Character of the Season
Frail in body but dangerously quick of mind, Nikandr is the sort of character who proves that curiosity can be just as perilous as any weapon. A necromancer, inventor, and problem-solver with more ambition than self-preservation, Niki approaches the world like a puzzle box begging to be opened, even when what’s inside has teeth. Blunt, dry-witted, fiercely independent, and carrying a history best left partially buried, he has a knack for making even failure feel fascinating. Whether he’s raising the dead, moving across Caido to King's End, or experiencing a hangover for the first time, Nikandr brings a wonderfully strange spark to Caido, and we can’t wait to see what trouble his brilliant mind wanders into next.
Congratulations, Niki!

How deeply are you sleeping or are you still awake? A good friend told me you've been staying out so late
It had been two years since Sohalia had received her quest from Frey, and she had to admit to some trepidation as she approached the shrine in the Greatwood. They seemed like the forgiving sort, but even so, two years was a long time, and the girl was ashamed that it had taken her so long. It was just that between her messy love life, her time as Stormbreak's Heart, and everything that had happened with the Family and the Void... well, a quest just for her had taken a bit of a backseat.
Soh approached the shrine with some seeds she'd picked up from the Fae, seeds for various winter crops that would excel even in the coldest of Deepfrosts. These she sat in a little hand-carved bowl upon the shrine, kneeling before it reverently. "Frey? I'm sorry it's been so long. I hope I'm not too late, but I've finished the tasks you set for me." Then she waited, head bowed, hoping she wouldn't be in trouble with the deity for her tardiness.

We'll be back soon. That's what Jude had said when he and Sohalia had departed to complete the quest they had given to them. And now Jude is not even in sight when Soh approaches. Luckily for Stormbreak's broken Heart, nature is patient and wild and ever changing, ever moving on, and so when Frey appears, their fingers reaching for the seeds which instantly begin to sprout and flourish.
"Imagine how long it must take for an ant to travel a distance we would cover in ten strides," it says softly, helping to grow the plants and flowers further and carefully setting them down into the earth beside the Crimson Cataract.
"The time does not matter. What matters is the journey, and the journey's end." Nodding towards the ore she'd brought, with a snap and pulse of power, Sohalia will find in its place two beautiful studded earrings.
"Use them well."
Sohalia has completed her quest and has received the following!
HEARings (1 & 2) | A pair of earrings that, when worn by two individuals, allows communication between them. Communication is only one way (i.e. HEARing 1 may speak and HEARing 2 may hear, but cannot respond). Both HEARing 1 and HEARing 2 are currently in Sohalia's possession.

Frey appeared, and Soh immediately lowered her gaze, a respectful gesture that portrayed her guilt for having taken so long to return. But they reached their fingers towards the seeds and plants began to grow, flourishing instantly, and Soh slowly began to relax. Surely if her offering was accepted, that would indicate that her tardiness was forgiven?
And then Frey spoke, further soothing her worries, and she smiled at them as they deposited her offered seeds into the earth beneath the Crimson Cataract. The deity snapped their fingers, and the ore that Sohalia had brought was instantly transformed into two beautiful, studded earrings that she picked up reverently. "Thank you, Frey," she said with a demure nod, placing both earrings into her ears until she could decide what to do with them. "I will do my best to do so."
