Layflat Earthdawn is a Earthdawn campaign for the Layflat RP group

Name: D’zurr Ss’isha Aalvisuul
- D'zurr is her hatching name, given to her by her chaida Syrkhan Ss'isha D'zurr.
  - Her village uses this name as an affectionate, informal name; her friends sometimes call her "Dizzy"
- Ss'isha is the name of her niall (foundation or village)
  - This is her most formal name, acting as a surname would among modern Westerners
- Aalvisuul is her kaissa name, the one she selected when she came of age
  - This name is what she would ordinarily be called among members of her village and reflects her adoration of the T'skrang folk hero, Aal'visss
Race: T'skrang K'stulaami
Discipline: Taildancer 7

Description[]

D'zurr is a slender, agile k'stulaami who is muted blue in color on her head, back and extremities, and fiery orange along her chest, belly and tail underside. Her eyes are bright orange.

She is particularly fond of a dashing hat with a feather, the gift of her great Windling friend, Nephy, but only pulls it on when she wants to impress people.

Among the t'skrang of her niall, D'zurr is regarded as a doleful figure, less flamboyant than most, which has grown worse since the death of her aged chaida. Her lahala (village chief) suggested she travel about to regain her kyaapas (balance) and jik'harra, the flamboyant courage so prized by the t'skrang.

Goals and Fears[]

D'zurr would love to emulate her hero, Aal'visss, with acts of outrageous courage. She hopes to find some missing Aal'visss relict, and would be easy prey to any con artist with an old piece of T'skrang equipment.

She is particularly frightened of underground places and small caves, having nightmares about being trapped in a dwarven grave (T'skrang do not bury their dead). T'skrang children are expected to face those fears, so she is as likely to rush into places like that as she is to rush out of them.

Journals[]

Aal'visss[]

Aal'visss is a t'skrang folk hero, dating back to the Scourge. His exploits have been greatly exaggerated, due to the t'skrang adoration for flamboyance and tall-tales (imagine a combination of King Arthur, Paul Bunyan and Hercules). Legends state that he will return when the t'skrang need him most. Stories conflict over where he is in the meanwhile; D'zurr herself believes he lives among a clan of noble dragons, watching over his followers.

Ref'skala niatis r'russs Aal'visss!

Until Aal'visss returns to set things right!
