Journal Steps and Dialogue[]

  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "Welcome to Kelethin! Are you ready to learn the ways of the fae?"
    • Player Character: "The ways of the fae?"
      • Lady Katri Eloranta:"In the eyes of many, the fae are not considered a true society, though we've been Tunare's children through the Rings of Time. By introducing you to our culture, we hope that you will spread word of our history and nature further abroad."
      • Player Character: "That's a heavy responsibility."
      • Lady Katri Eloranta: "It is, though we aren't asking you to do so. We believe that by knowing something of who we are, you'll naturally be inclined to inform other Outsiders of our ways. Are you ready to begin learning about the fae?"
      • Player Character: "I am ready."
    • Player Character: "Yes! I can't wait!"
  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "Good! It's refreshing for us to help Outsiders understand a little bit more about us and our history."
  • Player Character: "I'm very curious about the fae."
  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "I'm glad you want to learn more about us and perhaps demonstrate that Outsiders can be beneficial."
  • Player Character: "Where do we get started?"
  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "The fae community is one in which cooperation is essential. For you to learn about us, you will need to undergo training similar to what we teach in the Fae Rite of Passage."
  • Player character: "What should I study first?"
  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "Although we are peaceful, we all learn the art of self-defense. Go to the library, just one platform over, where you will learn about our self-defense postures. And be careful near the edges of the platforms. A fall can be deadly."
  • Player Character: "I'll be careful."
  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "May Tunare guide your steps, [Player Character]."
  • Player Character: "Thank you. I'll return when I've completed this task."

My first task is understanding combat and self-defense. Lady Katri told me to go to the library to learn more about self-defense.

I was attacked! I should speak to the defense trainer, Bark Chiselchin.

  • Bark Chiselchin: "Your form needs improvement! Keep your back straight!"
  • Player Character: "Excuse me?"
  • Bark Chiselchin: "It's all in the posture. Always be ready, that's the path to self-defense! You have to be ready to sway like the wind, to flow like water and to bite like an angry fly. that's the art of self-defense."
  • Player Character: "Should I know anything more?"
  • Bark Chiselchin: "You should learn all your life, kid. Otherwise, life isn't worth living. That's the whole truth of self-defense. You want to last longer than your opponent. Self-defense isn't something that can be taught, but it can be learned. Got it?"
  • Player Character: "Got it."
  • Bark Chiselchin: "If you're ever jumped again, it's you're own fault. Keep your shoulders back, your ears clean and your head high. Now off with you! Back to Lady Katri, I've business to attend to."
  • Player Character: "Will do."

I've been in contact with the self-defense instructor, bark Chiselchin. I need to tell Lady Katri that I've successfully completed my self-defense training. Lady Katri Eloranta, the Fae Rite of Passage advisor, is on the platform near the Old Kelethin Acorn Lift.

  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "How goes your self-defense training?"
  • Player Character: "I've completed the training, my lady."
  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "You don't need to be so formal with me, [Player Character]. Though I am related to Queen Amree, the title of "Lady" is primarily the way that advisors such as myself are distinguished in Kelethin."
  • Player Character: "I didn't know that."
  • Lady Katri Eloranta: "That is why this little introduction to Fae culture was developed. There is so much about our history that is inherited through our spirit bud and yet, there are still gaps. the collective memories of our community are what maintain our community."

I've spoken with Lady Katri Eloranta. I spoke with Lady Katri.

My self-defense skills will help me as I venture beyond the safety of Kelethin into the larger world beyond.
