Bekka of Wilforn

I am Bekka Venarto of Wilforn and I am the thief who runs the stair! My people rely on me to make sure the threats of the Grand Stair keep well away and also that I bring what I can back to aid them in their lives.
I enjoy the thrill of course. My father, he’s the King you know, gave me Trassel. He travels the Grand Stair with me as he is the only creature native to my world apart from my family and I that can actually pass through the doors. or so they tell me, I have never actually seen my parents pass the doors.
For me it is the risk and rewards of the chase. Moving through new worlds all the time. Tipping my hat here, doing a dance there and whirling to the tune of a musician in the next. To see all of the different worlds is the real reason I travel. None though are the lush verdant landscapes that I frolicked in as a child. Most are largely grey and dirty. Their air smells funny. But every now and again I find that beautiful tune, or I fool a prince into being enamoured with me and he tells me a verse that will be treasured at home. I may find a dance with a new step or a song with a new melody.
It is beauty that I steal from these worlds and I bring them back to my home. My people laugh and love when a new song is sung. I am a stealer of beauty, but the grey of the other worlds tell me that I am not the only one.
