Once upon a time, a Wizard and a Dragon partook in a challenge. A test of wits. Both maguses taught decades of professional craft in their own rights, they both brought a unique perspective to the table in a challenge. Both gnarly, white, and mildly damp smelling, they had little distractions from the competition. Both more than willing to waive accepted standards, pitiable things like laws and conventions, and both had little concern of consequences or dangers therein.
Yet, as both set to outwit one another in the duel of minds that was a tournament, a duel, a wager, a barter, an unexpected and yet not entirely improbable event occurred.
The subject of the two conspiring minds, you might ask? An effort to replicate and preserve "The perfect feet pic".
This is important, because the improbable event was that when beset with this task, the man and scaley beast of destruction both, a conundrum did askew their twin dreams of conquest.
"Which feet pic?"
In a clash of tapestry, ironing boards and dwarven bone statues, both competitors realized that no terms had been set for a "perfect feet pic" with which to preserve. Indeed, in this part of the Feywild there were few artisans or artists, nor arteries with which to consult either. And so, the duo independently conspired to create the Perfect Feet Pic in addition to preserving it eternally. After all, they were both undisputed geniuses - what else would prove their credentials if not also providing the best feet pic?
For the man, now in his late 70's, perfection was youth. Through his pilgrimage in the Feywild he had been blessed with many a trope of bashful boy fairies and cherubs, each exuding incorruptible, ageless beauty. And so the man constructed a controversial piece that may be considered a fetish by more preverse entities like handsome haflings.
But, for the dragon, a creature of boundless destructive power, greed, and affinity for shiny things, perfection was gold. The dragon reasoned that the simplicity of gold represented its perfection - desirable, durable, and useful in alchemical applications. And, so, the dragon opted out of making a specific type of foot and focused on its presentation as a golden effigy.
As one might consider, when the two compared their grand accomplishments - with the Wizard's petrified albeit decidedly femine boy feet, and the dragon's glaring and lacquered gold foot, both were struck with the audacity, the chastity, and the glam of each other's resolution to the unspoken question of what makes the "perfect" feet picture.
As if often the case, the two came to blows over a violent four-hour debate over curvy fey boys and bling, and the resulting onslaught of magic and teeth tore a hole through the feywild. It just so happened that the hole opened up inside a city, destroying it utterly.
Although the wizard and dragon eventually calmed down and settled their differences like adults, the flaming wreckage left behind by the massive surge of magic and Feywild corruption would leave behind a hideous scar for centuries to come, along with peculiar and unusual creatures twisted by that event.
Such as the one that slinks in the shadows between guilds, seeking for opportunities to steal things from anywhere with something worth stealing. While some regard her as a criminal, others a violent, untamed assassin, and some a force of nature sent to punish peasants with unguarded camels, everyone knows one thing for sure - the bullying can be scarring.
