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)? (150 words 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?)
The warmth of the stranger eased her. The sun was scorching, and Oracle knew the difference between the harsh rays and a kind greeting all too well.
"There's not much back in the swamplands for me," she began, "I’ve done my part.”
The warmth faded from the woman’s smile, shifting the tone. “What would that mean?”
“The Jacks had their fun and all that. It’s my home and will always be - back there… but there’s more for me, I think,” Oracle faced out, the breeze brushing her hair back as the wagon wobbled about. “I’m tired of the miners and lumberjacks. As for that in particular, the whole reason why I’m headed to the South Reach? Isn’t it the same as everyone’s?”
“I suppose that is… one way to word such. Go on, dear.”
“There’s always something on the other side of The Wall. They’ve had to have gone somewhere, yeah? My parents, my grandparents - it’s all too surreal for them. This can’t be some weird… portents’ doing.” She held an arm out to dance in the winds, “and it could likely be beyond the naked eye.”

Character Name: Oracle Mossbane
Character Race: Fey-Touched (Wetland)
Character Age: 25
Brief Physical Description:
Oracle measures about 5'7" (170cm) with lanky arms and legs but a solid core strenth. Her limbs and back are primarly covered in dull slate-textured scales. She has long dark hair which is often lazily tied up to keep it from touching the ground. Her eyes are opaque and milky blue, one if not both are obscured by her hair. A thin webbing lines her fingers at the metacarpals. She bears two tattoos: a sun on her left shoulder and a crescent moon on her right shoulder.
