Assist, please, on a character background

[Chris Mortika]

I'm looking to play a half-orc, maybe a witch or a druid, and I'd like her to remember Sarkoris.

So, she can be really old -- we know that Sun Orchid elixir gets brought into Mendev, but I don't think a lowly half-orc is in the running for so lofty an anti-aging drug -- or she could have time-jumped somehow, from 100 years ago.

Anybody have any plausible ideas?

Binding spell from a powerful shaman of old Sarkoris?

[Changing Man]

Maybe she was at the edge of the effect of the Heirophant Druids' massive spell (up in the Forest of Stones, from "The Worldwound" book), was battling the demons, and there was a trinity of energies- her spell + demon spell/-like ability + heirophant's shift-o-rama spell that kind of catapulted her into the future instead of nuking her. Heck, if she's a witch, maybe her Patron had a hand in it as well. This is a Mythic AP, so really strange things are plausible... Just imagine her reaction: "What do you mean Sarkoris doesn't exist any more? Why are there all these knights running around? What year is it? AND WHERE'S MY TEDDY BEAR?!?"

RE -- cast on the PC by accident? It seems a strange spell to expend on a 1st-level character.

Maybe they were trying to trap a spirit, and your character walked into the binding by accident? Maybe a mighty shaman had a vision that one day their tribe would be needed to fight a great evil and so bound many tribesmen with binding, but demons killed all by a very few of the sleepers before they awoke?

Another possibility is that your character's whole village was flash-petrified at the time of the opening of the Worldwound. Pathfinders digging around in the Worldwound could have found the spooky petrified village and chosen one villager at random to unpetrify to ask some questions (looking for Jormurdun), and with nowhere else to go, you joined the Pathfinders?

Maybe the character was one of the longer lived races who died defending the land during one of the more recent crusades, and was changed into a Half-Orc when reincarnated?

Nice ideas. Thanks to you all.

Current whimsey has her coming in as a Blight Druid.
