A far-travelling yuan-ti with a curious personality.

== Background ==
=== December 23rd ===
I’m off to the [[Sarice]]an monastery today! Of course my parents would prefer it if it was an [[Ariese]]an monastery, but I’m just far more interested in architecture than in the accumulation of knowledge for knowledge’s sake. I feel that Sarice just speaks more to me than Ariese ever did. I know they’re proud of me for going to the monastery anyway and hopefully they’ll come to accept My following Sarice…

…Oh, and Turnuroth has been giving me trouble again. I’m not sure how she hasn’t figured out yet that my voice will never be more than passable. I spent another couple hours practicing last night in preparation for practice today and it still wasn’t enough for her. Between practicing singing and learning the basics of architecture, I barely have enough time to sleep as it is. I’m not sure where I’ll find time to practice more…

=== January 29th ===
I just received word today. My parents have been missing since the [[shift]] two weeks ago. The house was destroyed, along with everything in it. There’s almost no chance they’re still alive. I can’t write any more now.

=== February 10th ===
...I just don’t understand why we aren’t insisting on making all buildings more shift-proof, instead of just the monasteries! It doesn’t make any sense! If we have all this knowledge, why aren’t we using it? My home wasn’t that old, it should have been built using the same techniques as every modern temple. Everyone’s home should be built like that…

=== February 27th ===
I can’t stay here any more. Even Uchenost has suggested that it may do me some good to get away. I’ve been disturbing the other acolytes with my questions on why the godyr move among us if all it causes is disaster among their very believers and why our knowledge is kept so secret. I know he means well, but it still stings a bit to be turned out of a place I’ve called home for the past year. Maybe he’s right and some time away from the stress of the monastery will bring me to peace with the godyr…

...I can’t believe I used to think the [[Zantaashi]] were crazy for their Karmic Houses. Now that I’ve been here for a few weeks, I’ve learned more about it and it’s clear that they’re right. There’s something wrong with the world and [[Fahrstone]] is a clear symptom of it. The shifts aren’t natural and we shouldn’t be content with just living with them. We need to do something to stop them...

…I’m glad I came to the Holy Kingdom, but I suspect I’ll be more glad once I’m gone. It’s been good to be able to see where my mother’s family originally came from, but I’m not sure I could live with the customs for long. After having lived here over a year, I think I can safely say I’ve given the karmic system a chance and it just doesn’t agree with me. I thought they had the answers, but I’ve been getting more concerned about the ideas behind the houses. I appreciate how communal the society is, but the House of Chance in particular just seems mercenary and it makes me wonder about the motivation behind the others. I’m glad I’m able to leave with my balance settled…

=== April 7th ===
...I’m not sure how much longer I can hide my time at the Sarician monastery. It was easier to hide in the Holy Kingdom since everyone just assumed that I followed the [[Karmic Houses]], but thankfully the elves here don’t seem to wonder too much about my past as long as I live in harmony with nature now. It was interesting to learn their ideas on the origin of The Flows, but they seem to think that they’ll be fine as long as they ignore any advances in knowledge and continue to tend to the land in small communities, instead of actually trying to fix the problem. I think it’s time for me to head back home, where I can learn more. I should be moving on soon anyway, so that I don’t get accused of disrupting the eternal summer here…

=== April 24th ===
I’m back in the [[Marran_Empire|Empire]] now, but I don’t think I’m going to return to <insert town name here>. I can’t bear to be back there now, with all my family gone and having left the monastery. I’d be too haunted by memories. It’ll be much better for me here in [[Barrowborough]], where things aren’t so familiar, and no one will care that I’m not a [[Cosmic_Church|Cosmic]] follower, since there are just as many [[Sylvanism|Sylvanists]] here...
