Nomads
You had been sitting in the tavern for almost an hour by the time these two approach you. They look almost exactly as N'liit had described them to you.
"You have to be N'liit's friend." The Angel on the left speaks.
"Are you really here to help us?"
Before you can answer, the much more hesitant man on the right stops you.
"They had better be. We're wasting time by being here otherwise."
The way that his eyes of pure gold hover over you
tells you everything you needed to know.
You had better ask all of your questions,
because these men needed all the help they could get.
It's absolutely no surprise that Nomads want to be on their own.
We want to make that happen.
The younger of the two brothers seems confident in his choice of words. You've noticed that he often takes the forefront of the conversation; like a star, all of the attention needing to be on him.
They aren't happy where they are.
When the older brother speaks up, his voice seems to
drown everything else out in the room.
His presence is commanding, and the way
he holds his shoulders is akin to not only a friend, but a King.
He has an incredibly comforting yet confident stature; like a painting.
The Nymphs will tell you about how happy the Nomads who live there are. In reality, they don't want you to know the truth. They just love having servants there to wash their gaudy clothes.
We want to help them leave.
Seemingly realizing he was at the edge of the conversation,
the little brother comes back between the two of you
to redraw attention to himself.
We have the ability to take them from Eldervine and move them to the Nameless Lands. But we can't do it alone.
Inscriptions
Inscriptions are forehead markings that all nomads have.
It is a way they are easily identified, and some believe it is the source of their magical prowess and potential.
Some believe that the fancier the Inscription, the more powerful a Nomad is; but this theory has been disproven many times.
