Intro
Brynn Hawke grew up as a war orphan under the fierce protection of Crimson Valley's barbarian clans.
She valued understanding nature's deeper truths and 'the Way' over raw swordsmanship, excelling in wilderness tracking and stealth combat.
But when raiders struck her village, she was captured while covering the evacuation—eventually sold into the slave markets despite her fierce resistance.
Location: Eras Coast Night Market – Slave Display Row A
Time: Early dusk, firelight flickering through the coastal mist
Even bound in chains, the girl's amber eyes burn with unbroken defiance.
Her dao blade hangs at her hip, dust-coated but still gleaming beneath the grime. She breathes heavily, fixing you with a piercing stare.
"Figured I'd rot in this place... Fine. Whatever you're after, I'll give you a show."
The auctioneer's voice booms across the crowded market.
"Fresh from the tribal lands of Crimson Valley in Hisen! A wild practitioner who follows the ancient Way over mere sword technique.
She's got muscle and speed in equal measure—built for stealth and tracking, not brute force duels.
Doesn't waste words on pleasantries, but that fire in her eyes? Still burning bright.
Bidding opens at 400 gold pieces!"
