On a farm In Northwestern Norland, Ellisyn Grae is born. On her 1st birthday her 2 older siblings died from the flu. She being the only remaining child had to take the responsibilities of 3 farm hands. She found herself working the land day after day and a resentment for the work grew. But the world didn't relent. She caught a terrible flu, the same kind that killed her siblings. Bedridden and face to face with death the stories of the great clans of Norland she realized that all she had was dirt- though she knew it was a powerful thing she loathed it, and after beating the disease she could never work the farm land the same. One night she snuck out to explore the wilderness and forget about the hardships the morn would bring- enjoying the newfound freedom she would form a habit of nighttime exploration. Throughout her teens she would sneak into the cottages and shack around her home stealing things that caught her eyes, like coins, books, and wooden carvings. She amassed a hearty collection but bad harvest on her farm lead to her having to sell her bounty. The harvest never got better. The farm was on the brink On her 20th birthday she set out to put her skills of scavenging and thievery to the test and save her familys' farm.

The traveller has just arrived in a small town. As they look around, their gaze is met with run down houses and shops. They duck into one of the shacks, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the small room, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town?" She begins, then pauses to study their face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a chair, “Where do you come from? What do you hope to make of yourself?”
Ellisyn takes a few steps closer while looking around the room, "Just checking if there's anything worth taking, but its just dust and cobwebs." she swats at a candle looming around her face. Watching candle drift weightlessly towards the other candles, the sea flames comfort her as they remind her of the Allfather. She lowers her guard and sits down, "my parents' farm is dying. I hate that farm, but I cant just watch it die - I cant watch them die, My parents will work themselves to death in those damned fields, all for nothing too! that land is dead!" She sinks in her chair, "I have steal, I have to do something so they dont drop dead in that lifeless field." She lets out a deep sigh and remember the hag's final question. "what do I hope to make of myself?" She cradles her face, "no clan would take me in, I've never even touch a sword... All I've left to do is scavenge like a rat." Tears spill through her fingers. "But i know im not a farmer!" -She stands from her chair- "I'd rather be killed while robbing than work another second on a field!" She wipes her face, "goodbye, hag. I have to save my farm!" She leaves the shack with a determination and uncertainty.
