Black shoes, black trousers, white garments, blue robes
Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They 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?))
Example:
“I heard stories about you,” he said calmly. “They say you know the craft of herbs and brews… potions that heal, poison, or change fate itself.”
His blue eyes glanced briefly at the strange bottles and ingredients scattered around the tent.
“I came to learn,” the elf continued. “Just the basics, if you’re willing to teach them.”

Elyon Sylvaris pauses for a moment, studying the old woman as the candlelight flickers softly across his pale features. After a brief hesitation, he moves toward the cushion she indicated and sits with quiet grace, his blue robe settling neatly around him.
“I suppose my story is not a particularly grand one,” he begins in a calm, gentle voice. “I was raised in a small elven village, far from places like this. Life there was peaceful… simple. But the world beyond always seemed much larger than the life I knew.”
His gaze drifts briefly upward to the candles suspended in the air, curiosity glinting in his clear blue eyes.
“For many years I’ve wanted to understand magic more deeply to see it, study it… perhaps even learn and the art of brewing potions as well.” He folds his hands loosely in his lap. “So I left my home and began traveling, hoping I might find someone willing to share such knowledge.”
Elyon then returns his attention to the old hag, tilting his head slightly.
“But you say you were expecting me,” he says thoughtfully. “That is something I did not expect to hear. How could you possibly know I would come here?”
