The Vesneratch timeline
You will undoubtedly feel this account severely lacking. Unfortunately, this is all I can give of myself. Time will tell if more details will come forth. For now, this is all you can know of me. Do with it what you will.
Birth – Late 1900s –
My journey on this earth began during the last century. Two wonderful parents reared me in a home with many children. But not too many. It was in this environment in the western United States that I developed an early passion for storytelling, especially at the dinner table. If you didn’t have a good enough story, you would not be heard over the clamor of eager children.
– My youth
I was a child of many passions. I enjoyed playing and watching basketball. Mostly because I was too thin and frail for football. Video games often enticed me, though I was never much good at them. Unless we played Super Smash Bros. (Melee). In which case… beware my prowess. But above all, I enjoyed reading. So much so that my mother rewarded me with a fresh book when my marks in academia were high.
Academia –
Such a place is for the wise and dedicated members of society. Unfortunately, I was no such person. Studies of arithmetic and the sciences left me bored and begging for death. Only classes of art, theater and writing piqued my interest. Concepts that will not feed a family. Or so I was told. Somehow I managed to craft a set of skills the world deemed valuable, without the use of too many numbers and equations. One of the expendables, I suppose.
– Companionship
I’ve discovered marriage to be a wonderful institution within our culture. Highly recommended. My companion has given me constant support in my pursuit of building worlds upon blank pages. Additionally, there is no better person to venture into the woodlands and mountains with. Such can be dangerous places to travel alone.
Labor –
Ah, money. The lifeblood of modern survival. As I mentioned earlier, I was never destined to acquire much currency in the traditional fields of wealth. Engineering, Medicine… heir to the royal family… Not for me, unfortunately. Still, I found joy in my work crafting relationships and connecting people from across the world. Quite a wonderful profession. Perhaps not exactly noble, but then again, nobility is not in my blood.
– Wordsmithing
Discovering lost worlds is no easy task. One that required the utmost diligence and persistence over many years of research and discovery. But alas, I have learned of the lost worlds. Worlds without human influence (for the most part). Of course, telling such things to other humans has been met with skeptism and loathing. To which I say… leave now and enjoy your ignorance.
