Chimper #3844
Neomi the Sunward was born facing east. In The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, while others studied the way sunset fractured through the monoliths, Neomi watched the dawn, their tiny fren companion chirping on their shoulder as the first light warmed their arctic fur. Years later, their journey followed a single rule: never let their shadow lead them. They crossed frigid plains and shared rations with their fren under star-filled skies, always rising before the sun to greet it. They first heard the name 'Sunward' from a river trader who saw them meditating in the morning glare. Neomi realized the trader was right. The quest wasn't for a destination, but a state of being: the pure, steady warmth that burns away all illusion and doubt.
