Pek Varrack's page

Hailing from a family in the mountains of Minkai from the Eastern part of Tian Xia Pek is a bit of an oddity in Willowshire, having moved into town in the past few years he prefers to live on the Southside in the woods near the Pharasman temple. His family like most tengu family both love tradition and love breaking it, and sent him out about 5 years ago to discover himself and Tian and what his place in it, in the family, and the further world would be. Tink, his father, a monk of Irori believed that exploration led to enlightenment, and while he taught Pek much about being a monk believed that it was time Pek himself started to find his place in the world. Pek's mother, Shinyee, was from a family of Tengus throughout the Minkai mountains whose family acted as couriers throughout the region. Tink had retired from his adventuring days in Minkai and met Shinyee after receiving a letter from his old adventuring companion Zarta Dralneen. Pek began traveling around Minkai, but quickly grew bored with the surrounds and sailed east only to find he didn't much like boats as they felt too constraining on the inside. Eventually he wandered his way into the Shenmen only to find himself set upon by ruffians outside of Yin-Sichasi and left for dead on the roadside. He awoke to find himself healed and being cared for in a temple to Pharasma. The cleric recommended he get out of Shenmen or at least out of sight as the opinion on Tengus was shifting for the worse. As he followed a road lined in apple trees to making his way out of Shenmen he happened upon Willowshire and it's temple. He knew at that moment it was serendipity and he needed to dedicate himself to learning the ways of the Lady of Graves. He spent the last couple of years learning from Elizeth Canora while living in the trees nearby. When not at the temple he spends the majority of the his time in the woods still wary of the warning he received, but is familiar with most in town. He's learned much of the local culture and in return for Elizeth's teaching he helps collect ingredients for many of the goods she produces, and provides minor healing for the scrapes and bruises of the children. After a couple years of avoiding the festival curiousity got the better of him and he volunteered to be "taken" as a way to learn more of the town and ingratiate himself further into the community.
