Editing Spring of Hubris Varius History (section)

=== Years 6-11 ===

As Bertran grew up, his Gift manifested itself. He lost what friends he had, and his father began to keep him at home and out of public view. Bored at with little to do, Bertran spent most of his time watching his father work, until the latter started to train him in earnest in hopes of keeping him out of trouble. His father was unsurprised that he showed great skill in smithing - it was in the blood, after all. In addition to blacksmithing, Bertran picked up enough woodworking to fashion a hilt, enough leatherworking to fashion straps, and enough patience to keep at work. Bertran worked on these skills in his own time, improving them beyond the basics. He finds crafting fun, and in any case since his father never let him out of the house he had nothing really else to do. He seemed to be on track to becoming a reclusive village craftsman, unliked but at least respected, when he was scouted for apprenticship.
