In the City of Shemlen

Write a story about a Dalish elf experiencing life in a human city for the first time.

Immerse yourself in the tense, anxious, and fascinating exploration of a new and overwhelming world. It could be a story of wonder, fear, culture shock and a deep longing for home. How does the elf manage to navigate through human customs? Are they treated as a curiosity, a threat or a commodity? Is there anyone who offers a hand of friendship? Themes explored here include culture shock, adaptation, and homesickness.
