Session 7

Back at Happy Beholder

Lots of backstory talk

• Mina has been selected by the elders of her circle (Circle of the Stars) for an unknown reason. She was told that she was full of potential. It may have something to do with her abilities.
• Fluke has no memories from before MAC fixed him on The Heap. He is extremely unique among Warforged because he has free will and emotions.
• MAC was thrown away by her parents because she didn’t follow the family traditions. She spent most of her life on The Heap
• Arwik was forced to flee his homeworld to avoid being executed. He’s been on Bral for a few weeks. The Koalitio did nothing to help his people because they weren’t members of the Coalition.
