- If you had the choice of any occupation, what would you actually like to be?
.
I feel that I have chosen the correct path. Durag’s light has blessed me and I am obligated to do work in his name. You would be surprised how many people need to feel the sun’s warmth on their life.
. - Do you have any hobbies that you would like to be able to spend more time on?
.
I practice elegant writing in my spare time. Part of it is because of my work, but many times I do it for fun. Many beautiful pictures can be made from creatively writing a poem or random words.
. - What’s your favorite meal?
.
There are crackers made from my order’s highest temple. They are imbued with pure sunlight, which makes them very warm and light.
. - Do you play any musical instruments–if so, what? If you don’t, what would you like to play?
.
Priest of the sun can sing, but only for rituals. I assume that the mild skill can be transferred if need be.
. - Is there any one in particular that you wish you didn’t have to be around?
.
A man whose name I refuse to utter.
. - Have you ever been strongly attracted to someone and it never developed?
.
I apologize for the short answer, but no. Romance has never been a focus in my life. I always felt that it would happen if it was meant to be.
. - Are you surprised about what you have become? Is this what you expected when you were a child?
.
I did hope to be a warrior as a child, but the death of my mother changed my path. I do not know if I would say that I am surprised because that sounds . . . insulting to her memory. She made me want to help the world through more than violence. As a Duragian priest, I heal the sick, mend the injured, and destroy the creatures of corruption that threaten others. Perhaps in a way, I am a warrior.
. - What is your biggest fear?
.
To fail Durag and lose his warmth. To fall out of favoris the biggest fear for all priests and priestesses.
. - If you could change places with another person in Windemere, who would it be and why?
.
It may sound silly, but I wish I could change places with a friend who died. He would be upset with that sentiment since he was old and I am young. I can already hear him scolding me for being foolish and forgetting that I still have work to do. To be honest, I do have the power to speak with him from time to time. So when I say I can hear him scolding me, I mean I can hear his words from a distance.
. - What makes you happy?
.
Being in the sun, especially with friends.
. - What does teamwork mean to you?
.
Dedication to the path that everyone has agreed on. This does hint that one can stray if the group changes direction and you do not feel comfortable. Teams are not always written in stone since living beings change with experience and time.
. - How would you define honor?
.
Being true to your path and self. I would normally say that one can only have honor if they are good, but that might not always be true. Going by my own definition, an evil man can have honor among his peers by staying true to that life. Perhaps honor is in the eye of the beholder.
. - What’s the best way to hunt monsters?
.
I would recommend caution and bringing a healer. If you do not have such a person with you in the field then know where to find one quickly.
. - What’s your first response when someone makes you really, really mad?
.
To meditate and not act in anger. That is when one makes mistakes, so it is a mental state that should be kept in check.
. - What’s it like working for Charles?
.
This person is not familiar to me.
