In-Character

Read the following prompt:

The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.

“Nervous?”

You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.

“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.

“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”

How do you respond (in character)(250 word minimum - please make sure to include at least three references to our lore in your response, with two coming from different pages in the Compendium.  Two of the three selected should also be in-depth, avoid simply name-dropping lore terms. Tie the terms into your character's backstory. Why are they important to them?)

A huge, powerful giant, as if carved from ancient stone with wrinkled, thick skin, looked at the woman with a stern gaze. “I am Dvalton Steelbeard” he replied briefly and loudly, his voice low and powerful, like a newly lit forge in distant smithies. "This is all, you need to know." He said to the woman, and withdrew his ale mug from his belt that was twice woman head in size and drinked it.

After two long powerful gulps, he gazed on her again but this time... More calmer. "Fine... You want to know more?" he said and turned to her fully "I am... One of the former elders of my clan of stonerunners, who decided to leave our mountains to see a world, and forge my own destiny, and southern Reach is one of many places i wanted to visit, because of a promise of a new fresh start i heard from various travelers who visited our mountains time to time. Happy?" He grumbled under his nose about annoying humans.

The giant was not very talkative; like any other greatling, he was... Stoic. He raisened his head high, he gazed into the distance toward the distant mountains that had once been his home. The woman saw a tear appear on his wrinkled face, a manly lonely tear that disappeared into the thick growth on his face... It was clear that he was no ordinary stonerunner and that he hid a secret as deep as the depths of the mountains themselves. "I need to go." He whispered, much more to himself then to woman and turned to leave.

I decided to try out a greatlings, since they are more related to the dwarves only exception is their size, but its okay until it allows to build dwarf related fantasy stuff.

Hello! I'm Dinomono and I'll be reviewing your application! So far, everything is good, you've gone in-depth enough about the stonerunners and characterised Dvalton in an interesting way. We do, however, require at least two in-depth references to our lore (That is, stuff you can find in the Compendium, can be literally anything, culture/beast/plant all's valid) I can see one already on the stonerunners as I've said, for approving you I'd only really need one more thing to be expanded on within your application. If it's not dialogue, as Dvalton seems to not talk much, narration is just as valid.

Once edits have been made, please reply to this thread so I'm notified and we can continue the whitelist process!

Done. Just redacted south to southern reach. Is that enough?

Sorry, that'd not be enough. What's keeping me from approving this app isn't the choice of name for things, as the text does make me aware Dvalton was talking about the Southern Reach already before, but rather the fact another compendium entry hasn't been elaborated on enough. Basically, I'd ask for a bit more of text to be added about any other aspect of lore besides the Stonerunners' (which you've expanded on already in the application) so that I can count it as the second in-depth reference and have you approved.
