I want to give a special thanks to Silfir and Gordon for posting their adventures on You Tube. After a decade of intermittent half-hearted, sometimes scummy, attempts I was inspired to go for the real deal! To my surprise, the adrenaline I felt after finally reaching D:50 and being moments away from possibly saving the world, rivaled that of playing Silent Hill for the first time...alone...while sleep deprived...in the dark.

It was a surprise to Boopsie's parents that a candle-born young hurthling would succumb to years of illness during her childhood. What surprised them even more was that she decided not to follow in their proud footsteps as professional adventurers, but that she would rather become a simple farmer. (Why that caused a tear in their relationship I'll never know, after all, they did teach her about gardening, cooking, and food preservation...what did they expect?)

Boopsie started her new life in the Drakalor Chain with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back, some basic tools, and a pack full of bread and rations. Terinyo seemed like a lovely little village to build her new home. There were even some abandoned cabins in the area that just needed a little tender loving care and well, some doors would have made a nice finishing touch. She was sure the drunken fool that always seemed to be afoot meant well with his cryptic babbling, but she would sleep better at night behind a sturdy locked door.

Unfortunately, the townspeople seemed to glare at the newcomer with scrutinizing eyes. Where did she come from? What will she do? Is she really a female? (LOL. Sorry, couldn't resist)

She would have to prove herself with a quest...
