character looks great! As for the time line...well a decade out of date is about where we are...just after the time of troubles well before the spellplague...but the setting knowledge needed is minimal. I'll have the OOC up hopefully by tomorrow night which will give you more locale/geographical info for your background. Only thing I want to say is that the other character is also a leather worker (I don't mind at all, skill overlap is expected) just in case it bothers you.
