Background/History:Rhoden was born in the village of Veidar in the Kingdom of Rhodoks, his mother was a tailor, and his father was King Graveth's Royal Master Smith, he spent his childhood in Veidar until his father took him in as an apprentice in his smithy. Rhoden's early years as an apprentice were difficult, he constantly tried to gain his father's respect and approval but failed, this lead to him continually trying to better himself at his craft, and eventually surpassing even his father at the age of 21.
At the age of 21, Rhoden by now having learned all the tricks of the trade, knew how to smith just as well as his father, but his domineering and arrogant father would not allow a mere apprentice to present his craft. Rhoden thus took it upon himself to one night switch a freshly forged suit of plate armor for King Graveth, with one of his own crafting. When the couriers picked up the suit and presented it to King Graveth, he clearly noticed the far more impressive than usual, masterwork quality suit of armor presented to him. Graveth had his men ask around, and he discovered that it was Rhoden who had crafted the armor. Doubly impressed by the young age of the smith, Graveth relieved Rhoden's father and offered Rhoden the position of Royal Master Smith, Rhoden gladly accepted.
His father disgruntled over the dishonour, committed suicide, and with nobody to provide for his aging mother in Veidar Rhoden took it upon himself to do so, but despite his best efforts and the care of Graveth's personal physicians, she too passed away soon after. Rhoden was now aged 28 and had his career set for him, but the one thing he did not have was a family and happiness, thus having lost all semblance of love and joy he immersed himself in his work with a demonic obsession which furthered the skill of his craft to renowned levels.
Rhoden toiled at his craft with furious obsession and discipline, he would often spend days holed within the smithy perfecting a single work, forgetting to eat, forgetting to sleep and not talking to people, his general reclusiveness and obsession for his work caused him to develop much of a fear for anything outside his smithy, he despised nature and wild creatures, but at the same time he was greatly drawn to fire due to having spent so much time near the forge.
At the age of 32 Rhoden's crafts were known all throughout Calradia, and even Warlords, Nobles and Kings from other lands revered his crafted weapons and armors as exquisite goods. Rhoden by this time had managed to acquire a leave of absence from Graveth, as he had trained all the younger apprentices in the smithy to sufficient standards, he now desired to wander the world furthering his craft and spreading his renown.
Rhoden wandered the lands, until he chanced upon a city known as New Zendar, eager to let the word of his craft be known, he set forth to speak to the local lord about his work.
