Andi, my character did fight in the war.  She was part of Cyre's army, fighting against those bastard Karrnathians.  So, depending on whose side he was on, it's possible they came across one another at some point.''<br/><br/>As far as those questions...<br/><br/>1.  I don't know if she knows any of them.  It's definitely possible, given the fact that she travels extensively, is highly social when she gets to a new place and provides a 'useful' service.<br/><br/>2.  Don't know, yet, but I'm open to<em>any</em>possible connections, guys!<br/><br/>3.  The remnants of her family/tribe live on the Talenta Plains, and she's bound to have made a few friends...and more enemies, over the course of her lifetime.  You can't be a spoopy juju woman without riling some folk.<br/><br/>4.  She's a nomad, so she's probably there planning to read some fortunes, sell some horse piss mixed with chicken blood and make some gold.<br/><br/>5.  Short term?  Warm bed, full belly and some half-wit villagers with more gold than sense and a frightful respect for anyone who can rattle some bones and chant nonsense.  Long term?  Pretty much the same.  She likes her life and enjoys duping the backwater folk out of their hard-earned gold.  Though, she secretly<em>would</em>like a little more reason to use her legitimate powers.  It just seems wasteful to use them on bumpkins looking to curse their neighbor or get a bigger...rooster.
