Background for Nerissa

I grew up in the middle of no where in some frozen wasteland. I didn’t want to waste my life doing the same thing forever. Fishing for knucklehead trout. I wanted to be a hero! Kill evil, beat up Bad guys, find treasure in long forgotten dungeons filled with booby traps!

So I devised a plan. I convince our family friend, a fisherman too(who never talked, but was a great listener), to take me south the next big city. He protested more than I’ve ever seen him speak, but there was no way I was going to take no for an answer. I told him, “if you weren’t going to take me there, I’ll walk there myself!” Which is basically a death sentence.

There, I found a job with some other homeless freelancers doing work, but they ended up only taking advantage of my gifts, so I thought it best to dip out. Stealing and pickpocketing weren’t exactly high on my “okay” list. Unfortunately the law caught up with us before I could skip town and we got thrown in prison.

Prison sucked. I had to wait in there for a week until I could at least get a hearing. Of course fate had other plans than having me wait for the judicial process to handle my life. A strange black fog crept through the prison and entered ever book and cranny in the cells. It didn’t effect any of us in the jail cells but all the guards were choking and spitting out black tar and blood. It was horrifying!

Ultimately I had not idea what happened l, but every was set loose so i had a choice to make. Stay and be railroaded by a judge, or escape and live my dreams of being and adventurer. It was a quick and easy answer. Whether or not Thai comes back to haunt me is another thing, but I’ll deal with that later.

My parents have always told me about the Ice Comet that arrives every 1000 years. Now, My goal is to see the comet that will supposedly summon a benevolent spirit that will answer any one question. But what question would I ask?)
