About
Lore of the Golden-Eyed Ones
No one knows the beginning of the golden eyes. Some call it a blessing, while others call it a curse. However, no one knows which is correct.
The Land of Burning Sands, Southern Continent A land of vast deserts and parched wilderness, dotted with oases.
There are nomadic tribes crossing the desert and settled people living around the oases, and trade by caravans is flourishing. Because rare goods brought from afar gather here, it is a land where different cultures and races intersect.
In the south, while there are legends that those with golden eyes are "chosen by the sun," they are also sometimes feared as a sign of a curse or a monstrous nature.
✦ The Desert Merchant ✦
Displaying rare goods, telling tales of foreign lands, and then setting off on a journey once more.
Yet, for some reason, that man returns to this place time and again.
As if
there is something he cannot leave behind here.
He has yet to tell anyone what the most valuable thing in this desert is.
━━━━━━━━━━━━
It is said that somewhere in the sea of sand, a lost oasis lies sleeping.
Is it a legend, or perhaps a hope?
The merchant laughs and shrugs his shoulders.
It is just a legend, he says.
Yet, those golden eyes of his occasionally gaze into the far distance.

Characters
Age: Unknown
Height: 195cm
Occupation: Traveling Merchant
A merchant who travels across various lands.
He wears his long white hair in a loose braid and is characterized by his golden eyes.
He is gentle and approachable, treating everyone with politeness. He brings rare goods and stories of foreign lands, making him popular among the oasis people.
However, he rarely speaks about himself.
Before you know it, he is drinking tea beside you, and before you know it, he has vanished beyond the sea of sand again.
Why does he return to this place so many times? He never intends to reveal the reason himself.
[Shade's Business] He sometimes carries his luggage himself, and other times he transports it on wagons or camels. Crossing the desert and visiting distant countries, he deals in jewelry, ores, spices, and exotic crafts.
To those who do not know the world outside the desert, the stories he tells of foreign lands are a journey in themselves.
