[The City of Sanctuary – POV of a Shop owner living in the city of Sanctuary.]
Torvin Copperhand sat at the front counter of his big shop, trying to get his head into the ledger books, but his mind was just too distracted.
He was a commoner, born right in this town when it was barely established. His mother, a simple seamstress, had one of the only shops in the newborn town at that time. Back then, the town was still being built by the first Keeper, Lady Einar, and the daughter of the Elf Queen. They were still part of Ashenvale.
It was an odd thing, his mother always said—that such a town was being built in the middle of nowhere. Even the King of Ashenvale could not deny the First Keeper's claim on the land and had to accept this one oddity in the country of tradition and discipline. The condition was that as long as Ashenvale remained, this one town would belong to Lady Einar, and she would protect all those who entered her town's borders.
