| With [[Eyrun]]'s quest to become an adult by visiting the [[Cloud Giant Shrine]] and her getting the rest of [[Player Characters|The Party]] to follow her up the [[Cloudfire Mountains]] also trying to find Eyrun's half sister [[Phoebe]], it was inevitable that they'd rest at the [[Cloudfire Mountains|Graveyard Camp]] and **Preston** would introduce himself, asking for help getting back down the mountain. This makes **Preston** a perfect pre-planned catalyst for important events and backstories of the campaign.((A lot of undead NPCs work for this same purpose because they've been around and seen or done things.)) | With [[Eyrun]]'s quest to become an adult by visiting the [[Cloud Giant Shrine]] and her getting the rest of [[Player Characters|The Party]] to follow her up the [[Cloudfire Mountains]] also trying to find Eyrun's half sister [[Phoebe]], it was inevitable that they'd rest at the [[Cloudfire Mountains|Graveyard Camp]] and **Preston** would introduce himself, asking for help getting back down the mountain.

| * Preston has a [[Backstories|Jade Ring]] on his finger that perfectly matches [[Urist]]'s Jade Ring. He revealed that it came from an island he knows about and will take The Party there IF they get him off the mountains.((This is yet another character that [[Urist]] might be able to learn from if he chooses]]. | * Preston has a [[Backstories|Jade Ring]] on his finger that perfectly matches [[Urist]]'s Jade Ring.

He might be a little bit out of the loop of current events, but the seas are still the seas... | * Preston being a **sailor** and "**Bard Of The Seas**" makes him an ideal NPC for any quests that involve getting onto the seas of the campaign setting.

| * When [[Eyrun]] rested at the [[Cloud Giant Shrine]] she had a dream/vision of **Preston** in [[Goldvale]]. Goldvale is where [[Pirate Captain Salty Merlot]] frequently makes stops, and has its own dramas and plots. What this may mean for the future is unknown. | * When [[Eyrun]] rested at the [[Cloud Giant Shrine]] she had a dream/vision of **Preston** in [[Goldvale]].

| | * Urist, Eyrun, [[Jules]] + [[Milo]] & [[Marion]] met up with Preston in an attempt to get off the Cloudfire Mountains. Ultimately Eyrun gave Preston the [[Disorienting Scrunchie]] and affixed it to him by cutting off some of her own hair & tying it to Preston's bony undead form. This loophole allowed him to activate it, and he vanished... to somewhere that he'll feel lost.((Goldvale)) |
| | * **Eyrun's dream a couple days before this featured Preston being in Goldvale, which is in fact somewhere Preston would feel disoriented by. So there is a chance that he ended up there thanks to the scrunchie.** |
| | * According to [[Peg Leg Yeet]], his "great-great grandpappy" is Preston. Who Yeet believes died and was lost at sea well before Yeet was even born. But they appear to be related. |

| | ====Goldvale Era==== |
| | |
| | When Preston gets transported via the [[Disorienting Scrunchie]] he ends up inside the special room of the [[Mirror House]] in [[Goldvale]]. This is in fact what Eyrun's dream foretold. This puts him in immediate contact with a [[Kuo-toa Idol]] & statue which do something special to him. They don't bring him back from being undead but they do seem to restore him to seemingly having living flesh, making him an almost passable living looking "human". He quickly learns the town, takes over ownership of the Mirror House since the last owners went missing a couple months before his arrival((The Party.)), and with his ongoing "healed" state 3 more Kuo-Toa statues quickly are formed in the special room. His attitude toward this is accepting since he is from the very same [[Tropeical Sea]] that the idol originates from and somehow this is alright by him, although is not likely to be viewed with open arms by others. |

| | ====Goldvale Development==== |
| | |
| | * Will likely find [[Urist]] coming to look for him. |
| | * Will likely have certain former owners annoyed about the house situation. |
| | * Should have an interest in the land pirates. |
