== Biography ==
===
Sherman was born into a lower class family who lived in the rural area surrounding the settlement of [[Peachfield]], located in central [[Gaushan]]. As a teenager Sherman worked as a farm hand to a local lord in order to help support his family.The lords that owned the land were quite harsh on the peasants and Sherman was often forced to toil in the fields for up to 14 hours a day for a meager wage. As a young adult he became involved in a conspiracy led by a man named [[Eiric]]. The goal was to overthrow the local lords and grant additional freedoms to the farmer class. The uprising started a few months later and saw more and more farmers refuse to work and take up arms against their lords. Many of the soldiers that were sent to squash the uprising many refused to kill the farmers armed with crude tools and leather scrap armor. They instead sympathized with the cause and some even saw it as an opportunity to gain additional freedoms themselves. Sherman himself was spared by one much soldier after he tried to attack him with his family's old pitchfork. The uprising was ultimately successful and a Farmer's Council was installed with Eiric being the head of state.

=== The Elyrian Ambassador ===
The nation of [[Elyria]] was founded by the citizens of Peachfiield and the neighboring settlement of [[Briscoe Ranch]]. Elyria was formed out of a necessity to ensure that the people of central Gaushan had a state that united them with a common identity and ideals. When Eiric overthrew the Farmer's Council Sherman was promoted to Master of Diplomacy for Elyria, acting as the primary ambassador to the state. Sherman went on to play a key role in negotiating many of the treaties, alliances and agreements that Elyria would sign with other nations. Sherman personally finds it insulting for diplomats to engage in meeting while wearing war (netherite) attire. It is this reason why Sherman started the tradition of wearing ceremonial chain armor when engaging in diplomacy. He became so well-known for this that he was permitted to wear his chain armor during sessions at the Alathra International Assembly despite there being a ban on brandishing weapons and armor.
