Gone mad

You can no longer remember what it used to be like, before you lost your mind. Not your words - in many ways you feel like you found something more than lost something, but it didn't begin this way. Something triggered the change - the "loss" - it might have been a trauma, something inflicted on you magically, or exposure to something else that your mind simply couldn't wrap itself around, so it snapped. You might hear, see, feel things that nobody else does or can, but you don't necessarily look at this as negative - the voices tell you it is all the way it is meant to be anyway, and they only want the best for you. Right?

Contacts

You tried seeking help once, ultimately to no avail. However, some healers or religious institutions in your origin city know your name after your visit left an impression, and would help you if they could. You have a closer relationship to one kindly individual in particular who occupies a low level position in one of those institutions (of your choice) who has checked on you from time to time.

d1	Contact
