Her hair is dreadlocked and tamed while her sword is polished and at the ready. Her armor is dressed properly and her is shield draped on her back. On her neck is a tattoo that seems to be the creed of the Confederate Military Academy of Bullwark.<br /> <br /> Scared, tattooed, and certainly not a cuddlier when it's over.<br /> == History ==<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qL57WBd.png<br /> |}<br /> Born into a proud military family within the Bullwark military structure, Adreinne's lineage was steeped in valor and dedication. Her ancestors had fought for the confederation, modestly rising within the ranks with each generation proving itself. Adreinne was no different. She followed in her family's storied history and attended the Confederate Military Academy, before signing up with the Confederate Army of Bullwark for the better part of a decade. Stationed on the border with Dubunat, she frequently saw heavy action.<br /> <br /> In her last skirmish at the border, Adreinne took an axe to her helm that penetrated the reinforced metal, leaving her gravely wounded. Her company found her after the battle ended and brought in the White Necromancers of Uol to attend to her wounds. Defying the odds, she found her way back into the fray the following season on the border. This was her world, her calling, and what she understood best.<br /> <br /> After a decade of service and fulfilling her contract with the Confederate Army of Bullwark, Adreinne believed she would be offered an officer's contract, opening her path to the Knights—where many of her bloodline had served. But in a cruel twist of fate, she wasn't offered even a contract at her current rank of Command Sergeant. Instead, the position went to a young man fresh out of the Academy because of family ties. Paid out for surviving the decade-long contract, she found herself retired in her prime.<br /> <br /> Her father, leveraging his connections, managed to secure her a post at the Confederate Military Academy, where she was given the rank of Instructor of Heavy Infantry, Junior Grade. After two years, she was promoted to full instructor, proving that she not only remembered what she was taught but could also teach it effectively. While taking students out on a seasonal shakedown patrol before promoting them into their final year, they discovered signs of goblins. Adreinne took command from the students to ensure a safe retreat.<br /> <br /> However, a few students of higher family rank refused to follow the orders of an instructor, believing their own status as officers of the academy exempted them from obeying. In the ensuing chaos, while most students formed defensive lines and prepared to retreat, those refusing orders broke rank and sought glory against unknown numbers. The result was catastrophic—the loss of 36 out of her 82 students before the goblins retreated.<br /> <br /> Duty-bound, Adreinne accepted the punishment for her failure to control the students and ensure their safety. She was stripped of her rank and lashed 36 times for each lost student and an additional 11 times for the generations of her family she dishonored. This punishment was carried out in full view of the students and her parents. A week later, she awoke in the hospital to discover she was no longer a Rathmore and had been outcast by her own parents for the dishonor. She took the name Scarletwound, a somber nod to the appearance of her back.<br /> <br /> Upon her release by the healers, Adreinne took to traveling as a mercenary, her goal being to head south to the uncivilized lands she had heard about from others.<br /> <br /> Adreinne's journey was marked by a relentless pursuit of purpose and redemption. She wandered the lands, taking on various mercenary jobs, her skills honed by years of combat and instruction. Her reputation grew, not just as a formidable warrior but as a leader who bore her scars with pride and resilience.<br /> <br /> The weight of her past, the loss of her family, and the burden of her dishonor drove her forward. She sought solace in the chaos of battle, finding brief moments of clarity amidst the clashing of swords and the roar of combat. Each victory, however small, was a step towards reclaiming her honor and proving her worth.<br /> <br /> In the uncivilized lands, Adreinne faced challenges unlike any she had encountered before. She navigated treacherous terrains, fought against fierce creatures, and brokered uneasy alliances with local tribes. Through it all, she remained steadfast, her resolve unbroken.<br /> <br /> As the years passed, tales of the Scarletwound spread far and wide. Whispers of her heroic deeds and unwavering determination reached even the most distant corners of the confederation. She became a symbol of resilience and strength, a living testament to the power of perseverance.<br /> <br /> Despite the hardships and losses, Adreinne's spirit never wavered. She continued to forge her path, driven by an unyielding desire to prove that she was more than her past, more than her mistakes. Her journey of self-discovery was an epic tale of heroism and loss, a story that would be remembered for generations to come.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Scarletwound, Adrienne]]</div>

With her hourglass figure and her notable, some might even say famous, ever-present, and unforgettable bustline, she commands attention wherever she goes. Regardless of her attire, there is always a small blade within reach to deal with troublemakers and gawkers; she is Romini, after all. Her holy amulet isn't visible, as the necklace vanishes from view at her cleavage and into the depths. Though she now speaks in a mix of Romini, Common, and Jechrain-ease, one thing has changed, and one thing hasn't: she learned about style, but her aim still sucks. You figure out which.<br /> <br /> Most notable are the tattoos adorning her body. They are mostly nautical, ranging from a mermaid's tail that stretches from her right shoulder to her right wrist, to an anchor above a giant sea turtle on her right hand. Along her left hand is a series of stars. There are rumors of more tattoos that remain unseen in public, adding to her mystique.<br /> <br /> In her hair, she wears an ornate, bejeweled, and possibly very old hairpin adorned with apple blossoms and golden wheat stalks, completing her distinctive look. This hairpin is not just an accessory but a symbol of her heritage and the stories she carries with her.<br /> <br /> Her presence is both captivating and intimidating. She moves with a confidence that comes from years of navigating the complexities of her world. Her eyes, sharp and observant, miss nothing, and her smile, though rare, can be both enchanting and dangerous. She is a force to be reckoned with, a woman who has carved out her own path and defies anyone who tries to stand in her way.<br /> <br /> Despite her rough exterior, there is a depth to her that few get to see. She carries the weight of her past with her, the lessons learned and the scars earned. Her loyalty to those she cares about is unwavering, and she will go to great lengths to protect them. She is a survivor, a warrior, and a beacon of strength in a world that often seeks to diminish her.<br /> <br /> <br /> 'More boobs than magic and she got a lot of magic'<br /> <br /> == Tattoos and Markings ==<br /> <br /> * Mermaid's Tail (Seakissed) - Right shoulder to her right forearm.<br /> * Anchor (Always find my way) - Top of her right hand<br /> * Sea Turtle (Defeated the Great Western Sea Turle) - Palm of her right hand<br /> * Series of stars (Never lost) - Top of her left hand<br /> * Yeraiah's Apple - Base of her neck<br /> * Plume Agate Design (Symbol of the Agate Caravan) - Right shoulder blade<br /> * Tattered Sails (First storm crossing) - Outter left thigh<br /> * Cannon firing/Two swords crossed (First combat at sea) - Lower left ribs<br /> * Two Songbirds (First time crossing from NW seas to the SW seas) - Lower back<br /> * An apple half wrapped in cloth (First birthing honored) - Right ribs<br /> * Two Ravens (First time crossing from SE seas to the NE seas) - Right thigh<br /> * Two Apples half wrapped in cloth (First twins birthing honored) - Right ribs below the other apple<br /> * Branded Rose (Adopted mark of the Burning Roses of Jechran) - Below hairline on her neck<br /> * A wagon wheel (Romini wagon symbolizing her rediscovered blood) - Sternum<br /> * A dragon's tail ('befriending her dragon') - Left shoulder to forearm<br /> * Balm of the Bees flower (Symbol of her wave name 'Marja Lulud') - From knee to toes on both legs<br /> * Charms of the gods and goddess (Romini charm bracelets) - High thigh, both thighs<br /> <br /> == Early Life ==<br /> The waters swelled, bubbles crashed into me, and my memories flooded my mind. Not little by little, but all at once, as if I had jumped into the baths and submerged myself completely. Overwhelming shock took over as memories surfaced, knowledge was gained, and the truth was revealed. Slowly, it all began to make sense.<br /> <br /> I was Dela Jarrom, and on my 14th naming day, I was to be wed to a young man from the Pugh family, a tribe around Malekia, to unite our two families. As the day approached, we departed in our wagons from Andarr, following the Blackwater to Crosstreams. I had never met this boy, nor did I wish to. To say I was upset would be an understatement—akin to the old saying: without wood, the fire would die. I had cords of wood within me, fueling my anger.<br /> <br /> Grandmother's constant denunciations of the Pughs as goat lovers, liars, and betrayers to our ways didn't help. Every waking second of my life was filled with her complaints. After days and days of threats to tie me up in the wagon, I began to formulate a plan. Soon, the Blackwater Fen would be under our wheels. We often stayed there, and I had made friends in the Fen. That's where I would make my move, and Rosella could marry the Pugh for all I cared. All she talked about for ten months straight was how she was old enough and who her suitor would be, not to mention bragging about the price.<br /> <br /> As we journeyed towards the Blackwater Fen, my mind raced with plans and possibilities. The thought of escaping the unwanted marriage gave me a sense of hope and determination. I knew the Fen well, and I had allies there who could help me. My heart pounded with both fear and excitement as the day drew nearer.<br /> <br /> The closer we got to the Fen, the more resolute I became. I couldn't allow myself to be forced into a life I didn't want, especially with someone I had never met. My grandmother's incessant criticisms only fueled my desire to break free from the expectations placed upon me.<br /> <br /> Finally, the day arrived when we entered the Blackwater Fen. The familiar sights and sounds of the Fen filled me with a sense of relief and anticipation. I knew this was my chance. With the help of my friends, I could escape and forge my own path. I could be free from the constraints of tradition and expectation.<br /> <br /> As I looked around the Fen, I felt a surge of determination. This was my moment to seize control of my destiny. I would not be wed to the Pugh boy. I would not be a pawn in my family's plans. I would carve out my own future, no matter the cost.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/ANJvp4B.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> On the second night of our journey through the Blackwater Fen, the order was shouted to keep going and push through the night. Rains were expected the next day, and if the marshes flooded into the forest, travel would become nearly impossible. I realized that if it did flood, my tracks would be covered up, making my escape less noticeable. The night wasn't moonless, but clouds began to roll in, covering the silvery glow of the moon. Soon there would be a narrow turn, and I could jump from the wagon without the one behind us seeing me. With the grace of a rock smashing into water, I jumped and rolled into a ditch, caked in dirt until everyone rolled past.<br /> <br /> I ran back to the spot where we would have stayed and then to a small village. That's where I knew Jenkins from—not his real name by any means, but that's what I'd called him since I met him five summers ago. I was swimming in the river, and he chased the boys off. From that moment, whenever we camped there, he would come with the others to greet and trade, but he came to see me. We spent time together, sharing our thoughts and dreams, and we wanted to explore the world together. Jenkins hid me that night, knowing the rains would come and buy us time. The next morning, as the sky was gray with storms, we slipped out of the village into the marshes on a little raft he had, making our way to the Blackwater.<br /> <br /> On the Blackwater, we had to pass through Crosstreams, which was problematic since my tribe was passing through there too. We started hopping barges, offering to labor on any that were going through Crosstreams without stopping. We found one barge that was heading to the Divalok River and then up to Stalwart on the Dentry. Jenkins worked as a spotter, and I helped with the cooking to pay our way. We encountered a little trouble near the docks and ended up swimming out to a passing boat named &quot;The Plump Fey,&quot; which was headed to Stalwart. They agreed to take us on. What a sight we were—a waterlogged Romini runaway and a wet satyr who could barely tread water.<br /> <br /> The ship was a trading vessel that ferried goods from the RiverFolk up the Dentry from Crosstreams to Stalwart. Jenkins assisted with the cargo, and I was given the task of helping the ship's mistress—not that kind of mistress, but the owner. She was making the journey to visit family. Jenkins learned the ways of ship life and its expectations, while Miss Redglide, the ship's owner, explained the nature of life to me. She was a devoted follower of Yeraiah and often spoke of inner strength, not by acting like a man but by using my mind and ways to be a free and independent woman.<br /> <br /> When we reached Stalwart, we departed the ship and were immediately greeted by a man with a book and quill who asked for our names. Jenkins, speaking rather rashly, said, &quot;I am Jenkins, loyal servant to Miss Esme' Grey,&quot; as he motioned to me. The man wrote our names down and even welcomed Miss Redglide back to Stalwart. Later, she paid us for our work and bought me two dresses and two corsets. I was already more developed than most adults and couldn't even see how she laced me shut, so she taught Jenkins the skills. Then, we parted ways as she went to meet her family.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/uoZsnZz.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> We sailed on many ships and performed many jobs, all the while learning the art of sailing, the ways of the salt, and its secrets. It was on the Grace of Andarr that I began to pay more attention to the navigator and his assistants. Although he already had two students, I kept watching and studying what they were doing. My attention to detail impressed the captain so much that he started teaching me. By the time my contract reached its term, he presented me with letters stating that I was an able-bodied 3rd class Navigator and a letter of recommendation for any sailing college or officer school if I chose to pursue further education.<br /> <br /> However, it wasn't until my days on the Roseriver that I learned the harsh realities of life at sea. The Roseriver was not open seas and good wind; it was where I picked up too many bad habits. Pride, drink, and carnal knowledge replaced all that Miss Redglide had taught me. I racked up conquests like other sailors when they hit port, and I had a system: one week at sea meant one lover bought and paid for. Sometimes I even sold myself to keep the party going. Those were dark days indeed. I think we left the Roseriver because the captain got a little too interested in me, or at least that's what Jenkins tells me—I don't remember it clearly.<br /> <br /> From there, I took my letters and logbook to the Navigational College of Dormiria, where I was accepted as a 3rd class Navigator. I attended classes, studied diligently, and passed my 2nd and 1st class tests. My work history as a 3rd class Navigator fulfilled the requirements for 2nd and 1st class ranks. Then I found myself left in port from The Dancing Crane somewhere in Torran Shada. It was too much fun, as I recall it now, because The Dancing Crane was a good ship to serve on. It was then that I joined the Sailmaker's Guild and sewed sails in various sail lofts to support us while we looked for a new ship to work on.<br /> <br /> I think we caught passage to Andarr on some rat-infested ship that didn't even have her name on her and got home. We checked in at the Merchant Sailor's Hall for a ship to crew on, but there was a wait, and I was at the bottom of the list with a red mark by my name. It was more of the same until Jenkins came looking for me. He finally found me in the backroom of some brothel in a bed with more bodies than it was meant to hold. He shouted and screamed that the ship was leaving and I had a job. Jenkins dressed me while angrily shouting that this wasn't me—that I wasn't supposed to be like this—and told everyone to leave. He rushed me to the docks and up the plank, but I sent him back to the brothel to retrieve my hairpins because I never left port without them. As he vanished into the crowded pier, I motioned for the gangplank to be raised, and the Captain ordered the ship to sea. He asked if I was ready to put my merchant ship knowledge to profitable use.<br /> <br /> Then a storm came, and the ship sank with all hands lost...<br /> <br /> == Ships Crewed/Nautical Occupations ==<br /> <br /> * The Dragonbone - Cook Assistant and Seamstress; Jenkins maintains paperwork of cargo hauling.

