Sohalia

In truth, Sohalia had never really considered what she wanted to do with her life. She was still so young, after all, and knowing what she wanted to do when she grew up seemed so very far away. She knew that she'd have to do something eventually. But it had never really worried her. At least, not until recently, when the stash of coin she'd inherited from Auden had begun to dwindle and she'd been forced to think about what she'd do in order to replenish it.

And so when Deimos suggested mapmaking, Sohalia cocked her head to one side and considered the implications thoughtfully. She would be able to continue her travels and exploration, which she'd grown to love dearly. It would be wonderful to turn her passion into something that could bring her financial stability. "That would be wonderful! Do you really think people would be interested?" she asked eagerly. "Where would I find them?"
