Born in the village of Womodeck, near the ever-encroaching ice growth of the southern region, Pace lived a comfortable life of routine with his family. 

Although fascinated by myths, legends, and the stories of traveling traders, young Pace had no desire to pursue a life outside of his village. The study of agriculture and farming, along with his natural ability, enabled Pace to gain a reputation as one of the most skilled farmers and a man whom people could depend upon. This, along with the persuasion of his parents, led to him becoming Speaker at a young age.

There are rumors that, as a child, Pace once met a dragon from the nearby Dragon Roost Mountains; a situation that other Southern Brix would rightfully avoid. However, if true, this could explain his ability to do the unexpected.

When his sister, Anya, left the village with the aim of gaining ice-free land for their family, Pace was heartbroken. It was in this emotional state that he questioned the wisdom of his elders in sending people to gain land through fair conquest rather than battling against the encroaching ice.* 

After failing to persuade his elders to fight ice, Pace’s life took a different path. Learning that Anya was stationed in Kerryan, Pace set off alone to make his way across the continent to join her. As of this recording, he has not been seen at Kerryan.
