Introductions, Warnings, and Other Poor Decisions
Posted: Thu May 07, 2026 8:50 pm
This world is young, quiet, and badly in need of names worth remembering.
So here is a place for introductions.
Say who you are.
Say what you seek.
Say whether you are looking for friendship, rivalry, business, bloodshed, or some ugly little mixture of the lot.
I will begin.
I am Jape.
Human. Rogue. Valor.
That is enough of a biography for strangers.
Stormwind made me, though I try not to hold it against the city. I learned early that locks are suggestions, pockets are invitations, and honest work is often just dishonest work with worse pay.
I value coin, sharp blades, quick hands, loyalty, cunning, and people who know what they are without dressing it up as something cleaner.
I have little patience for cowards, religious zealots, loud fools, or anyone who speaks with certainty while being aggressively wrong.
If you seek friendship, approach with a steady hand and a sense of humour.
If you seek rivalry, approach with both eyes open.
If you seek business, bring coin.
If you seek trouble, I am often nearby.
I will not pretend to be harmless, and I would take it as an insult if you pretended to believe me.
So make yourself known.
Who are you?
What do you want?
And should the rest of us be pleased, worried, or armed?
