References in Session Reports
Sas was born on the continent of Oth'Mar – a content mostly inhabited by Tortles and is far to the south of the Carrune Isles.
SaS was in Kampos to meet with Abbot Grok’s friend Caireall Donoghuei and they told her that she needed to go to Neyer to find her as she was last known to be there.
There are 5 Siblings (Gortam, Jurtlur, Kok, Gur, Beppam), and she is the youngest.
She was raised by a single mother, Dalkur. Her father, Solec, was taken away when she was very young and she never fully found out why. Otherwise, it was a modest family Lifestyle as your mother raised the 6 tortles. It was a large house though which seems to have been part of the family for a long time. She had a few close friends and lived an ordinary childhood overall.
At some point, she did feel a bit compelled to forsake her past and so she became a hermit. She regretted the move, but it took a long time of self-reflection and thoughts of Grok’s words to bring her back to society. While she contemplated her place and how she could be better with her connection to nature she did have some very startling thoughts come to her about ancient society.
It was Abbot Grok who led her to become a druid.
When she was young, very young, she scared her mother very badly. It was shortly after her father had been taken away and so her mom was very worried about something happening to her children. It wasn’t Sas’ fault though – she just turned invisible for some reason. It lasted for about an hour, but during that time it is what also prompted her feeling to become a hermit. She felt that things would be fine, if not better, without her. It was a scary feeling and it still sometimes worries her.
The leader of my community, Abbot Grok is a part of The Golden Stag, an order of Druids who are about helping nature not be overrun by societies and other unnatural creations. She was advised to meet Caireall Donoghuei in the town of Neyer on the continent of Eushia to learn more on how to improve her “brown” thumb to a "green" thumb.
Dalkur: raised them all, she would often work with the Abbot.
Caireall: "Most definitely. It's been a while since I've been there, but I'm good friends with Abbot Grok."
Sas: "You know the Abbot?"
Caireall: "Yes, I know the Abbot. We've known each other a long time."
Sas W.T. Rayce speaks of Abbot Grok, rainbows & rain. And she gets in.
