| In 1455, finding nothing but frustration at the forge and following on the heels of the death of his wife while giving birth to their first child, Bruster left the town of Wilhelm to seek his on fortune. He sold all of his belongings that wouldn't fit into his wagon and left after a quick goodbye to his master. He returned to his mother, giving her half of all the money he had saved up because he didn't know if he would ever be able to send her money again. Then with only a portable smithy he went in search of his own answers. | In 1455, finding nothing but frustration at the forge and following on the heels of the death of his wife while giving birth to their first child, Bruster left the town of Wilhelm to seek his on fortune.

| The life of a smith is hard on a body, and the life of a travelling one even more difficult. While his body is still strong and tough from the forge, it has begun to soften with age. Most of his hair is gone and what little remains is left in small tufts on the sides of his head. His once bright blue eyes have dulled with age and constantly rimmed in red from the smoke and ash. Pockmarks from hammer sparks and hot metal dot his upper body, while an accident at Master Jenni's anvil has left his right leg just slightly out of place. | The life of a smith is hard on a body, and the life of a travelling one even more difficult.

| His once white skin is typically covered in forge dust and even when cleaned up he is darkened from working outside so much. Bruster' speech and mannerisms are a dead giveaway that he is from a small village in southwest Dakar, but he doesn't like to talk about home so it rarely comes up. He prefers instead the life a a vagabond with no ties to hold him to any single area. | His once white skin is typically covered in forge dust and even when cleaned up he is darkened from working outside so much.

| Bruster travels around the Western lands of Dakar. He is not only a highly skilled smith, but trained as a forge magus. He still has not overcome his inability to produce works of beauty, but after so many years it no longer bothers him the way it once did. Instead, he is happy to work the forge and create anything that is far superior to others of his craft. | Bruster travels around the Western lands of Dakar.

| It would not be impossible to someone travelling through the Western Providences of Dakar and not either run into him or hear of his exploits, this is especially true if questioning other smiths or talking to the nobles that can afford his special jobs. | It would not be impossible to someone travelling through the Western Providences of Dakar and not either run into him or hear of his exploits, this is especially true if questioning other smiths or talking to the nobles that can afford his special jobs. | ||
