Just been come in from Kythira. Kythira, that's me wahnga, meaning the homeland of my people, the Rripangu clan, and the great ancestor spirits. Not many of us on Kythira, mostly it's just the beast folk, and the little people like yourself," he nods to Grigo."Most times it's a land of plenty, eh? Beautiful place, full of mangroves and clear water. I reckon anybody half decent with a spear could eat their fill of fish and mangrove crabs. But a real djambatj like me, well most times I could bring in enough for me whole family just from a days hunting.""But that's the kicker mates, the real shameful bit..." Yimayngurr's eyes mist over as he speaks, "past year's been difficult, eh? Hard to find fresh water. All the little ancestors, the animals, they been hiding. Hard to find game, hard to gather food. Everyone hungry and thirsty. Me mum's sister Mayili lost her new baby cause her milk dried up.""One old man, Dhakanmirr, really hated meself. He been saying that the whole drought is my own fault, on account of me 'dirty blood'. See I'm the only half-orc of my people, eh? Me mum was always real good to me, even though I'm sure me face reminds her of the scum that had their way with her. Always treated me like one of the people. But, this old man, this Dhakanmirr, he been saying that the great ancestors don't take kindly to dirty bloods living among the people.""About two weeks ago that Dhakanmirr, he had a big sing to talk with the spirits of the Shadowrift, where me ancestors live. When he broke trance he says to everyone that the ancestors are angry on account of me, and if they get rid of me the little ancestors will come back, and there'll be food for all.""So just last week, after me seventeenth birthday they held the farewell dance, and put me in my canoe out to sea. I been exiled by my own people," despite his efforts to maintain his composure, a single tear runs down Yimayngurr's face as he says this."But the worst part of all mate, is when everyone was dancing the farewell with me in the middle, I got this vision. Wititj, the world serpent, he been opened me mind and spoke things into it, showing me what's to come. There's trouble ahead for my people. Orc's and monsters, and something else, something I can't quite place, they gonna be come to Kythira to take the wahnga by force. Don't know when, but I know it for true.""I can't go back to my people mates. But I've got to find a way to help them."[sblock=ooc]Hey there, new to enworld, PbP, and 4e, but looking forward to starting a game![/sblock]</blockquote>
