The small village of Hillbend was utterly unremarkable. Proving to be a small farming hamlet, but near enough to a lake to provide some decent fishing as well. The Duke caring little for it's inhabitants, provided they continue to pay their taxes. But none-the-less, Hillbend is where our tale begins with the birth of a girl named Abigail.
Born to a couple of farmers, Abigail grew up in relative peace, the occasional pig fence breaking or bar fight at the tavern in town. By the time she was 14, war had broken out between the Duke and a nearby Baroness, meaning the guards were pulled from quiet little Hillbend as well as many of the men of fighting age, including Abigail's father. A year later, the war still raging, her mother passed from fever, leaving Abigail alone. But in this loneliness, a power grew within her, an arcane power she was ultimately unfamiliar with.
As this power grew, she knew she must do something with it and after leaning to channel a couple basic spells, she set out on 20th birthday to finally become the hero the village of Hamlet needed. With the absence of any kind of guards or militia, the town had become more and more dangerous. Bandits patrolled the bridge out of town, leaving them stranded, while food started to run low in town. Something needed to be done to at least open the road, lest the town starve come winter.
But the question still remains, how did Abigail spend those last few years, what impact has she had on the community up to this point?
