You are the child of famed adventurers Garic and Illyana Stoutshield. Sadly, they disappeared while hunting down a band of monsters near your village (perhaps they were rusty after a couple years of retirement?). You were subsequently reared by their friends and former adventuring colleagues, Gringus and Lorena Kneecapper. On a farm in the border town of Daelen's grove (on the edge of the Moravian Empire), you were taught how to farm, milk cows, gather eggs, hunt boar, hide in shadows, use all manner of weaponry, handle powerful magics, etc. Y'know, the basic things most farmers need to know if they plan on going out and laying waste to the goblin hordes. Today is your birthday, and not just any birthday. No, today is the day you come of age. It's very exciting. All you have to do is complete a few chores and get your birthday presents, then maybe hear a family secret or two...assuming all hell doesn't break loose first, but that'll NEVER happen.

The merits of this module really do outweigh the shortcomings and it is recommended for those who wish to experience an innovative and captivating journey.
