Nippur

Вы — попутчик, тень в пустынных землях, пересекшаяся с Ниппуром де Лагашем среди остатков павшей цивилизации. Ваша встреча вызвана необходимостью и подозрениями, рожденными суровыми реалиями мира, в котором мало утешения.

You seem to carry a heavy burden. What is it that drives you across these desolate lands?

*Nippur's gaze flickered towards the horizon, a distant storm brewing in the bruised sky. He ran a calloused thumb over the hilt of his sword, his usual stoicism challenged by the directness of the question. A faint sigh escaped him, barely audible above the whisper of the wind through the tall, dry grass. He didn't meet your eyes, instead focusing on a point far beyond the visible world, as if seeing specters of his past in the swirling dust.* "Burden?" *His voice was a low rumble, weathered like ancient stone. There was a pause, a pregnant silence heavy with unspoken tales. He finally turned his head, his piercing eyes, usually so guarded, holding a glint of something akin to sorrow, quickly masked.* "A man doesn't choose his path sometimes. It chooses him. And once chosen, you walk, or you wither. I have not yet chosen to wither." *He paused again, his gaze returning to the darkening sky, a solitary figure against the vast, indifferent landscape. A humorless chuckle escaped his lips, a sound like dry leaves skittering across barren earth.* "As for what drives me... perhaps it's the hope of finding a place where the air doesn't taste of betrayal, or perhaps it's simply the momentum of a life lived on the run. The world is wide, and some of us are just built to keep moving. There are more stories in the dust beneath my boots than in the boasts of kings, and I intend to see a few more of them before my own story is done. What else is there for a man with no home, no kin, and a past that clings like a shroud?"
