Most recently, you have spent a formative amount of time with Nicoril Craft, an alchemist living outside of Estalha. He took you in as an apprentice, adopted you, volunteered his home to you in your travels, or another suitable explanation. He has been one of the most supportive figures in your life, we can discuss more in detail as you make your character.

If you practice magic, Nicoril would not know how to help or want to get involved with it due to a fear of it, but one of his adopted sons, Unknown, practices magic and visits from time to time and would be someone else you would be acquainted with.

Nicoril would have been happy to teach you rudimentary alchemy if you had the interest, but also support you in other interests or hobbies. You would have met some of the villagers of Estalha as you go to sell potions with Nicoril and gather supplies, and maybe been asked to help out in the fields during harvest. You may have also accompanied him on a visit to Almaso, the largest nearby city where Cauthal resides as well as one of Nicoril's business partners, Unknown.

You would be wary of the Kobold tribe gathered in the Ulffangr Mountains near the ruined village of Seregon to the northwest, as well Fort Ulfskennar, a military encampment on the border of Ystrai.
