Haunted by the cries of the starving and the sight of the afflicted, Brother Timothy sought guidance in the quiet depths of his chapel. In a moment of fervent prayer, he felt a profound shift in his purpose. He interpreted this as a divine directive to take his compassion beyond the confines of his monastery. The world outside was plagued by strife, disease, and darkness, and he sensed that his determination and his unwavering faith could serve as a beacon of hope.Brother Timothy left his monastery heading north and west, away from the central region of human lands and the Divine Nations. He has long known that though the gods my care for the least of their followers their priest often suffer the all to human fallings of pride, sloth, apathy, greed, or for those truly caring like him exhaustion. The Nations and their churches do much good in the central regions with the larger churches and greater clergy numbers. However the fronters are often left with all too few to give solace and aid to those in need. The monastery had been founded by the abbot in a remote frontier region shortly after the Shattering at the end of the Dawn War. but the frontier moved on and now Brother Timothy journeys to help those most in need.
His journey lead him from the Divine nations borders and into the Freeholds where few clergy and fewer temples can be found. The people of these land blame the war and Shattering on the gods and have turned to the arcane arts to replace them. Though the region has learned to make due without divine healing, using bards, alchemical potions, or herbal remedies instead, there still are those unable to pay the price many demand for such services.
And so Brother Timothy makes his way from each outlying village, collecting ingredients along the way to help care for those in need taking only what the people can afford. Be it a bed for the night, a good meal, or an afternoon helping to find and collect his herbs. The day is warm and Brother timothy is further west than he ever has been before. The last village warned him to wait for a traveling merchant but news of a fever outbreak in the next village was too much to ignore.
