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?)
Ailuan turns to the woman and sighs deeply. “Well, I’ve simply got to get away. Oh, I’m not a fugitive or anything like that! You don’t think that of me, right? You sure?” After his brief panic, he readjusts his mask and continues, “I’m Mistan, you see, so it's customary for me to set out into the world. That's what I've chosen, anyways. And I can’t go back until I’ve got something… something radiant to share. What I want is a tale of adventure! Intrigue!” With that, he gestures dramatically, then composes himself.
“I want to become a great storyteller, like my father. and his father before him, and so on and so forth. They tell me that, before the family settled in Eryndor, one of our ancestors embarked on a grand journey across the world. And for my part, I’ve always felt drawn to entertaining. I suppose it’s truly in our blood, no? I’m glad to get away, at least. Eryndor is… It could be worse, but a lifetime of fog sure does something to a man. Actually this is, uh, quite embarrassing, but for a long time, I was scared of the sea,” his voice lowers a bit. “When I was younger, I slipped while near the coast and fell into the waters. Ended up with a nasty gash on my face; and I wear a mask on account of it. Luckily, I’m here now, but it’s taken me a long time to get over it. Pretty pathetic for a Mistan, I should think, seafaring peoples as we are.”
“Anyways, I’m off to the, what was it? Ah yes, the Spire. Doesn’t it seem like just the type of place to find something truly amazing?” he muses, tapping a finger against his mask.

Character Name: Ailuan
Character Race: Human

Brief Physical Description: Decently tall, with broad shoulders and long limbs, but surprisingly muscular (or at least he would be, were it not for the jester's clothes he is always seen in), with long jet-black hair pulled into a bun. His skin is on the paler side, although most of it is obscured by the mask he wears.
