From the realm of Torgovann, the Forge of Starlight.

For as long as anyone can remember the Valaka family had been smiths. Usco's two older brothers were both journeyman smiths while Usco was in charge of quality. Every blade or spear that left their family forge was inspected, wielded and thoroughly tested by Usco himself. All the time spent wielding weapons had made him both agile and hard as rock.

Usco was hand picked by the Lord of Torgovann to be trained for the secret Royal football team, to be revealed on the becoming of age of the youngest prince. Usco's nomination had already brought great honor to the Valaka family. Hopefully his time on the field would do the same.