None of us had memories of how we ended up in the salt, and we were bewildered by our circumstances. Captain Pink had dressed us, we learned, and each of us was found with a coral ring on our fingers. What followed was the adventure of a lifetime, the kind of tale that even a bard or an entire Academy of Bards couldn't make up. We encountered a snaggletoothed woman, a Fairy Overlord, Captain Seethrough, Pink, Highfeather, the Monkey, and so many others. We stooped and fetched for them, earning their help in our quest.<br /> <br /> Through all that, in one perfect moment, as I stood on a beach looking out at the salt, everything hit me, and I remembered everything.<br /> <br /> I'm not sure if they all made it in the end. I know I almost didn't. Tannar, Geoff, Punchy, and Bette did. But there were no signs of Zily, Mol, Ted, Tabby, Manchild, or SeaSick at the clubhouse. I fear they are gone, washed away by the chaos, or maybe they just decided to start new lives. I'll pray that whichever path they found themselves on, they are happy at least.<br /> <br /> For me, I wandered into the chapel of Yeraiah and was greeted as Emse' Grey. I was welcomed warmly, as I was expected some time ago. I explained all that had occurred, and to my relief, I was believed. The Mother of All works in strange and mysterious ways. I dropped to my knees and thanked her, feeling truly loved. I've never cried as much or as hard as I did at that moment. Then, I found a card that had been given to me days ago. It read &quot;Mr. Jenkins - Loyal Manservant&quot; with a note on the back stating &quot;Romini camp, outside the city gates.&quot;<br /> <br /> The others are off, remembering and picking up where they left off. I told Bette to find me if she ever needed help. We were the last two on the beach. Now, I am sitting on the back of a wagon, listening to Jenkins ramble on about his search for me as I write. He keeps bringing up plans for future voyages upon the sea, mentioning strange lands I've even heard rumors of, such as Khanjar Kuro. Part of me wants to go, and part of me wants to buy a wagon and travel where I can't drown... again.<br /> <br /> The journey ahead is uncertain, but I am ready to face it with Jenkins by my side. Whether we venture to new lands or travel safely on land, I know that we will face whatever comes our way together.<br /> <br /> == Jechran ==<br /> <br /> The Silver Star was charted for Jechran, and it sailed there without the slightest problem. Upon its arrival and for several years afterward, Dela stayed in an abbey of Mortal of her Grace, which is dedicated to Yeraiah. The abbey was about a day's walk southeast from Myleah and within sight of the ocean. There, Dela gained control of herself and developed an understanding of who she truly was.<br /> <br /> At the abbey, Dela studied and learned firsthand the duties and tasks of a midwife. Over time, she became one of the teachers to the younger sisters, sharing her knowledge and expertise in midwifery. She became part of a group of midwives from the abbey who traveled the lands of Jechran, speaking on matters ranging from fertility to the birthing process. The midwives worked in pairs, and Dela was paired with Sister Milisarda, a local Half-Elf who discovered her calling around the same time Dela arrived at the abbey.<br /> <br /> Every spring and fall, the tandem would head out, traveling their routes across Jechran, visiting all the tribes, and checking in on matters that would require their aid when the time came. Dela and Milisarda's route took them along the coastline of Jechran from the abbey and then along the border with the Wastelands.<br /> <br /> As they traveled, Dela and Milisarda provided crucial support and guidance to the women they encountered. They offered practical advice on fertility, childbirth, and postnatal care, ensuring that each community had the knowledge and resources needed to care for their mothers and children. Their visits were often met with gratitude and relief, as they brought not only medical expertise but also comfort and reassurance.<br /> <br /> In addition to their midwifery duties, Dela and Milisarda forged strong bonds with the communities they served. They listened to the stories and struggles of the women they met, offering a compassionate ear and words of encouragement. Through their work, they fostered a sense of unity and support among the tribes, helping to strengthen the bonds between them.<br /> <br /> Dela's time at the abbey and her travels with Milisarda allowed her to grow both personally and professionally. She developed a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment in her role as a midwife and teacher. The experiences she gained and the relationships she built shaped her into a confident and capable woman, dedicated to the well-being of others.<br /> <br /> Throughout her journey, Dela remained committed to the teachings of Yeraiah and the principles of compassion, wisdom, and strength. Her faith and determination guided her in all she did, and she became a respected and beloved figure in the communities she served.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/mCfnVGI.png<br /> |}<br /> When demons attacked Dre'Ana's High Temple, Dela took it upon herself to teach her sisters at the abbey combat magic to the best of her ability. Though she wasn't very confident in this form of magic, and the stories from the Club of Damned attested to her struggles, she was determined to help. To her own surprise, she didn't wound or kill a single sister during her lessons. While the combat magic was never needed to defend the abbey or her sisters, Dela found joy in teaching and helping others.<br /> <br /> As her time at the abbey lengthened, she was offered and accepted the role of assistant to Mother Gabliania, earning the rank of Precentor. In this role, she would lead prayers and prepare all rituals. With this new responsibility came the expectation that Dela would also clean up her appearance. She abandoned her wild hair colors and untidy hair, learning to maintain her appearance and make herself presentable in various situations. To preserve her Romini heritage, she dusted her hair with pink powder as a reminder to all (and herself) that she was Romini.<br /> <br /> Dela became increasingly concerned when she noticed that the birthrate in the south was at zero for an entire month. Rumors spread, and soon they heard from the south that Dagath had died. Babies began to be born left and right. Later, when they heard of his return, it is rumored that Dela exclaimed &quot;No shit&quot; to the messenger, slinging a towel covered in blood and afterbirth at him. It was then that she started considering a life change and heading south.<br /> <br /> She knew that Bette was trying to get color-coded by the Mage Trust to learn more. Dela began to think that perhaps she should do the same, to better herself in the ways of Yeraiah, even if it meant postponing her training as a priestess. One day, while staying in Myleah, waiting for the corsetmaker to finish creating a new reinforced corset for her impressive bust and hourglass form, she made up her mind. She informed the abbey that she would depart south in the coming days with their blessings.<br /> <br /> The blessings were given, and Mother Gabliania even made travel arrangements for her student and friend. Dela carried letters of her service and letters for Samantha at the Mikona Temple, which she did not allow Mister Jenkins to carry. For only the second time in her life, Dela was a passenger on a sailing ship and not part of the crew.<br /> <br /> As she sailed south, Dela felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. She was leaving behind the familiarity of the abbey and embarking on a new journey. The ship's gentle sway and the salt air reminded her of her past adventures, but this time, her purpose was different. She was determined to deepen her understanding of Yeraiah's teachings and enhance her skills to better serve those in need.<br /> <br /> The journey south was a time of reflection and anticipation. Dela thought about the sisters she had left behind, the lessons she had learned, and the new experiences that awaited her. She felt a strong sense of purpose and a renewed commitment to her faith. As the ship approached its destination, she prepared herself for the next chapter of her life, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.<br /> <br /> == The Ordeal: Wagons Ahoy! ==<br /> Ordeal (noun) &lt;br&gt;<br /> or·deal /ôrˈdēl/&lt;br&gt;Definition:<br /> #A painful or horrific experience, especially a protracted one.<br /> #A test of guilt or innocence by the subjection of the accused to severe pain, survival of which was taken as divine proof of innocence. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oBzJMBO.png<br /> |}<br /> It all started out like any other day at the temple, but this day, Dela had a different assignment. She was to travel to a keep in Northern M'Chek to meet some people and set out with them. That was all she knew, as they would explain their journey once she departed with them. Upon meeting these people, she realized that she had met crews of drunken sailors who were more sober and clear-minded than this group. However, her Cousin Fabello was with them, and he assured her that they were more than they appeared to be. Considering she had survived the Club of the Damned, she agreed to travel with them, believing this should be easy.<br /> <br /> As they traveled to a far-off secluded mountain concave of Vorin, she learned the reason for their journey and her presence. Back in the earliest of times, when Fegall had obtained his mantles, he spoke to other immortals of a need for their help to create stones with a fraction of their own power for use at a later time that he foresaw. The understanding was that these stones could only be held by someone of that faith. A stone was created by Lady Yeraiah, and Dela's purpose was revealed.<br /> <br /> When they arrived at the Vorin concave, it was already under demonic attack from those seeking the stone created by Lady Yeraiah. The attacks were unending, with wave after wave assaulting the library stronghold, trying to overwhelm its defenders. In hopes of diverting the attacks, they departed the mountainous stronghold, but the demons razed it anyway.<br /> <br /> Once back in M'Chek, Dela was strongly urged to take the stone and protect it with her life, avoiding places with large populations and cities. During this discussion, Mr. Jenkins took to studying a man named Finn and his overcoat. As they parted company, Dela spoke to Cousin Fabello about acquiring a wagon and a horse. Her plan was to embrace her birthright and take to the trails like a proper Romini, reaching the Blackwater. Its mysterious and forgotten ways gave her a chance to stay hidden from those seeking what she had been entrusted with.<br /> <br /> The next morning, a wagon was where Cousin Fabello said it would be, and a group of Romini were working hard to make it travel-worthy for the long journey ahead. By midday, a pair of stout horses were led in, followed by a group of men carrying rigging and harnesses. That evening, Dela and Mr. Jenkins were putting the team through their paces and learning to control the wagon since it had been a lifetime since either of them had traveled this way. Before sunrise, they set out to meet up with a caravan traveling to Toran Shadra and then to make their way north to the Blackwater Fenn.<br /> <br /> During her ordeal, Dela learned more about herself and her purpose than most people ever do. She adopted her niece, who became her daughter. She married, and her husband left to seek out the one known as Plague, who was behind the demons seeking the stone. Plague was using waves and sea creatures to attack the land. Dela discovered secrets of her beliefs and faith, saw places that are only mentioned in historical footnotes or long forgotten by all but a sage or two. She slipped into a deep depression, believing the love of her life had perished at Plague's hand.<br /> <br /> Seeking solace, Dela sought out the seers of the Romini in hopes of learning the ways of fate and changing it for others. Learned the ways of crystals to see into the future and the past. Learned of the cards and their secrets they reveal; including being given her own deck by an old seer. She discovered that when worn, the stone spoke to her, though she refused to admit whose voice it could be. It warned her when she would be needed to save a mother or child during childbirth and tried to help her through her depression, comforting her with the belief that her love was not lost but always with her.<br /> <br /> Once they crossed into Orcish lands, Dela's depression deepened even more. Little is known of their travels through the lands of Dubant and Brekon, but it is known that they made it into the lands of the Seven Cities and reunited with the caravan of her birth. There, Dela spent years traveling with the caravan, serving Yeraiah, and helping women in need and with childbirth rites. She visits abbeys or temples to Yeraiah, and word of her travels and the safety of what she protected reaches Myleah and Mikona, always sparking rumors of her return to them or possibly to an orchard in Toran Shadra.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ''Dela's Ordeal: Wagons Ahoy, is an emotive Plethora-approved adventure that is a side story to the much larger Red Star storyline and comes to life via her journal. Based mostly in Toran Sharda and in The Seven Cities around the Blackwater River and Blackwater Fenn.''<br /> == Travel Map and Charts ==<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/8uWmHmUl.png<br /> |}<br /> After the events on the Roseriver, Dela, and Jenkins departed for better employment. They embarked on a different kind of journey. They traveled to the port city of [[Dormiria]]. Where Dela enrolled in the Navigational College there. She presented her logbooks and letters from the captain of The Grace and from The Prize of Andarr to gain entry. Was here she truly flourished for the first time. Never having any formal education and was able to conduct on par with others enrolled that had such backgrounds. She also for a time cleaned up her bad habits of drinking too much and indulging in pleasure. Here she studied coastal navigation and open sea navigation via celestial means. Orienteering via landmarks and maps. Not to mention understanding the skies to determine the weather and understanding the clouds. How to properly chart courses and log them for records. As part of her training to become a navigator 1st class, cartography was a required skill. A skill she excelled in her final year at the college.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> During this time, Mister Jenkins worked for the Dormiria Cargo Consortium. A guild of cargo masters based out of a warehouse near the Northern Refuge, who specialized in loading heavy loads into long haul ships. This warehouse is also where Dela and Mister Jenkins resided for most of their time in the city. As they tended to avoid the Caravan District on the chance of running into relatives of Dela.<br /> <br /> She created this map based on her travels up to that time from maps within the college library and from other navigators she met while studying there. This map charts the sum of her cartography work at the college and is the map she carries to this day in her map case; denoting her travels by ship, wagon, and other means. <br /> <br /> The interior lands are copied from several atlases on campus and from stories told by adventurers in taverns or that booked passage on ships she crewed on. It is by no means as accurate as the coastal map is. Dela is rarely inland for long except her youth spent between the Blackwater and Dentry Rivers and her time in Jechran.<br /> <br /> <br /> *The Dancing Crane route changes its color due to the captain's death off the eastern coast of T'Nanshi. He died from natural causes and the first mate taking over command.&lt;br&gt;<br /> *There are not charts denoting the journey of the Baskerville or the Scarlet Harlot.

