## Backstory

Some say it was only /natural/ that dryads (and others like them) would be drawn toward the gift created by the god of nature themself when people started traveling to the new world in earnest. Lilian's ancestors were among such people, and her great great great grandpa (or Pappy, as her family is fond of calling him) was one of the first to settle into the vibrant town of Yggdraville. Pappy was a thespian through and through, so his contributions to the community manifested as the beloved playhouse known as the Treehouse Garden Theater. 150 years later and Lilian is the latest in a long line of actors, scriptwriters, technicians, and more who have lived and passed through the theater's wooden interior.

The theater hosts a great deal of plays about traveling through the new world and discovering its secrets, but Lilian was never interested in leaving her home town until meeting one Miss Needles. Needles was a scholar, a woman about Lilian's age but one who was all at once so much more knowledgeable and much more reclusive and introverted than faer. The prickly girl's reluctance to engage with Lilian's playful introduction only spurred Lilian on toward spending more time getting to know her. Needles protested at first, having only come to Yggdraville in her quest for knowledge, but eventually the two had something one would call a friendship if you squinted.

One day, Needles seemed to disappear without a trace. When Lilian asked around for where she might have gone, many townsfolk considered the fact that Needles was a traveler and concluded that she must have moved on to another town. Lilian felt this wasn't a satisfactory answer, and through further investigation found a terrible sight. Needles, dead, in her own quarters at the inn she was staying at. The cause of death was a mystery, but Lilian wasn't thinking of that as they decided what they had to do.

There was a well at the end of the world.

If one traveled there, and passed through the waters beneath, they could deliver a sliver of a loved one who had passed and bring them back to life. It was a thing of miracles, and Lilian was going to bring faer friend back.

Before her trip, Lilian said goodbye to the only home they'd ever known. Their parents gave them a special parting gift: a masquerade mask embued with the magic of the tree the playhouse was built from. It strengthened their magical abilities, something they'd need for the trials ahead of them.

Though the trip was long and arduous, Lilian made the best of things by stopping between towns and learning about other people's lives as fae went. Soon enough, fae reached the Well and was able to bring Needles back from the dead. The original guardian of the well - tasked with judging the dead before ressurection - had approved of Needles In doing so they also learned a detail about Needles's death that they shared with Lilian afterwards.

Now at the edge of the world, Lilian has volunteered to become a member of a group of people who will offer their services to investigate the heart and mind of the dead brought to the well. Lilian wants to offer every grieving friend and family member a chance to bring their dead back like they had been given, so they are willing to give everyone a second chance.

Whether that turns out to be a good idea is yet to be seen, but Needles at least has faer back as a friend and confidant.
