## Richard Northburgh's History

Richard takes Origin from the Town of Kingsport, raised for the first 7 years of his life by His Father, a Farmer And his Mother, a Weaver. However, this Family would be cut short after having been strafed in an attack on the City of Kingsport, resulting in Richard's Mother being Hit and Killed by what seemed to be a Some sort of Undead Monster... Summoned by what Richard thought to be a Necromancer. Having witnessed the death of his Mother by a Creation of Necromancy and to be Raised by His Father, which viewed Nobility poorly after a Nobleman that was the previous Boss of Richard's Mother, had forced their Family into Deep Debt for the Deceased Weaver to have stopped coming to work, despite knowing she had died.

Thus, Richard is known to have a Grudge for Pomptious Nobelmen that think they can do whatever they want, despite knowing they are in the wrong.

However, with this Serious Debt, came necessity. Richard and his Father were Impoverished and their Lands Reduced to fractures of what they used to be before Richard's Mother had died, due to Lourt (Richard's Father) being forced to sell his Fields in order to keep bringing food to the table during a harsh winter. Richard was raised a Poor Farmer's Boy, Malnourished and in bad Conditions... but just enough to live.

Richard, once having grown older, saw fit to serve within one of the kingdom's Branches, with the goal of lifting and easing off the debt that had been layed upon Richard's Dads Shoulders. Thus, Richard joined the Civic Guard at the age of 18. Richard, having worked on his Dad's farm for most of his life, felt it easy to join and he even exceeded some other fellow recruits that decided to join the Civic Guard, as he was a very strong man.

Since Richard has begun serving as a civic guard, he has now done so for many years and his father's debt had been relinquished by now, but rather than quitting, Richard Stayed. Richard wanted to work himself up, without Fancy Magic to help him, to Proof to those Pomptious Nobelmen that even a Commoner like Himself could Achieve and reach greatness! And since then, Richard continues to serve within the Civic Guard and doesnt seem to want to step down either.

Richard would make his first encounter with 'fame' after an incident involving Aerynor II Ocethion, a minor count of the House of Ocethion, who, after failing to tame a dragon, attempted to murder another person, which attempted to tame the same Dragon. However, the Nobleman would experience an altercation with a Nearby Civic Guard; Richard Northburgh, who held him back and after having a blade pointed at him, arrested the Count for Good. Richard would become known amongst the peoples of Agriosa for standing up to the Count's attempts at underminding the common Laws.

Richard has very recently overstepped the expectation of any normal Armsmaster, after assisting the Queen herself and a party of Councilmen and Assassins on a mission to recapture the Capital City, where Richard had proven a capable fighter more than twice as he was put to fight against a Knight that used what seemed to be enchanted magic in his advantage, but despise this, Richard and the Assassin that joined this party managed to defeat the knight with combined forces.

After Richard's Heroic Acts in the face of great injury and loss, he was recommended and ultimately granted a promotion to the Rank of Sergeant. Richard is now thriving to become a Lieutnenant within the Civic Guard, Which would grant him the title of being an Officer, which was one of Richard's initial goals, as those positions are usually reserved to Nobles.

In the Year of 1495 DR, After Lyhnn (Penny) Holzhausen was exiled for treason, Richard would take up her Position as Master of Defense, Thus Ascending from the Rank of Sergeant of the Civic Guard, to Member of the Advisory Council. He has now begun an Era of Reform regarding the Structure of the Chambers of Defense and the Civic Guard.
