You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
Faelion Arathor's eyes meet the perceptive gaze of the elderly woman, and he offers a respectful nod before taking a seat on the cushion, his posture relaxed yet attentive. The flickering candlelight casts a soft glow across his face as he begins to share his story.
"Well, kind elder, I come from a sedentary life among my kindred in the realm of the High Elves," Faelion begins, his voice carrying a melodic tone. "For years, I resided in a tranquil haven, immersing myself in various studies. But during one fateful visit to a towering structure, I cast my eyes upon the world beyond and witnessed its breathtaking beauty."
A gentle smile graces Faelion's lips as he recalls that transformative moment. "In that instant, I realized that there was more to life than the comforts of familiarity. I felt an insatiable longing to experience the wonders that lay beyond the boundaries of my secluded existence. I yearned to witness the diverse cultures, uncover the forgotten secrets, and deepen my understanding of the magical forces that shape our world."
Faelion's eyes glisten with a mix of determination and curiosity as he continues, "And so, I made a solemn vow to embark on a journey that would take me far and wide, traversing uncharted lands and untamed wilderness. My purpose is to gather knowledge and wisdom, not only for my own growth but also to share with those I encounter along the way. For it is through these encounters that friendships are forged, bonds are strengthened, and the tapestry of our world becomes richer."
Pausing for a moment, Faelion looks at the elderly woman, his expression earnest. "That is why, esteemed elder, I find myself in this humble town—a mere stepping stone on my path of discovery. I seek guidance, perhaps a thread of wisdom woven in the tapestry of your own experiences. For even the most seasoned souls often hold valuable lessons that shape the journeys of the young and curious."
Faelion's voice resonates with a genuine respect as he concludes, "So, I humbly implore you, wise one, to share your wisdom with me, and I shall be forever grateful for the guidance you bestow upon this humble explorer."
