The World (& its Mysteries)

-There is a supposed date of about a century ago where the two towns were established. It is said the people settled themselves on this land because they were curious about its untouched state of being.

-The reason the land was untouched was because it was a pocket dimension to a self-contained cursed world, hidden away from the real world.

Personal (& Secret) History

-Hershi's great great grandfather was a pioneer in discovering the mountains. By coming to and settling, he unleashes the curse onto his people and he is forever stuck in a cycle of rebirth until he can find the way out.

-Hershi's grandfather, Hershel, is the first reincarnation of that great great grandfather. Born with a natural interest in learning, exploration and a calling to the mountains, he was intelligent enough to discover the situation at hand but kept it to himself as he traversed the mountains for years on end, accompanied by his friend, a skeith. The curse began to manifest itself to prevent him from finding his way, burdening Hershel with an illness akin to narcolepsy and lacing his dreams with hazards of all kinds. He was able to survive and gain much knowledge and clues, but fell to an untimely demise that marked the birth of Hershi.

-Hershi, the second reincarnation, gained all of his grandfather's qualities with the addition of one trait, given to him by the curse- obliviousness. This is to dispel any connection to his past lives' understanding of the mountains, the curse and the problems in their world, to keep him from seeking his destiny. Happy and carefree, the curse has him for a fool, when in reality, Hershi's obliviousness saves him numerous times from his narcolepsy-induced 'nightmares'.
