Give a short description (1-2 paragraphs) of what "Adventure" is as if you were a jaded, bitter adventurer who failed to achieve his dreams and you're telling a story to someone in a low-fantasy setting pub.
"Adventure." Such a grandiose dream held by all. Stories of old, passed through taverns, towns, and castles, heard by all, promising the young and naive riches, notoriety, status amongst legends, their names to be passed down for generations. All at the simple cost of bearing a sword and bracing themselves against the unknown secrets of the world. Tales of triumphant victories under impossible odds, heroic conquests freeing the innocent from tyranny, and unfolding unfathomable riches from forgotten kingdoms will be sung for all throughout the annals of history. 

They think not of the stories gone untold. They think not of the arduous journey taken by the mighty heroes they dream of becoming - the losses borne, or the sacrifices made to forge such a path. Nor do they think of those who narrowly missed achieving that illustrious title. Only the names of those who are successful in slaying the dragon are to be remembered while standing atop a mountain built from the forgotten bones of those who tried.
