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.”
Arlina L'acrimosa, her silver-blonde hair framing her face like a cascade of moonlight, continued her tale within the dim tent. Her voice wove through the shadows, a blend of determination and vulnerability, as she revealed the intricate tapestry of her lineage and family to the old hag.
"My name is Arlina L'acrimosa, a Snow Elf descended from the esteemed Araaloq bloodline, now residing within the gentle corridors of the Silver Empire. In the comforting embrace of our home, I discovered a gift—a love for words that flowed from my pen like a melody. Poetry, prayer and tales became my sanctuary, a realm where my soul could wander freely, nurtured by the support of my family.
My family, practical and anchored in the everyday, struggled at first to fathom the depths of my poetic yearning. Yet, they have been my steadfast allies, supporting my passion and encouraging my creative pursuits. My father, Lovell L'acrimosa, a seasoned figure in both politics and religion, guides our family with a sharp mind and devotion to Isvinity. My mother, Lady Kayana L'acrimosa, stands as a gentle yet commanding matriarch, offering sage advice and nurturing the flames of our familial bonds.
I have an older brother, Sylph, a stalwart and disciplined Vigilant, whose leadership and commitment to our values have earned him respect within our community.
Fate, with its intricate design, has led me away from the familiar comforts of the Silver Empire to this place draped in shadows and secrets. My memory fragments—a blurred vision, a sudden darkness, and then coming into this mysterious tent. You claim to have anticipated my arrival, but the foreknowledge you speaks of only deepens the mystery.
As Arlina L'acrimosa, I seek answers, yearning for the familiarity of home. My family's legacy, rooted in allegiance, devotion, and Isvinity, guides me through this unexpected journey. In the face of perplexity, I hold fast to the support and strength bestowed upon me by the L'acrimosa family, for they are the pillars that uphold our Araaloq bloodline's enduring legacy." Arlina's gaze remained fixed on the hag, a silent plea for understanding and guidance, her familial bonds providing both solace and strength in the midst of the unknown.
