Seeker of Hope
No matter how hard life in the Lunar Age is. Some individuals
will simply never surrender in the face of despair and terror,
drawing strength from their natural propension to spread joy
and pursue peace. It is often the most heartbroken or those
who have lost everything who bear this responsibility. A Seeker
of Hope is the one who has filled the void in their heart and
is able to instill their desire to smile in others and allow for
carefree moments even when the world seems to be falling
apart. They often wander, embracing their inner mission to see
the people around them smile again. These characters are key
members in parties of nocturnal adventurers, as they always
take care hat the morale of their companions does not collapse
into the dark abyss where this life can all too easily lead.

Features
FEATURE: BESTOW JOY
A Seeker of Hope is always welcome in settlements. Their words,
actions, songs, and smile give hope for a better future or consolation
for an arduous present. In the Lunar Age, a Seeker of
Hope is nothing more than a small candle in the darkness but, although its light is often faint, a candle’s duty is to transmit its
flame to other candles. The innocent and the pure in spirit are attracted
to the Seeker of Hope, instinctively trusting their words,
and will do anything possible to help them in their mission.
Suggested Characteristics
Seekers of Hope are characters who tend to look for sources of
light even in the thickest darkness. No matter how fiercely the
Dark Mirror may rage in the Known Lands, and no matter how
widespread malevolence is among survivors, these wanderers feel
the strong impulse to give warmth to the hearts of those they
meet. Their optimistic personality and perseverance allow those
around them to smile again, even if only for a few moments.
