife's son in the tiny hamlet of Buttole, in the land of Wibbleshire. 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.) You rode into the city of Pinochle, and met a shadowy stranger in a hooded cloak who was sitting in the corner of the local bar. He told you about the legendary Azure Moose of Eggshire, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient tower near the village of Klatch, and promised you a hefty fee if you could bring it to him. Figuring he wouldn't offer you the quest if it weren't level-appropriate, you readily agreed. At first it was a real breeze, but then you wandered into a room totally full of gypsies, plus a weretiger, which is weird because you would have figured they'd have killed each other. They made a pretty good attempt at killing you, though. However, you knew you'd never be a mighty adventurer if you let a little setback like that stop you, and damned if you were going to end up a tavernkeep in some crummy backwater like Phlegm or Foobar. So you pressed onward until you discovered the lair of the Devil Knight Grimtooth, and after a long and dramatic battle you successfully put an end to his evil ways. And then you looted the hell out of his hideout.
