Questions
How do you know each other?
In another city, Migd and Linea by fortune or fate set about looting the same sorcerer's tower. They agreed to share the spoils. "Migd has a knack for being in the right place at the right time."
Kúlùl ingratiated himself with the pair, planning to steal the loot from the job, but changed his mind and threw in with them. "Luckily for his friends, Kúlùl can take a joke."
Danae hired the three adventurers to help her escape an arranged marriage. "Danae has expensive tastes. I'd like to develop those myself."
Why did you come to Uru? What do you seek, desire or wish to accomplish?
Uru's a trade nexus, and growing in wealth. The Regency is declining. Before having me chased out of the city gates, the magistrate told me he'll lift the price on my head if I can bring back some worthwhile intelligence to level the field. I have family in the Regency, it would be nice to see them again.
What is the most prominent or unusual feature of Uru that you know, love or hate?
The temple bells in the old district are cast from pure silver. If I could steal one and melt it down, I'd be a rich woman! I've heard they're protected by magic, though.
Where are you going? Immediately, eventually or as a goal for your life/career?
Back to the Regency. But before that, I'll get rich enough to bribe someone in the Royal Ministry to change the magistrate's mind for him.

A wizard who seeks entry to the Aetheric Order of the 777 Mysteries, and to prove to his sister that he is not the charlatan she claims. (Atlictoatl) | Armor 0 HP 6/6
