You were born in the central lands, in a Varukori village near the Whispering River. The days pass in a blur of simplicity: seasons change, harvests are gathered, solstices celebrated. Life is routine but peaceful. As you grow, the village offers different avenues of learning under the watchful eyes of the tribe's esteemed elders.

> Train with the thanes: Days of sweat and toil. You become strong. Your muscles harden; your grip tightens. When you swing a weapon, it becomes an extension of your own will. Respect is earned in feats of strength.
> Follow the elders: Listen to traders, debate with cousins and neighbors. Quick exchanges, sharper insights. Words become your tools, sharper than any blade. Your tongue weaves tapestries of persuasion and insight. Deals are brokered; disputes, resolved.
> Find solace in ancient scripture: Secrets whispered in moonlight, mysteries unfold. Your understanding of the arcane grows, yet it remains limited to low magics and natural lore. Though magic is scarce, your talents draw wary eyes. Subtle power lies in hidden knowledge.

The morning fog has barely lifted as you and your father step into the forest, bow and quiver slung over your shoulders. Then, there it is—a splendid silver-white stag standing near a pool of crystal-clear water, its antlers catching the first rays of the dawning sun. The majestic creature locks eyes with you for a timeless moment before darting effortlessly into the thick woods. The smell of damp earth hangs in the air as your father puts his hand on your shoulder.

> Hunt the Stag Down: A thrill runs through you. This is the moment to prove your prowess, to make your father proud. The bow feels alive in your hands as you set off, determined to bring down the magnificent beast. This is a hunt for glory and honor.
> Organize a Hunt: Wisdom tempers eagerness. This stag is a prize worth more than simple bragging rights—it's a community's feast and a season's good luck. You return to the village, rallying the experienced hunters for a grand expedition. The hunt becomes a communal endeavor.
> Leave the Stag Be: Your gut tells you this is no ordinary stag; it's a creature of omens and portents. You lower your bow, turn to your father, and advise him that this beast is not to be trifled with. You mark the area and warn the villagers to give the stag a wide berth. Some things in the forest are best left untouched.

You trace the roots of the rumor to Fhor, Marik the Hunter's headstrong daughter. "Well, it might as well be true!" she exclaims when confronted. "The son of our village's best hunter, hunched over dusty parchments! Engrossed in mere words! What a disgrace." Her words sting, and a flicker of shame touches your heart. Yet, this situation calls for resolution.

As both of your fathers negotiate the suitable restitution, occasionally sharing a chuckle, you and Fhor sit opposite each other. Tension fills the air between you.

The agreement is reached: Fhor will spend two moon cycle in your family's roundhouse, serving as a cottar. Yet as you catch the mischievous glint in Marik's eyes you can't help but wonder if this resolution constitutes any form of victory at all.

You stand along the banks of the Whispering River, fishing spear in hand, eyes scanning the sun-dappled waters for a worthy catch. Your family is nearby, chatting and laughing, making the most of this communal outing. As for Fhor, she is standing a few paces away with her spear poised over the water. Her expression is a blend of concentration and mild annoyance, as if she's both committed to the task and somewhat resentful of having to share it with you.

If people wanted fighting stats, they should have hunted the stag. But trading a basic fish for a runestone is silly in my opinion.

The fish is like hunting the stag or will at least give a rep boost from "spooky NEET' to "odd but alright guy" I think

The fatty fish is gutted, seasoned, and grilled over an open flame as the neighbors gather around. Your father holds court, boasting to all about how you wrestled this sea monster from the depths of the Whispering River—a tale growing more heroic with each telling. The sight of him so visibly proud of your accomplishment warms you from within. Across the fire, you and your mother exchange a knowing smile, silently sharing the joy of the moment.

Fhor picks up a small stone and idly tosses it into the fire. "I guess you're not completely useless with a spear," she observes, her tone more thoughtful than cutting.

Elder Tharn's teachings grow increasingly demanding, ancient lore and incantations leaving little room for rest or sustenance. Your eyes drift to Hijon and Claro, the two other children in the village showing magic potential, who seem to be struggling to keep pace, their faces etched with worry and fatigue.

