Established Lore

Unseelie: /* Fetchling */

During roleplay and in backstories much lore has been established that changes or extends the official Golarion canon. This page lists some details that may be relevant to character interactions or session planning.

= Ancestries =
== Fetchling ==
=== Origin ===
Fetchlings evolved in the Shadow Plane, but many have also settled in the material world.

=== Culture ===
Not much has been established regarding the culture of fetchlings, since all resident ones mostly adapted to the practices of Onadbyr. It has come up that the name "Kayal" for fetchlings is known to them, but they have not shown any specific preference on how they want to be called.

=== Language ===
Shadowtongue is mostly based on Finnish, though this is not a hard rule for future fetchling players. It has also been implied that the human ancestors of fetchlings spoke a language resembling German.

The language has words for grey/white hair from age that differs from the colour descriptor, also implying the texture difference. Though even for fetchlings it is hard to visually tell apart hair greyed by age from the almost white hair of especially light haired fetchlings.

=== Biology ===
The inner parts of fetchlings are as colourless as their hair and skin. This means they blush and bleed grey.

=== Shadow ===
Fetchling shadows start out as non-sapient and barely sentient, slowly developing more independence over time together with getting the ability to touch solid objects. Fetchlings from the above-mentioned village usually refer to their shadow as it/its, with only very few shadows showing a preference for different pronouns once they are sapient enough to understand the concept.

It appears that a fetchling growing their personal power accelerates this process. Mechanically this is represented by the various shadow-related ancestry feats.

= Heritages =
== Changelings ==
Changelings, or children of a hag mothers, are most often recognized by their heterochromatic eyes- one of which always corresponds to their hag mother. While Changelings are not discriminated against in [[Onadbyr]], that may not be the case elsewhere- especially in settlements where hags are particularly reviled. The specifics of the backstory are up to the player.

In Kelek, Changelings are haunted by the Call, a psychic urging by their mother to join her coven. The Call serves as a connection between the Changeling and their hag mother, though the specifics of the connection are yet unknown. It can cause nightmarish visions that haunt the Changeling, visions that prey on their deepest desires, or even just seemingly sourceless urges to leave their life behind. The Call grows stronger when a Changeling is near a domain of their mother, or their mother herself. How this is interpreted is up to the player. When the Call is at its strongest, the Changeling may be unable to control themselves, possibly losing memory of that time. The only way to completely stop the Call is through the death of the mother, which, if desired, can be handled through a session or arc ran by a [[GM]]. To start such an arc, open a [[Ticket]] to find an interested GM.

= Calendar =
Each month in real life matches one season consisting of 90 days in Kelek. The game started in Spring 223 (March 2023). It is therefore currently {{#switch: {{#expr:{{CURRENTMONTH}} mod 4}} | 0=Summer | 1=Autumn | 2=Winter | 3=Spring}} {{#expr:floor((({{CURRENTYEAR}}-2023)*36-9+{{CURRENTMONTH}}*3)/12)+223}}.

The in-game calendar is based off of the [https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Absalom_Reckoning Absalom Reckoning] of Golarion.

== Days of the Week ==
* '''Moonday:''' Generally a work day with some religions holding ceremonies at night.
* '''Toilday:''' A work day.
* '''Wealday:''' A work day.
* '''Oathday:''' A work day on which it is often considered advantageous to sign contracts and oaths.
* '''Fireday:''' A work day that is most often the market day.
* '''Starday:''' A work day.
* '''Sunday:''' Generally a day of rest and one devoted to religious observances.

== Months ==
Each month lasts 30 days.
=== Spring ===
* '''Pharast:''' An early spring month named after [[Pharsma|Pharasma]], the goddess of birth and death.
* '''Gozran:''' A stormy month named for the god of the wind, [[Gozreh]].
* '''Desnus:''' A mild month named for the goddess [[Desna]].

=== Summer ===
* '''Sarenith:''' The sun goddess [[Sarenrae]] gives her name to this sun-blessed month.
* '''Erastus:''' Named in honor of [[Erastil]].
* '''Arodus:''' Although he is no longer widely worshiped, the summer month is named for the dead god Aroden.

=== Autumn ===
* '''Rova:''' The beginning of autumn is named after the violent god [[Rovagug]]. Dwarves dispute naming a month after such a destructive and evil deity and instead name the ninth month Torawsh after their creator god, [[Torag]].
* '''Lamashan:''' Named for [[Lamashtu]], the goddess of monsters.
* '''Neth:''' Named for [[Nethys]], the two-faced god of magic.

=== Winter ===
* '''Kuthona:''' The shortest day of the year comes during the month named after the god of darkness, [[Zon-Kuthon]].

==The First Tree, The One Who is Many (N)==
As long as the First World existed, the First Tree stood within, a rare constant in the evershifting realm. All throughout, and often beyond, its roots carry currents of both stability and chaos, spreading ever farther. But while the tree is one in its desire to grow, it is also many. Each leaf, each branch they hang from, each petal in its blooms, each strip of bark on its enormous trunk, and each offshoot of its roots, all with their own desires and missions that often see them separated, yet always returning to again be part of the whole. It welcomes all who wish to grow, be it in body or in mind, offering them protection and assistance in exchange for a share of what they gain. Those who impress it may even be offered to become part of the collective being. 
The First Tree has neutral or positive relations with most eldest, but stands directly opposed to [https://2e.aonprd.com/Deities.aspx?ID=100 Shyka].

Petal is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]]. One of the many that will grow.

== Description ==
Petal is a very small sprite with four insectoid wings but an otherwise humanoid appearance. She has light skin that is unexpectedly rough to the touch, pointed ears, and no discernable pupil or iris in her eyes. Her hair is fairly short and intermixed with leaves. On most occasions she is wearing an armour made of leaves and vines that appears to partially grow out of her.

Petals and dew drops often whirl through the air in a wide area around her.

(She does not yet have the earrings and other accessories pictured in her portrait.)

Taso Autio is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]], though they spend most of the time in their workshop, [[The Dollhouse]].

== Description ==
Like their parents, but unlike her chaos-touched fraternal twin sister, Taso is a deep fetchling. Besides being comparatively short, their appearance is fairly typical for their ancestry, with white hair, glowing white eyes, and grey skin perhaps slightly darker than her sister's.

Most days they can be seen wearing nice, but not overly fancy, dresses, often covered by a leather apron splattered with all kinds of paints, glues, and other crafting materials. Outside of combat they tends to wear a single pair of dangling, silver earrings, and often a matching necklace. They wear their hair in a long braid.

For combat they do away with the jewellery and instead don quilted armour and fight with a rapier. Having witnessed [[Batective]]'s abilities with guns, they are currently considering that path as well.

Taso's shadow is very shy among most people, usually hiding either beneath Taso's dress, or in the shadows of nearby objects, adapting to their shape. It avoids touching the shadows of living creatures unless it is very familiar with them, even more so if those shadows are bound to the movements of those who cast them. However, these attempts are often unsuccessful since its own pitch-black appearance usually unnaturally darkens the shadows it hides in.

== Background ==
Taso, together with her fraternal twin sister [[Tarina "Taru" Autio|Taru]], was born in a small village on the material plane mostly populated by fetchlings that had to flee the shadow plane during [[The Collapse]].

Some lingering fragment of chaos came into contact with their mother during her pregnancy, apparently only affecting Taru and leaving Taso a normal fetchling. While Taso always supported her sister, they were also secretly glad for Taru's colourful presence attracting attention away from them and sparing them from having to interact with others more than strictly necessary. 
There was, however, one exception to Taso's avoidance of people: They always enjoyed the company of children, finding them much easier to interact with, or as they might phrase it, their reactions more straightforward to predict. This increased even further when Taso discovered their love for handicraft and how even simple creation could elicit unadulterated joy in children. As a result they often took care of the village's children when their parents were busy, crafting toys for them or even teaching them how to do so themselves.

When Taru decided to go on an adventure, Taso decided to join her to further their knowledge of the world and of crafting techniques. The two of them have a rather strange relationship, getting along famously in letters and occasional meetings, but mostly bickering whenever they spend more than a day or so together. Somehow they made travelling together work anyway.

Soon before arriving in [[Onadbyr]] they split up, Taso staying in a village with a prominent artisan willing to teach them more about the making of dolls while Taru travelled on. The two still regularly exchanged letters and a few months later, having been told about the city extensively, Taso moved to Onadbyr as well.

== Familiar==
Besides her crafting endeavours, Taso also experimented with primal magic and investigated forces granting such powers to those born without any talent for them. Their efforts attracted the attention of a young [https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1025 scalliwing], who soon decided to not only tutor Taso in magic, but also, and perhaps primarily, assist them in social situations.
Since she didn't have a name before and her colourful appearance and virtuous, if a bit impulsive, personality reminded Taso of her sister, she named her new familiar Tarunen.

[[File:tarunen_lizardsoup.png|thumb|355px|alt=A colourful, winged snake. It is red with a yellow belly, accented by blue and green feathers on the neck and back. The wings consist of blue and green feathers as well. | Tarunen, Taso's familiar.]]

== Life in Onadbyr ==
Taso spends most of the time in their workshop they have dubbed "The Dollhouse", where they further their techniques in toymaking and occasional other crafts. To finance this, Taso also became an associate and goes on occasional missions, but unlike her sister, she mostly regards them as work.

After a very productive season in which they built up a substantial assortment of dolls, Taso decided to open their workshop to the public, hoping to sell, or perhaps sometimes even just give away, some of their creations.

