Early Life

Samuel Bealcrest was born in 1305 as the son of a traveling blacksmith in the city of Sargoth within the Kingdom of Oren. While still very, his father was killed by Dwarven mercenaries on business trip to Malinor. Without any other skills imparted onto him by his father, he continued his family's business as a blacksmith under the care of his mother. Over the years he was able to hone his skills, earning local renown within Sargoth as an expert blacksmith. His craft also allowed him the opportunity to master how to use a blade, of which he made many. He was also noted as being exceptionally proficient in armor smithing and earned a name for himself by producing great quantities of chainmail that was often used against the Undead incursions in the North of Oren.

As he grew older and the threat of the Undead intensified, he was forced to take up arms in defense of his home. Eventually joining ranks with the local militia stationed in Sargoth, The Nords. He worked for a number of years as the dedicated blacksmith but sooner took on more leadership and administrative roles within the group. At the age of 20 he ascended to the position of Chief Warlord of The Nords, leading expeditions into the wild North in search of Undead staging positions. However, the constant aggression of the Undead proved to be more than what The Nords could handle and after a number of years the settlement of Sargoth began to wither. It was in the year 1325 that Samuel encountered Gaius Marius of the Teutonic Order, striking up a deal to merge their forces to better fight against the encroaching Undead.
