Eqen (pronounced EH-ken) is a tengu healer and showman, his skills in the latter far greater and frequently used to disguise his lack of ability in the former. Originally from southern Viridia, he has traveled far from his home, crossing the Chaska Sea several times before finding his way across the Taizzan Expanse to Amshan and then north to the Aban Steppe, swindling and largely pretending to cure those he encounters along the way.
In Y9976* a group of adventurers, seeking allies and caravan members for a journey along the Hundred Days Road to Rovakhad, encountered Eqen in Narbanden and recruited him for his medical expertise. He accompanied them to their final destination, after which he returned to the southern steppe.