== Pronouns ==
Taso uses both They/Them and She/Her. If pressed they would express a mild preference towards the former, but in the context of their relation to Taru, she prefers being called her sister.

== Etymology ==
Taso's names are based on Finnish words. Their first name, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taso#Finnish Taso], means "Level", both in the sense of a flat surface and a set standard, symbolising their less brash presence compared to her sister, and their methodical, standardised approach to many things, especially crafting.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autio#Finnish Autio], their last name, translates to "Desolate" or "Uninhabited", referencing large parts of the Shadow Plane. It is a very common last name in their culture.

Taru[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Finnish_diminutive_suffixes nen] is a diminutive form of Taru, named so because she reminded Taso of her sister.

Tarina Autio, or Taru as she prefers, is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]], wishing to tell the tales of both heroics she witnesses and those she performs herself.

== Description ==
=== Original ===
Taru is a [[Established Lore|fetchling]] ganzi, the latter granting her a frame taller and more muscular than what is typical for fetchlings. This heritage is further expressed in a line of blue scales over her left eye, mirroring a scar over her right eye she earned in her childhood, as well as a pair of bright orange, fairly small, and not fully material wings, resembling those of a [https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1262 peri]. Her skin is of a middling grey tone, and her hair a bluish grey. Like most fetchlings, she has glowing eyes.

Her usual adventuring outfit consists of a quilted armour, any sturdy pairs of pants and boots she could get hold of, a longsword, a whip, a sling, a dagger, and a lute. However, the last she only carries for merrymaking, relying on speeches and spells to support her allies in combat. She also wears several piercings in both ears, preferring small rings or studs that do not pose too great a hazard in melee fights.

Due to usually travelling light, she tends to wear the same things outside of adventuring, only storing part of her weaponry somewhere should she have the option. This may change now that she has a semi-permanent dwelling. She dislikes people staring at her scar and scales, so when not among adventurers she also often dons a half-mask hiding these features.

[[File:taru_mask.png|thumb|355px|alt=A blue and gold upper half face mask. It is partially decorated with black-on-white musical notes. | The mask Taru used to wear among people she is not familiar with, especially those who are not adventurers.]]

Taru's shadow, while mostly sticking to the same shape as Taru, never stays still, always exploring anything around itself, and completely lacking any concept of personal space. It is very outgoing and usually tries to greet the shadows of other living beings, often leading to disappointment when they do no react. It quickly gets over any such distress, but Taru still tries to avoid it by matching the timing her own greetings of non-fetchlings to those of her shadow.

[[File:taru_flattering_portrait.jpg|thumb|355px|alt=A portrait of Taru, mostly as in her original description, but perhaps a bit intentionally flattering. | A very flattering portrait of Taru. Painted by a travelling artist she and her sister saved before arriving in Onadbyr. (By [https://www.reddit.com/user/Roujin_/ Roujin_])]]

=== Changes while living in Onadbyr ===
Some months into living in Onadbyr, Taru replaced her old half-mask with a full face mask capable of changing shapes and enhancing her performances.
She also upgraded from her quilted armour to first a custom hide armour, and now full plate, both featuring the emblems of [[Cayden Cailean]] on the front and of [[Desna]] on the sleeves.
Recently she expanded her arsenal, removing the longsword and sling, but instead adding a bastard sword, a kusarigama, a tekko-kagi, and a composite shortbow, with runes applied to the first two. (For a short time she had a greatsword instead of the bastard sword, but it didn't take her long to switch that out.)

Taru's shadow is slowly gaining a sort of ethereal substance. As of summer 225, it is able to touch objects enough to interact with them.

== Background ==
Taru, together with her fraternal twin sister [[Taso Autio|Taso]], was born in a small village on the material plane mostly populated by fetchlings that had to flee the shadow plane during [[The Collapse]].

Some lingering fragment of chaos came into contact with her mother during her pregnancy, apparently only affecting Taru and leaving her sister a normal fetchling.
While Taru's unusual appearance certainly drew glances and whispers, she was generally accepted in her village, staying there until she finished an apprenticeship as a bard and decided to experience adventuring herself rather than just telling stories about it. (An anecdote she loves to tell is that she earned herself the nickname of "Butcher of Legends" at that time—occasionally she will also reveal that it was for her absolutely atrocious first attempt at retelling legends before an audience.)

Her sister, wishing to learn more about crafting techniques around the world, decided to tag along. The two of them have a rather strange relationship, getting along famously in letters and occasional meetings, but mostly bickering whenever they spend more than a day or so together. Somehow they made travelling together work anyway.

They split up soon before Taru arrived in [[Onadbyr]], Taso staying a while in a workshop they came across to learn of their methods. The two still regularly exchanged letters and a few month later Taso joined her sister in the city.

== Life in Onadbyr ==
Taru greatly enjoys living in Onadbyr and being an Associate. She joins missions as often as she can, as long as she believes she will be more help than hindrance.

She spends most evenings in taverns telling tales of heroes and adventures, both for fun and as a secondary source of income.

=== Melfyra ===
In mid-225 [[Melfyra]], at the time freshly a vampire, faced persecution due to being undead. Refusing to let people be judged for what they are, Taru started to protect her and they soon moved in together to make this more convenient.

Melfyra quickly developed a crush on Taru, her almost literal knight in shining armour, but originally Taru only viewed her as a housemate she intends to protect. (The idea of any physical relation with an undead body also made her a bit queasy, no matter how much she appreciated the person inhabiting it.) 
This slowly changed over time, and in Summer 227 Taru translated and adapted an old song of her people to express her feelings for Melfyra. While the shock of her crush asking her out so boldly at first made Melfyra faint, they officially got together after.

Since then Taru sometimes sings the translated song that she calls "The Wild Maiden's Spell" in the taverns she performs in.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
! colspan="1" | The Wild Maiden's Spell
|-
|
(The song is a translation/adaption of the German song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUlIjhUzZN0 Vom Zauber des Wildfräuleins] by [https://www.versengold.com/songtext/vom-zauber-des-wildfraeuleins Versengold] and is sung to the same melody.)

Once long ago as I wandered alone, 
in the deepest of woods I got lost. 
And as with hope gone, my fate I thought known, 
it all changed as a clearing I crossed.

There light and wind on the waving grass played 
and sat amidst blossoms and fern, 
a maiden against whom a spring day would fade. 
Entranced by the world in return.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

With eyes as lovely as belladonna berries, 
her bright smile a treasure of bliss. 
Her skin cold as snow smelled of lilac and cherries, 
and her hair the colour of night's kiss

Her elegant form clad with naught but a dress, 
finely woven from petals and leaves. 
And she pulled me down into her sweet caress, 
to kiss away all my tears and past griefs.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

Readily I followed the pull of her arms, 
sunk down into the wild maidens lap. 
My worries and sense lost to her soothing charms, 
as on the bed made from moss we'd nap.

I dreamt of summers and winters that fled, 
and reality faded away. 
And I dreamt without me the years moved ahead, 
as I lived with her love every day.

And when I opened my eyes and the dream dropped its veil, 
I was grey-haired, my death in the air. 
And the maiden that was recounting my tale, 
smiled gently and caressed my hair.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away 
All things flow, all things float, so be ready this day. 
Many a moment flies quick as a life could play, 
in the wild maiden's spell and the time in her sway.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to cry, cry! 
If you wish to scream, scream! 
If you wish to dance, dance one last time with me!

And I breathed: Why would I cry or scream? 
If I was back in the prime of my youth, 
I'd gladly for just this one moment anew, 
give my life all over again.

=== Pet ===
In autumn 225, Taru [[Samara Slitherslimes Shifting Slime Shop | received a frost ora]] as reward for… training said frost ora. She is still unsure what Samara got out of that deal.

The frost ora is named Aeve, after a legendary slime whose story Taru has heard. They are trained to orate tales backwards for an audience and to collect rewards after.

== Religion ==
While Taru is not deeply religious, she follows the teachings of both [[Cayden Cailean]] and [[Desna]]. One could argue that she respects the latter more as a divinity, but she looks up to Cayden as a person and even became one of his champions.

== Etymology ==
Taru's names are based on Finnish words. Her first name, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tarina#Finnish Tarina], means "Story" or "Tale", aggrandised in her nickname [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taru#Finnish Taru], which means "Epic" or "Legend", symbolising her own aspirations.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autio#Finnish Autio], her last name, translates to "Desolate" or "Uninhabited", referencing large parts of the Shadow Plane. It is a very common last name in her culture.

Aeve is named after a Magic: The Gathering card, the legendary slime [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=522224 Aeve, Progenitor Ooze].

Taru greatly enjoys living in Onadbyr and being an Associate. She joins missions as often as she can, as long as she believes she will be more help than hindrance.

She spends most evenings in taverns telling tales of heroes and adventures, both for fun and as a secondary source of income.

=== Melfyra ===
In mid-225 [[Melfyra]], at the time freshly a vampire, faced persecution due to being undead. Refusing to let people be judged for what they are, Taru started to protect her and they soon moved in together to make this more convenient.

Melfyra quickly developed a crush on Taru, her almost literal knight in shining armour, but originally Taru only viewed her as a housemate she intends to protect. (The idea of any physical relation with an undead body also made her a bit queasy, no matter how much she appreciated the person inhabiting it.) 
This slowly changed over time, and in Summer 227 Taru translated and adapted an old song of her people to express her feelings for Melfyra. While the shock of her crush asking her out so boldly at first made Melfyra faint, they officially got together after.

Since then Taru sometimes sings the translated song that she calls "The Wild Maiden's Spell" in the taverns she performs in.

