Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stinky" data-source="post: 121545" data-attributes="member: 2601">Hrm, not sureI guess I was presumptuous to suggest that I knew what Ebri is...  What she's like, I guess, is something that's a little more evident.  I think she's going to be a sort of patron to the group- a guiding hand like Immar is to her.  Oracle, counsel, she's spending a lot of time learning or exploring, but that's not to say she doesn't seek to influence things a bit.  I don't think she's manipulative like one could imagine an Aes Sedai, for example, but I wouldn't be surprised if events come up where she feels she knows what is best for us better then we do.   Huge forces are afoot, and the nature of this game is that we couldn't hope to fully identify, much less take on the forces that are in conflict.  Ebri (whatever she is) and her superiors aren't directly involved, any more than they are DIRECTLY involved in anything.  But like Wolf guides us through the wilderness, Ebri is going to be our guide in a bigger world we don't know about.    I  imagine Ebri is Lvl1Priest,2Monk, although I think of her as an ass-kicking bard (though not that class), for though she doesn't sing songs, her independant travelling and collection of knowledge puts her in a position to influence and learn.  Queen's advisor, rather than the queen herself, to use an illustration.  This illustration only goes so far, though, because Ebri wouldn't tie herself to one person or specific cause.  I have no reason to believe that she is anything but human, and I don't think she'd be classified as 'angelic' or 'demonic', as I consider those things to be the spiritual knights of good and evil.  Immar has protectors and guides, not champions or zealots, in my imagination.    She knows and distrusts the shadows, but evidently doesn't have any kind of agenda for or against them.  Observer, subtle advisor.  Tell me, Siduri (the screen name of the player who plays Ebri), is this a type of role that you've wanted to play for a while?  How well would Ebri's advice and greater wisdom be reminiscent of a certain character, Siduri, from the Epic of Gilgamesh?  Wise, concerned, involved, but ultimately detached from any particular ambition...  just wanna help people along their way?  Or am I just grasping at straws?    Important part is that right now she and Immar aren't allies or enemies with the shadows...  I wonder if she knows to be interested in Burl...  I wonder what Immar would think about Carthagians teaming with flame guildsmen and cryomancers, making smart orcs for their dastardly deeds...  I wonder how the shadows are involved...   I bet silly Ebri could tell us lotsa interesting stuff about this, but she won't  =)</blockquote>