As he walked along the side of the path, they struck up a conversation and quickly became friends. Over the next few years, the satyr followed the caravan whenever it passed through the area, spending all day and night with Dela. He shared stories about the Blackwater River and the Blackwater Fenn, protecting her from boys spying on her as she bathed, playing games, and taking little trips into the Fenn together.<br /> <br /> When Dela learned she was to be wed against her will, it was the satyr who helped her escape to a new life. He dubbed himself Mister Jenkins, loyal manservant to Miss Esme Grey, and thus began the adventures of Esme Grey and her loyal manservant.<br /> <br /> Mister Jenkins remained by her side until she tricked him and shipped out without him. During that voyage, the ship sank, and she became Sea Kissed. Jenkins spent many years trying to track down his friend, searching the coast for tales of her and the ship. When he heard the ship had gone down, he refused to believe she was gone and doubled down on his search. He scoured the western coast and, when no new information was found, moved to the eastern coast.<br /> <br /> By chance or luck, Jenkins heard a rumor about lost souls, the Sea Kissed, or better known as the Club of the Damned, in Mikona. He discovered that Esme wasn't called Esme and that she and the others didn't know who they were. Jenkins left his calling card at the bar they called their clubhouse and went to the Temple of Yeraiah, knowing that she always prayed there before shipping out. The temple hadn't seen her but had been expecting her for some time. They urged him to wait.<br /> <br /> Soon enough, her ordeal was completed, and her memories returned. Mister Jenkins was reunited with his Esme and began planning new adventures, including getting her drunk and signing her up to crew on another ship bound for Jechran. When she returned to the south, he was at her side.<br /> <br /> These days, Jenkins has taken to wearing a coat like his 'spirit guide,' a fellow named Finn. He claims coats have the power to command respect and the ability to lead others. Jenkins continues to be a loyal and steadfast companion to Esme, ready to embark on whatever adventures lie ahead. <br /> <br /> <br /> In all their time together. What she knows of him could only fill a scrap of paper:<br /> * She does not know his name in fey but knows it's not Mister Jenkins.<br /> * She knows he follows Mishlekh.<br /> * She knows he loves nymphs and hates fake nymphs.<br /> * She knows (won't admit) he looks after her like a father figure.<br /> * She knows when called up, he an outright bastard with that dagger.<br /> <br /> === Georgiana Matilda Jarrom ===<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/57L5854.png<br /> |}Georgiana Matilda Jarrom, affectionately known as Tillie, is the adopted daughter of Dela. Originally from the Stone Spokes Caravan, Tillie's life took a tragic turn a few years before meeting Dela. Her caravan was attacked while crossing the Hammer Rift, trying to make up for lost time due to weather delays. The exact nature of the attack remains a mystery; some believe it was giants, trolls, or orcs, but no one is completely sure. Tillie was one of the few survivors of this horrifying event.<br /> <br /> She was discovered by a search party from the Twisted Vine Caravan, led by Dela's brother-in-law and husband of Viviana (Via) Delilah Jax. Tillie is Via's niece and, therefore, also Dela's niece. Not accepting the responsibility of looking after a blood relative would bring shame upon the Jarroms and upset the spirits.<br /> <br /> Via, showing that she had learned from the best about being selfish, plotted with Mister Jenkins to leave Tillie with Dela to teach her a lesson in growing up and because Tillie was a lot like Dela. Instantly, Tillie proved her worth. She helped Dela with dressing and reconnected her with her Romini roots. Not only that, but she also assisted everyone in the caravan, engaging in work-for-work trades and helping with various tasks.<br /> <br /> Tillie's negotiating skills shone brightly when they traded with merchants waiting to cross into M'Chek at the main Eridanian River ferry. She haggled prices for fabric, questioned the freshness of fruit and greens, and even negotiated prices for supplies that Dela and Mister Jenkins hadn't realized they needed. Her prowess left everyone impressed, and they asked Dela if she was proud of Tillie's efforts and contributions. At the same time, they inquired if Tillie was proud of Dela for taking her in and helping her.<br /> <br /> Tillie's presence brought a sense of renewed purpose and responsibility to Dela's life. She not only proved to be an invaluable asset to the caravan but also helped Dela grow and mature in ways she hadn't anticipated. The bond between Dela and Tillie deepened, and they became a formidable team, each supporting and uplifting the other.<br /> <br /> Over time, Tillie's resourcefulness and determination continued to impress those around her. She became known for her quick thinking, sharp negotiation skills, and unwavering loyalty to her new family. Her story of survival and resilience inspired others, and she became a beloved figure within the caravan.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A child cares for a childless mother&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A mother cares for a motherless child&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A mother and child are together''&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> And just like that, the fates revealed by Via's cards had played out exactly as they were meant to. In a traditional Romini ritual, Tillie accepted Dela as her mother, and Dela embraced Tillie not only as her daughter but as her own blood. With this acceptance, she was renamed Georgiana Matilda Jarrom, a combination of her birth parents' names while keeping Matilda. Thus, she became Tillie to all within the caravan and blood but Georgiana to the outsiders they encountered.<br /> <br /> From that day forward, Dela and Tillie were rarely apart as they traveled. Tillie adapted quickly to the Romini way of life, and her bond with Dela grew stronger with each passing day. She proved to be an invaluable helper, assisting Dela with various tasks and chores, and she brought a newfound sense of joy and purpose to their lives.<br /> <br /> When the caravan was settled in camp and their chores were done, Tillie would run off to play with the other girls in the caravan. She reveled in the freedom and safety of her new life, exploring the world around her with a sense of wonder and adventure. Her laughter and enthusiasm were infectious, bringing smiles to the faces of everyone around her.<br /> <br /> The caravan community embraced Tillie as one of their own, and she formed close bonds with the other children. Together, they played games, shared stories, and learned the ways of their people. Tillie's resourcefulness and quick thinking often impressed the elders, and she was seen as a promising young member of the community.<br /> <br /> Dela watched with pride as Tillie thrived in her new environment. The bond between them deepened, and they became a formidable team, supporting and uplifting each other. Dela's love and care provided Tillie with the stability and security she needed, while Tillie's presence brought a sense of renewed purpose to Dela's life.<br /> <br /> As they traveled from place to place, Dela and Tillie encountered various challenges and adventures. Together, they navigated the complexities of their nomadic lifestyle, always looking out for one another. Their journey was filled with moments of joy, learning, and growth, and they faced each obstacle with determination and resilience.<br /> <br /> == Footnotes ==<br /> Dela's Ordeal can be found in [https://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=159&amp;t=135728| Character Journals]<br /> <br /> Theme Song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHzOOQfhPFg| No Doubt - Just A Girl]<br /> <br /> Dela's Portrait is custom and located with the others via [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&amp;t=137026| Portrait Change Over Process] <br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Dela]]<br /> [[Category:MChekPCs|Dela]]</div>

With her hourglass figure and her notable, some might even say famous, ever-present, and unforgettable bustline, she commands attention wherever she goes. Regardless of her attire, there is always a small blade within reach to deal with troublemakers and gawkers; she is Romini, after all. Her holy amulet isn't visible, as the necklace vanishes from view at her cleavage and into the depths. Though she now speaks in a mix of Romini, Common, and Jechrain-ease, one thing has changed, and one thing hasn't: she learned about style, but her aim still sucks. You figure out which.<br /> <br /> Most notable are the tattoos adorning her body. They are mostly nautical, ranging from a mermaid's tail that stretches from her right shoulder to her right wrist, to an anchor above a giant sea turtle on her right hand. Along her left hand is a series of stars. There are rumors of more tattoos that remain unseen in public, adding to her mystique.<br /> <br /> In her hair, she wears an ornate, bejeweled, and possibly very old hairpin adorned with apple blossoms and golden wheat stalks, completing her distinctive look. This hairpin is not just an accessory but a symbol of her heritage and the stories she carries with her.<br /> <br /> Her presence is both captivating and intimidating. She moves with a confidence that comes from years of navigating the complexities of her world. Her eyes, sharp and observant, miss nothing, and her smile, though rare, can be both enchanting and dangerous. She is a force to be reckoned with, a woman who has carved out her own path and defies anyone who tries to stand in her way.<br /> <br /> Despite her rough exterior, there is a depth to her that few get to see. She carries the weight of her past with her, the lessons learned and the scars earned. Her loyalty to those she cares about is unwavering, and she will go to great lengths to protect them. She is a survivor, a warrior, and a beacon of strength in a world that often seeks to diminish her.<br /> <br /> <br /> 'More boobs than magic and she got a lot of magic'<br /> <br /> == Tattoos and Markings ==<br /> <br /> * Mermaid's Tail (Seakissed) - Right shoulder to her right forearm.<br /> * Anchor (Always find my way) - Top of her right hand<br /> * Sea Turtle (Defeated the Great Western Sea Turle) - Palm of her right hand<br /> * Series of stars (Never lost) - Top of her left hand<br /> * Yeraiah's Apple - Base of her neck<br /> * Plume Agate Design (Symbol of the Agate Caravan) - Right shoulder blade<br /> * Tattered Sails (First storm crossing) - Outter left thigh<br /> * Cannon firing/Two swords crossed (First combat at sea) - Lower left ribs<br /> * Two Songbirds (First time crossing from NW seas to the SW seas) - Lower back<br /> * An apple half wrapped in cloth (First birthing honored) - Right ribs<br /> * Two Ravens (First time crossing from SE seas to the NE seas) - Right thigh<br /> * Two Apples half wrapped in cloth (First twins birthing honored) - Right ribs below the other apple<br /> * Branded Rose (Adopted mark of the Burning Roses of Jechran) - Below hairline on her neck<br /> * A wagon wheel (Romini wagon symbolizing her rediscovered blood) - Sternum<br /> * A dragon's tail ('befriending her dragon') - Left shoulder to forearm<br /> * Balm of the Bees flower (Symbol of her wave name 'Marja Lulud') - From knee to toes on both legs<br /> * Charms of the gods and goddess (Romini charm bracelets) - High thigh, both thighs<br /> <br /> == Early Life ==<br /> The waters swelled, bubbles crashed into me, and my memories flooded my mind. Not little by little, but all at once, as if I had jumped into the baths and submerged myself completely. Overwhelming shock took over as memories surfaced, knowledge was gained, and the truth was revealed. Slowly, it all began to make sense.<br /> <br /> I was Dela Jarrom, and on my 14th naming day, I was to be wed to a young man from the Pugh family, a tribe around Malekia, to unite our two families. As the day approached, we departed in our wagons from Andarr, following the Blackwater to Crosstreams. I had never met this boy, nor did I wish to. To say I was upset would be an understatement—akin to the old saying: without wood, the fire would die. I had cords of wood within me, fueling my anger.<br /> <br /> Grandmother's constant denunciations of the Pughs as goat lovers, liars, and betrayers to our ways didn't help. Every waking second of my life was filled with her complaints. After days and days of threats to tie me up in the wagon, I began to formulate a plan. Soon, the Blackwater Fen would be under our wheels. We often stayed there, and I had made friends in the Fen. That's where I would make my move, and Rosella could marry the Pugh for all I cared. All she talked about for ten months straight was how she was old enough and who her suitor would be, not to mention bragging about the price.<br /> <br /> As we journeyed towards the Blackwater Fen, my mind raced with plans and possibilities. The thought of escaping the unwanted marriage gave me a sense of hope and determination. I knew the Fen well, and I had allies there who could help me. My heart pounded with both fear and excitement as the day drew nearer.<br /> <br /> The closer we got to the Fen, the more resolute I became. I couldn't allow myself to be forced into a life I didn't want, especially with someone I had never met. My grandmother's incessant criticisms only fueled my desire to break free from the expectations placed upon me.<br /> <br /> Finally, the day arrived when we entered the Blackwater Fen. The familiar sights and sounds of the Fen filled me with a sense of relief and anticipation. I knew this was my chance. With the help of my friends, I could escape and forge my own path. I could be free from the constraints of tradition and expectation.<br /> <br /> As I looked around the Fen, I felt a surge of determination. This was my moment to seize control of my destiny. I would not be wed to the Pugh boy. I would not be a pawn in my family's plans. I would carve out my own future, no matter the cost.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/ANJvp4B.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> On the second night of our journey through the Blackwater Fen, the order was shouted to keep going and push through the night. Rains were expected the next day, and if the marshes flooded into the forest, travel would become nearly impossible. I realized that if it did flood, my tracks would be covered up, making my escape less noticeable. The night wasn't moonless, but clouds began to roll in, covering the silvery glow of the moon. Soon there would be a narrow turn, and I could jump from the wagon without the one behind us seeing me. With the grace of a rock smashing into water, I jumped and rolled into a ditch, caked in dirt until everyone rolled past.<br /> <br /> I ran back to the spot where we would have stayed and then to a small village. That's where I knew Jenkins from—not his real name by any means, but that's what I'd called him since I met him five summers ago. I was swimming in the river, and he chased the boys off. From that moment, whenever we camped there, he would come with the others to greet and trade, but he came to see me. We spent time together, sharing our thoughts and dreams, and we wanted to explore the world together. Jenkins hid me that night, knowing the rains would come and buy us time. The next morning, as the sky was gray with storms, we slipped out of the village into the marshes on a little raft he had, making our way to the Blackwater.<br /> <br /> On the Blackwater, we had to pass through Crosstreams, which was problematic since my tribe was passing through there too. We started hopping barges, offering to labor on any that were going through Crosstreams without stopping. We found one barge that was heading to the Divalok River and then up to Stalwart on the Dentry. Jenkins worked as a spotter, and I helped with the cooking to pay our way. We encountered a little trouble near the docks and ended up swimming out to a passing boat named &quot;The Plump Fey,&quot; which was headed to Stalwart. They agreed to take us on. What a sight we were—a waterlogged Romini runaway and a wet satyr who could barely tread water.<br /> <br /> The ship was a trading vessel that ferried goods from the RiverFolk up the Dentry from Crosstreams to Stalwart. Jenkins assisted with the cargo, and I was given the task of helping the ship's mistress—not that kind of mistress, but the owner. She was making the journey to visit family. Jenkins learned the ways of ship life and its expectations, while Miss Redglide, the ship's owner, explained the nature of life to me. She was a devoted follower of Yeraiah and often spoke of inner strength, not by acting like a man but by using my mind and ways to be a free and independent woman.<br /> <br /> When we reached Stalwart, we departed the ship and were immediately greeted by a man with a book and quill who asked for our names. Jenkins, speaking rather rashly, said, &quot;I am Jenkins, loyal servant to Miss Esme' Grey,&quot; as he motioned to me. The man wrote our names down and even welcomed Miss Redglide back to Stalwart. Later, she paid us for our work and bought me two dresses and two corsets. I was already more developed than most adults and couldn't even see how she laced me shut, so she taught Jenkins the skills. Then, we parted ways as she went to meet her family.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/uoZsnZz.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> We sailed on many ships and performed many jobs, all the while learning the art of sailing, the ways of the salt, and its secrets. It was on the Grace of Andarr that I began to pay more attention to the navigator and his assistants. Although he already had two students, I kept watching and studying what they were doing. My attention to detail impressed the captain so much that he started teaching me. By the time my contract reached its term, he presented me with letters stating that I was an able-bodied 3rd class Navigator and a letter of recommendation for any sailing college or officer school if I chose to pursue further education.<br /> <br /> However, it wasn't until my days on the Roseriver that I learned the harsh realities of life at sea. The Roseriver was not open seas and good wind; it was where I picked up too many bad habits. Pride, drink, and carnal knowledge replaced all that Miss Redglide had taught me. I racked up conquests like other sailors when they hit port, and I had a system: one week at sea meant one lover bought and paid for. Sometimes I even sold myself to keep the party going. Those were dark days indeed. I think we left the Roseriver because the captain got a little too interested in me, or at least that's what Jenkins tells me—I don't remember it clearly.<br /> <br /> From there, I took my letters and logbook to the Navigational College of Dormiria, where I was accepted as a 3rd class Navigator. I attended classes, studied diligently, and passed my 2nd and 1st class tests. My work history as a 3rd class Navigator fulfilled the requirements for 2nd and 1st class ranks. Then I found myself left in port from The Dancing Crane somewhere in Torran Shada. It was too much fun, as I recall it now, because The Dancing Crane was a good ship to serve on. It was then that I joined the Sailmaker's Guild and sewed sails in various sail lofts to support us while we looked for a new ship to work on.<br /> <br /> I think we caught passage to Andarr on some rat-infested ship that didn't even have her name on her and got home. We checked in at the Merchant Sailor's Hall for a ship to crew on, but there was a wait, and I was at the bottom of the list with a red mark by my name. It was more of the same until Jenkins came looking for me. He finally found me in the backroom of some brothel in a bed with more bodies than it was meant to hold. He shouted and screamed that the ship was leaving and I had a job. Jenkins dressed me while angrily shouting that this wasn't me—that I wasn't supposed to be like this—and told everyone to leave. He rushed me to the docks and up the plank, but I sent him back to the brothel to retrieve my hairpins because I never left port without them. As he vanished into the crowded pier, I motioned for the gangplank to be raised, and the Captain ordered the ship to sea. He asked if I was ready to put my merchant ship knowledge to profitable use.<br /> <br /> Then a storm came, and the ship sank with all hands lost...<br /> <br /> == Ships Crewed/Nautical Occupations ==<br /> <br /> * The Dragonbone - Cook Assistant and Seamstress; Jenkins maintains paperwork of cargo hauling.

