>>6120947... You are a spirit summoner. As far as you know, it's a bit of a vanishing art. Ever since necromancy got decriminalized (out of sheer necessity, you assume), most people sprang for that option, since it's more efficient and easier to learn. But you've always found it unbearably distasteful. Besides, you've always had an odd knack for communing with spirits of nature. Not that you can sense many here.
Your brass staff is safely strapped to your back. Nearly as long as you are tall, it ends in a ring formation from which two dirty-golden hoops hang. Your contracted spirits reside in those. In fact, they haven't been summoned since before your trip began. You wonder if they'll experience some form of culture shock.
