Ardent Woods

Brenna Briarstep - Ranger (Hunter)

“I know where the rarest cures grow. I also know what kind of monsters they grow on.”

“If a cure can save thousands, do we have the right to keep it hidden where only dozens drink?”

“Bones knit on their own given time. Hearts don’t. That’s where the real work lies.”

“The forest hears every promise. The fey remember every loophole.”

“I was walking in my sleep again? Hm. Then I suppose the forest had something to say.”

“Rest now. If anything comes hunting your dreams, it will have to pass through mine first.”

“The worst part isn’t seeing what might happen. It’s knowing when to say nothing.”

“The sky is not above you, little one. It’s all around you, waiting to be read.”

“Storms don’t ask permission. Neither do smugglers. That’s why I sleep in my boots.”

“Nothing travels faster than bad news—unless you’ve hired me and paid extra for discretion.”

“Metal remembers the hands that shaped it. So do I.”

“Roads don’t move goods—people do. Treat them well, and the wagons practically roll themselves.”
