Derk Gemfield

Derk Gemfield is a human farmer of the southern pastures of the greenfields.

He was born in 1435 DR in the farm of his father. His father died of sickness when he was 19 and he inherited the farm.

He was born a fragile man both in body and in spirit, who never stop hoping that one day the tide of his fate would turn to his favour.

During a trip in the small city of Greenest, he was attacked by thugs who beat him until Nafa Silverhand intervened and saved him out of pity.

She carried him back to his farm and promised to visit him again.

Derk kept farming and welcoming Nafa on her returns and after three years they decided to marry each other.

While Nafa, who stopped being a paladin, was carring her first child, a strange forester appeared at the door of the farm and offered a strange gem to Derk, suggesting him to plant it.

Their had their firstborn, a daughter, in the early summer of the year 1465 DR.

Derk followed the stranger council and sewed the gem in the field. Soon after a strange plant grew in the spot where he planted the stone and brought many other gems as fruits. Derk kept planting the fruits and soon his field was full of plants, producing richness beyond belief.

His life changed completely and he took up the name of "Gemfield". He and Nafa decided to move to an old residence where to raise their children, but, blinded by the richness, Derk got indebted with a thief of Greenest named Jazhe. He planned to repay his debt with the future harvest of the field, but dramatically it stopped altogether to bear fruits.

He confessed to Nafa his mistake and they decided to depart immediately to ran away from Jazhe and his men.

Jazhe's assassins got to them on the road, raped and killed Nafa in front of Derk's eyes and then hanged him on a tree. They stole as a prize the just born daughter.
