Weylin "the drake" Ryder


Blaeringr

Recommended Posts

Weylin has come to Carisport directly from Alucia, hoping to make a name for himself here so he can bring that notoriety back home with him, as well as satisfying his wanderlust that had built up over the years. A certain little hope in the back of his head tugs at him to maybe find out more about his magic beyond old bedtime stories and legends.

Short term goals right now include:
1. finding some consistent work so he doesn't have to worry about food and lodging
2. Get an in with a crew of folks to ensure his survival
3. Searching for any opportunities to show his skills
4. Getting a feel for the area, maybe some updated maps to get the lay of the land?

This port town has been a very exciting place for Weylin. It's not quite as big as Alucia's ports, but it's full of so many different kinds of people and things from foreign never before seen places.

Following a pointy eared man wearing exquisite flowing garb into a building, he found himself swept up in the atmosphere of this inn: people were speaking with optimism and excitement about everything, and then this child sized woman started playing a stringed instrument unfamiliar to Weylin (alucians really love their brass horns and percussions - who thought of that many different ways to make drums?!) got the place worked up even more!

Is that spellcasting woven into her music? Fun! It's not Weylin's fault for thinking the performance needed some visual magic too!

Weylin would have discovered himself beside the stage before he'd had a chance to notice his legs walking him over. He listened for a swell in the music, and then, bronze pendant glowing, weaved together magic that danced along his skin like the peal of lightning on a storm-swept sea, gathering and twisting raw power into...something, some kind of light spell, a splash and peal of shifting colors to match the tone and mood of celebration beside this wholey unfamiliar music.

The musician, a halfling as they are called, introduces herself, and Weylin learns she also has some kind of affinity ofr magic, albeit a different way of going about it.

They discuss some more things and learn they both looking for similar work, and that their magical expertise, and uncommon trait, might make them stand out for groups of explorers or adventurers.

Weylin is incredibly excited to have found someone else in a similar boat, even if her magic is employed differently. A lot of his prowess for the arcane was learned by feel and doing, so having another practitioner around could be incredibly helpful in learning to hone his own magic.

Weylin has been offered a place to stay while in Carisport. An Alucian merchant of modest means, Oli Sorous, has invited him to stay in his home on First Landing. It's a Well built house with a stone foundation and timber/stucco frame. It's modest in size, which is good compared to the average person in town. Crime is a little high in the neighborhood, but mostly petty theft.

OliSorous.JPG.cdd37c3465769c0ff5f10bb9d62754a7.JPGOli owns a small ship and is often gone for a month at a time. He has a son and daughter, both adults, that also live in his home, along with a maid.

Oli is a fan of the arenas in Alucia, and recognized Weylin despite his brief career there.

Weylin notes this, but, not wishing to follow any action that could lead to his forceful ejection from the manor, maintains a warm, but cordial demeanor around the blushing lass. Using this time to learn as much as he can about the surrounding wilds from Oli and anyone he interacts with.

4th of Renewal, year 20


spacer.pngAfter the performance is over, and the inn is quieting down, a short man with pointed ears and bright orange hair with yellow streaks growing up from his head sits down next to Weylin in the common room. Is this a halfling like Maybell?

"Hey there! Fine evening, don't you say?"

His long coat jingles like rusty copper wires as he sits down.

The half-orcish traveler turns to regard his seat neighbor. "Hello, yes, a fine evening indeed. Weylin Ryder, pleased to meet you...?" He paused to hear this newcomer's name, watching him with curiosity, he seemed personable and gregarious, both things to be wary of from a stranger on the road.

Sting-FeydRautha.jpg.391cdbe8f0e81eaaf583d5e8f935d46a.jpg"Weylin Ryder..." he tries the name in his mouth. "Sure, that works. Oh, you're asking my name? Sure, it's" and e seems a little confused at this point, "it's Wirrin Withersbie."

He thrusts a hand into his jacket very suddenly and practically wrenches out an oversized brass pocketwatch(?) with a dozen gauges on it, then shoves it back in. He feels around a bit more, then pulls out a handful of coppers. He stares at the coins in thought, then turns back to Weylin:

"Recommend anything in particular on the menu?"

He quirks an eyebrow at the strange man, curious as to what was going on with him. "A pleasure."  Weylin thinks on the question for a moment, before settling on, "I always recommend getting the special, as a general rule, whatever they are making new is typically the best."

 

Scene ideas and/or intentions


Weylin will engage in pleasant conversation with the owner and the rest of the patrons at the tavern.

At some point in the night, he'd buy a round of drinks for his crew in celebration of their first real fight as a team.

He'd also heavily enjoy the play, clapping and cheering, especially for Maybell's performance.

"You sir," he says, turning back to Weylin, "have a particular metallic smell about you. I wonder how you got that."


Wirrin enjoys the food, but he never takes both eyes off Weylin for too long.
