Events are usually short, defining moments of your Hero's past, such as your family being slaughtered, saving someone's life from an incorrect execution, or a defending your home from bandits. Your GM determines how many Events each Hero has at Level 1, but usually each Hero has 3. Some Kin options, such as Ancient Elven Lineage, or certain Experiences might increase the number of Events your character experiences. You and other Heroes might gain more Events as the campaign continues.
