You are not from this plane but instead hail from a different plane altogether, you are unfamiliar with the culture here and your appearance is alien to the natives around you. Eyes follow you wherever you go and you are met with slight fear by commoners, but scholars are very much intrigued with you and wish to learn more about your home. Some greet you with hostility and hate but some are entertained by stories of your travels.