None of us had memories of how we ended up in the salt, and we were bewildered by our circumstances. Captain Pink had dressed us, we learned, and each of us was found with a coral ring on our fingers. What followed was the adventure of a lifetime, the kind of tale that even a bard or an entire Academy of Bards couldn't make up. We encountered a snaggletoothed woman, a Fairy Overlord, Captain Seethrough, Pink, Highfeather, the Monkey, and so many others. We stooped and fetched for them, earning their help in our quest.<br /> <br /> Through all that, in one perfect moment, as I stood on a beach looking out at the salt, everything hit me, and I remembered everything.<br /> <br /> I'm not sure if they all made it in the end. I know I almost didn't. Tannar, Geoff, Punchy, and Bette did. But there were no signs of Zily, Mol, Ted, Tabby, Manchild, or SeaSick at the clubhouse. I fear they are gone, washed away by the chaos, or maybe they just decided to start new lives. I'll pray that whichever path they found themselves on, they are happy at least.<br /> <br /> For me, I wandered into the chapel of Yeraiah and was greeted as Emse' Grey. I was welcomed warmly, as I was expected some time ago. I explained all that had occurred, and to my relief, I was believed. The Mother of All works in strange and mysterious ways. I dropped to my knees and thanked her, feeling truly loved. I've never cried as much or as hard as I did at that moment. Then, I found a card that had been given to me days ago. It read &quot;Mr. Jenkins - Loyal Manservant&quot; with a note on the back stating &quot;Romini camp, outside the city gates.&quot;<br /> <br /> The others are off, remembering and picking up where they left off. I told Bette to find me if she ever needed help. We were the last two on the beach. Now, I am sitting on the back of a wagon, listening to Jenkins ramble on about his search for me as I write. He keeps bringing up plans for future voyages upon the sea, mentioning strange lands I've even heard rumors of, such as Khanjar Kuro. Part of me wants to go, and part of me wants to buy a wagon and travel where I can't drown... again.<br /> <br /> The journey ahead is uncertain, but I am ready to face it with Jenkins by my side. Whether we venture to new lands or travel safely on land, I know that we will face whatever comes our way together.<br /> <br /> == Jechran ==<br /> <br /> The Silver Star was charted for Jechran, and it sailed there without the slightest problem. Upon its arrival and for several years afterward, Dela stayed in an abbey of Mortal of her Grace, which is dedicated to Yeraiah. The abbey was about a day's walk southeast from Myleah and within sight of the ocean. There, Dela gained control of herself and developed an understanding of who she truly was.<br /> <br /> At the abbey, Dela studied and learned firsthand the duties and tasks of a midwife. Over time, she became one of the teachers to the younger sisters, sharing her knowledge and expertise in midwifery. She became part of a group of midwives from the abbey who traveled the lands of Jechran, speaking on matters ranging from fertility to the birthing process. The midwives worked in pairs, and Dela was paired with Sister Milisarda, a local Half-Elf who discovered her calling around the same time Dela arrived at the abbey.<br /> <br /> Every spring and fall, the tandem would head out, traveling their routes across Jechran, visiting all the tribes, and checking in on matters that would require their aid when the time came. Dela and Milisarda's route took them along the coastline of Jechran from the abbey and then along the border with the Wastelands.<br /> <br /> As they traveled, Dela and Milisarda provided crucial support and guidance to the women they encountered. They offered practical advice on fertility, childbirth, and postnatal care, ensuring that each community had the knowledge and resources needed to care for their mothers and children. Their visits were often met with gratitude and relief, as they brought not only medical expertise but also comfort and reassurance.<br /> <br /> In addition to their midwifery duties, Dela and Milisarda forged strong bonds with the communities they served. They listened to the stories and struggles of the women they met, offering a compassionate ear and words of encouragement. Through their work, they fostered a sense of unity and support among the tribes, helping to strengthen the bonds between them.<br /> <br /> Dela's time at the abbey and her travels with Milisarda allowed her to grow both personally and professionally. She developed a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment in her role as a midwife and teacher. The experiences she gained and the relationships she built shaped her into a confident and capable woman, dedicated to the well-being of others.<br /> <br /> Throughout her journey, Dela remained committed to the teachings of Yeraiah and the principles of compassion, wisdom, and strength. Her faith and determination guided her in all she did, and she became a respected and beloved figure in the communities she served.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/mCfnVGI.png<br /> |}<br /> When demons attacked Dre'Ana's High Temple, Dela took it upon herself to teach her sisters at the abbey combat magic to the best of her ability. Though she wasn't very confident in this form of magic, and the stories from the Club of Damned attested to her struggles, she was determined to help. To her own surprise, she didn't wound or kill a single sister during her lessons. While the combat magic was never needed to defend the abbey or her sisters, Dela found joy in teaching and helping others.<br /> <br /> As her time at the abbey lengthened, she was offered and accepted the role of assistant to Mother Gabliania, earning the rank of Precentor. In this role, she would lead prayers and prepare all rituals. With this new responsibility came the expectation that Dela would also clean up her appearance. She abandoned her wild hair colors and untidy hair, learning to maintain her appearance and make herself presentable in various situations. To preserve her Romini heritage, she dusted her hair with pink powder as a reminder to all (and herself) that she was Romini.<br /> <br /> Dela became increasingly concerned when she noticed that the birthrate in the south was at zero for an entire month. Rumors spread, and soon they heard from the south that Dagath had died. Babies began to be born left and right. Later, when they heard of his return, it is rumored that Dela exclaimed &quot;No shit&quot; to the messenger, slinging a towel covered in blood and afterbirth at him. It was then that she started considering a life change and heading south.<br /> <br /> She knew that Bette was trying to get color-coded by the Mage Trust to learn more. Dela began to think that perhaps she should do the same, to better herself in the ways of Yeraiah, even if it meant postponing her training as a priestess. One day, while staying in Myleah, waiting for the corsetmaker to finish creating a new reinforced corset for her impressive bust and hourglass form, she made up her mind. She informed the abbey that she would depart south in the coming days with their blessings.<br /> <br /> The blessings were given, and Mother Gabliania even made travel arrangements for her student and friend. Dela carried letters of her service and letters for Samantha at the Mikona Temple, which she did not allow Mister Jenkins to carry. For only the second time in her life, Dela was a passenger on a sailing ship and not part of the crew.<br /> <br /> As she sailed south, Dela felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. She was leaving behind the familiarity of the abbey and embarking on a new journey. The ship's gentle sway and the salt air reminded her of her past adventures, but this time, her purpose was different. She was determined to deepen her understanding of Yeraiah's teachings and enhance her skills to better serve those in need.<br /> <br /> The journey south was a time of reflection and anticipation. Dela thought about the sisters she had left behind, the lessons she had learned, and the new experiences that awaited her. She felt a strong sense of purpose and a renewed commitment to her faith. As the ship approached its destination, she prepared herself for the next chapter of her life, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.<br /> <br /> == The Ordeal: Wagons Ahoy! ==<br /> Ordeal (noun) &lt;br&gt;<br /> or·deal /ôrˈdēl/&lt;br&gt;Definition:<br /> #A painful or horrific experience, especially a protracted one.<br /> #A test of guilt or innocence by the subjection of the accused to severe pain, survival of which was taken as divine proof of innocence. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oBzJMBO.png<br /> |}<br /> It all started out like any other day at the temple, but this day, Dela had a different assignment. She was to travel to a keep in Northern M'Chek to meet some people and set out with them. That was all she knew, as they would explain their journey once she departed with them. Upon meeting these people, she realized that she had met crews of drunken sailors who were more sober and clear-minded than this group. However, her Cousin Fabello was with them, and he assured her that they were more than they appeared to be. Considering she had survived the Club of the Damned, she agreed to travel with them, believing this should be easy.<br /> <br /> As they traveled to a far-off secluded mountain concave of Vorin, she learned the reason for their journey and her presence. Back in the earliest of times, when Fegall had obtained his mantles, he spoke to other immortals of a need for their help to create stones with a fraction of their own power for use at a later time that he foresaw. The understanding was that these stones could only be held by someone of that faith. A stone was created by Lady Yeraiah, and Dela's purpose was revealed.<br /> <br /> When they arrived at the Vorin concave, it was already under demonic attack from those seeking the stone created by Lady Yeraiah. The attacks were unending, with wave after wave assaulting the library stronghold, trying to overwhelm its defenders. In hopes of diverting the attacks, they departed the mountainous stronghold, but the demons razed it anyway.<br /> <br /> Once back in M'Chek, Dela was strongly urged to take the stone and protect it with her life, avoiding places with large populations and cities. During this discussion, Mr. Jenkins took to studying a man named Finn and his overcoat. As they parted company, Dela spoke to Cousin Fabello about acquiring a wagon and a horse. Her plan was to embrace her birthright and take to the trails like a proper Romini, reaching the Blackwater. Its mysterious and forgotten ways gave her a chance to stay hidden from those seeking what she had been entrusted with.<br /> <br /> The next morning, a wagon was where Cousin Fabello said it would be, and a group of Romini were working hard to make it travel-worthy for the long journey ahead. By midday, a pair of stout horses were led in, followed by a group of men carrying rigging and harnesses. That evening, Dela and Mr. Jenkins were putting the team through their paces and learning to control the wagon since it had been a lifetime since either of them had traveled this way. Before sunrise, they set out to meet up with a caravan traveling to Toran Shadra and then to make their way north to the Blackwater Fenn.<br /> <br /> During her ordeal, Dela learned more about herself and her purpose than most people ever do. She adopted her niece, who became her daughter. She married, and her husband left to seek out the one known as Plague, who was behind the demons seeking the stone. Plague was using waves and sea creatures to attack the land. Dela discovered secrets of her beliefs and faith, saw places that are only mentioned in historical footnotes or long forgotten by all but a sage or two. She slipped into a deep depression, believing the love of her life had perished at Plague's hand.<br /> <br /> Seeking solace, Dela sought out the seers of the Romini in hopes of learning the ways of fate and changing it for others. Learned the ways of crystals to see into the future and the past. Learned of the cards and their secrets they reveal; including being given her own deck by an old seer. She discovered that when worn, the stone spoke to her, though she refused to admit whose voice it could be. It warned her when she would be needed to save a mother or child during childbirth and tried to help her through her depression, comforting her with the belief that her love was not lost but always with her.<br /> <br /> Once they crossed into Orcish lands, Dela's depression deepened even more. Little is known of their travels through the lands of Dubant and Brekon, but it is known that they made it into the lands of the Seven Cities and reunited with the caravan of her birth. There, Dela spent years traveling with the caravan, serving Yeraiah, and helping women in need and with childbirth rites. She visited abbeys or temples to Yeraiah, and word of her travels and the safety of what she protected reached Myleah and Mikona, always sparking rumors of her return.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ''Dela's Ordeal: Wagons Ahoy, is an emotive Plethora-approved adventure that is a side story to the much larger Red Star storyline and comes to life via her journal. Based mostly in Toran Sharda and in The Seven Cities around the Blackwater River and Blackwater Fenn.''<br /> == Travel Map and Charts ==<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/8uWmHmUl.png<br /> |}<br /> After the events on the Roseriver, Dela, and Jenkins departed for better employment. They embarked on a different kind of journey. They traveled to the port city of [[Dormiria]]. Where Dela enrolled in the Navigational College there. She presented her logbooks and letters from the captain of The Grace and from The Prize of Andarr to gain entry. Was here she truly flourished for the first time. Never having any formal education and was able to conduct on par with others enrolled that had such backgrounds. She also for a time cleaned up her bad habits of drinking too much and indulging in pleasure. Here she studied coastal navigation and open sea navigation via celestial means. Orienteering via landmarks and maps. Not to mention understanding the skies to determine the weather and understanding the clouds. How to properly chart courses and log them for records. As part of her training to become a navigator 1st class, cartography was a required skill. A skill she excelled in her final year at the college.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> During this time, Mister Jenkins worked for the Dormiria Cargo Consortium. A guild of cargo masters based out of a warehouse near the Northern Refuge, who specialized in loading heavy loads into long haul ships. This warehouse is also where Dela and Mister Jenkins resided for most of their time in the city. As they tended to avoid the Caravan District on the chance of running into relatives of Dela.<br /> <br /> She created this map based on her travels up to that time from maps within the college library and from other navigators she met while studying there. This map charts the sum of her cartography work at the college and is the map she carries to this day in her map case; denoting her travels by ship, wagon, and other means. <br /> <br /> The interior lands are copied from several atlases on campus and from stories told by adventurers in taverns or that booked passage on ships she crewed on. It is by no means as accurate as the coastal map is. Dela is rarely inland for long except her youth spent between the Blackwater and Dentry Rivers and her time in Jechran.<br /> <br /> <br /> *The Dancing Crane route changes its color due to the captain's death off the eastern coast of T'Nanshi. He died from natural causes and the first mate taking over command.&lt;br&gt;<br /> *There are not charts denoting the journey of the Baskerville or the Scarlet Harlot. Due to Dela not having her sextant with her as this takes place during Dela's Ordeal: Club of the Damned.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> *The wagon is the charting course for Dela's Ordeal: Wagon's Ahoy&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> [https://i.imgur.com/8uWmHmU.png Full Size Map'' here.]&lt;br&gt;<br /> (''The map itself was made at https://inkarnate.com/ using the Avlis Atlas as a guide'')<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> ''' The Family she wasn't born to but earned '''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Mr. Jenkins - Her loyal friend and manservant (Age Unknown)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Georgiana Matilda (Tillie) Jarrom - Adopted Daughter (Age 10)&lt;br&gt;<br /> '''The Jarrom's last seen when Dela was 14''':&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Rye Jarrom - Father (Age 43)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Kizzy Jarrom (Wicks)- Mother (Age 38)&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Adamu Jarrom - Brother (Age 20 and married to Kostana)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Brishan Jarrom - Brother (Age 17 and married to Violca)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Besnik Jarrom - Brother (age 10)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Nicu Jarrom - Brother (Age 3)&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Corauni Jarrom- Sister (Age 22 and married to Tas Akehurst)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Orchili Jarrom - Sister (Age 16 and married to Patrin Beven)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cojini Jarron - Sister (Age 12)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Vai Jarrom - Sister (Age 6)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Esmerelda Wicks - Grandmother&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Though there are others both along the banks of the Blackwater Fenn and spread across the lands. Some she met and some she only heard stories of.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Mister Jenkins ===<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/dFa3AR9.png<br /> |}One day, while traveling along the trail between the Blackwater River and the Blackwater Fenn, Dela encountered a satyr who began following her wagon. As he walked along the side of the path, they struck up a conversation and quickly became friends. Over the next few years, the satyr followed the caravan whenever it passed through the area, spending all day and night with Dela. He shared stories about the Blackwater River and the Blackwater Fenn, protecting her from boys spying on her as she bathed, playing games, and taking little trips into the Fenn together.