Once long ago as I wandered alone, 
in the deepest of woods I got lost. 
And as with hope gone, my fate I thought known, 
it all changed as a clearing I crossed.

There light and wind on the waving grass played 
and sat amidst blossoms and fern, 
a maiden against whom a spring day would fade. 
Entranced by the world in return.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

With eyes as lovely as belladonna berries, 
her bright smile a treasure of bliss. 
Her skin cold as snow smelled of lilac and cherries, 
and her hair the colour of night's kiss

Her elegant form clad with naught but a dress, 
finely woven from petals and leaves. 
And she pulled me down into her sweet caress, 
to kiss away all my tears and past griefs.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

Readily I followed the pull of her arms, 
sunk down into the wild maidens lap. 
My worries and sense lost to her soothing charms, 
as on the bed made from moss we'd nap.

I dreamt of summers and winters that fled, 
and reality faded away. 
And I dreamt without me the years moved ahead, 
as I lived with her love every day.

And when I opened my eyes and the dream dropped its veil, 
I was grey-haired, my death in the air. 
And the maiden that was recounting my tale, 
smiled gently and caressed my hair.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away 
All things flow, all things float, so be ready this day. 
Many a moment flies quick as a life could play, 
in the wild maiden's spell and the time in her sway.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to cry, cry! 
If you wish to scream, scream! 
If you wish to dance, dance one last time with me!

And I breathed: Why would I cry or scream? 
If I was back in the prime of my youth, 
I'd gladly for just this one moment anew, 
give my life all over again.

In autumn 225, Taru [[Samara Slitherslimes Shifting Slime Shop | received a frost ora]] as reward for… training said frost ora. She is still unsure what Samara got out of that deal.

The frost ora is named Aeve, after a legendary slime whose story Taru has heard. They are trained to orate tales backwards for an audience and to collect rewards after.

== Religion ==
While Taru is not deeply religious, she follows the teachings of both [[Cayden Cailean]] and [[Desna]]. One could argue that she respects the latter more as a divinity, but she looks up to Cayden as a person and even became one of his champions.

== Etymology ==
Taru's names are based on Finnish words. Her first name, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tarina#Finnish Tarina], means "Story" or "Tale", aggrandised in her nickname [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taru#Finnish Taru], which means "Epic" or "Legend", symbolising her own aspirations.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autio#Finnish Autio], her last name, translates to "Desolate" or "Uninhabited", referencing large parts of the Shadow Plane. It is a very common last name in her culture.

Aeve is named after a Magic: The Gathering card, the legendary slime [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=522224 Aeve, Progenitor Ooze].

Tarina Autio, or Taru as she prefers, is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]], wishing to tell the tales of both heroics she witnesses and those she performs herself.

== Description ==
=== Original ===
Taru is a [[Established Lore|fetchling]] ganzi, the latter granting her a frame taller and more muscular than what is typical for fetchlings. This heritage is further expressed in a line of blue scales over her left eye, mirroring a scar over her right eye she earned in her childhood, as well as a pair of bright orange, fairly small, and not fully material wings, resembling those of a [https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1262 peri]. Her skin is of a middling grey tone, and her hair a bluish grey. Like most fetchlings, she has glowing eyes.

Her usual adventuring outfit consists of a quilted armour, any sturdy pairs of pants and boots she could get hold of, a longsword, a whip, a sling, a dagger, and a lute. However, the last she only carries for merrymaking, relying on speeches and spells to support her allies in combat. She also wears several piercings in both ears, preferring small rings or studs that do not pose too great a hazard in melee fights.

Due to usually travelling light, she tends to wear the same things outside of adventuring, only storing part of her weaponry somewhere should she have the option. This may change now that she has a semi-permanent dwelling. She dislikes people staring at her scar and scales, so when not among adventurers she also often dons a half-mask hiding these features.

[[File:taru_mask.png|thumb|355px|alt=A blue and gold upper half face mask. It is partially decorated with black-on-white musical notes. | The mask Taru used to wear among people she is not familiar with, especially those who are not adventurers.]]

Taru's shadow, while mostly sticking to the same shape as Taru, never stays still, always exploring anything around itself, and completely lacking any concept of personal space. It is very outgoing and usually tries to greet the shadows of other living beings, often leading to disappointment when they do no react. It quickly gets over any such distress, but Taru still tries to avoid it by matching the timing her own greetings of non-fetchlings to those of her shadow.

[[File:taru_flattering_portrait.jpg|thumb|355px|alt=A portrait of Taru, mostly as in her original description, but perhaps a bit intentionally flattering. | A very flattering portrait of Taru. Painted by a travelling artist she and her sister saved before arriving in Onadbyr. (By [https://www.reddit.com/user/Roujin_/ Roujin_])]]

=== Changes while living in Onadbyr ===
Some months into living in Onadbyr, Taru replaced her old half-mask with a full face mask capable of changing shapes and enhancing her performances.
She also upgraded from her quilted armour to first a custom hide armour, and now full plate, both featuring the emblems of [[Cayden Cailean]] on the front and of [[Desna]] on the sleeves.
Recently she expanded her arsenal, removing the longsword and sling, but instead adding a bastard sword, a kusarigama, a tekko-kagi, and a composite shortbow, with runes applied to the first two. (For a short time she had a greatsword instead of the bastard sword, but it didn't take her long to switch that out.)

Taru's shadow is slowly gaining a sort of ethereal substance. As of summer 225, it is able to touch objects enough to interact with them.

== Background ==
Taru, together with her fraternal twin sister [[Taso Autio|Taso]], was born in a small village on the material plane mostly populated by fetchlings that had to flee the shadow plane during [[The Collapse]].

Some lingering fragment of chaos came into contact with her mother during her pregnancy, apparently only affecting Taru and leaving her sister a normal fetchling.
While Taru's unusual appearance certainly drew glances and whispers, she was generally accepted in her village, staying there until she finished an apprenticeship as a bard and decided to experience adventuring herself rather than just telling stories about it. (An anecdote she loves to tell is that she earned herself the nickname of "Butcher of Legends" at that time—occasionally she will also reveal that it was for her absolutely atrocious first attempt at retelling legends before an audience.)

Her sister, wishing to learn more about crafting techniques around the world, decided to tag along. The two of them have a rather strange relationship, getting along famously in letters and occasional meetings, but mostly bickering whenever they spend more than a day or so together. Somehow they made travelling together work anyway.

They split up soon before Taru arrived in [[Onadbyr]], Taso staying a while in a workshop they came across to learn of their methods. The two still regularly exchanged letters and a few month later Taso joined her sister in the city.

== Life in Onadbyr ==
Taru greatly enjoys living in Onadbyr and being an Associate. She joins missions as often as she can, as long as she believes she will be more help than hindrance.

She spends most evenings in taverns telling tales of heroes and adventures, both for fun and as a secondary source of income.

=== Melfyra ===
In mid-225 [[Melfyra]], at the time freshly a vampire, faced persecution due to being undead. Refusing to let people be judged for what they are, Taru started to protect her and they soon moved in together to make this more convenient.

Melfyra quickly developed a crush on Taru, her almost literal knight in shining armour, but originally Taru only viewed her as a housemate she intends to protect.

Petal is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]]. One of the many that will grow.

== Description ==
Petal is a very small sprite with four insectoid wings but an otherwise humanoid appearance. She has light skin that is unexpectedly rough to the touch, pointed ears, and no discernable pupil or iris in her eyes. Her hair is fairly short and intermixed with leaves. On most occasions she is wearing an armour made of leaves and vines that appears to partially grow out of her.

Petals and dew drops often whirl through the air in a wide area around her.

(She does not yet have the earrings and other accessories pictured in her portrait.)

Tarina Autio, or Taru as she prefers, is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]], wishing to tell the tales of both heroics she witnesses and those she performs herself.

== Description ==
=== Original ===
Taru is a [[Established Lore|fetchling]] ganzi, the latter granting her a frame taller and more muscular than what is typical for fetchlings. This heritage is further expressed in a line of blue scales over her left eye, mirroring a scar over her right eye she earned in her childhood, as well as a pair of bright orange, fairly small, and not fully material wings, resembling those of a [https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1262 peri]. Her skin is of a middling grey tone, and her hair a bluish grey. Like most fetchlings, she has glowing eyes.

Her usual adventuring outfit consists of a quilted armour, any sturdy pairs of pants and boots she could get hold of, a longsword, a whip, a sling, a dagger, and a lute. However, the last she only carries for merrymaking, relying on speeches and spells to support her allies in combat. She also wears several piercings in both ears, preferring small rings or studs that do not pose too great a hazard in melee fights.

Due to usually travelling light, she tends to wear the same things outside of adventuring, only storing part of her weaponry somewhere should she have the option. This may change now that she has a semi-permanent dwelling. She dislikes people staring at her scar and scales, so when not among adventurers she also often dons a half-mask hiding these features.

Taru's shadow, while mostly sticking to the same shape as Taru, never stays still, always exploring anything around itself, and completely lacking any concept of personal space. It is very outgoing and usually tries to greet the shadows of other living beings, often leading to disappointment when they do no react. It quickly gets over any such distress, but Taru still tries to avoid it by matching the timing her own greetings of non-fetchlings to those of her shadow.

