; BACKGROUND

''Liam's homeland is the farther, northern side of the Randarclaim Mountains. There, kilt-clad crofters  dwell on foggy mountainsides, herding hairy cattle and dodging the hill giants that roam there. He is an initiate of the '''Wizards' Staves''', a bodyguard retained by the theocracy of Wizards. They are famed for their ability to fight without armour and even, if required, weapons. The order is feared by the lawless because of their perceptiveness of mischief in anyone coming near to them.''

Liam was born to a simple farmer family. He grew up under the tutelage of his father, a retired veteran who had seen enough combat and wanted a peaceable life. He is of average height for a human, being 6'1" and athletically built, being lean and lithe.

Liam learned competence at simple combat and showed a propensity for some natural stealth and would accompany his father on hunting trips. As Liam was nearing adulthood his mother took hill and died, leaving his father a broken man who took too much to his drink. One day a small retinue of Wizards Staves  [EDIT by DF: changed to Wizards' Staves-my 'tweak' about  druids was to change them to Wizards !]  under the guidance of the local deon passed in the near village as Liam was looking to find work. They took a liking to the young man and said he showed promising skill for combat and a right attitude despite having no gift in hermetics. He was offered a training position in the sect's body guards, The Wizards' Staves, which became the first step on his journey into a different life.

An initiate of the Wizard's Staves, a company of elite fighters who defend the ruling theocracy of wizards.
