Shan

Backstory

Once a humble garden dweller, you discovered purpose when the Verdant Reaches began to wither. Your kind has always moved slowly, teaching patience to a world obsessed with haste—but patience alone won't stop the Blight. You've carried your tiny sword through impossible terrain, leaving a silver trail of determination across mushroom groves and grass forests. The sorcerer in the Obsidian Spire was spoken of with reverence in old snail songs; learning of their corruption shattered something in you. Now, with shell weathered and resolve unbroken, you journey not for glory but for the life of the land itself—and for the friend you never knew you'd lose.
