Zambuk was born in Orkeany, a small town at the marshland tip of the Trifolianda peninsula. With Lake Komla as good as surrounding the town at all sides but the thin strip of marshlands all the way to the Dreko Rough-lands.

The environment was as good as everyone, be they fishermen, boatmen or dockworkers, or craftsmen or traders of various sorts. Because it had become a natural reloading and trade hub, due to the short distance to the eastern shore, the caravans from Ebrar, Kustu, and Gaslug saw fit to cut Lake Komla.

Zambuk showed an interest in the crafts at an early age, and he mixed childhood with learning several of the craft basics. As he came of age, he was apprenticed to three different masters, already a Novice by knowledge but still too young to wander as a Journeyman. Instead, he spread his wings further, and at 16, he had a handful of Novice chips on his shoulder.

In 1208, he decided to up his skills and went to Ladii, the capital of Ladris. There he stayed for 10 years, working with so many residents and travelling craftsmen that he passed all Journeyman tests and became Chief in all 5 branches.

With the spring of 1218 bringing the last recognition of skill, he did an early celebration of his 30th birthday and left the capital the next day. While travelling up Ladris, he passed by his town of birth and greeted his family. A week later, he continued eastward across Lake Komla to the mountain town of Cypril laying at the border to Gaslug.

There, he searched for and found Da'Vey, a famed Blacksmith, Alchemist, and Mechanization person. Together, they invented several things during the summer, and in the autumn, Herdsman came to Cypril as well. And in the next two years, they shared knowledge and greatly improved their skills.

In 1221, Zambuk left Cypril and travelled to Tornix. and after spending the winter there, he went on a nine-year journey as a journeyman and chief skill-honing traveller across all islands.

And in 1230, he came back to Ladii and bought a workshop. In 5 years, he completed all 5 branches of crafting as master while working for customers. In 1235, he was thus ready to work himself into the rank of Lord in all 5 branches, and with the Crafting Guild examination papers, he bought the houses and workshops next door. Then he took the allowed five apprentices in each branch and started to supply the capital with items, tools, and wonders.

I’ve heard that during his time trying to become crafter Lord, both Amras, Nahita, and Tuuna passed by his furnaces.

During this time, he also rose through the social ranks and gained wealthy and powerful friends, yet he stayed apart from the small war leading up to the founding of The Realm and the crowning of the High King. But when The Great Invasion came, He joined the fight against traitors and Invader.

As Ladii was sacked during the war, he now travels the paths and ends the lives of every enemy he meets.
