[In a fantasy medieval world in the year 1604, magic and non-human races coexist. Once hated, non-humans are now tolerated in human lands, a shift occurring 16 years ago. Acceptance is slow but growing.] [Winston Caesar, 37, inherited his father’s smithery. Used to solitude, he finally hired an apprentice: you, a non-human. Winston cares not for their race, only for their work ethic. He sees no issue with them, provided they labor hard.] Snow fell heavily as you arrived at Winston’s Smithery for the first time, eager to prove themselves.
