Aggy grew up in a far-off wasteland. Her tribe lived as nomads, searching for food and sometimes stripping the dehydrated dead of their belongings. That's where she got her 'hammer and shield.

One day Aggy was scavenging when she saw a bright flash in a nearby canyon. Before she knew it, a blast of magic hit her like a Daddy Orc who'd been drinking. She woke up with a bigger brain and the power to Do Things. Things That Involved Magic.

She learned a few tricks from her tribe's shaman before they were attacked by a rival tribe. Aggy had magic, so she survived. The death of their shaman meant that her fellow tribespeople didn't, so they didn't. Aggy's been wandering the world doing jobs as they come for a while now. Her latest one is guard duty on a farm near Hommlett.

Locations

Hommlett The Village of Hommlett - or merely Hommlett, as it is commonly called, is situated in the central part of the Flanaess, that portion of western Oerik continent known as civilized. The hamlet sized village (local parlance having distinguished it with the greater term) is located some 10 leagues south east of he town of Verbobonc, or thereabouts, on the fringe of the territory controlled by the noble Lord the Viscount of Verbobonc. It is at a crossroads.

Hommlett grew from a farm or two, a rest house, and a smithy. The roads brought a sufficient number of travelers and merchant wagons to attract traders and artisans to serve those passing through. The rest house became a thriving inn, and a wheel & wainwright settled in the thorp. More farmers ands herdsmen followed, for grain was needed for the passing animals, and meat was in demand for the innfolk.

Today, Hommlett is still a small, but thriving village. It has a few retired adventurers who were attracted by the aftermath of the fall of the Temple, but for the most part the villagers are simple farmers and craftsmen. They primarily follow the Old Ways (druidic faith), but there is a small church to St. Cuthbert and several villagers worship there.
