Come inside. My room may not seem special, nor extravagant, but in my tribe the company we keep is more important than the furniture we own. Stay here and rest and tell me of your studies and worries. There is a great bounty in listening. Listen to the birds in their songs. Listen to the drops of dew in the morning calm. Listen to our friends in their struggles and misfortunes. Listening is how I found this artifact. I heard the god's whisper and in turn he heard my cry for help. Strange, no? Even the gods just want to be heard sometimes.

Born to a large merchant family, Ufi grew up surrounded by various cultures and people. Always on the move, Ufi soon learned that a warm smile and a hot meal could melt even the coldest of hearts. Raised to be a doctor for his tribe, he grew to be a strong, thoughtful young man with a deep knowledge of medicine and plants. Ufi loved his family and his village and considered himself blessed by the love they showed him in return.

During an outing to collect wood, Ufi discovered an ancient set of stone beads engraved with an intricate design. Unable to identify the symbols, Ufi sought out a the advice of a sage. The sage told Ufi that he had not seen such a symbol before, but could tell it was some sort of holy symbol. Intrigued, Ufi refused to sell the artifact and tried to study it every so often. One day, his father fell deathly ill. Despite his best effort, Ufi was unable to heal him with traditional methods. Grasping the symbol, Ufi let out a prayer so heartfelt that whatever god was beyond that holy symbol heard his prayer and it was the first time Ufi was able to cast a spell. Seeing this as a sign of the divine, the group decided that Ufi needed to seek out the name of this god to properly thank them. Surely the god has something in mind for Ufi? Was Ufi chosen by fate? Happenstance? Just what would this god require of Ufi in exchange for saving his father's life? A thousand questions with only a single answer.

Ufi felt uncertain about leaving his village, but he traveled with Kalaggi Nakutu to the university. He now wishes to learn as much as he can about magic and his new faith, and he hopes to protect his classmates and make his village proud. Ufi likes all his fellow students, but, besides the almost familial bond he shares with Kalaggi Nakutu, he’s particularly captivated by Zane’s easygoing demeanor and wit.

1. There is a leshy garden at the university. He has expressed interest in spending downtime there to meet the leshys (something that he has only met once before as they do not frequently grow where he lives), but he is too busy with his studies and needs help with the more advanced homework (arcana or occultism).
2. He needs to figure out what the hell is his religious symbol. When not in classes or working, he will likely be in the library searching for information on dead / forgotten gods.
3. Be the best and most goodest boi in the whole university (in progress)
4. Save Toff's life at least 4 more times (in progress).
5. Learn how to be better at stealth as his lack of stealth almost got Toff killed and wracks him with guilt (in progress).
6. Learn how to be better at deception as his heart is just too pure for this world (in progress).
7. Train a small pet animal. Probably a pet bird.

1. Access to cooking items, divine healing, and religion knowledge (automatic pass for basic knowledge on any religion when consulted).
2. Cannot critically fail. You instead take the failure effect. This also applies to Religion checks if he is nearby.
3. Focus Spell: Healer's Blessing or Dazzling Flash. If you gain a deeper friendship, he can eventually teach you a higher level focus spell, but only if your primary class is a spellcaster with high level spell slots. This would be a reward in a much later book.

Notes
