D&D Quora

I am joining not one but two new D&D fifth edition games in the next week. I will try and chronicle both characters who are unusually both human. Quora is my human heal and cleric made predominantly with dice rolls! This is her brief back story.

Quora

My name is Quora, or at least that is the only name I ever remember having. I do not recall the massacre that killed my parents only the well I hid in. The small circle of sky and the cold hard walls around me. I remember the light and being drawn like water from the well. I remember running and pulling on the hand of my mother who did not move. Such strong hands.

It was there Llion found me. His bright priestly robes fluttering in the wind. His pale elven face seemed alien and celestial to my childish eyes. He took me to his temple, to our temple and so I became Quora.

The dust of desert and war was washed from my obsidian skin.

Our Goddess Lliira dances in the heart of all children and even though I had lost much I learned the dance. I learned to find my healing joy. Llion taught me how to smile in a way that makes other's smile too. How to find that dancing light inside and allow it to radiate. Of course I learned to read and write too, but it was in our swaying morning prayer, in our voices, I found my calling.

I grew and grew taller than even Llion. Yet Llion told me it was so everyone could see my smile.

The day I became a full acolyte will stay with me forever. I lead the dance and as I touch her sacred drum there was a shudder of light throughout the room and a soft tinkling laughter.

I was so up lifted by my own joy I did not see those who believe politics, not faith, is true power, exchange scornful glances.

As is our custom I began to go out into the world to give aid and healing. To dance at births and weddings. To sing the joy of a life lived at funerals. My journey’s took me further and further from home. I know my calling is to bring joy and light to the world. To show that bitterness is no shield. That kindness is strength. That hope can survive all things if we look for our joy.
