Status: Vixen gypsy, lover of Taryn, NPC, always on the move
Triara, the outcast - Triara, the gypsy - Triara, the mysterious -
Many are the attributes that accompany this vixen's notorious name. She
is known by and large, as someone unreliable, but with strange powers
that not even the wizards can explain. Most people are a bit scared of
her. She is the tantalizing enigma, and the unwelcome unknown.
Of course, she thinks very little of that herself. This vixen knows the
aces up her sleeve. Triara is more than a little bit skilled at playing
her customers. The
fortune she tells people is based on the ancient art of headology,
where keen senses and a sharp wit is crucial for guessing the answers that
they want to hear, and still make it vague enough to always turn out more
or less true...ish.
Yet, her visions of the future are very often in accordance with fate, a fact that
Triara seldom stays long enough to witness. She travels with her band of
two dogs and two coyotes, a very colourful assembly of vagabond canines.
The two couples take care of everything practical, setting up camps, acquiring food,
haggling with people, and just about everything that Triara isn't very good at.
Mostly she doesn´t notice; especially if a handsome male foxy happens to
dwell in her immediate vicinity.
What has recently begun to become clear to Triara is the fact that some
of her successes with influencing her customers might not necessarily be
the case of her headology. There are deeper, mightier forces lurking beneath the
surface, and in dreams, they have come to the vixen, showing her another
way: A hedonistic but yet tempting origin, unknown to any sophont of
Calabria; a not very flattering vision of a time when all the proud races of
today's marvellous civilization
were but animals, not even granted the basic right to walk upright like
a thinking being.
Needless to say, Triara doesn't tell many of her customers any such
nonsense. That'd be bad for business, and so crazy that nobody would
ever believe her. But once in a while, someone with faraway soul of
ancient times comes to her, and she takes him with her into the dream...
seeking a realm beyond time; beyond all his wildest imaginations.
During her travels, Triara managed to pick up an eager lover,
Taryn, who chose to follow her and share her
fate. Who knows what the future has in mind for the couple?
I bet Triara does!
