I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

Thinking up ideas for Golden Cheese backstory before the kingdom

I’m thinking she was found in the middle of the desert, and was found then collectively raised by the poor village folk. I feel like she was probably mainly raised by the village head, a kooky old man who i don’t have an idea for a for name yet lol.

adding a little more ideas below the cut

I think i got this idea from @ skybristle (don’t know if they’re ok with a mention lol) but as she grew she probably started stealing things from other villages, or more often, Travellers who found her looking for guidance to the villages that would’ve been found nearer to the main river (and source of water). She’d pickpocket them for money, food, or other goods as “payment” for her help.

She also probably frequently eats bugs, especially beetles that she could find in caves (similar to the cheese birds)— that being said she has probably a higher immunity to bad food and getting sick as compared to the other ancients

Actually putting these two side by side is both weird and pleasing

I played Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning back when I was saving up to get a ps5 to play bg3, the random character Syvin I slapped together for it grew on me, partially because I just had a great time with it and partially because the way I played him fit the story really well without knowing anything about it lol second bg3 playthrough I decided to put Syvin through the bs and have the idea of koarr as his background

He’s been living in my head rent free and he has his own personal background now and all that stuff but the original concept of him from koarr is still so much fun

Lysimachia nemorum, yellow pimpernels, didn’t historically have many ethnobotanical uses. They’re a very pretty flash of color in the Scottish Highlands, though! Pimpernels are in the primrose family, Primulaceae, and their genus, Lysimachia, has undergone a lot of reclassification lately. They’re closely related to the scarlet pimpernel, Lysimachia arvensis (recently moved from Anagallis), which is a common garden flower, and of course, was as the non de guerre of the hero of Baroness Orczy novels. Unlike the scarlet pimpernel, though, they tend to grow in shaded, damp areas. Interestingly, they’re also closely related to starflowers, including western starflower, Lysimachia latifolia (moved from Trientalis), which is common on the west coast of North America and has a small, edible tuber.

I’ve seen the scarlet pimpernel cited as the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien’s Elanor, a plant he described as growing in Middle Earth in Lórien. I personally think the yellow pimpernel is a more likely option, though, because it’s more likely to grow in ancient woodland areas with old growth and, after all, Tolkien indicated that it was yellow (its name meaning “sun-star” in Sindarin).
