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?) "My mother, ya, she brought my from far away when I was but a wee lad.

I just like a clean shave and to keep my hair short, helps my git away if I get inta trouble. Speakin' o' trouble.. think that lil' tyke o'er there's givin' my some dirty looks.. mayhaps I can give 'im a talkin' to-oh no, is that his brotha? Look away, look away! I don' pick fights with them greatlings.. their size don't exactly give my a fightin' chance." — Character Name: Giltwart Moogan Character Race: Fey-Touched Character Age: 32 Brief Physical Description: A short and slightly stout man with short auburn hair and a clean shaven face. A couple of reddish feathers can be seen sticking out around the neck from under his vest, layered with sashes and belts full of various seemingly useless trinkets. His eyes, a burnt sienna, dart about with mischievous intent, and he has an overall quickness about him. Poking out of his vest pocket is a fine locket on a silver chain... hey, doesn't that locket look kind-of familiar- watch out! He's trying to run off with it!
