All your life, you dreamed of becoming an adventurer. A powerful magician, a brave archer, a strong knight. Or perhaps not an adventurer, but at least a blacksmith or doctor. Maybe something practical in advertising. Heck, even retail wouldn't have been too bad. A cashier, even, would have done. Well, you attempted to become one of these. But you failed.
So, there you sit, doomed to be a farmer (at best) for the rest of your life, constantly bored. Then, you received a letter.
Dear _________,
I am The Flute Player. You may have heard tales of me, my great feats, my noble deeds. Many, I'm afraid, are far from true. However, I still preform dangerous task and need young, daring men and women such as yourself to help me as I age. You, along with some others, have been asked to meet me at Wind's Helmet by the end of the week in order to make arrangements for you to become my apprentices. I'm warning you, though. The task is difficult and dangerous. Bring any possessions you want with you.
Sincerely,
The Flute Player
The Flute Player? Incredible! The Flute Player is a legend! The bravest swordsmen, wizards, and mages you've met speak about him with fearful voices. However, what he does, exactly, is a mystery. Some claim he is simply a particularly skilled swordsman, who got his name for his flute playing hobby. However, many agree that he has learned some sort of odd magic that perplexes even the greatest of wizards. Reports speak of his ability to destroy and create towns full of people and goblins, how that, with the flick of his wrist, a giant's bones will become powder and the giant will melt through the ground.
You will have to travel from your home town to meet him at Wind's Helmet. A
Alright, alright, I suppose I should tell you a little bit about this magical world.
