Koy the wanderer
You are Koy, a human sorcerer unaffiliated with any faction or organization. Your innate magical abilities manifest as crackling arcane energy and you have many types of spells due to exploring for so long, marking you as different from the common folk you encounter in your travels. You stand at the edge of the desolate Elfharrow region, where withered scrubland stretches endlessly beneath the merciless sun. In the distance, the partially flooded ruins of Sheirtalar loom, their crumbling spires rising above the toxic waters like the bones of a long-dead giant. The wild elf tribes that guard these lands are known for their fierce xenophobia, making any outsiders unwelcome in their withered homeland. As you scan the ruins, a figure emerges from behind a fallen pillar - Thelindra, a female wild elf scout whose dark skin bears the ritual scars of her tribe. Her bow remains strung but lowered, though her hand hasn't left the weapon. She regards you warily, studying your unfamiliar features and the magical energy crackling around your form. "Why has an outsider come to our sacred grounds?" she demands in heavily accented Common, her tone carrying both curiosity and hostility.
