He was taught in many things he would need in any line of work he might want to take up, or so his family thought at the time. When he was old enough to learn a trade he was put to work as a clerk in one of his family's shops, a pawn shop to be exact.Heirmund did quite well there but felt unfulfilled. Heirmund spent all his free time tryingto find some other proffesion. He eventually decided to apprentice to an alchemist who lived in the city a began learning that proffesion. Over the next 8 years Heirmund worked very hard and not only at the craft of alchemy but at learning spells from his master.Heirmund found he despised spells that dealt with the very essence of life and the flashyspells some of the alchemist's other apprentices liked. He developed quite a bit of skillat creating illusions. Once Heirmund's time as an apprentice was over he went back to work for his family making various alchemical item's. After a time he grew bored of simply creating these item's like some kind of factory. Heirmund's family could not understand their son's need for something more, in their mind he had everything a gnome could want, rich men would be knocking on his door soon if he made a good name for himself.Heirmund found all the prospects his family told him about utterly dull. He wanted something more than a life of work in a lab spent for nothing. Heirmund couldn't put his finger on what he *did* want to do but he was sure it wasn't what he was doing now.(I'm thinking here may be a good link to one of the other characters. They might come in for some supply's after they are adventurers or some such. And Heirmund would finally figure out what it was he wanted to do that was more exciting than what he was doing now. That's just a basic idea that might work I'm not all that attached to it so If someone wants to work out a common background we can make it go further back than that.)</blockquote>
