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?)

Sat back against the rough wood, a love worn gold coin tousled between rough fingers. Robin packed light, a modest bag at her muddied feet and perhaps the only clothes being the sweat stained ones on her back.
The strong woman was certainly pleased to get out of the swamps of her home but the cramped shoulder to shoulder of the wagon wouldn't be missed.
She was busying herself with the views outside then looking over, confused if the comment was made to her.
“...Am I that readable?” Her gork slowly turned into a soft smile to the older woman, clutching the coin in the palm of her hand and leaning forward.
“Not new to traveling, not even close. This Jack doesn't sit still without restraints and has been picking up new languages since I could fit in a potato sack” Her smile deepend showing off a shiny gold canine.
“...But… nervous to be away from my family. The trip through Mariza was nice and all, I got myself a safety net of a heavy bag of coins but… we’re all after that oonnee coin all us gamblers yearn for. Just an old wives tale I’m sure but a Lucky coin? Wouldn’t have to weigh my dice if I had something like that!..” She falls silent, thinking over what could be a long adventure.
