Tian Lang

OC

Race / Cait Sith

Twin Blade / Blademaster

Blade Dancer

Silent and mysterious, Tian Lang is a canine Cait Sith from the Palace Lands. Their face is obscured by a wolfish mask and face paint which hides the details of their features. Most unusually, no one has ever heard them speak. Hand gestures, facial expressions, sign language, and writing are their primary means of communication. As a Blade Dancer, they fight with unusual agility, wielding a pair of wicked looking twin daggers. Tian Lang has shown themself to be social and protective of those close to them, with a fierce fighting spirit and a survivor's tenacity. Outside of combat, Tian Lang has a delicate and clever touch. They are most known for their skill with crafting weapons and small trinkets, enchanting them with effects to aid their fellow Adventurers.

"<Gestures with an exasperated expression: brushing index and middle finger of one hand off the tip of the nose.>" - Tian Lang

Welcoming the Uncrowned 2022 January 1st
The Doctor of Tolbana has an interest in meeting the Uncrowned, but the situation being what it is has had him holed up in the tower coordinating business more often than not. So, instead of sallying forth to meet them out in the wilderness, Prophylaxis has instead invited them to the Dragon's Larder inn, Tolbana, for some rest, relaxation, and an opportunity to potentially find a safe harbor in war-torn Yamato.

It has been a year of Adventurers delving into the underground of various cities across Yamato, seeking to eliminate the rat infestation that has caused so many shopkeepers trouble.

Since then, rats have been finding their way up through the previously sealed passage.

Now, they are seeking brave Adventurers who are willing to, once again, explore the tunnels beneath the city, in order to seek out this new source of rats.

Duty Session 449: For Whom the Bell Gnolls 2022 April 5th
Recently, there has been a shift in the behavior of the gnolls who dwell within the forests close to the newbie leveling areas. They had always been a threat, but it seems as if they have started to change their tactics as a result of Adventurer activity in the area. They no longer strike only at night, meaning that the forests are now a dangerous place, even during the daylight hours. With a number of both Lander and Adventurer deaths attributed to the gnolls, the Hunters Guild has put out a call to thin out their numbers, in the hopes it might return gnoll activity back to normal levels.

With the first, came the Cursed Wave. With the second, came the release of the 'Quarantine' that brought them to the Palace Lands. What could a third New Year hold for them? Has the New Year become naught but a bad omen?
