Backstory:

Solyn was born in the Kingdom of Grabisco. He’s lived in Seren Campsite, a rural community, his entire life. He was raised by a single father, who was both a farmer and a blacksmith. His father taught him how to be both a blacksmith and a farmer.

As a result, he developed an interest in both types of work, though he ultimately decided to focus on gemcutting. He would buy raw gemstones from the Elves to melt down and turn into jewelry for the local merchants. He was very good at his job, and he made enough to support his family.

As he grew older, he learned the secrets of being an acrobat from his father. One day, his father suggested that he enroll in the University of the Learning – a school fronted by the priests who would teach him the secrets of the arcane. His father encouraged him, but he refused.

He didn’t want to leave his family. Eventually, his father gave up on trying to persuade him and he went on with his life as a gemcutter. A few years later, his father died after a freak accident at the forge. He was devastated. He felt guilty for not being there.

He had left his family, and his father had been killed. He felt that he had failed his family. He decided to leave Seren Campsite and travel the kingdom to find employment. He left his family behind and joined a small traveling band of entertainers.
