This... was complicated. Corbie chewed her lip as she thought about how to explain this concisely and well. "When my gran was a girl in Caloxa, the wizards in charge there were doing some pretty dark shit. 'Bout forty years ago there was a war that wiped out those wizards, which nobody's cried over, and annexed the country to Corambis, which people are still pretty pissed about. But Gran was convinced that they couldn't all be gone. So she hid. And she taught me to hide. And I kept hiding 'til I found somebody to teach me."