[[File:taru_flattering_portrait.jpg|thumb|355px|alt=A portrait of Taru, mostly as in her original description, but perhaps a bit intentionally flattering. | A very flattering portrait of Taru. Painted by a travelling artist she and her sister saved before arriving in Onadbyr. (By [https://www.reddit.com/user/Roujin_/ Roujin_])]]

=== Changes while living in Onadbyr ===
Some months into living in Onadbyr, Taru replaced her old half-mask with a full face mask capable of changing shapes and enhancing her performances.
She also upgraded from her quilted armour to first a custom hide armour, and now full plate, both featuring the emblems of [[Cayden Cailean]] on the front and of [[Desna]] on the sleeves.
Recently she expanded her arsenal, removing the longsword and sling, but instead adding a bastard sword, a kusarigama, a tekko-kagi, and a composite shortbow, with runes applied to the first two. (For a short time she had a greatsword instead of the bastard sword, but it didn't take her long to switch that out.)

Taru's shadow is slowly gaining a sort of ethereal substance. As of summer 225, it is able to touch objects enough to interact with them.

== Background ==
Taru, together with her fraternal twin sister [[Taso Autio|Taso]], was born in a small village on the material plane mostly populated by fetchlings that had to flee the shadow plane during [[The Collapse]].

Some lingering fragment of chaos came into contact with her mother during her pregnancy, apparently only affecting Taru and leaving her sister a normal fetchling.
While Taru's unusual appearance certainly drew glances and whispers, she was generally accepted in her village, staying there until she finished an apprenticeship as a bard and decided to experience adventuring herself rather than just telling stories about it. (An anecdote she loves to tell is that she earned herself the nickname of "Butcher of Legends" at that time—occasionally she will also reveal that it was for her absolutely atrocious first attempt at retelling legends before an audience.)

Her sister, wishing to learn more about crafting techniques around the world, decided to tag along. The two of them have a rather strange relationship, getting along famously in letters and occasional meetings, but mostly bickering whenever they spend more than a day or so together. Somehow they made travelling together work anyway.

They split up soon before Taru arrived in [[Onadbyr]], Taso staying a while in a workshop they came across to learn of their methods. The two still regularly exchanged letters and a few month later Taso joined her sister in the city.

== Life in Onadbyr ==
Taru greatly enjoys living in Onadbyr and being an Associate. She joins missions as often as she can, as long as she believes she will be more help than hindrance.

She spends most evenings in taverns telling tales of heroes and adventures, both for fun and as a secondary source of income.

=== Melfyra ===
In mid-225 [[Melfyra]], at the time freshly a vampire, faced persecution due to being undead. Refusing to let people be judged for what they are, Taru started to protect her and they soon moved in together to make this more convenient.

Melfyra quickly developed a crush on Taru, her almost literal knight in shining armour, but originally Taru only viewed her as a housemate she intends to protect. (The idea of any physical relation with an undead body also made her a bit queasy, no matter how much she appreciated the person inhabiting it.) 
This slowly changed over time, and in Summer 227 Taru translated and adapted an old song of her people to express her feelings for Melfyra. While the shock of her crush asking her out so boldly at first made Melfyra faint, they officially got together after.

Since then Taru sometimes sings the translated song that she calls "The Wild Maiden's Spell" in the taverns she performs in.

(The song is a translation/adaption of the German song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUlIjhUzZN0 Vom Zauber des Wildfräuleins] by [https://www.versengold.com/songtext/vom-zauber-des-wildfraeuleins Versengold] and is sung to the same melody.)

Once long ago as I wandered alone, 
in the deepest of woods I got lost. 
And as with hope gone, my fate I thought known, 
it all changed as a clearing I crossed.

There light and wind on the waving grass played 
and sat amidst blossoms and fern, 
a maiden against whom a spring day would fade. 
Entranced by the world in return.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

With eyes as lovely as belladonna berries, 
her bright smile a treasure of bliss. 
Her skin cold as snow smelled of lilac and cherries, 
and her hair the colour of night's kiss

Her elegant form clad with naught but a dress, 
finely woven from petals and leaves. 
And she pulled me down into her sweet caress, 
to kiss away all my tears and past griefs.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

Readily I followed the pull of her arms, 
sunk down into the wild maidens lap. 
My worries and sense lost to her soothing charms, 
as on the bed made from moss we'd nap.

I dreamt of summers and winters that fled, 
and reality faded away. 
And I dreamt without me the years moved ahead, 
as I lived with her love every day.

And when I opened my eyes and the dream dropped its veil, 
I was grey-haired, my death in the air. 
And the maiden that was recounting my tale, 
smiled gently and caressed my hair.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away 
All things flow, all things float, so be ready this day. 
Many a moment flies quick as a life could play, 
in the wild maiden's spell and the time in her sway.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to cry, cry! 
If you wish to scream, scream! 
If you wish to dance, dance one last time with me!

And I breathed: Why would I cry or scream? 
If I was back in the prime of my youth, 
I'd gladly for just this one moment anew, 
give my life all over again.

In autumn 225, Taru [[Samara Slitherslimes Shifting Slime Shop | received a frost ora]] as reward for… training said frost ora. She is still unsure what Samara got out of that deal.

The frost ora is named Aeve, after a legendary slime whose story Taru has heard. They are trained to orate tales backwards for an audience and to collect rewards after.

== Religion ==
While Taru is not deeply religious, she follows the teachings of both [[Cayden Cailean]] and [[Desna]]. One could argue that she respects the latter more as a divinity, but she looks up to Cayden as a person and even became one of his champions.

== Etymology ==
Taru's names are based on Finnish words. Her first name, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tarina#Finnish Tarina], means "Story" or "Tale", aggrandised in her nickname [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taru#Finnish Taru], which means "Epic" or "Legend", symbolising her own aspirations.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autio#Finnish Autio], her last name, translates to "Desolate" or "Uninhabited", referencing large parts of the Shadow Plane. It is a very common last name in her culture.

Aeve is named after a Magic: The Gathering card, the legendary slime [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=522224 Aeve, Progenitor Ooze].

Associates grudgingly assist a dwarf by killing a chimera and chasing away a medusa. They aren't done yet.
== Log ==
First off, this isn't over yet. I fully expect we will need to return since Irena Igneous got away and certainly hasn't given up on her plans yet.

But to start at the beginning: We, [[Aster]], [[Kirrily Icesickle|Kirrily]], [[Sahona Bright-Eyed|Sahona]] and I, were hired to deal with kobolds who caused miners to disappear. As it (very) soon turned out, the kobolds were not to blame, but rather had been incredibly tolerant of the dwarves that invaded their home.

What rather caused the disappearances and also caused the kobolds fear was something hidden deeper in the mine that turned the miners to stone. Suspecting a basilisks we moved in following the kobolds' directions and were soon attacked by three Xorns, creatures that, according to Sahona, are not capable of turning flesh to stone. They were quickly dealt with and we pressed on.

Deeper in we found the tracks of what we assumed to be a chimera, a suspicion soon confirmed by Sahona who scouted ahead. It was a rather unusual beast, sporting the heads (and abilities) of a [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/9/92/Bigbirdnewversion.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/280?cb=20120128201030 large yellow roc], a cave worm, and a witchwarg. Despite its fearsome appearance, it did not pose too much of a danger. Even while flying to the top of the surprisingly high cave, it could not escape Kirrily's flight and the gigantic form that Sahona took.

However, during our fight Irena Igneous, a medusa several of us have met before in a [[Snakes in the Grass|previous mission]], showed herself and attempted to turn us to stone. While she did not succeed, we, in return, could not do anything against her escaping underground. We do not know what she was after, but it cannot have been anything good. Another mission will be needed to deal with the threat she poses.

However, beyond this, the expedition revealed another glaring problem: The commissions posted to associates are not properly vetted. It was our luck that Myrmyra Mightreach acted incredibly suspicious and the kobolds were willing to talk rather than their experiences driving them to defensive behaviour, otherwise we may have taken the mission as original posted and dealt with the supposed threat rather than the real one. It is clear now that Myrmyra and his miners are the invaders.

While there are no laws so far outside Onadbyr, we cannot let Associates be used to enact, essentially, banditry. To invade the homes of a peaceful tribe in the name of a money-hungry client. At the very least Myrmyra Mightreach must be blacklisted by the council, but beyond that rules must be put into place to prevent something like this from happening again. In addition I advice caution to all associates, to ensure their employers are trustworthy and the mission is, indeed, as it was stated.

Signed, 
[[Tarina "Taru" Autio|Tarina Autio]], Associate of [[the Round Table]].

Nho is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]].

== Description ==
Nho is a tall, yet unfinished construct. Where metal is missing, instead solidified holy energy fills out the body, allowing Nho to operate. Since the same energy lead to Nho's psychic prowess, expressions thereof often show around the replaced body parts.

Tarina Autio, or Taru as she prefers, is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]], wishing to tell the tales of both heroics she witnesses and those she performs herself.

== Description ==
=== Original ===
Taru is a [[Established Lore|fetchling]] ganzi, the latter granting her a frame taller and more muscular than what is typical for fetchlings. This heritage is further expressed in a line of blue scales over her left eye, mirroring a scar over her right eye she earned in her childhood, as well as a pair of bright orange, fairly small, and not fully material wings, resembling those of a [https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1262 peri]. Her skin is of a middling grey tone, and her hair a bluish grey. Like most fetchlings, she has glowing eyes.

Her usual adventuring outfit consists of a quilted armour, any sturdy pairs of pants and boots she could get hold of, a longsword, a whip, a sling, a dagger, and a lute. However, the last she only carries for merrymaking, relying on speeches and spells to support her allies in combat. She also wears several piercings in both ears, preferring small rings or studs that do not pose too great a hazard in melee fights.

