WD: Alright, quick points to make a more elaborated background. I think Erik and Petron should be twins. I'll be fun
Mayor points: Both grew up in a rural area. Petron stayed home while Erik went to wizard school. Both joined the army afterwards after their adventorous wishes were spoiled. Erik found this new contact, and as their army terms expired, they joined with Lia and Krawlinstar, in the hopes that this time, more experienced and with more arms, their search for glory would find purchase.
Petron's tale:
When Erik went to the wizard's school, Petron spent his time on the farm, working the land, and learning the craft of his father. He never had the mind awareness of his brother, and thus could not follow him to the wizard's school. However, farm work was also not for Petron. He son get bored with that life, and decided to start a warrior's life, like his uncle did. With his savings, he bought an battleaxe. Armed with that, the soon-to-be warrior wandered around the rural area looking for a job suited to his new set of skill. Working the land surely gave him the muscles he needed, but coordination was everything for a warrior, he had to "think quick" as his brother did. A couple of years as thug, pursing local thieves, even trying to drive off a small band of goblins, gave Petron the profile and skill he needed to look for adventure! And also, Erik was about to finish his studies. As they were twins, thinking alike was a matter of fact for the Apeldan brothers, and soon both sought to find glory and wealth following the path of adventure. However, their lack of experience and the pure misfortune almost get them both killed in the lair of a powerful monster, in the outskirts of the capital city.
The army offered quick a good chance for the brothers to make money and train their skills and so both joined.
You get to type your time in the school and the end part when our characters meet Lia and Krawlinstar and head to the Rushing Boar.
