Being this dnd 5e witchlight hand background you shall crept into the Witchlight Carnival like a child or the youth that never ever been looked back though, acquiring a place among those who would work behind the scenes in order to keep the carnival in the business. Like a hand, you may work harder and after that party hard.
However the carnival has borne you for many of the fantastic worlds, circling back around of your home world once in every eight years, but do you know that almost nothing of these worlds because you spend all your time in the carnival. Even though you may know the othe hands well, but of course the carnival’s owners-Mister Witch and Mister Light-would be remain mysterious to you even after all these long years.
You might have been joined the carnival for escape the dismal life at home, or else maybe you would enchanted by the idea of visiting the new places or even the dream of becoming one of the carnival’s star attractions. In any case, now that you’re older, this carnival life has lost some of its appeal. Also the daily routine has been grown tedious, the cyclical nature of the carnival’s journey monotonous. Probably the carnival has no longer been filled your heart with the sense of wonder. Perhaps greater adventures await you beyond the carnival’s gates.
