[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 192664, member: 926"] He's that old guy, out on the edge of town, that's 80 years old and has 12 kids. He's been farming since he was 6. He survived the drought 60 years ago when his father died, and kept the farm going to become the biggest in the region. Then he got called up in the peasant levy in the little war a few decades ago, and came back 5 years later to find his wife gone ad his farm desrtoyed. He rebuilt, working as a hired hand on another farm, married again, and had more kids. Then he heard about this new place out on the frontier where they were offering plots of land to anyone willing to work it. He set out with his family, and struggled through 20 years of farming hard soil and orc raids. His farm began to prosper despite the awful land, and he expanded it. Then, a few years later, a competitor bought out all the surrounding land and tried to force him to sell, but he stayed at it, and eventually came up with a new strain of corn able to thrive in the bad soil. He forced the competitor out of business and bought his land, eventually owning the largest farm in the kingdom. The king himself awarded him a medal for his perseverence, and he finally retired and left the farm to his kids to handle. Now he's the richest commoner in the kingdom. That workable? [/QUOTE]
