"My name is Echo Miyamoto. I come from across the ocean from a land named Minkai. As a girl I heard stories about a land of sand and sun, very different from my own, where great pyramids were erected. There a civilization flourished; a culture unseen on Golarion until then."

"Being the second daughter after the second son, there was not much for me in the ways of our land's complicated social structure. I showed an aptitude with both blade and magic, though, so my Mother convinced my Father to let me study with the monks of Shizuru, the goddess of swordplay. It was in The House of Salt and Stone where I became one with my katana. This blade is my focus and its perfection my goal. The House of Salt and Stone teaches that armor is a crutch unskilled warriors use to cover their inefficiencies. By blending both martial and magic skills, I will be unparalleled in combat of any sort."

"My family's position in Minkai worsened. A perceived slight here, a direct insult there was enough to cause the Jade Regent to retaliate against my family. My first brother was slain along with his wife and children by cowards. My only sister disappeared. We do not know her fate. My second brother died defending our Mother and Father. The Jade Regent did not allow my parents the honor of killing themselves. Instead he caged them like wild beasts and allowed the predations of nature to slowly kill them while he watched."

"I needed to leave Minkai."

"It was then I remembered the stories of my youth about the great civilization: Osirion. I traveled to New Oppara and from there on to Goka seeking an opportunity to book passage on a ship bound for Garund. While in Goka, I performed a small deed for Amara Li, who afterward revealed herself as the leader of what she called the 'Lantern Lodge'. She told me I would make a fine Pathfinder. I was skeptical at first, but when she told me of the work the Pathfinders did in Osirion, I knew Shizuru's hand directed me. Many months later I arrived in Absalom where I studied and learned the arts of being an explorer."
