Introductory Heading

Introduction to the Party
Ander met the party at a tavern, in Port Pubato. After introductions were made, he decided to join up with them. As someone who knows what it's like to be underestimated by society, Ander has a soft spot for the other members of the party. Shortly after joining, he decided to train the goblin, Pong, as a squire.

Background
Ander Brightwood is the fifth and youngest child of the Royal Brightwood Family and a member of House Brightwood of Reodor. He has two older brothers and two older sisters. All of his older siblings were teens when Ander was born.

It was due to the age gap that Ander would grow up on his own, as his siblings were usually not around. They were usually busy being groomed for Nobility. They would look after him from time to time as would other members of the house. Unfortunately, royal affairs held little interest for Ander.

While Ander was growing up, he would often spend time in the royal library. There, he would read many books recounting the exploits of great heroes and villains of the realm. Ander was so inspired by these books, he decided he wanted to go out into the world and do something with his life. When Ander turned 18, he left the Castle, and squired up with a Paladin of Herault named, Darvin Tallstag. He traveled and trained with Darvin for five years. Recently, he swore his Sacred Oath and has struck out on his own,  defending the people of the land from evil.

To protect the weak and helpless,

To always be truthful,

As witnessed, by Sir Darvin Tallstag and the Divine Knight-Protector, Herault,

I, Ander Brightwood, take my Oath.
