Backstory
Kurt Luxman grew up in a mountain village known for its mining called Iron-wake far north of the city of Comets rest with his parents’ Grey and Victoria.

His father owned the village forge where Kurt would become an apprentice at the age of 8. A frequent customer of his father’s forge was a dark elf from deep in the mountains called Talben Morel who would always appear hooded and in the evening just before closing. Young Kurt would enjoy the stories of adventure that Talben told and started dreaming about becoming an adventure himself.

When Kurt was 12 he started to teach himself how to use the weapons he forged at night in secret. He would constantly question Talben to learn all that he could about the outside world having never left the area around the village, He even got Talben to teach him Undercommon so he could read the books Talben would occasionally have on him.

One unfortunate night Talben was stopped by the guards in the middle of the village and forced to remove his hood revealing himself as a dark elf, the guards immediately turned hostile towards him and chased the man out while nearby villagers threw stones and slurs towards him.

Kurt was horrified by this not understanding why they would treat him like this. Later that night his Father explained it was because he was a dark elf and that he had only done business with him because he paid well and he only tolerated him at best. He then lectured Kurt about how other races weren’t to be trusted and for the most part avoided.

Disgusted by this and believing his people were wrong about other races he decided he would leave his village to follow his dream of being an adventurer and to learn more of the other races and the world. When he was 18 after years training and months of forging equipment in secret, he left his village without saying his goodbyes and headed in to the mountains. He would take jobs from villages on his travels to earn money for supplies and food, earning himself a small reputation for dealing with local problems such as wolves, goblins and even managing to take down a highwayman. After taking his pay he continues on to the next village hoping to encounter a certain hooded friend.
