But only up to a certain point, as there is a constant danger that they will get sucked into other worlds or get lost in their fantasies.

These experiences affect them deeply, and they feel anguish when they must be separated from a loved one, but they are also indestructible, perhaps due to their ability to get to the essence of things, to face them and learn from them. Therefore, although these people think and read a lot, their wisdom comes from life experience, which they value above all else.

To do this they will have to defeat the dragons or monsters they find along the way, or perhaps transform them into companions and guides.
