    Biography:
    Born into a family of scholars, Garrett began his life within a small forest village built around a large stone library tucked away from the main Patraeian population on the mainland. Growing up meant several hours exploring the bookshelves and tending to the farms in the village. His childhood seemed boring and mundane, stuffy by the other village kids being able to play in the woods, but to Garrett the rows of books in the library were his own trees and the family wolf was as much wildlife as he needed to enjoy himself within the library’s labyrinth. Growing up with the wolf gave rise to his nickname as pup when the wolf seemed to mother him as much as his own mother did.


    Enamoured by the knowledge within, the fledgling scholar began to worship Aestheria and vowed to make her proud for his pursuit to become a philosopher. His family mostly tended to the library, upkeeping the knowledge within and occasionally they left the village to find some new information to record and bringing others back to learn. Garrett was the exception however having never felt the calling to leave the village or to teach others.


    When news came to his village of people taking ships across to Elpida, a land of hidden knowledge and uncharted edges, Garrett finally felt the calling to travel and expand the library’s knowledge. Deciding not just to travel and learn but to expand the library to the new island, setting up a library of his own, the young librarian was given leave from his family duties and given enough coin for the passage across the ocean to start his new adventure on Elpida.


    As he travels across the ocean, he knows he must find himself a place to settle first before he can begin curating his own library, but he has a start with his prized possession, a tattered old journal belonging to the heads of his family generation to generation. Each owner gets the chance to write their life’s greatest knowledge at the end of their life within the journal and has been passed to Garrett to begin his library and, when he finally achieves recognition as a philosopher in the eyes of Aestheria, write his contribution to the Arkon family codex. The final entry from Garrett’s mother before he took the codex away read; “As long as the music of hope plays, people will keep fighting. The music comes from the connection people share within cities, villages, empires and homes. Find that music and you shall never be powerless, empty and never without guidance to the Holy Patrons.”

    Beautiful bio!

    The only issue is that your character needs a full date of birth. Once you've added that, let me know :D

    Thank you :D

    I've added a BoB, I used regular dates as I didn't see a special calendar anywhere on the wiki other than festival dates. :)

    Yup that's the dates we use. Everything apart from the year is just the same as a normal calendar.