Due to usually travelling light, she tends to wear the same things outside of adventuring, only storing part of her weaponry somewhere should she have the option. This may change now that she has a semi-permanent dwelling. She dislikes people staring at her scar and scales, so when not among adventurers she also often dons a half-mask hiding these features.

[[File:taru_mask.png|thumb|355px|alt=A blue and gold upper half face mask. It is partially decorated with black-on-white musical notes. | The mask Taru used to wear among people she is not familiar with, especially those who are not adventurers.]]

Taru's shadow, while mostly sticking to the same shape as Taru, never stays still, always exploring anything around itself, and completely lacking any concept of personal space. It is very outgoing and usually tries to greet the shadows of other living beings, often leading to disappointment when they do no react. It quickly gets over any such distress, but Taru still tries to avoid it by matching the timing her own greetings of non-fetchlings to those of her shadow.

[[File:taru_flattering_portrait.jpg|thumb|355px|alt=A portrait of Taru, mostly as in her original description, but perhaps a bit intentionally flattering. | A very flattering portrait of Taru. Painted by a travelling artist she and her sister saved before arriving in Onadbyr. (By [https://www.reddit.com/user/Roujin_/ Roujin_])]]

=== Changes while living in Onadbyr ===
Some months into living in Onadbyr, Taru replaced her old half-mask with a full face mask capable of changing shapes and enhancing her performances.
She also upgraded from her quilted armour to first a custom hide armour, and now full plate, both featuring the emblems of [[Cayden Cailean]] on the front and of [[Desna]] on the sleeves.
Recently she expanded her arsenal, removing the longsword and sling, but instead adding a bastard sword, a kusarigama, a tekko-kagi, and a composite shortbow, with runes applied to the first two. (For a short time she had a greatsword instead of the bastard sword, but it didn't take her long to switch that out.)

Taru's shadow is slowly gaining a sort of ethereal substance. As of summer 225, it is able to touch objects enough to interact with them.

== Background ==
Taru, together with her fraternal twin sister [[Taso Autio|Taso]], was born in a small village on the material plane mostly populated by fetchlings that had to flee the shadow plane during [[The Collapse]].

Some lingering fragment of chaos came into contact with her mother during her pregnancy, apparently only affecting Taru and leaving her sister a normal fetchling.
While Taru's unusual appearance certainly drew glances and whispers, she was generally accepted in her village, staying there until she finished an apprenticeship as a bard and decided to experience adventuring herself rather than just telling stories about it. (An anecdote she loves to tell is that she earned herself the nickname of "Butcher of Legends" at that time—occasionally she will also reveal that it was for her absolutely atrocious first attempt at retelling legends before an audience.)

Her sister, wishing to learn more about crafting techniques around the world, decided to tag along. The two of them have a rather strange relationship, getting along famously in letters and occasional meetings, but mostly bickering whenever they spend more than a day or so together. Somehow they made travelling together work anyway.

They split up soon before Taru arrived in [[Onadbyr]], Taso staying a while in a workshop they came across to learn of their methods. The two still regularly exchanged letters and a few month later Taso joined her sister in the city.

== Life in Onadbyr ==
Taru greatly enjoys living in Onadbyr and being an Associate. She joins missions as often as she can, as long as she believes she will be more help than hindrance.

She spends most evenings in taverns telling tales of heroes and adventures, both for fun and as a secondary source of income.

=== Melfyra ===
In mid-225 [[Melfyra]], at the time freshly a vampire, faced persecution due to being undead. Refusing to let people be judged for what they are, Taru started to protect her and they soon moved in together to make this more convenient.

Melfyra quickly developed a crush on Taru, her almost literal knight in shining armour, but originally Taru only viewed her as a housemate she intends to protect. (The idea of any physical relation with an undead body also made her a bit queasy, no matter how much she appreciated the person inhabiting it.) 
This slowly changed over time, and in Summer 227 Taru translated and adapted an old song of her people to express her feelings for Melfyra. While the shock of her crush asking her out so boldly at first made Melfyra faint, they officially got together after.

Since then Taru sometimes sings the translated song that she calls "The Wild Maiden's Spell" in the taverns she performs in.
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable"
! colspan="1" | The Wild Maiden's Spell

(The song is a translation/adaption of the German song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUlIjhUzZN0 Vom Zauber des Wildfräuleins] by [https://www.versengold.com/songtext/vom-zauber-des-wildfraeuleins Versengold] and is sung to the same melody.)

Once long ago as I wandered alone, 
in the deepest of woods I got lost. 
And as with hope gone, my fate I thought known, 
it all changed as a clearing I crossed.

There light and wind on the waving grass played 
and sat amidst blossoms and fern, 
a maiden against whom a spring day would fade. 
Entranced by the world in return.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

With eyes as lovely as belladonna berries, 
her bright smile a treasure of bliss. 
Her skin cold as snow smelled of lilac and cherries, 
and her hair the colour of night's kiss

Her elegant form clad with naught but a dress, 
finely woven from petals and leaves. 
And she pulled me down into her sweet caress, 
to kiss away all my tears and past griefs.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

Readily I followed the pull of her arms, 
sunk down into the wild maidens lap. 
My worries and sense lost to her soothing charms, 
as on the bed made from moss we'd nap.

I dreamt of summers and winters that fled, 
and reality faded away. 
And I dreamt without me the years moved ahead, 
as I lived with her love every day.

And when I opened my eyes and the dream dropped its veil, 
I was grey-haired, my death in the air. 
And the maiden that was recounting my tale, 
smiled gently and caressed my hair.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away 
All things flow, all things float, so be ready this day. 
Many a moment flies quick as a life could play, 
in the wild maiden's spell and the time in her sway.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to cry, cry! 
If you wish to scream, scream! 
If you wish to dance, dance one last time with me!

And I breathed: Why would I cry or scream? 
If I was back in the prime of my youth, 
I'd gladly for just this one moment anew, 
give my life all over again.

=== Pet ===
In autumn 225, Taru [[Samara Slitherslimes Shifting Slime Shop | received a frost ora]] as reward for… training said frost ora. She is still unsure what Samara got out of that deal.

The frost ora is named Aeve, after a legendary slime whose story Taru has heard. They are trained to orate tales backwards for an audience and to collect rewards after.

== Religion ==
While Taru is not deeply religious, she follows the teachings of both [[Cayden Cailean]] and [[Desna]]. One could argue that she respects the latter more as a divinity, but she looks up to Cayden as a person and even became one of his champions.

== Etymology ==
Taru's names are based on Finnish words. Her first name, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tarina#Finnish Tarina], means "Story" or "Tale", aggrandised in her nickname [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taru#Finnish Taru], which means "Epic" or "Legend", symbolising her own aspirations.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autio#Finnish Autio], her last name, translates to "Desolate" or "Uninhabited", referencing large parts of the Shadow Plane. It is a very common last name in her culture.

Aeve is named after a Magic: The Gathering card, the legendary slime [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=522224 Aeve, Progenitor Ooze].

Petal is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]]. One of the many that will grow.

== Description ==
Petal is a very small sprite with four insectoid wings but an otherwise humanoid appearance. She has light skin that is unexpectedly rough to the touch, pointed ears, and no discernable pupil or iris in her eyes. Her hair is fairly short and intermixed with leaves. On most occasions she is wearing an armour made of leaves and vines that appears to partially grow out of her.

Petals and dew drops often whirl through the air in a wide area around her.

(She does not yet have the earrings and other accessories pictured in her portrait.)

Taso Autio is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]], though they spend most of the time in their workshop, [[The Dollhouse]].

== Description ==
Like their parents, but unlike her chaos-touched fraternal twin sister, Taso is a deep fetchling. Besides being comparatively short, their appearance is fairly typical for their ancestry, with white hair, glowing white eyes, and grey skin perhaps slightly darker than her sister's.

Most days they can be seen wearing nice, but not overly fancy, dresses, often covered by a leather apron splattered with all kinds of paints, glues, and other crafting materials. Outside of combat they tends to wear a single pair of dangling, silver earrings, and often a matching necklace. They wear their hair in a long braid.

For combat they do away with the jewellery and instead don quilted armour and fight with a rapier. Having witnessed [[Batective]]'s abilities with guns, they are currently considering that path as well.

Taso's shadow is very shy among most people, usually hiding either beneath Taso's dress, or in the shadows of nearby objects, adapting to their shape. It avoids touching the shadows of living creatures unless it is very familiar with them, even more so if those shadows are bound to the movements of those who cast them. However, these attempts are often unsuccessful since its own pitch-black appearance usually unnaturally darkens the shadows it hides in.

== Background ==
Taso, together with her fraternal twin sister [[Tarina "Taru" Autio|Taru]], was born in a small village on the material plane mostly populated by fetchlings that had to flee the shadow plane during [[The Collapse]].

Some lingering fragment of chaos came into contact with their mother during her pregnancy, apparently only affecting Taru and leaving Taso a normal fetchling. While Taso always supported her sister, they were also secretly glad for Taru's colourful presence attracting attention away from them and sparing them from having to interact with others more than strictly necessary. 
There was, however, one exception to Taso's avoidance of people: They always enjoyed the company of children, finding them much easier to interact with, or as they might phrase it, their reactions more straightforward to predict. This increased even further when Taso discovered their love for handicraft and how even simple creation could elicit unadulterated joy in children. As a result they often took care of the village's children when their parents were busy, crafting toys for them or even teaching them how to do so themselves.

When Taru decided to go on an adventure, Taso decided to join her to further their knowledge of the world and of crafting techniques. The two of them have a rather strange relationship, getting along famously in letters and occasional meetings, but mostly bickering whenever they spend more than a day or so together. Somehow they made travelling together work anyway.

