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?)

The fey-touched little man would look back at the woman with the broadest of bright little smiles. "Well, let me tell you!" he starts. "I've been across this continent with my Falstoner caravan, and they've passed through the Reach quite a few times. I saw that large Spire from the back of the wagon, and well, I just got curious! Especially given that /apparently/ there's been a group of folks that just done vanished and there was a large column of smoke that rose from the town but a few months ago. Wild!" as the wagon bumps on the road, the little man bounces along with the bumps, almost weightlessly. Rather than complaining, it just seemed to make him giggle. Everything about Gerald, the fey-touched, seemed happy to be here.
He then continued his story. “My life’s been a bit of a tumultuous one, to be quite frank. I’ve never had a place to settle and truly make my own. The urge to get my feet on the ground and get rooted proper has been with me for the last couple’f years now, and well- what time is better than this very moment?” He did not wait for an answer. “Exactly. Make the moment your moment! Every moment for your moment. That’s what I have been taught, at least. Ever since I’ve been little, my mother’s told me to make something of my life, and what better place to do it in than a place where there’s tales of something odd happening in terms of strange activity and something about an emperor’s golden buttocks being from here?”
The half-man dusted himself off and then hopped off the wagon and hopefully into a new life!
