Personal history

Emmerich was born in Lakehaven and when he was old enough to work he helped the hunters carry game back to the village. He he later began to help skin animals and tan leather. He also helped the villagers make boots and other clothing from the leather. When he was eighteen he decided to move to Ubersreik to seek better work. He first began to assist a blacksmith as an apprentice but would always make mistakes on tempering the iron. When he would fix or make the aprons for the local blacksmiths the leather working guild was upset about him undercutting his business. After seeing that his work was passable they offered him a job as an apprentice. After a few years he had surpassed his teach in skill and become a full member of the guild. Ever since he has thrown himself fully into his work as leather worker and received great acclaim. He exists between being a master leather worker and a standard member since he does not want to take on an apprentice who does not have passion for his work while the guild master wants to make money. Emmerich cemented himself as being titled as a Master when he fixed and made fine goods for a general who was in Ubersreik to check the walls in case another war occurred. Emmerich has since been looking for a suitable apprentice to shoulder his legacy as a true master leather worker.
