Oribane's page

1. Oribane lives around an entrance to the Darklands, and has experienced three refugees from Sekamina coming through to the surface, each one reacting worse than the last to the community of spiders that greet them, and exposing Oribane to some rather extreme reactions over his arachnid form
2. Oribane is no child, but has a strong sense of wonder and holds firm to a somewhat naive desire to make friends with everyone, leading to youthful optimism and wholesome demeanor that comes off as nosy and disarmingly saccharine to strangers
3. Oribane comes from a community of only a handful of webs and takes his responsibilities seriously, even if he finds the time to make his own fun along the way, whether it be weaving, hunting, snaring, protecting others, and soon, his arcane studies
4. Oribane visits Nantambu semi-regularly, usually to help trade goods, but also to get help for the refugees that his community can’t provide, usually by seeking out Takulu Ot for his reassuring presence and helpful guidance
5. Oribane pays respects to Grandmother Spider like most of his kind, but he’s not much of a devious trickster, at least not as grand of one as he’d like to be, preferring to use his expertise in hunting and trapping for protection than malice

1. Oribane’s main goal is using what he’ll learn in Magaambya to better help any future refugees his community meets, and help ease the tension his kind often face due to their arachnid forms
2. It would be nice if the students’ adventures allow for enough prep time and home field advantage to let snares shine at least once

1. Oribane has had to fight for his life at least once against Xulgath raids, and would very much like to keep that from the other students, since many people don’t need the idea of him fighting and killing to find his kind scary already
2. One of Oribane’s guardians has experienced the horrors of the Drow Empire personally, the rare refugees aren’t complete happenstance

1. Odinara, Oribane’s oldest guardian who taught him how to hunt, trap, and fight, is getting too old for much of anything these days, and acts as an elder in the community, sticking to spider form for as long as Oribane can remember
2. Yewande, a merchant in Nantambu who is always happy to receive a delivery of Anadi Silk and help get whatever provisions the Anadi might need in return
3. Tiberius, the last refugee pulled out of the Darklands, Takulu was able to help assimilate him back into surface society, but his distrust for Anadi hasn’t wavered an inch since first contact

1. Oribane happily remembers the many social visits Takulu has made to the community, particularly the excitement of being offered lessons at Magaambya
2. Oribane remembers the hours of toil and frustration put into weaving his first silken blanket, and the satisfaction of finally figuring it all out, followed by the initial dread of trying anything more difficult
3. Oribane’s first use of magic was a less than happy memory, as it came during a Xulgath raid and is only really good for making himself more dangerous, but it did give him hope that he could eventually learn to do much more