Soon before arriving in [[Onadbyr]] they split up, Taso staying in a village with a prominent artisan willing to teach them more about the making of dolls while Taru travelled on. The two still regularly exchanged letters and a few months later, having been told about the city extensively, Taso moved to Onadbyr as well.

== Familiar==
Besides her crafting endeavours, Taso also experimented with primal magic and investigated forces granting such powers to those born without any talent for them. Their efforts attracted the attention of a young [https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1025 scalliwing], who soon decided to not only tutor Taso in magic, but also, and perhaps primarily, assist them in social situations.
Since she didn't have a name before and her colourful appearance and virtuous, if a bit impulsive, personality reminded Taso of her sister, she named her new familiar Tarunen.

[[File:tarunen_lizardsoup.png|thumb|355px|alt=A colourful, winged snake. It is red with a yellow belly, accented by blue and green feathers on the neck and back. The wings consist of blue and green feathers as well. | Tarunen, Taso's familiar.]]

== Life in Onadbyr ==
Taso spends most of the time in their workshop they have dubbed "The Dollhouse", where they further their techniques in toymaking and occasional other crafts. To finance this, Taso also became an associate and goes on occasional missions, but unlike her sister, she mostly regards them as work.

After a very productive season in which they built up a substantial assortment of dolls, Taso decided to open their workshop to the public, hoping to sell, or perhaps sometimes even just give away, some of their creations.

== Pronouns ==
Taso uses both They/Them and She/Her. If pressed they would express a mild preference towards the former, but in the context of their relation to Taru, she prefers being called her sister.

== Etymology ==
Taso's names are based on Finnish words. Their first name, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taso#Finnish Taso], means "Level", both in the sense of a flat surface and a set standard, symbolising their less brash presence compared to her sister, and their methodical, standardised approach to many things, especially crafting.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autio#Finnish Autio], their last name, translates to "Desolate" or "Uninhabited", referencing large parts of the Shadow Plane. It is a very common last name in their culture.

Taru[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Finnish_diminutive_suffixes nen] is a diminutive form of Taru, named so because she reminded Taso of her sister.

Associates grudgingly assist a dwarf by killing a chimera and chasing away a medusa. They aren't done yet.
== Log ==
First off, this isn't over yet. I fully expect we will need to return since Irena Igenous got away and certainly hasn't given up on her plans yet.

But to start at the beginning: We, [[Aster]], [[Kirrily Icesickle|Kirrily]], [[Sahona Bright-Eyed|Sahona]] and I, were hired to deal with kobolds who caused miners to disappear. As it (very) soon turned out, the kobolds were not to blame, but rather had been incredibly tolerant of the dwarves that invaded their home.

What rather caused the disappearances and also caused the kobolds fear was something hidden deeper in the mine that turned the miners to stone. Suspecting a basilisks we moved in following the kobolds' directions and were soon attacked by three Xorns, creatures that, according to Sahona, are not capable of turning flesh to stone. They were quickly dealt with and we pressed on.

Deeper in we found the tracks of what we assumed to be a chimera, a suspicion soon confirmed by Sahona who scouted ahead. It was a rather unusual beast, sporting the heads (and abilities) of a [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/9/92/Bigbirdnewversion.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/280?cb=20120128201030 large yellow roc], a cave worm, and a witchwarg. Despite its fearsome appearance, it did not pose too much of a danger. Even while flying to the top of the surprisingly high cave, it could not escape Kirrily's flight and the gigantic form that Sahona took.

However, during our fight Irena Igenous, a medusa several of us have met before in a [[Snakes in the Grass|previous mission]], showed herself and attempted to turn us to stone. While she did not succeed, we, in return, could not do anything against her escaping underground. We do not know what she was after, but it cannot have been anything good. Another mission will be needed to deal with the threat she poses.

However, beyond this, the expedition revealed another glaring problem: The commissions posted to associates are not properly vetted. It was our luck that Myrmyra Mightreach acted incredibly suspicious and the kobolds were willing to talk rather than their experiences driving them to defensive behaviour, otherwise we may have taken the mission as original posted and dealt with the supposed threat rather than the real one. It is clear now that Myrmyra and his miners are the invaders.

While there are no laws so far outside Onadbyr, we cannot let Associates be used to enact, essentially, banditry. To invade the homes of a peaceful tribe in the name of a money-hungry client. At the very least Myrmyra Mightreach must be blacklisted by the council, but beyond that rules must be put into place to prevent something like this from happening again. In addition I advice caution to all associates, to ensure their employers are trustworthy and the mission is, indeed, as it was stated.

Signed, 
[[Tarina "Taru" Autio|Tarina Autio]], Associate of [[the Round Table]].

Tarina Autio, or Taru as she prefers, is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]], wishing to tell the tales of both heroics she witnesses and those she performs herself.

== Description ==
=== Original ===
Taru is a [[Established Lore|fetchling]] ganzi, the latter granting her a frame taller and more muscular than what is typical for fetchlings. This heritage is further expressed in a line of blue scales over her left eye, mirroring a scar over her right eye she earned in her childhood, as well as a pair of bright orange, fairly small, and not fully material wings, resembling those of a [https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1262 peri]. Her skin is of a middling grey tone, and her hair a bluish grey. Like most fetchlings, she has glowing eyes.

Her usual adventuring outfit consists of a quilted armour, any sturdy pairs of pants and boots she could get hold of, a longsword, a whip, a sling, a dagger, and a lute. However, the last she only carries for merrymaking, relying on speeches and spells to support her allies in combat. She also wears several piercings in both ears, preferring small rings or studs that do not pose too great a hazard in melee fights.

Due to usually travelling light, she tends to wear the same things outside of adventuring, only storing part of her weaponry somewhere should she have the option. This may change now that she has a semi-permanent dwelling. She dislikes people staring at her scar and scales, so when not among adventurers she also often dons a half-mask hiding these features.

[[File:taru_mask.png|thumb|355px|alt=A blue and gold upper half face mask. It is partially decorated with black-on-white musical notes. | The mask Taru used to wear among people she is not familiar with, especially those who are not adventurers.]]

Taru's shadow, while mostly sticking to the same shape as Taru, never stays still, always exploring anything around itself, and completely lacking any concept of personal space. It is very outgoing and usually tries to greet the shadows of other living beings, often leading to disappointment when they do no react. It quickly gets over any such distress, but Taru still tries to avoid it by matching the timing her own greetings of non-fetchlings to those of her shadow.

[[File:taru_flattering_portrait.jpg|thumb|355px|alt=A portrait of Taru, mostly as in her original description, but perhaps a bit intentionally flattering. | A very flattering portrait of Taru. Painted by a travelling artist she and her sister saved before arriving in Onadbyr. (By [https://www.reddit.com/user/Roujin_/ Roujin_])]]

=== Changes while living in Onadbyr ===
Some months into living in Onadbyr, Taru replaced her old half-mask with a full face mask capable of changing shapes and enhancing her performances.
She also upgraded from her quilted armour to first a custom hide armour, and now full plate, both featuring the emblems of [[Cayden Cailean]] on the front and of [[Desna]] on the sleeves.
Recently she expanded her arsenal, removing the longsword and sling, but instead adding a bastard sword, a kusarigama, a tekko-kagi, and a composite shortbow, with runes applied to the first two. (For a short time she had a greatsword instead of the bastard sword, but it didn't take her long to switch that out.)

Taru's shadow is slowly gaining a sort of ethereal substance. As of summer 225, it is able to touch objects enough to interact with them.

== Background ==
Taru, together with her fraternal twin sister [[Taso Autio|Taso]], was born in a small village on the material plane mostly populated by fetchlings that had to flee the shadow plane during [[The Collapse]].

Some lingering fragment of chaos came into contact with her mother during her pregnancy, apparently only affecting Taru and leaving her sister a normal fetchling.
While Taru's unusual appearance certainly drew glances and whispers, she was generally accepted in her village, staying there until she finished an apprenticeship as a bard and decided to experience adventuring herself rather than just telling stories about it. (An anecdote she loves to tell is that she earned herself the nickname of "Butcher of Legends" at that time—occasionally she will also reveal that it was for her absolutely atrocious first attempt at retelling legends before an audience.)

Her sister, wishing to learn more about crafting techniques around the world, decided to tag along. The two of them have a rather strange relationship, getting along famously in letters and occasional meetings, but mostly bickering whenever they spend more than a day or so together. Somehow they made travelling together work anyway.

They split up soon before Taru arrived in [[Onadbyr]], Taso staying a while in a workshop they came across to learn of their methods. The two still regularly exchanged letters and a few month later Taso joined her sister in the city.

== Life in Onadbyr ==
Taru greatly enjoys living in Onadbyr and being an Associate. She joins missions as often as she can, as long as she believes she will be more help than hindrance.

She spends most evenings in taverns telling tales of heroes and adventures, both for fun and as a secondary source of income.

=== Melfyra ===
In mid-225 [[Melfyra]], at the time freshly a vampire, faced persecution due to being undead. Refusing to let people be judged for what they are, Taru started to protect her and they soon moved in together to make this more convenient.

Melfyra quickly developed a crush on Taru, her almost literal knight in shining armour, but originally Taru only viewed her as a housemate she intends to protect. (The idea of any physical relation with an undead body also made her a bit queasy, no matter how much she appreciated the person inhabiting it.) 
This slowly changed over time, and in Summer 227 Taru translated and adapted an old song of her people to express her feelings for Melfyra. While the shock of her crush asking her out so boldly at first made Melfyra faint, they officially got together after.

