It can be said that Theodrick's home has always been on the road, moved by the wheels of a caravan. Son of two gnomes belonging to a traveling circus. Growing up, it was clear that the young gnome was not exactly as talented as his parents. At least not in the pirouettes and juggling. However, the spark for business awoke in him early, looking for new ways to earn money at the expense of circus visitors. Eventually he became an adult, his parents left the circus to seek new thrills, and Theodrick decided to do the same, spending his savings on buying a wagon, which would become his shop.
And so a few years passed, joining various caravans to move their merchandise, and for protection. Until one night, fortune and misfortune struck at the same time. Bandits attacked the caravan in which he was traveling, causing a massacre. Theodrick was hiding among the caravans, going through and messing with the items he recovered from the corpse of a wizard he found in the middle of the road (and who he suspects fell from a great height). And luckily for the gnome, just before the axe of a bandit ended his life, he managed to open a strange-looking cube, from which a masked woman in a white dress and wings of the same color emerged. The morrigna killed all the bandits and then answered Theodrick's questions. She was hunting some wizards who captured souls, when she herself was trapped in a bucket. Since it was not designed to ensnare beings like her, she lost much of its essence, but kept her consciousness. Theodrick's forcible manipulation of the box freed her, but at the cost of binding her to his life force.
After months locked up, she was able to hear that these sorcerers were going to something called "The New World", and she had to go to fulfill her purpose. Theodrick's mind went to work, and there he saw a solution. He decided to help the lady, in exchange for receiving her help. Because, in the end, money and connections are necessary to walk among mortals...
