Raised in the mountains where worth is based on skill and strength, Nagel soon learned how to catch,skin,kill, and survive in the harsh conditions of the wild. And, if it were not that he needed a new axe he would still be in those very same wilds hunting danger and courting the wild beasts. But as with all cultures who dont know forge techniques, the wild men of the mountains came down to those that do. And for that a mans heart was lost for want of an axe. A bonnie lass caught his eye who dreamed of high chant and courts, gems and gold, silk and bards. All the things which Nagel could not offer, though soft pelts of beaver, thick hide of bear, feathers of wild peacocks were all hers for the asking....it was not enough for all that he gave he got scorned, slapped, and ridacule for his efforts. Thus he finds himself needing something he never knew...
