Deep within the well of Gnome Village a pile of gold coins rest. They
are the wishes of every traveler who has passed through. Most of these
wishes are favorable, like a farmer's hope to procure a bountiful harvest,
or the ever-thirsting wanderlust of adventurers. Though there are some of
darker ilks, Quivadne learned of a similarity between good and evil -
survival.
Her life was once a placid existence bound to the fountains and springs of
the world, but governed now by charlatans who captured her long ago. These
people were caravanners bringing entertainment as a carnival. The nymph was
one of their most prized possessions because of her ability to charm a man
by simply gazing into his eyes. The leader of the carnies used her as a way
to line his gold pouch; for when the blindfold was removed all their
valuables and belongings were as well. Much against her will, Quivadne was
treated like an outcast and a creature, forever locked in a cage until the
next show - or trickery. And though she was very well taken care of, she
was a prisoner to the exposition of a charm spell.
During the morning she managed to escape by lockpicking the cage door. A
guard dog blocked her way off the wagon, so she had mimicked the voice of
her owner saying his name. This drew the dog's attention briefly away, a
chance to her to jump and dash. Her scent was quickly gained and chased
through a nearby forest, where she fell down a random well by running in
such a panic. She was unharmed, but far beneath the ground, and all was
quiet. The hysteria of fleeing for her life began to dwindle, and a wisp
with a mysterious essence reflected off the water. It spoke of good and
evil, and the gold coins that occasionally fell into the pool. For days
Quivadne would speak with the wisp, gaining knowledge, and eating her magic
mushrooms. It was fate, and she grew wisdom and insight through the
teachings of this delightful being. With a newfound purpose and a greater
reason of understanding, Quivadne crawled out of the well and embarked on
her first adventure since being captured back at Clearwater Lake.
Loved the battle bard. Keeper nymph was cool as well, falls directly in line with the potential new vision for Keepers. Keeper is a hard life, way to stick it out for a while.
