Honorary warriors
In Spring of 2022 the Forgotten Runes Wizard Cult community of over 3000 members voted on who in the community should get a specially created one of a kind warrior. I am honored to be one of the chosen 19. I got to select how she would look and her name. The adventures she will take will make you fall in love with her and her falcon Kez.
This is who I am
My scars are on the inside and out
My courage won’t slow me down
I am not afraid to fight
This is who I am
My sacrifices are all around
My will to defend keeps me sound
I am not afraid to fight
This is who I am
I am not like anyone you know
I am silly, cautious, and bold
I am quiet, sensible, and loud
I am unpredictable and proud
My oath defines my loyalty
This is who I am
I am me

Sharla dissector of the Citadel #4787
Sharla Dissector of the Citadel #4787
Sharla was the lead singer in a punk band called 1440 Minutes. After playing in different bars around Chronomanacer’s Riviera for 3 years the band started arguing about if they should record more music or keep playing the same songs. Sharla left to try a solo career.
Weeks later she called up several friends to come over and hang out. Later that night the band, “The Purple Kale” was formed. Within days the band had several new songs written and booked a couple of places to perform. The song, “Lost Thoughts” became their anthem.
A couple of yellow hat wizards who hung out along the Riviera started an underground market to sell tickets to their concerts because there was such a high demand to see them.
Several months later in the early morning hours Sharla walked home and instead of smiling her face frowned.
“What’s the matter with me? I’m successful. Why am I not happy?” she wondered.
Over the next several months Sharla continued to feel restless as she performed as lead singer with the band Purple Kale. Walking home late on a Thursday night she kicked a stone with her boot. It tumbled down the street and came to a stop in front of a sewer drain. She shouted out, “Something is missing from my life.” Walking over to another stone she kicked it down the sewer and wondered, “But what? Why do I feel like this when everything is going so well?” Sharla stood there for a few minutes and then walked the rest of the way home in silence.
The next morning the venue for their weekend show informed the band they wouldn’t be open. The group decided to not reschedule somewhere else and instead take some much needed days off.
Sharla sat outside a cafe along the Chronomanacer’s Riviera on Saturday morning. The taste of her black tea made her smile. She looked up at the mountains off to the southeast. Muscle Mountain towered over the rest of the peaks and the entire landscape was beautiful as the recent rains gave life to the wildflowers. Sharla felt a sudden need to go and hike up the mountain. “Some fresh air and meditation will do me good,” she thought as she finished her tea and left for home to find her hiking boots.
