| It was hard growing up as a barber's son in the tiny hamlet of Dropseat, in the land of Hambonia. The other children mocked you because of your glasses and asthma, but you would have the last laugh when you grew up to be a mighty Wizard! (Which you did.) You rode into the city of Harlequinhawk, and met a shadowy stranger in a hooded cloak who was sitting in the corner of the local bar. He told you about the legendary Diamond Beetle of Cavill, which is rumored to be hidden in an ancient strip mall near the village of Ironforge, and promised you a hefty fee if you could bring it to him. Figuring he wouldn't offer you the quest if it weren't level-appropriate, you readily agreed. Everything was going great until you got attacked by more thieves than you could handle. You were lucky to get out of there with your calf intact! But, unwilling to let that keep you from glory, you gritted your teeth and wielded your morningstar, and cut your way through the hordes of gypsies that stood between you and your goal. At last you found the lair of Shadow Sorcerer Badfella, who quite unexpectedly turned out to be your long-lost roommate, but you killed the hoser anyway. And thus was the land freed from tyranny, and you earned yourself a fat reward!
