Chapter 1

Gazru was born in Galadon to hard working parents who had fled the northern
mountains south, in hopes of a better life away from the turmoils of war. His
mother and father, once devout royal guards for the King of all cloud giants,
were capable fighters, but had learned to appreciate peace. When his mother
became pregnant with Gazru, they laid down their weapons and moved to Galadon
where commerce was good and jobs were plentiful. Both of them were adept with
many weapons, so they got jobs working for the foreman Tarus in the lumberyard
cutting down trees and refining the lumber for sale to the city. They worked
hard and kept their heads down, caring only for the future of Gazru. Gazru
grew up working in the lumberyard as well, but was not a lumberjack himself.
Instead, he found himself adept with hammers working the forge and smithing
axes for his parents and the other lumberjacks to use. He was good at his job,
and he excelled to the point of becoming the head smith in the lumberyard. As
he grew up into a young adult, he met a woman that took his heart and within a
year, they were married. They in turn had a son, and his parents were
delighted to have a grandchild. Gazru was happy, he had a family and was a
simple giant with a simple life. He had everything he needed in his family,
and enjoyed the work he did. The simple life suited him well.