Hijon's progress is evident, her senses sharpening and her understanding of the mystical arts deepening under your tutelage. However, Claro struggles, his frustrations mounting day by day.

"This is not for me, Galrick," he says, exasperated. "I should tend to the crops and feed the livestock like my parents do and theirs before them." He falls silent, his eyes searching yours. "What do you think I should do?"

The Whispering River lies between you, its crisp waters reflecting the soft glow of the moon above. The air is still, the long grass barely rustling, as if holding its breath in anticipation. Hijon sits quietly on the bank, not to assist in the ritual, but to be present, offering her silent support to her friends navigating these mystical waters.

With closed eyes, you begin the ritual. Slowly, you feel your own life force melding with the ebb and flow of the river. It's as if the currents themselves lend you their ancient wisdom, whispering secrets only discernible to those who truly listen. In this moment, you are one with the river and with the mysterious forces that shape all existence.

Claro made his way back to his family's fields, his shoulders a little lighter, and his choice clear and resolute.

Elder Tharn was less pleased however. He chastised you in the following days, clearly irritated that his most promising student was lagging in their studies. Though his words stung, your heart remained untroubled. There was a different kind of wisdom, you thought, in knowing when to aid your friends.

Cold sweat clings to you as you wake in the pitch-black longhouse, disrupted by a nudge from Fhor. "Galrick, wake up. You were making sounds—like you were hurting," she whispers, her eyes filled with concern. Nightmarish visions linger: a merciless sun, your flesh withering away, and an ominous red bird circling above.

"Nightmares," you mutter, brushing the lingering dread from your mind. "Sorry to wake you."

Fhor's gaze doesn't waver, as if searching for something more within you. "Galrick..." she begins, but lets the word hang heavy in the darkened room.

In the still darkness you pull Fhor into an embrace, her slender form fitting against yours as if filling gaps you weren't aware of. For a suspended moment, the weight of the world seems to lift. Then she disengages, wordlessly retreating to her own cot.

Ancestor's Day may lack festivity, but it holds the weight of tradition and respect for those who walked these lands before you. Elder Tharn keeps you busy, sending you on errands to fetch tablets and scrolls from the Knowing Hall to the central gathering. Hijon, your counterpart, is spared the running—entrusted instead with keeping his water cask filled. It's an uneven arrangement, but you're glad to avoid most of Tharn's ceaseless monologues.

As you step out of the Knowing Hall, parchment tucked under your arm, you spot a handful huddled behind a barn, conspicuously absent from the ongoing ceremony. It appears Kosa has procured a jug of sweet wine and is sharing the spoils with his co-conspirators.

As you approach the group of young people, their initial smiles and laughter fade into uneasy glances as you express your disapproval of their drinking during this important day. The atmosphere turns tense; some look down in shame, while others wear expressions of irritation. Fhor is among them, her eyes meet yours, but her thoughts remain inscrutable.

Kosa suddenly stands and confronts you, the smell of wine heavy on his breath. "You're becoming a real burden, Galrick," he snaps, jabbing his finger into your chest with unmistakable aggression. "How about you shut up and go back to being the Elders' little lapdog, uh?" The atmosphere grows tense, all eyes focused on you, awaiting your next move.

Snitching would burn our bridges with them entirely. Just leaving them to their thing is a good idea in the start, now it would only make us look like a coward. So standing our ground seems the best idea out of the bunch (assuming that the ensuing fight isn't going to be known by the adults of course), we're probably gonna get dunked on by the big guy anyway but it would show that we're determined at the least. But in the case the incident reaches the elder's ears we can always lie, saying we fought to see who's the stronger one? If he doesn't buy it then it's not a big deal anyway, and I mean, we can always pack our shit and leave if we want to.

The quiet reverence of Ancestor's Day is disrupted when tensions between you and Kosa escalate into a brawl, despite the attempts by other young people to break it up. With help from a quick distraction by Fhor, you manage to land a blow that breaks Kosa's nose. However, you fare far worse in the altercation: your face swells, your chest throbs, and a piece of your tooth is missing.

