Not all Heroes start their journey as a Noble Paladin, as a Masterful Wizard, a Skillful Rogue, or as a Wise Druid, some stories tell of the Common Man's rise to Strength.
In a City in the only Nuetral Ground of a Racial War, lies a melting pot of races, where peace amoung the kind is upheld. All were interested as a Wandering Bard strode into the open center of the City streets, and spun a tale of a man who wrought this War, an Evil Man. But, the Bard's tale mentioned of a Prophecy, fortelling heroes would arise, from unexpected people, within this city. You are a Commonfolk, about to be changed, about to rise to great strengths, end this War, and destroy the Evil.
