Hub Gwen

Gwen

Hi there! Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Oh, hi there! I'm Gwen, well I mean actually I'm Gwendolyn but gosh, no one ever actually calls me that! So yeah, I'm Gwen. I'm a satyr, but I guess you could probably tell. Y'know, goat legs and all. I know, I know, satyrs are supposed to have horns, but honestly it's just the boys who have horns! People never seem to realize that. Anyway, I live in Sryfe, in the north part of the regular-people continent in The Hub. Oh no no, I don't mean everyone else isn't the regular people it's just the only other continent we ever went to was the faerie land one and that had all faeries on it. 'Cause it's the faerie lands and it's a different continent so we had to sail there on this neat boat with this really cool old elf guy as the captain and it was a lot of fun but we ended up fighting a dragon while we were there and packed up its teeth and claws and a bunch of stuff to bring home but then Xellia stowed away and came with us when we went back to our regular-people continent so I guess it's not completely a regular-people continent anymore because of the fae we brought home and everything, but anyway I don't live on the fae people place, just the regular one. So we got this nice big house and a really cool ogre in a tux as our housekeeper and a wild elf, groundskeeper Willy, to take care of the lawn and horses and everything, and it's an awful nice place to live. I get a big forest in my back yard and a nice town near by with cool shopping and a really nice jeweler who is teaching me to make pretty shiny sparkly things and a nice master seamstress who is showing me how to sew nice clothes for all my friends. Oh and all my friends are really great people and they all live with me too, or I live with them, or well we all bought the house together, a while ago, but some have left and we made new friends since then, so I guess it's not really the same family we were when we bought the house! We find people who fall in to the hub and try to help them out if they haven't quite found their way yet, because we almost got ourselves into pretty big trouble when we first landed, 'cause we found this nasty mage guy who seemed like he was the good guy who could help us get homebut it turns out he was actually an awful mean person who was trying to become an evil god and do all sorts of bad things to the world, and we spent some time working for him before we figured out he was actually the bad guy and sent us to spy on the good guys and then we ended up figuring it out and making friends with the good guys instead --

So um, Gwen, maybe you could tell us a little more about your friends?

Oh, of course! They're all really great people even if we do sort of stand out in a crowd. Well, most of them are really nice, Shathûr can be a little quiet sometimes and he's a bit of a grumpy old demon but he really does mean well. Xellia is a bit of a prankster but she's so smart she always comes up with great things to do, like that time she summoned a bunch of bugs to attack that nasty guy who was sealed off in a wall of force, or the time she cast a light spell on the blade of the snotty drow paladin's sword. We all had a good laught when we heard about that one. Elly is a good kid and she's sure growing up fast! She's a real sweetie though and it's awful sad that she fell in away from her grandpa and her magic school but we take care of her when she needs it and she does a lot to help us and she's gotten to be a really good mage here too and it's pretty weird when the people over at the mage's guild call her "Mistress" but I guess she did give them all those books we found in that lich's cave so that was a really nice thing for her to do. And her owl Aremis is really nice even if he is a dirty old man, but he sure knows an awful lot of stuff! Asterix is a funny guy, he's Pussich's paladin and he tries really hard to be a good paladin but sometimes he doesn't always know exactly what to do, and believe me I know how that feels! He just does his best to keep everyone happy and make everything right, and his unicorn Bill has been a big help to him, even though I don't think Bill likes me too much which is probably 'cause of my night job. And then there's Stylus who we sort of found in a coffin when we kicked that lich guy out of his cave under the city, and he's from way back when there were mage wars or something, a really long long time ago. Which is funny because he still looks really young and someone said he's just been asleep for a long time or something, but I sure thought people still got older when they slept. Maybe I should be getting more sleep! But anyway he's a good kid too, and he has tons of energy so he's a little hyper but I think we're all used to that now. And Nachta just joined us a little while ago when we found her wandering somewhere, but I don't remember if it was before we got out of the underdark or after, but I know it was somewhere around there. She's a drow but she's not really all nasty-drow-bitch drow, she's nice happy drow and she's a ranger and everything and no snake whip or whatever, and she just wants to bring her people back to the way they used to be before they got all stupidly cruel or something, and I think it's great that she's working so hard to help her people.