<br /> <br /> When Dela learned she was to be wed against her will, it was the satyr who helped her escape to a new life. He dubbed himself Mister Jenkins, loyal manservant to Miss Esme Grey, and thus began the adventures of Esme Grey and her loyal manservant.<br /> <br /> Mister Jenkins remained by her side until she tricked him and shipped out without him. During that voyage, the ship sank, and she became Sea Kissed. Jenkins spent many years trying to track down his friend, searching the coast for tales of her and the ship. When he heard the ship had gone down, he refused to believe she was gone and doubled down on his search. He scoured the western coast and, when no new information was found, moved to the eastern coast.<br /> <br /> By chance or luck, Jenkins heard a rumor about lost souls, the Sea Kissed, or better known as the Club of the Damned, in Mikona. He discovered that Esme wasn't called Esme and that she and the others didn't know who they were. Jenkins left his calling card at the bar they called their clubhouse and went to the Temple of Yeraiah, knowing that she always prayed there before shipping out. The temple hadn't seen her but had been expecting her for some time. They urged him to wait.<br /> <br /> Soon enough, her ordeal was completed, and her memories returned. Mister Jenkins was reunited with his Esme and began planning new adventures, including getting her drunk and signing her up to crew on another ship bound for Jechran. When she returned to the south, he was at her side.<br /> <br /> These days, Jenkins has taken to wearing a coat like his 'spirit guide,' a fellow named Finn. He claims coats have the power to command respect and the ability to lead others. Jenkins continues to be a loyal and steadfast companion to Esme, ready to embark on whatever adventures lie ahead. <br /> <br /> <br /> In all their time together. What she knows of him could only fill a scrap of paper:<br /> * She does not know his name in fey but knows it's not Mister Jenkins.<br /> * She knows he follows Mishlekh.<br /> * She knows he loves nymphs and hates fake nymphs.<br /> * She knows (won't admit) he looks after her like a father figure.<br /> * She knows when called up, he an outright bastard with that dagger.<br /> <br /> === Georgiana Matilda Jarrom ===<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/57L5854.png<br /> |}Georgiana Matilda Jarrom, affectionately known as Tillie, is the adopted daughter of Dela. Originally from the Stone Spokes Caravan, Tillie's life took a tragic turn a few years before meeting Dela. Her caravan was attacked while crossing the Hammer Rift, trying to make up for lost time due to weather delays. The exact nature of the attack remains a mystery; some believe it was giants, trolls, or orcs, but no one is completely sure. Tillie was one of the few survivors of this horrifying event.<br /> <br /> She was discovered by a search party from the Twisted Vine Caravan, led by Dela's brother-in-law and husband of Viviana (Via) Delilah Jax. Tillie is Via's niece and, therefore, also Dela's niece. Not accepting the responsibility of looking after a blood relative would bring shame upon the Jarroms and upset the spirits.<br /> <br /> Via, showing that she had learned from the best about being selfish, plotted with Mister Jenkins to leave Tillie with Dela to teach her a lesson in growing up and because Tillie was a lot like Dela. Instantly, Tillie proved her worth. She helped Dela with dressing and reconnected her with her Romini roots. Not only that, but she also assisted everyone in the caravan, engaging in work-for-work trades and helping with various tasks.<br /> <br /> Tillie's negotiating skills shone brightly when they traded with merchants waiting to cross into M'Chek at the main Eridanian River ferry. She haggled prices for fabric, questioned the freshness of fruit and greens, and even negotiated prices for supplies that Dela and Mister Jenkins hadn't realized they needed. Her prowess left everyone impressed, and they asked Dela if she was proud of Tillie's efforts and contributions. At the same time, they inquired if Tillie was proud of Dela for taking her in and helping her.<br /> <br /> Tillie's presence brought a sense of renewed purpose and responsibility to Dela's life. She not only proved to be an invaluable asset to the caravan but also helped Dela grow and mature in ways she hadn't anticipated. The bond between Dela and Tillie deepened, and they became a formidable team, each supporting and uplifting the other.<br /> <br /> Over time, Tillie's resourcefulness and determination continued to impress those around her. She became known for her quick thinking, sharp negotiation skills, and unwavering loyalty to her new family. Her story of survival and resilience inspired others, and she became a beloved figure within the caravan.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A child cares for a childless mother&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A mother cares for a motherless child&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A mother and child are together''&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> And just like that, the fates revealed by Via's cards had played out exactly as they were meant to. In a traditional Romini ritual, Tillie accepted Dela as her mother, and Dela embraced Tillie not only as her daughter but as her own blood. With this acceptance, she was renamed Georgiana Matilda Jarrom, a combination of her birth parents' names while keeping Matilda. Thus, she became Tillie to all within the caravan and blood but Georgiana to the outsiders they encountered.<br /> <br /> From that day forward, Dela and Tillie were rarely apart as they traveled. Tillie adapted quickly to the Romini way of life, and her bond with Dela grew stronger with each passing day. She proved to be an invaluable helper, assisting Dela with various tasks and chores, and she brought a newfound sense of joy and purpose to their lives.<br /> <br /> When the caravan was settled in camp and their chores were done, Tillie would run off to play with the other girls in the caravan. She reveled in the freedom and safety of her new life, exploring the world around her with a sense of wonder and adventure. Her laughter and enthusiasm were infectious, bringing smiles to the faces of everyone around her.<br /> <br /> The caravan community embraced Tillie as one of their own, and she formed close bonds with the other children. Together, they played games, shared stories, and learned the ways of their people. Tillie's resourcefulness and quick thinking often impressed the elders, and she was seen as a promising young member of the community.<br /> <br /> Dela watched with pride as Tillie thrived in her new environment. The bond between them deepened, and they became a formidable team, supporting and uplifting each other. Dela's love and care provided Tillie with the stability and security she needed, while Tillie's presence brought a sense of renewed purpose to Dela's life.<br /> <br /> As they traveled from place to place, Dela and Tillie encountered various challenges and adventures. Together, they navigated the complexities of their nomadic lifestyle, always looking out for one another. Their journey was filled with moments of joy, learning, and growth, and they faced each obstacle with determination and resilience.<br /> <br /> == Footnotes ==<br /> Dela's Ordeal can be found in [https://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=159&amp;t=135728| Character Journals]<br /> <br /> Theme Song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHzOOQfhPFg| No Doubt - Just A Girl]<br /> <br /> Dela's Portrait is custom and located with the others via [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&amp;t=137026| Portrait Change Over Process] <br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Dela]]<br /> [[Category:MChekPCs|Dela]]</div>

With her hourglass figure and her notable, some might even say famous, ever-present, and unforgettable bustline, she commands attention wherever she goes. Regardless of her attire, there is always a small blade within reach to deal with troublemakers and gawkers; she is Romini, after all. Her holy amulet isn't visible, as the necklace vanishes from view at her cleavage and into the depths. Though she now speaks in a mix of Romini, Common, and Jechrain-ease, one thing has changed, and one thing hasn't: she learned about style, but her aim still sucks. You figure out which.<br /> <br /> Most notable are the tattoos adorning her body. They are mostly nautical, ranging from a mermaid's tail that stretches from her right shoulder to her right wrist, to an anchor above a giant sea turtle on her right hand. Along her left hand is a series of stars. There are rumors of more tattoos that remain unseen in public, adding to her mystique.<br /> <br /> In her hair, she wears an ornate, bejeweled, and possibly very old hairpin adorned with apple blossoms and golden wheat stalks, completing her distinctive look. This hairpin is not just an accessory but a symbol of her heritage and the stories she carries with her.<br /> <br /> Her presence is both captivating and intimidating. She moves with a confidence that comes from years of navigating the complexities of her world. Her eyes, sharp and observant, miss nothing, and her smile, though rare, can be both enchanting and dangerous.

Not little by little, but all at once, as if I had jumped into the baths and submerged myself completely. Overwhelming shock took over as memories surfaced, knowledge was gained, and the truth was revealed. Slowly, it all began to make sense.<br /> <br /> I was Dela Jarrom, and on my 14th naming day, I was to be wed to a young man from the Pugh family, a tribe around Malekia, to unite our two families. As the day approached, we departed in our wagons from Andarr, following the Blackwater to Crosstreams. I had never met this boy, nor did I wish to. To say I was upset would be an understatement—akin to the old saying: without wood, the fire would die. I had cords of wood within me, fueling my anger.<br /> <br /> Grandmother's constant denunciations of the Pughs as goat lovers, liars, and betrayers to our ways didn't help. Every waking second of my life was filled with her complaints. After days and days of threats to tie me up in the wagon, I began to formulate a plan. Soon, the Blackwater Fen would be under our wheels. We often stayed there, and I had made friends in the Fen. That's where I would make my move, and Rosella could marry the Pugh for all I cared. All she talked about for ten months straight was how she was old enough and who her suitor would be, not to mention bragging about the price.<br /> <br /> As we journeyed towards the Blackwater Fen, my mind raced with plans and possibilities. The thought of escaping the unwanted marriage gave me a sense of hope and determination. I knew the Fen well, and I had allies there who could help me. My heart pounded with both fear and excitement as the day drew nearer.<br /> <br /> The closer we got to the Fen, the more resolute I became. I couldn't allow myself to be forced into a life I didn't want, especially with someone I had never met. My grandmother's incessant criticisms only fueled my desire to break free from the expectations placed upon me.<br /> <br /> Finally, the day arrived when we entered the Blackwater Fen. The familiar sights and sounds of the Fen filled me with a sense of relief and anticipation. I knew this was my chance. With the help of my friends, I could escape and forge my own path. I could be free from the constraints of tradition and expectation.<br /> <br /> As I looked around the Fen, I felt a surge of determination. This was my moment to seize control of my destiny. I would not be wed to the Pugh boy. I would not be a pawn in my family's plans. I would carve out my own future, no matter the cost.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/ANJvp4B.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> On the second night of our journey through the Blackwater Fen, the order was shouted to keep going and push through the night. Rains were expected the next day, and if the marshes flooded into the forest, travel would become nearly impossible. I realized that if it did flood, my tracks would be covered up, making my escape less noticeable. The night wasn't moonless, but clouds began to roll in, covering the silvery glow of the moon. Soon there would be a narrow turn, and I could jump from the wagon without the one behind us seeing me. With the grace of a rock smashing into water, I jumped and rolled into a ditch, caked in dirt until everyone rolled past.<br /> <br /> I ran back to the spot where we would have stayed and then to a small village. That's where I knew Jenkins from—not his real name by any means, but that's what I'd called him since I met him five summers ago. I was swimming in the river, and he chased the boys off. From that moment, whenever we camped there, he would come with the others to greet and trade, but he came to see me. We spent time together, sharing our thoughts and dreams, and we wanted to explore the world together. Jenkins hid me that night, knowing the rains would come and buy us time. The next morning, as the sky was gray with storms, we slipped out of the village into the marshes on a little raft he had, making our way to the Blackwater.<br /> <br /> On the Blackwater, we had to pass through Crosstreams, which was problematic since my tribe was passing through there too. We started hopping barges, offering to labor on any that were going through Crosstreams without stopping. We found one barge that was heading to the Divalok River and then up to Stalwart on the Dentry. Jenkins worked as a spotter, and I helped with the cooking to pay our way. We encountered a little trouble near the docks and ended up swimming out to a passing boat named &quot;The Plump Fey,&quot; which was headed to Stalwart. They agreed to take us on. What a sight we were—a waterlogged Romini runaway and a wet satyr who could barely tread water.<br /> <br /> The ship was a trading vessel that ferried goods from the RiverFolk up the Dentry from Crosstreams to Stalwart. Jenkins assisted with the cargo, and I was given the task of helping the ship's mistress—not that kind of mistress, but the owner. She was making the journey to visit family. Jenkins learned the ways of ship life and its expectations, while Miss Redglide, the ship's owner, explained the nature of life to me. She was a devoted follower of Yeraiah and often spoke of inner strength, not by acting like a man but by using my mind and ways to be a free and independent woman.<br /> <br /> When we reached Stalwart, we departed the ship and were immediately greeted by a man with a book and quill who asked for our names. Jenkins, speaking rather rashly, said, &quot;I am Jenkins, loyal servant to Miss Esme' Grey,&quot; as he motioned to me. The man wrote our names down and even welcomed Miss Redglide back to Stalwart. Later, she paid us for our work and bought me two dresses and two corsets. I was already more developed than most adults and couldn't even see how she laced me shut, so she taught Jenkins the skills. Then, we parted ways as she went to meet her family.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/uoZsnZz.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> We sailed on many ships and performed many jobs, all the while learning the art of sailing, the ways of the salt, and its secrets. It was on the Grace of Andarr that I began to pay more attention to the navigator and his assistants. Although he already had two students, I kept watching and studying what they were doing. My attention to detail impressed the captain so much that he started teaching me. By the time my contract reached its term, he presented me with letters stating that I was an able-bodied 3rd class Navigator and a letter of recommendation for any sailing college or officer school if I chose to pursue further education.<br /> <br /> However, it wasn't until my days on the Roseriver that I learned the harsh realities of life at sea. The Roseriver was not open seas and good wind; it was where I picked up too many bad habits. Pride, drink, and carnal knowledge replaced all that Miss Redglide had taught me. I racked up conquests like other sailors when they hit port, and I had a system: one week at sea meant one lover bought and paid for. Sometimes I even sold myself to keep the party going. Those were dark days indeed. I think we left the Roseriver because the captain got a little too interested in me, or at least that's what Jenkins tells me—I don't remember it clearly.<br /> <br /> From there, I took my letters and logbook to the Navigational College of Dormiria, where I was accepted as a 3rd class Navigator. I attended classes, studied diligently, and passed my 2nd and 1st class tests. My work history as a 3rd class Navigator fulfilled the requirements for 2nd and 1st class ranks. Then I found myself left in port from The Dancing Crane somewhere in Torran Shada. It was too much fun, as I recall it now, because The Dancing Crane was a good ship to serve on. It was then that I joined the Sailmaker's Guild and sewed sails in various sail lofts to support us while we looked for a new ship to work on.<br /> <br /> I think we caught passage to Andarr on some rat-infested ship that didn't even have her name on her and got home. We checked in at the Merchant Sailor's Hall for a ship to crew on, but there was a wait, and I was at the bottom of the list with a red mark by my name. It was more of the same until Jenkins came looking for me. He finally found me in the backroom of some brothel in a bed with more bodies than it was meant to hold. He shouted and screamed that the ship was leaving and I had a job. Jenkins dressed me while angrily shouting that this wasn't me—that I wasn't supposed to be like this—and told everyone to leave. He rushed me to the docks and up the plank, but I sent him back to the brothel to retrieve my hairpins because I never left port without them. As he vanished into the crowded pier, I motioned for the gangplank to be raised, and the Captain ordered the ship to sea. He asked if I was ready to put my merchant ship knowledge to profitable use.<br /> <br /> Then a storm came, and the ship sank with all hands lost...<br /> <br /> == Ships Crewed/Nautical Occupations ==<br /> <br /> * The Dragonbone - Cook Assistant and Seamstress; Jenkins maintains paperwork of cargo hauling.

