Murder in Arabel: Meet Yurkash

You grew up in Arabel with your single mother, Ysabel. In your teens, your appearance began to change—pointed, furry ears and sharp canines marked you as different. Mockery turned to violence.

Only Ysabel and your friend Gormon showed you kindness. But even their support couldn’t shield you forever. One day, you fled Arabel—its cruelty too much to bear.

You survived by stealing food and hiding, until the Wild Wardens—a nomadic band of druids and rangers from so-called “savage species”—found and embraced you. They saw your nature not as a curse, but a gift.

Now, as part of your rite of passage, they’ve sent you back. A werewolf stalks Arabel’s streets, its mind lost to primal urges. You must stop it.

But Arabel hasn’t changed. You feel the city’s silent judgment. Your old home is gone. Ysabel vanished. Grief, dread, and hope battle within you. You're here on a quest—but your past haunts every step.

Ortega-Namir. Gifted fiery powers by an efreeti, you arrive in Arabel to avenge your murdered cousins—only to uncover a chilling conspiracy and secrets that could burn far deeper than grief.

Dawa. You found hope in Arabel—then lost everything. Now, with your brother and friend dead, only vengeance remains. The real killers are still out there—and you'll stop at nothing to find them.

Gormon. You charm nobles while picking their pockets—but when corrupt guards rob the woman you call family, your tricks must serve a greater cause. You’ve got four days to save her from ruin.

Moonlight. Undead stalk Arabel’s streets. As a holy knight sworn to purge their kind, you suspect a necromancer hides in plain sight. You’ve lost family to darkness before—you won’t let it happen again.

Swaying Dandelion. Trained by monk-mages to recover lost relics, you now seek forbidden artifacts stolen by a warlock. With a holy knight at your side, your pilgrimage could end in glory—or tragedy.
