He rarely confesses this to anyone, but Osric wasn't truly gutterborn. His early childhood saw him a son to a caravan-guard-turned-caravan-master and his wife. That benefit coupled with living in Limsa Lominsa resulted in access to paid tutors from the Arcanist's Guild at Mealvaan's Gate.Â
That all went south when Cenric Melkire committed suicide. The resulting fallout left his family destitute and drove his eldest son to the streets in order to support the small household.
tl;dr: lucky to be born into the right family in the right city at the right time.