None of us had memories of how we ended up in the salt, and we were bewildered by our circumstances. Captain Pink had dressed us, we learned, and each of us was found with a coral ring on our fingers. What followed was the adventure of a lifetime, the kind of tale that even a bard or an entire Academy of Bards couldn't make up. We encountered a snaggletoothed woman, a Fairy Overlord, Captain Seethrough, Pink, Highfeather, the Monkey, and so many others. We stooped and fetched for them, earning their help in our quest.<br /> <br /> Through all that, in one perfect moment, as I stood on a beach looking out at the salt, everything hit me, and I remembered everything.<br /> <br /> I'm not sure if they all made it in the end. I know I almost didn't. Tannar, Geoff, Punchy, and Bette did. But there were no signs of Zily, Mol, Ted, Tabby, Manchild, or SeaSick at the clubhouse. I fear they are gone, washed away by the chaos, or maybe they just decided to start new lives. I'll pray that whichever path they found themselves on, they are happy at least.<br /> <br /> For me, I wandered into the chapel of Yeraiah and was greeted as Emse' Grey. I was welcomed warmly, as I was expected some time ago. I explained all that had occurred, and to my relief, I was believed. The Mother of All works in strange and mysterious ways. I dropped to my knees and thanked her, feeling truly loved. I've never cried as much or as hard as I did at that moment. Then, I found a card that had been given to me days ago. It read &quot;Mr. Jenkins - Loyal Manservant&quot; with a note on the back stating &quot;Romini camp, outside the city gates.&quot;<br /> <br /> The others are off, remembering and picking up where they left off. I told Bette to find me if she ever needed help. We were the last two on the beach. Now, I am sitting on the back of a wagon, listening to Jenkins ramble on about his search for me as I write. He keeps bringing up plans for future voyages upon the sea, mentioning strange lands I've even heard rumors of, such as Khanjar Kuro. Part of me wants to go, and part of me wants to buy a wagon and travel where I can't drown... again.<br /> <br /> The journey ahead is uncertain, but I am ready to face it with Jenkins by my side. Whether we venture to new lands or travel safely on land, I know that we will face whatever comes our way together.<br /> <br /> == Jechran ==<br /> <br /> The Silver Star was charted for Jechran, and it sailed there without the slightest problem. Upon its arrival and for several years afterward, Dela stayed in an abbey of Mortal of her Grace, which is dedicated to Yeraiah. The abbey was about a day's walk southeast from Myleah and within sight of the ocean. There, Dela gained control of herself and developed an understanding of who she truly was.<br /> <br /> At the abbey, Dela studied and learned firsthand the duties and tasks of a midwife. Over time, she became one of the teachers to the younger sisters, sharing her knowledge and expertise in midwifery. She became part of a group of midwives from the abbey who traveled the lands of Jechran, speaking on matters ranging from fertility to the birthing process. The midwives worked in pairs, and Dela was paired with Sister Milisarda, a local Half-Elf who discovered her calling around the same time Dela arrived at the abbey.<br /> <br /> Every spring and fall, the tandem would head out, traveling their routes across Jechran, visiting all the tribes, and checking in on matters that would require their aid when the time came. Dela and Milisarda's route took them along the coastline of Jechran from the abbey and then along the border with the Wastelands.<br /> <br /> As they traveled, Dela and Milisarda provided crucial support and guidance to the women they encountered. They offered practical advice on fertility, childbirth, and postnatal care, ensuring that each community had the knowledge and resources needed to care for their mothers and children. Their visits were often met with gratitude and relief, as they brought not only medical expertise but also comfort and reassurance.<br /> <br /> In addition to their midwifery duties, Dela and Milisarda forged strong bonds with the communities they served. They listened to the stories and struggles of the women they met, offering a compassionate ear and words of encouragement. Through their work, they fostered a sense of unity and support among the tribes, helping to strengthen the bonds between them.<br /> <br /> Dela's time at the abbey and her travels with Milisarda allowed her to grow both personally and professionally. She developed a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment in her role as a midwife and teacher. The experiences she gained and the relationships she built shaped her into a confident and capable woman, dedicated to the well-being of others.<br /> <br /> Throughout her journey, Dela remained committed to the teachings of Yeraiah and the principles of compassion, wisdom, and strength. Her faith and determination guided her in all she did, and she became a respected and beloved figure in the communities she served.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/mCfnVGI.png<br /> |}<br /> When demons attacked Dre'Ana's High Temple, Dela took it upon herself to teach her sisters at the abbey combat magic to the best of her ability. Though she wasn't very confident in this form of magic, and the stories from the Club of Damned attested to her struggles, she was determined to help. To her own surprise, she didn't wound or kill a single sister during her lessons. While the combat magic was never needed to defend the abbey or her sisters, Dela found joy in teaching and helping others.<br /> <br /> As her time at the abbey lengthened, she was offered and accepted the role of assistant to Mother Gabliania, earning the rank of Precentor. In this role, she would lead prayers and prepare all rituals. With this new responsibility came the expectation that Dela would also clean up her appearance. She abandoned her wild hair colors and untidy hair, learning to maintain her appearance and make herself presentable in various situations. To preserve her Romini heritage, she dusted her hair with pink powder as a reminder to all (and herself) that she was Romini.<br /> <br /> Dela became increasingly concerned when she noticed that the birthrate in the south was at zero for an entire month. Rumors spread, and soon they heard from the south that Dagath had died. Babies began to be born left and right. Later, when they heard of his return, it is rumored that Dela exclaimed &quot;No shit&quot; to the messenger, slinging a towel covered in blood and afterbirth at him. It was then that she started considering a life change and heading south.<br /> <br /> She knew that Bette was trying to get color-coded by the Mage Trust to learn more. Dela began to think that perhaps she should do the same, to better herself in the ways of Yeraiah, even if it meant postponing her training as a priestess. One day, while staying in Myleah, waiting for the corsetmaker to finish creating a new reinforced corset for her impressive bust and hourglass form, she made up her mind. She informed the abbey that she would depart south in the coming days with their blessings.<br /> <br /> The blessings were given, and Mother Gabliania even made travel arrangements for her student and friend. Dela carried letters of her service and letters for Samantha at the Mikona Temple, which she did not allow Mister Jenkins to carry. For only the second time in her life, Dela was a passenger on a sailing ship and not part of the crew.<br /> <br /> As she sailed south, Dela felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. She was leaving behind the familiarity of the abbey and embarking on a new journey. The ship's gentle sway and the salt air reminded her of her past adventures, but this time, her purpose was different. She was determined to deepen her understanding of Yeraiah's teachings and enhance her skills to better serve those in need.<br /> <br /> The journey south was a time of reflection and anticipation. Dela thought about the sisters she had left behind, the lessons she had learned, and the new experiences that awaited her. She felt a strong sense of purpose and a renewed commitment to her faith. As the ship approached its destination, she prepared herself for the next chapter of her life, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.<br /> <br /> == The Ordeal: Wagons Ahoy! ==<br /> Ordeal (noun) &lt;br&gt;<br /> or·deal /ôrˈdēl/&lt;br&gt;Definition:<br /> #A painful or horrific experience, especially a protracted one.<br /> #A test of guilt or innocence by the subjection of the accused to severe pain, survival of which was taken as divine proof of innocence. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oBzJMBO.png<br /> |}<br /> It all started out like any other day at the temple, but this day, Dela had a different assignment. She was to travel to a keep in Northern M'Chek to meet some people and set out with them. That was all she knew, as they would explain their journey once she departed with them. Upon meeting these people, she realized that she had met crews of drunken sailors who were more sober and clear-minded than this group. However, her Cousin Fabello was with them, and he assured her that they were more than they appeared to be. Considering she had survived the Club of the Damned, she agreed to travel with them, believing this should be easy.<br /> <br /> As they traveled to a far-off secluded mountain concave of Vorin, she learned the reason for their journey and her presence. Back in the earliest of times, when Fegall had obtained his mantles, he spoke to other immortals of a need for their help to create stones with a fraction of their own power for use at a later time that he foresaw. The understanding was that these stones could only be held by someone of that faith. A stone was created by Lady Yeraiah, and Dela's purpose was revealed.<br /> <br /> When they arrived at the Vorin concave, it was already under demonic attack from those seeking the stone created by Lady Yeraiah. The attacks were unending, with wave after wave assaulting the library stronghold, trying to overwhelm its defenders. In hopes of diverting the attacks, they departed the mountainous stronghold, but the demons razed it anyway.<br /> <br /> Once back in M'Chek, Dela was strongly urged to take the stone and protect it with her life, avoiding places with large populations and cities. During this discussion, Mr. Jenkins took to studying a man named Finn and his overcoat. As they parted company, Dela spoke to Cousin Fabello about acquiring a wagon and a horse. Her plan was to embrace her birthright and take to the trails like a proper Romini, reaching the Blackwater. Its mysterious and forgotten ways gave her a chance to stay hidden from those seeking what she had been entrusted with.<br /> <br /> The next morning, a wagon was where Cousin Fabello said it would be, and a group of Romini were working hard to make it travel-worthy for the long journey ahead. By midday, a pair of stout horses were led in, followed by a group of men carrying rigging and harnesses. That evening, Dela and Mr. Jenkins were putting the team through their paces and learning to control the wagon since it had been a lifetime since either of them had traveled this way. Before sunrise, they set out to meet up with a caravan traveling to Toran Shadra and then to make their way north to the Blackwater Fenn.<br /> <br /> During her ordeal, Dela learned more about herself and her purpose than most people ever do. She adopted her niece, who became her daughter. She married, and her husband left to seek out the one known as Plague, who was behind the demons seeking the stone. Plague was using waves and sea creatures to attack the land. Dela discovered secrets of her beliefs and faith, saw places that are only mentioned in historical footnotes or long forgotten by all but a sage or two. She slipped into a deep depression, believing the love of her life had perished at Plague's hand.<br /> <br /> Seeking solace, Dela sought out the seers of the Romini in hopes of learning the ways of fate and changing it for others. Learned the ways of crystals to see into the future and the past. Learned of the cards and their secrets they reveal; including being given her own deck by an old seer. She discovered that when worn, the stone spoke to her, though she refused to admit whose voice it could be. It warned her when she would be needed to save a mother or child during childbirth and tried to help her through her depression, comforting her with the belief that her love was not lost but always with her.<br /> <br /> Once they crossed into Orcish lands, Dela's depression deepened even more. Little is known of their travels through the lands of Dubant and Brekon, but it is known that they made it into the lands of the Seven Cities and reunited with the caravan of her birth. There, Dela spent years traveling with the caravan, serving Yeraiah, and helping women in need and with childbirth rites. She visited abbeys or temples to Yeraiah, and word of her travels and the safety of what she protected reached Myleah and Mikona, always sparking rumors of her return.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ''Dela's Ordeal: Wagons Ahoy, is an emotive Plethora-approved adventure that is a side story to the much larger Red Star storyline and comes to life via her journal. Based mostly in Toran Sharda and in The Seven Cities around the Blackwater River and Blackwater Fenn.''<br /> == Travel Map and Charts ==<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/8uWmHmUl.png<br /> |}<br /> After the events on the Roseriver, Dela, and Jenkins departed for better employment. They embarked on a different kind of journey. They traveled to the port city of [[Dormiria]]. Where Dela enrolled in the Navigational College there. She presented her logbooks and letters from the captain of The Grace and from The Prize of Andarr to gain entry. Was here she truly flourished for the first time. Never having any formal education and was able to conduct on par with others enrolled that had such backgrounds. She also for a time cleaned up her bad habits of drinking too much and indulging in pleasure. Here she studied coastal navigation and open sea navigation via celestial means. Orienteering via landmarks and maps. Not to mention understanding the skies to determine the weather and understanding the clouds. How to properly chart courses and log them for records. As part of her training to become a navigator 1st class, cartography was a required skill. A skill she excelled in her final year at the college.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> During this time, Mister Jenkins worked for the Dormiria Cargo Consortium. A guild of cargo masters based out of a warehouse near the Northern Refuge, who specialized in loading heavy loads into long haul ships. This warehouse is also where Dela and Mister Jenkins resided for most of their time in the city. As they tended to avoid the Caravan District on the chance of running into relatives of Dela.<br /> <br /> She created this map based on her travels up to that time from maps within the college library and from other navigators she met while studying there. This map charts the sum of her cartography work at the college and is the map she carries to this day in her map case; denoting her travels by ship, wagon, and other means. <br /> <br /> The interior lands are copied from several atlases on campus and from stories told by adventurers in taverns or that booked passage on ships she crewed on. It is by no means as accurate as the coastal map is. Dela is rarely inland for long except her youth spent between the Blackwater and Dentry Rivers and her time in Jechran.<br /> *The Dancing Crane route changes its color due to the captain's death off the eastern coast of T'Nanshi. He died from natural causes and the first mate taking over command.&lt;br&gt;<br /> *There are not charts denoting the journey of the Baskerville or the Scarlet Harlot.

