Being so poor, they were forced to work for living from early childhood. Physically weak (i.e. weaker then his siblings, not really weak as far as city dwellers go) Jeremiah soon found himself working easier jobs all around village. He also took over counting of what little money their land provided and distributing their "wealth" so everybody had basics for living.His break came in form of local mage/scribe/whatever's available who noticed young boy he used as messenger never took notes and delivered even long and complex messages by memory. He also saw him several times carefully studying one of his book shelves and any open books that happened to lay around. Usualy this would mean boy was preparing to steal something, but as he was known to the man, Jeremiah was spared this suspicion and asked (after some questioning) would he be willing to learn for a scribe. He eagerly accepted and his parents were happy to have one less mouth to feed. He had given most of his income in the next few years to his family.His talent for magic was discovered accidentally when he spilled tea over some freshly aquired spell page his master wanted to scribe to his spellbook. Jeremiah was actually looking it over fascinated by complex writing of magical runes. To avoid punishment he carefuly from memory rewrote the runes hoping for the best. He succeeded and master Merek Silvercross (change name if there is NPC that fills the role in Hammlet) took him as an apprentice.After learning for several years Merek sent him ever often to fetch him this or that component, bring tome from city library and occasionaly recover something from hard to reach or dangerous places...[Bad encounter] Upon one such occasion he ran into Jades or rather they ran into him leaving a ruin having recovered family seal that Merek asked for. They were tasked with same by another sage. And they had no compulsions attacking me, taking what they needed and leaving me practicaly naked to return to Hommlet. For this I blame their de facto leader Demenis Art, charismatic priest of Savras.Items taken: cloak of resistance +1 and pearl of power.Learning from experience Jeremiah hooked up with similarly minded youngsters and formed "Justice Brigade" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> as he internaly calls his group. [Good encounter] Returning the favor, our group found Jades finishing up a dungeon. As we arrived they needed just a little bit of help from us and that was of course provided. But WE took the spoils, leaving exhausted Jade Dragoons safe and sound without anything to show for their trouble.</blockquote>