[Confront Kosa: Challenging—Mettle: Fair, Failure]

You and Kosa keep the reason for the fight to yourselves, trying to shield your friends from any fallout. Elder Tharn's scolding seems to drag on longer than usual, his tone tinged with a palpable disappointment. It becomes clear that he had higher expectations for you, and his disapproval lingers in the atmosphere long after he stops speaking. Adhering to clan tradition for those not yet of age, both of you are consigned to a day sitting in the cold currents of the Whispering River.

As the sun dips low in the sky, Kosa finally speaks. "We used to hang out all the time when we were young," he says, wincing as he touches his broken nose. "But ever since you got involved with that shaman stuff, you've changed." You sit quietly, your gaze drifting over the water's sparkling surface.

"People are starting to think you're... different from us."

Conflict can be a path to understanding, and though you're uncertain if Kosa truly grasped your sentiments, your own heart feels more steadfast. You know your path.

Your father returns from the hunt, a grimace etched onto his face as he leans heavily on Marik's shoulder. "A bad step," he mutters, "and the ground gave way."

And you mother, ever the herbalist, swiftly prepares salves and ointments, her hands moving with practiced ease. Yet even she pauses, her eyes clouded with worry. "These wounds are deep; the healing will take time."

On a sunny afternoon, Hijon approaches you with a modest bundle wrapped in cloth. Her eyes meet yours, flicking briefly to the bruises still mottling your face. "I wanted to thank you for the extra lessons," she says, unraveling the cloth to reveal a freshly baked blueberry flatbread. "And well, after the fight with Kosa you looked like you could use something to lift your spirits."

Sitting together, you enjoy the pastry, accompanied by cheerful chatter and laughter. The conversation flows gently, jumping from light banter to gossip. The sun's descent and the dimming light are the only indicators of how much time has truly passed.

The weight of the recent events lifts, and even your bruises feel less sore. Before going, Hijon flashes a mischievous smile, "As my mother used to say, 'To get a man to open up, feed his belly.'" She teasingly wraps up the empty cloth. "Just so you know, if you ever want more of these, I'm your go-to."

A billowing column of smoke and the panicked shouts of your neighbors disrupt the otherwise peaceful night. Fire has engulfed a nearby roundhouse. People rush, jugs of water sloshing, to douse the flames. Amidst the chaos, you spot Lute, her arms wrapped tightly around her crying mother.

>>5757662
>Make Sure the Fire Doesn't Spread
Someone is going to punch us if we try to invoke some spirit. Everyone is already focused on the burning hut (which may or may not already be lost). Considering that we're in the middle of a heatwave, everything is dry af, and the main risk at this point is the fire getting worse, not the house burning more or less.

In the face of the ongoing drought, you rally the neighbors, formulating a swift plan to contain the fire and prevent its spread to surrounding structures. Working tirelessly all night, you clear a perimeter and douse the neighboring grounds.

By the time the morning sun crests the mountains, the once-sturdy roundhouse is reduced to charred remnants, its former occupants warmly taken in by other families. Thanks to your swift intervention, the adjacent areas remain untouched, earning you the gratitude of your neighbors.

As the last days of Fhor's cottarship wane, she gathers her belongings, while the muffled voices of your parents echo from further down the path to your roundhouse. The space between you feels a bit heavy, laden with unspoken thoughts. "About that leech rumor..." she starts, avoiding direct eye contact, "I'm sorry. My father's always talking about how great yours is. And seeing him talk like that, it felt unjust that his only son was… well, you." You look at her, waiting for her to continue, and she does. "But now, after spending time here, and learning to know you, I was wrong. You have that same quality my father admires in yours."

The air seems to thin a little, and you can almost hear the rustling leaves outside more distinctly. She then faces you squarely, her gaze piercing. "But that brawl with Kosa? That was stupid. He's got weight and height on you." Yet, a hint of something glimmers in her eyes? "Don't be so reckless next time."

The early winds of autumn swirl outside, perhaps signalling the beginning of new understandings.

