About Palakar MacridiStory:
So, yeah! I'm Palakar, and I'm from Druma. From guess where!? The Palakar forest! Ok, so technically I'm from Larunda, which is a tiny creek in the forest that feeds into the Profit's Flow river, but none of you mortals have gotten around to finding it yet, and Profit's Flow is just a terrible name for a river. But a great pun at least. Anyways, I know it's a bit unusual for a naiad to be named after a forest, but Kortos doesn't really have any waterways, so I'm stuck with Palakar for now. And Macridi is the big town near there.
Anyways. So the fey in Druma have this nice deal where the humans only cut down a couple trees a day and act nice, and we don't make them all get lost in the woods or drown them. So anyways, I guess being around all those Kalistos rubbed off on me a bit, and I decided to look into this money stuff. And it turns out, people will give you money just for talking! And I talk a lot! At least, that's what others say. Some say I babble like a brook, and I'm like "duh!", but then they act like it's a bad thing. I don't know. Anyways. So the boss loggers like to have me talk to the other loggers about what they should be doing and getting them motivated. And the guards in their fancy black jackets like to hear me talk about all the awesome stuff that other guards used to do - they even gave me this nifty book about stuff that other guards used to do just so I could read it to them. So one day I'm talking with the loggers, and this elf comes through. and she's just got all this gold stuff, and has this fancy silver necklace that's really nice but kinda clashes with the rest, you know? So she says she's the Cleo-something Sage shows me this fancy orange gem and says that she's looking to talk to the Kalisto's about if they can get more of the gems for her. And then she tells me about the Mierani forst, and all these other places she's been that sound amazing! And then she says there's a whole bunch of sage people that get together and hang out. Which sounds fun! But then she say's they meet down in Osirion and Thuvia. And she start's talking about them... and they're the most awful places in the world! Like, how can anyone live there?! No forests, no rain, and only a couple rivers in a giant thing of sand? It sounds terrifying... So I think she could tell I was a little freaked out, and starts telling me about this other group that she's also in, called the Pathfinders. And that they go to all sorts of places, and you don't have to go to the sand places if you don't want to. But that you can go to other places, like the River Kingdoms! That place sounds awesome! Imagine a whole kingdom ruled by river fey! Ok, I found out it's not actually that, but it's close enough. And the Mwangi and Sodden Lands, and along the Sellen Rivers, and so many other places. So I just had to come try it out. So I went along with her in Druma and then she brought me here. She made me get clothes though, which I didn't really understand for a while, especially since she wasn't wearing much either. She got me to sign up with the Pathfinder school here, and here I am!