Since then Taru sometimes sings the translated song that she calls "The Wild Maiden's Spell" in the taverns she performs in.

(The song is a translation/adaption of the German song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUlIjhUzZN0 Vom Zauber des Wildfräuleins] by [https://www.versengold.com/songtext/vom-zauber-des-wildfraeuleins Versengold] and is sung to the same melody.)

Once long ago as I wandered alone, 
in the deepest of woods I got lost. 
And as with hope gone, my fate I thought known, 
it all changed as a clearing I crossed.

There light and wind on the waving grass played 
and sat amidst blossoms and fern, 
a maiden against whom a spring day would fade. 
Entranced by the world in return.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

With eyes as lovely as belladonna berries, 
her bright smile a treasure of bliss. 
Her skin cold as snow smelled of lilac and cherries, 
and her hair the colour of night's kiss

Her elegant form clad with naught but a dress, 
finely woven from petals and leaves. 
And she pulled me down into her sweet caress, 
to kiss away all my tears and past griefs.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

Readily I followed the pull of her arms, 
sunk down into the wild maidens lap. 
My worries and sense lost to her soothing charms, 
as on the bed made from moss we'd nap.

I dreamt of summers and winters that fled, 
and reality faded away. 
And I dreamt without me the years moved ahead, 
as I lived with her love every day.

And when I opened my eyes and the dream dropped its veil, 
I was grey-haired, my death in the air. 
And the maiden that was recounting my tale, 
smiled gently and caressed my hair.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away 
All things flow, all things float, so be ready this day. 
Many a moment flies quick as a life could play, 
in the wild maiden's spell and the time in her sway.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to cry, cry! 
If you wish to scream, scream! 
If you wish to dance, dance one last time with me!

And I breathed: Why would I cry or scream? 
If I was back in the prime of my youth, 
I'd gladly for just this one moment anew, 
give my life all over again.

=== Pet ===
In autumn 225, Taru [[Samara Slitherslimes Shifting Slime Shop | received a frost ora]] as reward for… training said frost ora. She is still unsure what Samara got out of that deal.

The frost ora is named Aeve, after a legendary slime whose story Taru has heard. They are trained to orate tales backwards for an audience and to collect rewards after.

== Religion ==
While Taru is not deeply religious, she follows the teachings of both [[Cayden Cailean]] and [[Desna]]. One could argue that she respects the latter more as a divinity, but she looks up to Cayden as a person and even became one of his champions.

== Etymology ==
Taru's names are based on Finnish words. Her first name, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tarina#Finnish Tarina], means "Story" or "Tale", aggrandised in her nickname [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taru#Finnish Taru], which means "Epic" or "Legend", symbolising her own aspirations.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autio#Finnish Autio], her last name, translates to "Desolate" or "Uninhabited", referencing large parts of the Shadow Plane. It is a very common last name in her culture.

Aeve is named after a Magic: The Gathering card, the legendary slime [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=522224 Aeve, Progenitor Ooze].

==Classes==
===Champion===

Associates rescue two merchants from a simple but dangerous puzzle.
== Log ==
Excerpts of Memory Database of [[the Round Table|Round Table]] [[Associates|Associate]] 'Nho'. Provided as log for the expedition 'Smell of the Game'. 
Note: Memory format determined to be incompatible with most present beings. Previously provided text logs of write accesses also claimed to be 'Incomprehensible'. Testing beta version of 'informal database input/output translator' tool.
----
Documenting newly encountered associates: 'Dr. Theodore Rex', 'Joyuese', 'Pashiro, The Wind Song'.
Documenting current party: 'Dr. Theodore Rex', 'Joyuese', 'Pashiro, The Wind Song', 'Jade'.

Acquired background information: Deadly puzzle toys have appeared repeatedly, force those solving them into deadly games.

Received mission objective: Rescue two travellers trapped in puzzle for 52 hours.

Observation: Council employs extensive security even for puzzles determined to be weak.

Puzzle solved by party member Dr. Theodore Rex.
Party moved to different space consisting of quadratic grid with fields, some of which emanate varying energy levels.
Party split:
1. Dr. Theodore Rex, Joyuese, Nho in north-east. Large area with minimal energy signature surrounded by areas with small signatures.
2. Pashiro, The Wind Song in north-west. Small area with minimal energy signatures surrounded by varying signatures.
3. Jade in south-west. Singular field with middling to high energy signature.
Observation: Possibly a pocket dimension.
Observation: Space monitored and provided with irregular commentary.

Observation: Energy signatures correspond to number of dangerous surrounding spaces.
Observation: Stepping on fields not yet emanating energy causes them to start emanating.
Conclusion: Energy signatures of neighbouring areas often allow determination of exact position of dangerous spaces.

Faint screaming can be heard from two fields.
Updated objectives:
1. Reach fields likely containing missing travellers.
2. Provide safe escape path to travellers.

'Game' complicated by addition of enemy spider construct. Later determined to be capable of movement without activating plates, distribution of bombs, and obscuring of revealed energy signatures.

Party hampered by increased gravitational pressure. Effect successfully countered on Nho by inbuilt gravitational generators.

Documenting: Several party members shown to be inpatient and foolhardy.
Note: Foolhardy actions not discouraged as long as sustainable, as they reveal the values of many fields.

First traveller freed by Dr. Theodore Rex. No return path provided, as path taken leads through a dangerous field.

Documenting: Joyuese continues to take impatient risks when lacking the constitution to resist further dangerous fields.
Observation: Unconscious beings slowly absorbed by game area. Sufficient time for rescue manoeuvres provided.

Second enemy spider construct released as observer considers progress 'too easy'.

Enemy spider construct manoeuvres easily countered.
Second traveller freed by Nho. Return path provided but not taken, as traveller fears passing by the enemy spider construct.

Third enemy spider construct released, likely for the same reason.

Second enemy spider construct eliminated by Joyuese.

Dr. Theodore Rex transforms into T-Rex.
First enemy spider construct eliminated by Dr. Theodore Rex by tripping it on a dangerous field.

Travellers escorted to area border by party members.

Observer expresses concerns about lacking difficulty of the game.
Observer expresses happiness about people solving their puzzles again.

After rescue, travellers incapable of opening boxes of any kind. Likely curse.

Tarina Autio, or Taru as she prefers, is an [[Associates|Associate]] of [[the Round Table]], wishing to tell the tales of both heroics she witnesses and those she performs herself.

== Description ==
=== Original ===
Taru is a [[Established Lore|fetchling]] ganzi, the latter granting her a frame taller and more muscular than what is typical for fetchlings. This heritage is further expressed in a line of blue scales over her left eye, mirroring a scar over her right eye she earned in her childhood, as well as a pair of bright orange, fairly small, and not fully material wings, resembling those of a [https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1262 peri]. Her skin is of a middling grey tone, and her hair a bluish grey. Like most fetchlings, she has glowing eyes.

Her usual adventuring outfit consists of a quilted armour, any sturdy pairs of pants and boots she could get hold of, a longsword, a whip, a sling, a dagger, and a lute. However, the last she only carries for merrymaking, relying on speeches and spells to support her allies in combat. She also wears several piercings in both ears, preferring small rings or studs that do not pose too great a hazard in melee fights.

Due to usually travelling light, she tends to wear the same things outside of adventuring, only storing part of her weaponry somewhere should she have the option. This may change now that she has a semi-permanent dwelling. She dislikes people staring at her scar and scales, so when not among adventurers she also often dons a half-mask hiding these features.

[[File:taru_mask.png|thumb|355px|alt=A blue and gold upper half face mask. It is partially decorated with black-on-white musical notes. | The mask Taru used to wear among people she is not familiar with, especially those who are not adventurers.]]

Taru's shadow, while mostly sticking to the same shape as Taru, never stays still, always exploring anything around itself, and completely lacking any concept of personal space. It is very outgoing and usually tries to greet the shadows of other living beings, often leading to disappointment when they do no react. It quickly gets over any such distress, but Taru still tries to avoid it by matching the timing her own greetings of non-fetchlings to those of her shadow.

[[File:taru_flattering_portrait.jpg|thumb|355px|alt=A portrait of Taru, mostly as in her original description, but perhaps a bit intentionally flattering. | A very flattering portrait of Taru. Painted by a travelling artist she and her sister saved before arriving in Onadbyr. (By [https://www.reddit.com/user/Roujin_/ Roujin_])]]

=== Changes while living in Onadbyr ===
Some months into living in Onadbyr, Taru replaced her old half-mask with a full face mask capable of changing shapes and enhancing her performances.
She also upgraded from her quilted armour to first a custom hide armour, and now full plate, both featuring the emblems of [[Cayden Cailean]] on the front and of [[Desna]] on the sleeves.
Recently she expanded her arsenal, removing the longsword and sling, but instead adding a bastard sword, a kusarigama, a tekko-kagi, and a composite shortbow, with runes applied to the first two. (For a short time she had a greatsword instead of the bastard sword, but it didn't take her long to switch that out.)

Taru's shadow is slowly gaining a sort of ethereal substance. As of summer 225, it is able to touch objects enough to interact with them.

== Background ==
Taru, together with her fraternal twin sister [[Taso Autio|Taso]], was born in a small village on the material plane mostly populated by fetchlings that had to flee the shadow plane during [[The Collapse]].

