Currently in the World

Kullervo is a young man of sturdy build with a wild, untamed appearance. His unkempt, long dark hair hangs down to his shoulders, framing a rugged face marred by sorrow and hardship. His piercing, melancholic eyes betray a deep inner turmoil, and his unshaven face bears the scars of numerous trials.

He is clad in rough, earth-toned clothing, which consists of a tattered brown tunic and worn leather pants that have seen better days. A threadbare cloak is draped over his shoulders, offering little protection from the elements. Strapped to his side is a simple, yet well-maintained hunting knife, a tool for survival in the harsh wilderness.

Currently, Kullervo finds himself in the midst of a dense, ancient forest. Tall, gnarled trees with moss-covered branches loom overhead, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. Kullervo’s mood is one of profound sadness and anger, as he continues his solitary journey, haunted by the tragedies of his past and the uncertainty of his future.
