Backstory
My story starts in Hodendorf, a well connected town in the heart of Bisvick, which became a favourite of merchants from all over the place. They would never stay long, but the locals were always happy to receive some of their money and gifts. Besides prosperity, some merchants brought with them other goods from all over the place. Hodendorf became well known for an impresive range of wine, liquor and all sorts of drugs, which was widely accepted by locals. Who doesn't need to relax or party at the end of a long day of traveling? And this was the safest place in Varakeen for it, due to extensive testing and strong harm reduction campaigns.
I loved it here in Hodendorf. However, I was not here by the coincidence of birth or my own choice. Not even two years ago, I woke up on these beautiful wooded hills with no memories of how I got there or any of my past. All I had was my name, Jas Blackbite, and a vague memory of Feno's murder. They were shot right in front of me by the Ark's guards. The people of Hodendorf gladly took me in. They always needed more workers to help serve all the merchants. My hunting skills got me a job at one of the many pubs. The clients were delighted by the freshly hunted food.
One afternoon when I was on the hunt for dinner for our guests, I suddenly get distracted from chasing a wild boar by a sudden high pitched noise. On the other side of the clearing a big [species] apears. He introduces himself as [insert name] and slowly aproached me and said "Jas, the day of reckoning will soon be here. Find the seven Slumber Jewels and bring them to me as promised." If he knows the truth my past, then like it or not, I have to believe him. The only way I will find out more about my past and who Feno was — or is if they survived — is if I collect those stupid stones for him. Why did I care so much about this kid that I don't even remember anything about? They are said to have the ability to control or even destroy the Sleeping Godess. However no one managed to find all of them and it is believed that they are being kept hidden by various rivals of the Church of the Dreamer. If they managed to get their hands on all of them, assuming they hold the powers they are said to hold, then the Church of the Dreamer would have the power to control the world or even tear reality into pieces, wether the Sleeping Godess they worship is real or not.
When I came back to Le Carrefour — the pub I was working in — I told my coworker and trusted friend Emmie about what just happened. She was sad that I was going to leave in the search of these artefacts, but understood that I had to go and find out more about my past. She told me that I should go ask [insert name, description, reason to know this etc], so I went and [pronoun] told me that my best chance is to go to Chorofet, the capital of the Meriden Coast, where a secret group that seeks to find and protect these stones is based, but I should be careful who I tell about my mission, and how much I reveal.
NPCs
- weird guy in the forest who sent me on this quest - I 'm reluctant to trust him but he knows stuff about me so I have to play along for now
- coworker - really lovely person; supported me from the start with my amnesia and feeling at home in the town; very good friend
- Feno - They were a human kid abandoned by their own family that came in to work on the [ocean/sea name] Ark, the first permanent ocean colony. I took them under my wing and cared for them like I would for my own pups, even if they really didn't need much caring for. Being abandoned by their family at a young age turned them into the toughest and most independent person I've known. NOTE: I don't know all of this and they may or may not be alive. I really have no idea. All I remember is the image of us running away and them getting shot while I yelled out their name.
- wise lady in the town - gave me info; I really don't know much else about her
