Persona

Richard is a wandering bard in mid 14th century England. Born a commoner, he trained with the longbow as a child and served in the battles of Crecy and Poitiers, before returning home to a life he barely remembered. Unable to commit to the tedium of farming, he took up the path of the troubadour, wandering the countryside, playing music at inns and taverns. A love of beauty in his heart and a desire to leave the horrors of war behind, he embraces all things that make the world a bit more wonderful in which to live.