As he walked along the side of the path, they struck up a conversation and quickly became friends. Over the next few years, the satyr followed the caravan whenever it passed through the area, spending all day and night with Dela. He shared stories about the Blackwater River and the Blackwater Fenn, protecting her from boys spying on her as she bathed, playing games, and taking little trips into the Fenn together.<br /> <br /> When Dela learned she was to be wed against her will, it was the satyr who helped her escape to a new life. He dubbed himself Mister Jenkins, loyal manservant to Miss Esme Grey, and thus began the adventures of Esme Grey and her loyal manservant.<br /> <br /> Mister Jenkins remained by her side until she tricked him and shipped out without him. During that voyage, the ship sank, and she became Sea Kissed. Jenkins spent many years trying to track down his friend, searching the coast for tales of her and the ship. When he heard the ship had gone down, he refused to believe she was gone and doubled down on his search. He scoured the western coast and, when no new information was found, moved to the eastern coast.<br /> <br /> By chance or luck, Jenkins heard a rumor about lost souls, the Sea Kissed, or better known as the Club of the Damned, in Mikona. He discovered that Esme wasn't called Esme and that she and the others didn't know who they were. Jenkins left his calling card at the bar they called their clubhouse and went to the Temple of Yeraiah, knowing that she always prayed there before shipping out. The temple hadn't seen her but had been expecting her for some time. They urged him to wait.<br /> <br /> Soon enough, her ordeal was completed, and her memories returned. Mister Jenkins was reunited with his Esme and began planning new adventures, including getting her drunk and signing her up to crew on another ship bound for Jechran. When she returned to the south, he was at her side.<br /> <br /> These days, Jenkins has taken to wearing a coat like his 'spirit guide,' a fellow named Finn. He claims coats have the power to command respect and the ability to lead others. Jenkins continues to be a loyal and steadfast companion to Esme, ready to embark on whatever adventures lie ahead. <br /> <br /> <br /> In all their time together. What she knows of him could only fill a scrap of paper:<br /> * She does not know his name in fey but knows it's not Mister Jenkins.<br /> * She knows he follows Mishlekh.<br /> * She knows he loves nymphs and hates fake nymphs.<br /> * She knows (won't admit) he looks after her like a father figure.<br /> * She knows when called up, he an outright bastard with that dagger.<br /> <br /> === Georgiana Matilda Jarrom ===<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/57L5854.png<br /> |}Georgiana Matilda Jarrom, affectionately known as Tillie, is the adopted daughter of Dela. Originally from the Stone Spokes Caravan, Tillie's life took a tragic turn a few years before meeting Dela. Her caravan was attacked while crossing the Hammer Rift, trying to make up for lost time due to weather delays. The exact nature of the attack remains a mystery; some believe it was giants, trolls, or orcs, but no one is completely sure. Tillie was one of the few survivors of this horrifying event.<br /> <br /> She was discovered by a search party from the Twisted Vine Caravan, led by Dela's brother-in-law and husband of Viviana (Via) Delilah Jax. Tillie is Via's niece and, therefore, also Dela's niece. Not accepting the responsibility of looking after a blood relative would bring shame upon the Jarroms and upset the spirits.<br /> <br /> Via, showing that she had learned from the best about being selfish, plotted with Mister Jenkins to leave Tillie with Dela to teach her a lesson in growing up and because Tillie was a lot like Dela. Instantly, Tillie proved her worth. She helped Dela with dressing and reconnected her with her Romini roots. Not only that, but she also assisted everyone in the caravan, engaging in work-for-work trades and helping with various tasks.<br /> <br /> Tillie's negotiating skills shone brightly when they traded with merchants waiting to cross into M'Chek at the main Eridanian River ferry. She haggled prices for fabric, questioned the freshness of fruit and greens, and even negotiated prices for supplies that Dela and Mister Jenkins hadn't realized they needed. Her prowess left everyone impressed, and they asked Dela if she was proud of Tillie's efforts and contributions. At the same time, they inquired if Tillie was proud of Dela for taking her in and helping her.<br /> <br /> Tillie's presence brought a sense of renewed purpose and responsibility to Dela's life. She not only proved to be an invaluable asset to the caravan but also helped Dela grow and mature in ways she hadn't anticipated. The bond between Dela and Tillie deepened, and they became a formidable team, each supporting and uplifting the other.<br /> <br /> Over time, Tillie's resourcefulness and determination continued to impress those around her. She became known for her quick thinking, sharp negotiation skills, and unwavering loyalty to her new family. Her story of survival and resilience inspired others, and she became a beloved figure within the caravan.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A child cares for a childless mother&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A mother cares for a motherless child&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A mother and child are together''&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> And just like that, the fates revealed by Via's cards had played out exactly as they were meant to. In a traditional Romini ritual, Tillie accepted Dela as her mother, and Dela embraced Tillie not only as her daughter but as her own blood. With this acceptance, she was renamed Georgiana Matilda Jarrom, a combination of her birth parents' names while keeping Matilda. Thus, she became Tillie to all within the caravan and blood but Georgiana to the outsiders they encountered.<br /> <br /> From that day forward, Dela and Tillie were rarely apart as they traveled. Tillie adapted quickly to the Romini way of life, and her bond with Dela grew stronger with each passing day. She proved to be an invaluable helper, assisting Dela with various tasks and chores, and she brought a newfound sense of joy and purpose to their lives.<br /> <br /> When the caravan was settled in camp and their chores were done, Tillie would run off to play with the other girls in the caravan. She reveled in the freedom and safety of her new life, exploring the world around her with a sense of wonder and adventure. Her laughter and enthusiasm were infectious, bringing smiles to the faces of everyone around her.<br /> <br /> The caravan community embraced Tillie as one of their own, and she formed close bonds with the other children. Together, they played games, shared stories, and learned the ways of their people. Tillie's resourcefulness and quick thinking often impressed the elders, and she was seen as a promising young member of the community.<br /> <br /> Dela watched with pride as Tillie thrived in her new environment. The bond between them deepened, and they became a formidable team, supporting and uplifting each other. Dela's love and care provided Tillie with the stability and security she needed, while Tillie's presence brought a sense of renewed purpose to Dela's life.<br /> <br /> As they traveled from place to place, Dela and Tillie encountered various challenges and adventures. Together, they navigated the complexities of their nomadic lifestyle, always looking out for one another. Their journey was filled with moments of joy, learning, and growth, and they faced each obstacle with determination and resilience.<br /> <br /> == Footnotes ==<br /> Dela's Ordeal can be found in [https://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=159&amp;t=135728| Character Journals]<br /> <br /> Theme Song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHzOOQfhPFg| No Doubt - Just A Girl]<br /> <br /> Dela's Portrait is custom and located with the others via [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&amp;t=137026| Portrait Change Over Process] <br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Dela]]<br /> [[Category:MChekPCs|Dela]]</div>

With her hourglass figure and her notable, some might even say famous, ever-present, and unforgettable bustline, she commands attention wherever she goes. Regardless of her attire, there is always a small blade within reach to deal with troublemakers and gawkers; she is Romini, after all. Her holy amulet isn't visible, as the necklace vanishes from view at her cleavage and into the depths. Though she now speaks in a mix of Romini, Common, and Jechrain-ease, one thing has changed, and one thing hasn't: she learned about style, but her aim still sucks. You figure out which.<br /> <br /> Most notable are the tattoos adorning her body. They are mostly nautical, ranging from a mermaid's tail that stretches from her right shoulder to her right wrist, to an anchor above a giant sea turtle on her right hand. Along her left hand is a series of stars. There are rumors of more tattoos that remain unseen in public, adding to her mystique.<br /> <br /> In her hair, she wears an ornate, bejeweled, and possibly very old hairpin adorned with apple blossoms and golden wheat stalks, completing her distinctive look. This hairpin is not just an accessory but a symbol of her heritage and the stories she carries with her.<br /> <br /> Her presence is both captivating and intimidating. She moves with a confidence that comes from years of navigating the complexities of her world. Her eyes, sharp and observant, miss nothing, and her smile, though rare, can be both enchanting and dangerous. She is a force to be reckoned with, a woman who has carved out her own path and defies anyone who tries to stand in her way.<br /> <br /> Despite her rough exterior, there is a depth to her that few get to see. She carries the weight of her past with her, the lessons learned and the scars earned. Her loyalty to those she cares about is unwavering, and she will go to great lengths to protect them. She is a survivor, a warrior, and a beacon of strength in a world that often seeks to diminish her.<br /> <br /> <br /> 'More boobs than magic and she got a lot of magic'<br /> <br /> == Tattoos and Markings ==<br /> <br /> * Mermaid's Tail (Seakissed) - Right shoulder to her right forearm.<br /> * Anchor (Always find my way) - Top of her right hand<br /> * Sea Turtle (Defeated the Great Western Sea Turle) - Palm of her right hand<br /> * Series of stars (Never lost) - Top of her left hand<br /> * Yeraiah's Apple - Base of her neck<br /> * Plume Agate Design (Symbol of the Agate Caravan) - Right shoulder blade<br /> * Tattered Sails (First storm crossing) - Outter left thigh<br /> * Cannon firing/Two swords crossed (First combat at sea) - Lower left ribs<br /> * Two Songbirds (First time crossing from NW seas to the SW seas) - Lower back<br /> * An apple half wrapped in cloth (First birthing honored) - Right ribs<br /> * Two Ravens (First time crossing from SE seas to the NE seas) - Right thigh<br /> * Two Apples half wrapped in cloth (First twins birthing honored) - Right ribs below the other apple<br /> * Branded Rose (Adopted mark of the Burning Roses of Jechran) - Below hairline on her neck<br /> * A wagon wheel (Romini wagon symbolizing her rediscovered blood) - Sternum<br /> * A dragon's tail ('befriending her dragon') - Left shoulder to forearm<br /> * Balm of the Bees flower (Symbol of her wave name 'Marja Lulud') - From knee to toes on both legs<br /> * Charms of the gods and goddess (Romini charm bracelets) - High thigh, both thighs<br /> <br /> == Early Life ==<br /> The waters swelled, bubbles crashed into me, and my memories flooded my mind. Not little by little, but all at once, as if I had jumped into the baths and submerged myself completely. Overwhelming shock took over as memories surfaced, knowledge was gained, and the truth was revealed. Slowly, it all began to make sense.<br /> <br /> I was Dela Jarrom, and on my 14th naming day, I was to be wed to a young man from the Pugh family, a tribe around Malekia, to unite our two families. As the day approached, we departed in our wagons from Andarr, following the Blackwater to Crosstreams. I had never met this boy, nor did I wish to. To say I was upset would be an understatement—akin to the old saying: without wood, the fire would die. I had cords of wood within me, fueling my anger.<br /> <br /> Grandmother's constant denunciations of the Pughs as goat lovers, liars, and betrayers to our ways didn't help. Every waking second of my life was filled with her complaints. After days and days of threats to tie me up in the wagon, I began to formulate a plan. Soon, the Blackwater Fen would be under our wheels. We often stayed there, and I had made friends in the Fen. That's where I would make my move, and Rosella could marry the Pugh for all I cared. All she talked about for ten months straight was how she was old enough and who her suitor would be, not to mention bragging about the price.<br /> <br /> As we journeyed towards the Blackwater Fen, my mind raced with plans and possibilities. The thought of escaping the unwanted marriage gave me a sense of hope and determination. I knew the Fen well, and I had allies there who could help me. My heart pounded with both fear and excitement as the day drew nearer.<br /> <br /> The closer we got to the Fen, the more resolute I became. I couldn't allow myself to be forced into a life I didn't want, especially with someone I had never met. My grandmother's incessant criticisms only fueled my desire to break free from the expectations placed upon me.<br /> <br /> Finally, the day arrived when we entered the Blackwater Fen. The familiar sights and sounds of the Fen filled me with a sense of relief and anticipation. I knew this was my chance. With the help of my friends, I could escape and forge my own path. I could be free from the constraints of tradition and expectation.<br /> <br /> As I looked around the Fen, I felt a surge of determination. This was my moment to seize control of my destiny. I would not be wed to the Pugh boy. I would not be a pawn in my family's plans. I would carve out my own future, no matter the cost.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/ANJvp4B.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> On the second night of our journey through the Blackwater Fen, the order was shouted to keep going and push through the night. Rains were expected the next day, and if the marshes flooded into the forest, travel would become nearly impossible. I realized that if it did flood, my tracks would be covered up, making my escape less noticeable. The night wasn't moonless, but clouds began to roll in, covering the silvery glow of the moon. Soon there would be a narrow turn, and I could jump from the wagon without the one behind us seeing me. With the grace of a rock smashing into water, I jumped and rolled into a ditch, caked in dirt until everyone rolled past.<br /> <br /> I ran back to the spot where we would have stayed and then to a small village. That's where I knew Jenkins from—not his real name by any means, but that's what I'd called him since I met him five summers ago. I was swimming in the river, and he chased the boys off. From that moment, whenever we camped there, he would come with the others to greet and trade, but he came to see me. We spent time together, sharing our thoughts and dreams, and we wanted to explore the world together. Jenkins hid me that night, knowing the rains would come and buy us time. The next morning, as the sky was gray with storms, we slipped out of the village into the marshes on a little raft he had, making our way to the Blackwater.<br /> <br /> On the Blackwater, we had to pass through Crosstreams, which was problematic since my tribe was passing through there too. We started hopping barges, offering to labor on any that were going through Crosstreams without stopping. We found one barge that was heading to the Divalok River and then up to Stalwart on the Dentry. Jenkins worked as a spotter, and I helped with the cooking to pay our way. We encountered a little trouble near the docks and ended up swimming out to a passing boat named &quot;The Plump Fey,&quot; which was headed to Stalwart. They agreed to take us on. What a sight we were—a waterlogged Romini runaway and a wet satyr who could barely tread water.<br /> <br /> The ship was a trading vessel that ferried goods from the RiverFolk up the Dentry from Crosstreams to Stalwart. Jenkins assisted with the cargo, and I was given the task of helping the ship's mistress—not that kind of mistress, but the owner. She was making the journey to visit family. Jenkins learned the ways of ship life and its expectations, while Miss Redglide, the ship's owner, explained the nature of life to me. She was a devoted follower of Yeraiah and often spoke of inner strength, not by acting like a man but by using my mind and ways to be a free and independent woman.<br /> <br /> When we reached Stalwart, we departed the ship and were immediately greeted by a man with a book and quill who asked for our names. Jenkins, speaking rather rashly, said, &quot;I am Jenkins, loyal servant to Miss Esme' Grey,&quot; as he motioned to me. The man wrote our names down and even welcomed Miss Redglide back to Stalwart. Later, she paid us for our work and bought me two dresses and two corsets. I was already more developed than most adults and couldn't even see how she laced me shut, so she taught Jenkins the skills. Then, we parted ways as she went to meet her family.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/uoZsnZz.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> We sailed on many ships and performed many jobs, all the while learning the art of sailing, the ways of the salt, and its secrets. It was on the Grace of Andarr that I began to pay more attention to the navigator and his assistants. Although he already had two students, I kept watching and studying what they were doing. My attention to detail impressed the captain so much that he started teaching me. By the time my contract reached its term, he presented me with letters stating that I was an able-bodied 3rd class Navigator and a letter of recommendation for any sailing college or officer school if I chose to pursue further education.<br /> <br /> However, it wasn't until my days on the Roseriver that I learned the harsh realities of life at sea. The Roseriver was not open seas and good wind; it was where I picked up too many bad habits. Pride, drink, and carnal knowledge replaced all that Miss Redglide had taught me. I racked up conquests like other sailors when they hit port, and I had a system: one week at sea meant one lover bought and paid for. Sometimes I even sold myself to keep the party going. Those were dark days indeed. I think we left the Roseriver because the captain got a little too interested in me, or at least that's what Jenkins tells me—I don't remember it clearly.<br /> <br /> From there, I took my letters and logbook to the Navigational College of Dormiria, where I was accepted as a 3rd class Navigator. I attended classes, studied diligently, and passed my 2nd and 1st class tests. My work history as a 3rd class Navigator fulfilled the requirements for 2nd and 1st class ranks. Then I found myself left in port from The Dancing Crane somewhere in Torran Shada. It was too much fun, as I recall it now, because The Dancing Crane was a good ship to serve on. It was then that I joined the Sailmaker's Guild and sewed sails in various sail lofts to support us while we looked for a new ship to work on.<br /> <br /> I think we caught passage to Andarr on some rat-infested ship that didn't even have her name on her and got home. We checked in at the Merchant Sailor's Hall for a ship to crew on, but there was a wait, and I was at the bottom of the list with a red mark by my name. It was more of the same until Jenkins came looking for me. He finally found me in the backroom of some brothel in a bed with more bodies than it was meant to hold. He shouted and screamed that the ship was leaving and I had a job. Jenkins dressed me while angrily shouting that this wasn't me—that I wasn't supposed to be like this—and told everyone to leave. He rushed me to the docks and up the plank, but I sent him back to the brothel to retrieve my hairpins because I never left port without them. As he vanished into the crowded pier, I motioned for the gangplank to be raised, and the Captain ordered the ship to sea. He asked if I was ready to put my merchant ship knowledge to profitable use.<br /> <br /> Then a storm came, and the ship sank with all hands lost...<br /> <br /> == Ships Crewed/Nautical Occupations ==<br /> <br /> * The Dragonbone - Cook Assistant and Seamstress; Jenkins maintains paperwork of cargo hauling.

