oh snap my oblivious ass didn't pick that up at all. i'm... really interested in that actually? ok ok ok. here's what i'm thinking. we focus on just surviving right now for arty. food, water, a safe place to hang out. plus her just learning more about the world. i'd also like to have her keep at least a loose connection with the lords.

(oseely especially. idk it just feels nice because pre-island artemis is associated with the moon and changing phases, and hiding in shadows or darkness in an otherwise vibrant world, and then island arty is associated more with the sun and fire what with the red lantern, finding the lord of fire in a charred out remains of the forrest, and being called a sun-child in an eternally dark world. look idk i just really dig themes. and i'm just really interested in learning more about the lords?)

so, goal for arty is to figure out how to survive. later on we can reveal about the dragon being the cause of the plague.

then we have some fun.

(lol thanks for putting up with me throwing all this shit at you mok)

EDIT
the altering the environment and finding ruins thing also sounds hecka cool and i'm game for it

ANOTHER EDIT
i'm rereading old posts and like... how the shit did i miss that the dragon was responsible for the disease? holy shit? you pretty much spell it out for the world to see? oh my god you're fantastic and brilliant i'm sorry i missed the VERY OBVIOUS clues OTL
