Thanks to a surprise bout of the flu, I've been less than coherent for a few days. Now, I've got an idea for an elemental kin Barbarian in Eberron, but there are holes in the character that I can feel, but can't plug, thanks to this illness.

Information however, is not free-- so in exchange he works, looking for that connection that he intuitively knows is there. Joao is trading service for information, and is not so very particular about the work, as long as what he learns brings him closer to understanding what connection he has that drives him so. The idea of elemental binding has held his attention since he has learned of it, and he has found a way into service with the manufacturers in Zilargo. He has traveled long distances in the company of some of their craftsmen, which he has used to his benefit more often than not.
It came as a surprise that he had some affinity with the elements, but he describes it as "having a feeling deep in the back of your mind", like a mountain wellspring.. Distant, but deep." Even more now, he pursued the knowledge of the Zilargo craftsmen, brushing the edge of a group that sought something similar to him. They offered to share information, he offered service. Rumors of Elemental Grafts have just reached his ears, and he is searching for more about them currently.
Ah, thank you so very much! I did miss the date of the creation of the country.