"Don't joke about that... Leeches really do give me the chills." Noticing your amused grin, her tense look softens into a heartfelt smile. "Take care, Galrick. And steer clear of Kosa, alright? I might not always be around to watch your back." After a brief embrace, Fhor departs towards her family's dwelling, marking the end of her time as a cottar in your home.

Under directions from Elder Tharn, you and Hijon meticulously go about preparing the Knowing Hall for the harsh winter months. This annual ritual was never particularly enthralling; it involved a mix of mundane cleaning, rearranging artifacts, and occasionally casting a minor ward to ensure the preservation of the hall's valuable contents.

As midday sunlight streamed through the small windows, Claro burst into the hall, eyes wide with excitement. His usually calm demeanor is replaced with an animated energy. "While getting the fields ready for the cold season, we stumbled upon something... unusual. An old statue, buried and forgotten," he exclaims, trying to catch his breath. "We've moved it to our barn for now. You really need to come take a look!"

> Investigate the Statue: Intrigued by Claro's evident excitement, you set aside your chores momentarily, signaling Hijon that it might be worth checking out. The allure of a break from this monotonous day is too enticing to resist.
> Send Claro to Tharn: You remember well the recent difficulties between Claro and Tharn after he left the Teachings. Still, it's imperative that discoveries of this kind are reported to the elders. You instruct Claro to inform Tharn immediately.
> Plan a Visit for Later: Ensuring that your work isn't disrupted, you tell Claro, "We'll come see it at dusk, after our duties are fulfilled." It is only a statue, after all.

"It's a bit... vulgar, no?" Hijon remarks with a hint of distaste, her eyebrows knitting together. The statue, conspicuously missing its head, sits forlornly in the dimly lit corner of the barn. Various notches have scarred its surface, and areas of discoloration resemble the marks of ancient wear and tear. "So, Claro, this was what got you this excited?" you tease, the smirk evident in your voice. Claro's face flushes with a mix of defensiveness and embarrassment.

As you get closer, compelled by a sense of curiosity, you feel a subtle thrum of energy emanating from the statue. Despite its crude appearance, the statue appears to be imbued with some residual magic. Hijon catches on, her initial skepticism morphing into a wary curiosity, though she still shoots you a disapproving glare as your hands explore the statue's worn surface.

Together, the three of you resolve to seek out the statue's missing head, aiming to reclaim its latent power. But with no clear indication of how long the statue has been hidden beneath the soil, your quest might prove to be a shot in the dark.

> Comb the Fields: Given that the statue's body was discovered in the fields, it's logical to think that the head might be lying close by. A thorough search of the area could lead to the missing piece.
> Explore the Whispering River: Given its proximity to the statue's burial site and its enigmatic energies, the river might hold the answer. Its currents and eddies may have carried the head away, or perhaps hidden it in a tucked-away nook.
> Perform a Divining Ritual: It might be a lengthy process, but with the combined strength and knowledge of the three of you, conducting a ritual to reveal the head's location could be a promising option. If the magic is successful, it could save a lot of guesswork.

Hours of sifting through the riverbed have left you almost ready to abandon the quest for the missing head. Just as hope wanes, a sudden splash breaks the silence; Hijon has taken an unplanned dip. Helping her to her feet, you spot the very object of your search—a distinct stone head—right where she had tripped.

With a deep breath, you send a silent prayer of gratitude to the river, sensing its gentle nudge in guiding you to your discovery.

With the gentlest of motions, you fit the stone head onto its body. The reunion produces a soft thud, and the three of you stand still, waiting expectantly, trying to perceive any subtle shift in the atmosphere or the energy emanating from the statue.

Hijon breaks the silence first, "All that effort and for what?" She shakes her head, water droplets flying from her damp hair. "I'm heading home to dry off." Claro gazes forlornly at the idol, the initial excitement replaced by a hint of disappointment. "I thought there'd be... something. A warmth, a pulse, some indication."

As they depart, you remain, pondering the enigmatic statue before you. Running your fingers over its surface one last time, you distinctly feel a hum of energy—faint but undeniably more potent than before. Entrusting your faith in the guiding hand of the River, you muse: If it led you to this discovery, surely it must hold some benevolent purpose? Time will tell.