Some lingering fragment of chaos came into contact with her mother during her pregnancy, apparently only affecting Taru and leaving her sister a normal fetchling.
While Taru's unusual appearance certainly drew glances and whispers, she was generally accepted in her village, staying there until she finished an apprenticeship as a bard and decided to experience adventuring herself rather than just telling stories about it. (An anecdote she loves to tell is that she earned herself the nickname of "Butcher of Legends" at that time—occasionally she will also reveal that it was for her absolutely atrocious first attempt at retelling legends before an audience.)

Her sister, wishing to learn more about crafting techniques around the world, decided to tag along. The two of them have a rather strange relationship, getting along famously in letters and occasional meetings, but mostly bickering whenever they spend more than a day or so together. Somehow they made travelling together work anyway.

They split up soon before Taru arrived in [[Onadbyr]], Taso staying a while in a workshop they came across to learn of their methods. The two still regularly exchanged letters and a few month later Taso joined her sister in the city.

== Life in Onadbyr ==
Taru greatly enjoys living in Onadbyr and being an Associate. She joins missions as often as she can, as long as she believes she will be more help than hindrance.

She spends most evenings in taverns telling tales of heroes and adventures, both for fun and as a secondary source of income.

=== Melfyra ===
In mid-225 [[Melfyra]], at the time freshly a vampire, faced persecution due to being undead. Refusing to let people be judged for what they are, Taru started to protect her and they soon moved in together to make this more convenient.

Melfyra quickly developed a crush on Taru, her almost literal knight in shining armour, but originally Taru only viewed her as a housemate she intends to protect. (The idea of any physical relation with an undead body also made her a bit queasy, no matter how much she appreciated the person inhabiting it.) 
This slowly changed over time, and in Summer 227 Taru translated and adapted an old song of her people to express her feelings for Melfyra. While the shock of her crush asking her out so boldly at first made Melfyra faint, they officially got together after.

Since then Taru sometimes sings the translated song that she calls "The Wild Maiden's Spell" in the taverns she performs in.

(The song is a translation/adaption of the German song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUlIjhUzZN0 Vom Zauber des Wildfräuleins] by [https://www.versengold.com/songtext/vom-zauber-des-wildfraeuleins Versengold] and is sung to the same melody.)
|-
|
Once long ago as I wandered alone, 
in the deepest of woods I got lost. 
And as with hope gone, my fate I thought known, 
it all changed as a clearing I crossed.

There light and wind on the waving grass played 
and sat amidst blossoms and fern, 
a maiden against whom a spring day would fade. 
Entranced by the world in return.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

With eyes as lovely as belladonna berries, 
her bright smile a treasure of bliss. 
Her skin cold as snow smelled of lilac and cherries, 
and her hair the colour of night's kiss

Her elegant form clad with naught but a dress, 
finely woven from petals and leaves. 
And she pulled me down into her sweet caress, 
to kiss away all my tears and past griefs.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away. 
All things flow, all things float, all things have their time. 
Never forget we're but a moment's byplay, 
yet a moment's enough for a life most sublime.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to leave, leave! 
If you wish to stay, stay! 
If you wish to dance, dance with me!

Readily I followed the pull of her arms, 
sunk down into the wild maidens lap. 
My worries and sense lost to her soothing charms, 
as on the bed made from moss we'd nap.

I dreamt of summers and winters that fled, 
and reality faded away. 
And I dreamt without me the years moved ahead, 
as I lived with her love every day.

And when I opened my eyes and the dream dropped its veil, 
I was grey-haired, my death in the air. 
And the maiden that was recounting my tale, 
smiled gently and caressed my hair.

And she spoke, hear the wind blow your sorrows away 
All things flow, all things float, so be ready this day. 
Many a moment flies quick as a life could play, 
in the wild maiden's spell and the time in her sway.

And if you're willing, so I will tell you: 
If you wish to cry, cry! 
If you wish to scream, scream! 
If you wish to dance, dance one last time with me!

And I breathed: Why would I cry or scream? 
If I was back in the prime of my youth, 
I'd gladly for just this one moment anew, 
give my life all over again.

=== Pet ===
In autumn 225, Taru [[Samara Slitherslimes Shifting Slime Shop | received a frost ora]] as reward for… training said frost ora. She is still unsure what Samara got out of that deal.

The frost ora is named Aeve, after a legendary slime whose story Taru has heard. They are trained to orate tales backwards for an audience and to collect rewards after.

== Religion ==
While Taru is not deeply religious, she follows the teachings of both [[Cayden Cailean]] and [[Desna]]. One could argue that she respects the latter more as a divinity, but she looks up to Cayden as a person and even became one of his champions.

== Etymology ==
Taru's names are based on Finnish words. Her first name, [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tarina#Finnish Tarina], means "Story" or "Tale", aggrandised in her nickname [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taru#Finnish Taru], which means "Epic" or "Legend", symbolising her own aspirations.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/autio#Finnish Autio], her last name, translates to "Desolate" or "Uninhabited", referencing large parts of the Shadow Plane. It is a very common last name in her culture.

Aeve is named after a Magic: The Gathering card, the legendary slime [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=522224 Aeve, Progenitor Ooze].

Rare Options Guide

Unseelie: /* Other or No Lineage */

By default Kelek does not allow rare options, but through in-game events and brave acts of heroics, they can be unlocked for the entire server.

==Ancestry==
Rare ancestries are typically unlocked through month long events that require the [[associates]] to complete multiple missions.

===Automaton===
Automatons were the first unlocked rare ancestry that were unlocked on the 24th of April, 2023, by the team of the Journey to Arrepo missions. In Kelek, Automatons are highly advanced robots surviving from before the most recent cataclysm, or were newly manufactured and transported to [[Onadbyr]] through a one way teleportation portal. All automatons in Kelek were created by Arrepo Manufacturing, a now defunct companion that is fully automated by automatons, and is situated on the edge of the Chron volcano. The physical location of the manufacturing plant is no longer accessible. Your automaton could have recently awoken, drawn to Onadbyr by the [[LOC|Lord of Carnage]] coming online, or you could have been restored by a kind and loving tinkerer, or a madman who wanted you to kill. Either way, your aesthetics are chrome, high technology, and inhuman features. You are powered by a core at your center, which is the equivalent of your soul giving you free will. Your core is itself powered by a shard of divinity, a tiny portion of a god's physical being. You can choose to be powered by a specific god's power, or just divine energy in general. You might not know the exact origin of your shard of divinity. You are not beholden to the god, or their tenets, that powers your core.

''Available as of the 25th of August, 2023.''

A disturbance near [[Velborough O's|Velborough]] opened a temporary gateway from the [https://2e.aonprd.com/Planes.aspx?ID=10 First World] from which a host of fey including sprites and linnorms emerged before collapsing again, trapping those on the other side in the world of Kelek. The opening of the gateway also allowed the voices of the [https://2e.aonprd.com/DeityCategories.aspx?ID=7 Eldest] through; heard for the first time on the material plane in generations. The calls echoed around Kelek heard by all fey and fey descendants shouting orders, begging requests, whispering secrets or simply singing their song until the portal closed and their voices were silenced again. Spurred to action by the calls of the Eldest, a number of sprites around Kelek have set out to interact with the mortal world more closely.

When creating a sprite you should detail out the following:
* Were you already on the material plane or did you emerge through the portal near Onadbyr? If you were already here, what were you doing? If not, why did you decide to travel to the material plane?
* What call drove you to act and for what purpose? These tasks are typically esoteric and difficult to achieve, such as collecting 10,000 colors of flowers or reciting specific poems in specific places in the world.
* What is your relationship to the Eldest whose call you answered?

===Beastkin===
''Unlocked on the 19th of January, 2024''

After [[Conquering the Wilds| the fall of The Father of Werecreatures]], leadership of the werecreature camp was taken over by his daughter, Maera. Under her leadership the camp is no longer isolationist, though they are still somewhat nomadic. This has allowed Beastkin like her to venture out into the world and live their own lives again, free of the forces that always drew them back to the camp; Back to The Father's immense presence. Though the call is gone, its presence still lingers, always reminding you where your true home is.

As a beastkin, you need to consider these questions:

* What is your relation to the werecreature camp? Were you born there? Did the call draw you there, or have you just arrived?

* How did you come to become a beastkin? Were you born one within the camp, or maybe even outside it? Did a werecreature's bite affect you differently than others?

* What kind of beastkin are you? The Father could make someone a werecreature of anything animal-like, but this does not change your size beyond the norm.

* What drove you to seek out a creepy cave with the hopes of changing what you are? Gender dysphoria? A true desire to overcome a limitation of your body? Or perhaps something else entirely?

* The transformation the cave grants is good, outright certain to make you feel better about yourself as it reads your desires as it changes you, but it is not perfect. What is some issue with your new body you are not quite happy about (even though it was still absolutely worth it)?

* While your new form seems to only be based on your own will, in truth it at least somewhat resembles an existing being somewhere in the world. Even though you may never meet them, consider who they are and how you would respond if you found them.

These remains of people who once existed return to a world that has forgotten them, replaced them, with memories of a life that never has been.

As a [https://2e.aonprd.com/Ancestries.aspx?ID=51 reflection] with any other lineage than the one above, or no lineage at all, you need to consider these questions:

* You once lived your life, until suddenly you weren't anymore. What event were you involved in at the time, and what event related to Gnome Ann replaced it?

* Similarly, who took your place? Remember that those beings created in the vicinity of Gnome Ann tend to be less serious or at least less threatening than the original that you are. How do you feel about them, do you hate them for replacing you?

* Are there any people around you were close to before your existence was erased? Has your replacement taken your spot with them? Do you wish to rebuild your relationships?

* If you take a lineage feat, also explain how it fits into your story.
