Oh but I have been so busy - I can barely find time to write lately.
I’ve been doing a lot of hunting for the tribe - we met in Winterspring and I never left. I was hired on by a dwarf for a guided hunt, and then the goblins of Everlook asked me to do a cull of predators- There’s been a surge in coyotes in the area, sadly, and while goblins are spunky people, they are short. They have reason to be a little afraid of them in the snow at night. Plus the coyotes have been lurking in Everlook in the wee hours - thats not always safe!
On top of that, I brought down several deer - all had great hides that I am preparing for the tribe, along with the meat. I hired on a group of goblins here in Everlook - they’re eager for the work and the coin we agreed on. I said they’ll get paid after they make the delivery though - the last group was skimming supplies off the load and had to be fired. This lot seem irritated at the terms, but I need to ensure my supplies arrive completely! They get that much, but as with most goblins I have worked with, are eager for their payments. But I’m glad the food goes somewhere - the tribe seems to benefit from it, unless someone says otherwise. I’ll have a load of bones for carving for them soon too.
I had a curious encounter at the lodge recently - I’d been in for a class, and a classmate - a human lady - left for a moment. Her name was Dacy! She’s such a sweet lady - we’re both fond of the kodo for companions. So she left, and someone else came back - one of those worgens? I’d only met one at the village, so I was surprised when this one came up and started talking to me, wearing Dacy’s armor and knowing my name. I was so confused! She explained herself, and I confess I was alarmed. I had no idea worgen were shape-shifters. She explained it’s not uncommon in the world - that her people- Worgen, as well as others, and druids and shamans - there are all sorts of folk that can shift forms.
I mention all of this because I discovered I have a horror of shape shifting. It’s not racial - I don’t look at a worgen and say ‘ew alliance’, I learned I have a horror of people not keeping the shape I thought was their own. Dacy was so kind about this, even showing me some of what she goes through for her own change. She says it’s not like druids or shaman, but still an energetic, vigorous change. But I am still glad I have hooves, firmly on the ground. She explained I might gain better conversation from a druid, or a shaman - she called their changes more natural, where hers is from a direct cause. But I only know one druid - that old weird lady from Stormheim, and one shaman - Elder Wooshy. I’m kind of afraid to bring it up - it feels like it might be rude. Maybe I’ll ask Miss Rhedin, or Routy, later. I wonder that they have some insight.
I was also introduced to a - a people? these Aspects? Someone was talking about something called Ysera, showing off a statue of a woman with horns (more shape shifting!), explaining she was the dragon Aspect of the Dreaming. They - an elf - explained it was a sacred place for druids and night elves, she even mentioned I might find books on the topic. But I recalled Miss Rhedin having some emotions on the mention of this name, so I could possibly ask her, too. I have so many questions, hopefully Routy and Rhedin don’t tire of them.
