Ask any trainee at the fortress in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, and they will tell you Ganjirou was once obsessed with achieving perfect silence. They studied the legends of Shimo, convinced they could replicate that profound, frozen stillness. The plan was to perform a ritual to quiet the constant hum of the spinning monoliths, just for a moment. But focus and hunger are poor spell components. In the midst of the incantation, Ganjirou reached for their midnight ramen. A slip, a slurp, and the spell backfired catastrophically. They lost their shot at becoming a master of silence. In its place, they received a bowl of ramen, permanently fused to their head, and their carved cane, which now emits an eternal, high-pitched squeak with every single step.
