-[Insert short paragraph about the setting and backstory bits]
+Our adventurers' humble beginnings take place in the Promethean Reach. This
+land holds many peoples, from the kind-hearted and generally
+culinarily-inclined Halflings, to the proud Dwarves in their mighty dwarfholds,
+to the somewhat secretive Elves in their forest enclaves.
+
+The Reach takes its name from Prometheus, Life-Giver. This massive tree,
+visible from miles upon miles away, has stood watch over this region since time
+immemorial.
### Players and Characters
-[Insert list of players, character names/aliases, basic information here]
+<div class="wrap">
+<h4><u>Tygbar "Tyg" Frostbeard</u></h4>
+<p><strong>Player:</strong> Jake</p>
+<p><strong>Race:</strong> Dwarf</p>
+<p><strong>Class:</strong> Wizard</p>
+<p>
+<strong>Backstory:</strong>
+Tygbar grew up in the slums outskirting the Dwarven stronghold
+known as Severgard and was taken in by Qualen Quillsharpener—a Gnome wizard who
+promised an apprenticeship to Tygbar—after noticing Tygbar's unique magical
+abilities for a Dwarf. However, Tygbar mostly ended up doing menial chores and
+was never directly taught by Qualen only ever learning things in passing and
+through reading Qualen's notes. One day, Qualen was attacked in his tower by an
+Orcish raid which Tygbar tried to stop but was too late. Now Tygbar is left to
+fend for himself carrying only basic supplies, Qualen's spellbook which he now
+uses as his own, and a magically sealed letter from Qualen addressed to him.

+<h4><u>Five</u></h4>
+<p><strong>Player:</strong> Dan</p>
