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)

“Starting a new venture of mine! Like any Valkian should.” She responds back with toothy grin, adjusting her dented worker’s helm to get a better look at the woman.
"Much like what a lot of people passing through are doing I'd say. Came all the way from the Midlands, you see, kept hearing talk about a ripe opportunity to be found here in the Southern Reach, especially with the settlement it's got further down the way.”
With calloused hands, she firmly pats the apron that she wore as she continues.
“Used to toil as an apprentice with the rest of the family back at Mariza, got ourselves our own smithy up there. The Valkian Realm gives up plenty of industry what with all of the forging and mining that goes through, mostly did the former but did a brief stint with the latter before deciding to move on. Never got to handle the Valkian steel, that was left to my older siblings when they did orders for the army, like King Rayan's force of the Red Fists. Still, I reckon I can work with anything the folks got down here once we make it to the Spire.”
She leans back in her seat, letting out an audible sigh. Turning her head to look out from the packed wagon, she takes a moment to view the scenery.
“I wonder if we'll be able to see it from here, one of the biggest things left behind by those strange Aedall after the Great Disappearance when they vanished into thin air, no one really knows much else on it as far as I can tell, but I heard it's a sight to see. Oh! Wonder if they'll let me take a closer look to see what it's made of, apparently, it's unbreakable but I'll have to see it to believe it.”