None of us had memories of how we ended up in the salt, and we were bewildered by our circumstances. Captain Pink had dressed us, we learned, and each of us was found with a coral ring on our fingers. What followed was the adventure of a lifetime, the kind of tale that even a bard or an entire Academy of Bards couldn't make up. We encountered a snaggletoothed woman, a Fairy Overlord, Captain Seethrough, Pink, Highfeather, the Monkey, and so many others. We stooped and fetched for them, earning their help in our quest.<br /> <br /> Through all that, in one perfect moment, as I stood on a beach looking out at the salt, everything hit me, and I remembered everything.<br /> <br /> I'm not sure if they all made it in the end. I know I almost didn't. Tannar, Geoff, Punchy, and Bette did. But there were no signs of Zily, Mol, Ted, Tabby, Manchild, or SeaSick at the clubhouse. I fear they are gone, washed away by the chaos, or maybe they just decided to start new lives. I'll pray that whichever path they found themselves on, they are happy at least.<br /> <br /> For me, I wandered into the chapel of Yeraiah and was greeted as Emse' Grey. I was welcomed warmly, as I was expected some time ago. I explained all that had occurred, and to my relief, I was believed. The Mother of All works in strange and mysterious ways. I dropped to my knees and thanked her, feeling truly loved. I've never cried as much or as hard as I did at that moment. Then, I found a card that had been given to me days ago. It read &quot;Mr. Jenkins - Loyal Manservant&quot; with a note on the back stating &quot;Romini camp, outside the city gates.&quot;<br /> <br /> The others are off, remembering and picking up where they left off. I told Bette to find me if she ever needed help. We were the last two on the beach. Now, I am sitting on the back of a wagon, listening to Jenkins ramble on about his search for me as I write. He keeps bringing up plans for future voyages upon the sea, mentioning strange lands I've even heard rumors of, such as Khanjar Kuro. Part of me wants to go, and part of me wants to buy a wagon and travel where I can't drown... again.<br /> <br /> The journey ahead is uncertain, but I am ready to face it with Jenkins by my side. Whether we venture to new lands or travel safely on land, I know that we will face whatever comes our way together.<br /> <br /> == Jechran ==<br /> <br /> The Silver Star was charted for Jechran, and it sailed there without the slightest problem. Upon its arrival and for several years afterward, Dela stayed in an abbey of Mortal of her Grace, which is dedicated to Yeraiah. The abbey was about a day's walk southeast from Myleah and within sight of the ocean. There, Dela gained control of herself and developed an understanding of who she truly was.<br /> <br /> At the abbey, Dela studied and learned firsthand the duties and tasks of a midwife. Over time, she became one of the teachers to the younger sisters, sharing her knowledge and expertise in midwifery. She became part of a group of midwives from the abbey who traveled the lands of Jechran, speaking on matters ranging from fertility to the birthing process. The midwives worked in pairs, and Dela was paired with Sister Milisarda, a local Half-Elf who discovered her calling around the same time Dela arrived at the abbey.<br /> <br /> Every spring and fall, the tandem would head out, traveling their routes across Jechran, visiting all the tribes, and checking in on matters that would require their aid when the time came. Dela and Milisarda's route took them along the coastline of Jechran from the abbey and then along the border with the Wastelands.<br /> <br /> As they traveled, Dela and Milisarda provided crucial support and guidance to the women they encountered. They offered practical advice on fertility, childbirth, and postnatal care, ensuring that each community had the knowledge and resources needed to care for their mothers and children. Their visits were often met with gratitude and relief, as they brought not only medical expertise but also comfort and reassurance.<br /> <br /> In addition to their midwifery duties, Dela and Milisarda forged strong bonds with the communities they served. They listened to the stories and struggles of the women they met, offering a compassionate ear and words of encouragement. Through their work, they fostered a sense of unity and support among the tribes, helping to strengthen the bonds between them.<br /> <br /> Dela's time at the abbey and her travels with Milisarda allowed her to grow both personally and professionally. She developed a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment in her role as a midwife and teacher. The experiences she gained and the relationships she built shaped her into a confident and capable woman, dedicated to the well-being of others.<br /> <br /> Throughout her journey, Dela remained committed to the teachings of Yeraiah and the principles of compassion, wisdom, and strength. Her faith and determination guided her in all she did, and she became a respected and beloved figure in the communities she served.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/mCfnVGI.png<br /> |}<br /> When demons attacked Dre'Ana's High Temple, Dela took it upon herself to teach her sisters at the abbey combat magic to the best of her ability. Though she wasn't very confident in this form of magic, and the stories from the Club of Damned attested to her struggles, she was determined to help. To her own surprise, she didn't wound or kill a single sister during her lessons. While the combat magic was never needed to defend the abbey or her sisters, Dela found joy in teaching and helping others.<br /> <br /> As her time at the abbey lengthened, she was offered and accepted the role of assistant to Mother Gabliania, earning the rank of Precentor. In this role, she would lead prayers and prepare all rituals. With this new responsibility came the expectation that Dela would also clean up her appearance. She abandoned her wild hair colors and untidy hair, learning to maintain her appearance and make herself presentable in various situations. To preserve her Romini heritage, she dusted her hair with pink powder as a reminder to all (and herself) that she was Romini.<br /> <br /> Dela became increasingly concerned when she noticed that the birthrate in the south was at zero for an entire month. Rumors spread, and soon they heard from the south that Dagath had died. Babies began to be born left and right. Later, when they heard of his return, it is rumored that Dela exclaimed &quot;No shit&quot; to the messenger, slinging a towel covered in blood and afterbirth at him. It was then that she started considering a life change and heading south.<br /> <br /> She knew that Bette was trying to get color-coded by the Mage Trust to learn more. Dela began to think that perhaps she should do the same, to better herself in the ways of Yeraiah, even if it meant postponing her training as a priestess. One day, while staying in Myleah, waiting for the corsetmaker to finish creating a new reinforced corset for her impressive bust and hourglass form, she made up her mind. She informed the abbey that she would depart south in the coming days with their blessings.<br /> <br /> The blessings were given, and Mother Gabliania even made travel arrangements for her student and friend. Dela carried letters of her service and letters for Samantha at the Mikona Temple, which she did not allow Mister Jenkins to carry. For only the second time in her life, Dela was a passenger on a sailing ship and not part of the crew.<br /> <br /> As she sailed south, Dela felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. She was leaving behind the familiarity of the abbey and embarking on a new journey. The ship's gentle sway and the salt air reminded her of her past adventures, but this time, her purpose was different. She was determined to deepen her understanding of Yeraiah's teachings and enhance her skills to better serve those in need.<br /> <br /> The journey south was a time of reflection and anticipation. Dela thought about the sisters she had left behind, the lessons she had learned, and the new experiences that awaited her. She felt a strong sense of purpose and a renewed commitment to her faith. As the ship approached its destination, she prepared herself for the next chapter of her life, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.<br /> <br /> == The Ordeal: Wagons Ahoy! ==<br /> (WiP Placeholder for the summary)<br /> <br /> Ordeal (noun) &lt;br&gt;<br /> or·deal /ôrˈdēl/&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Definition:<br /> #A painful or horrific experience, especially a protracted one.<br /> #A test of guilt or innocence by the subjection of the accused to severe pain, survival of which was taken as divine proof of innocence.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oBzJMBO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Dela's Ordeal: Wagons Ahoy, is an emotive Plethora-approved adventure that is a side story to a much larger storyline and comes to life via her journal. Based mostly in Toran Sharda and in The Seven Cities around the Blackwater River and Blackwater Fenn. Given that one RL day equals three Avlis days, most posts cover two or three days of Avlis time for Dela and her loyal manservant Mister Jenkins.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Travel Map ==<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/8uWmHmUl.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> After the events on the Roseriver, Dela, and Jekinks departed for better employment. They embarked on a different kind of journey. They traveled to the port city of [[Dormiria]]. Where Dela enrolled in the Navigational College there. She presented her logbooks and letters from the captain of The Grace and from The Prize of Andarr to gain entry. Was here she truly flourished for the first time. Never having any formal education and was able to conduct on par with others enrolled that had such backgrounds. She also for a time cleaned up her bad habits of drinking too much and indulging in pleasure. Here she studied coastal navigation and open sea navigation via celestial means. Orienteering via landmarks and maps. Not to mention understanding the skies to determine the weather and understanding the clouds. How to properly chart courses and log them for records. As part of her training to become a navigator 1st class, cartography was a required skill. A skill she excelled in her final year at the college.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> During this time, Mister Jenkins worked for the Dormiria Cargo Consortium. A guild of cargo masters based out of a warehouse near the Northern Refuge, who specialized in loading heavy loads into long haul ships. This warehouse is also where Dela and Mister Jenkins resided for most of their time in the city. As they tended to avoid the Caravan District on the chance of running into relatives of Dela.<br /> <br /> She created this map based on her travels up to that time from maps within the college library and from other navigators she met while studying there. This map charts the sum of her cartography work at the college and is the map she carries to this day in her map case; denoting her travels by ship, wagon, and other means. <br /> <br /> The interior lands are copied from several atlases on campus and from stories told by adventurers in taverns or that booked passage on ships she crewed on. It is by no means as accurate as the coastal map is. Dela is rarely inland for long except her youth spent between the Blackwater and Dentry Rivers and her time in Jechran.<br /> <br /> <br /> *The Dancing Crane route changes its color due to the captain's death off the eastern coast of T'Nanshi. He died from natural causes and the first mate taking over command.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> *There are not charts denoting the journey of the Baskerville or the Scarlet Harlot. Due to Dela not having her sextant with her as this takes place during Dela's Ordeal: Club of the Damned.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> *The wagon is the charting course for Dela's Ordeal: Wagon's Ahoy&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> [https://i.imgur.com/8uWmHmU.png Full Size Map'' here.]&lt;br&gt;<br /> (''The map itself was made at https://inkarnate.com/ using the Avlis Atlas as a guide'')<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> ''' The Family she wasn't born to but earned '''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Mr. Jenkins - Her loyal friend and manservant (Age Unknown)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Georgiana Matilda (Tillie) Jarrom - Adopted Daughter (Age 10)&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> '''The Jarrom's last seen when Dela was 14''':&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Rye Jarrom - Father (Age 43)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Kizzy Jarrom (Wicks)- Mother (Age 38)&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Adamu Jarrom - Brother (Age 20 and married to Kostana)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Brishan Jarrom - Brother (Age 17 and married to Violca)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Besnik Jarrom - Brother (age 10)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Nicu Jarrom - Brother (Age 3)&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Corauni Jarrom- Sister (Age 22 and married to Tas Akehurst)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Orchili Jarrom - Sister (Age 16 and married to Patrin Beven)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cojini Jarron - Sister (Age 12)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Vai Jarrom - Sister (Age 6)&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> Esmerelda Wicks - Grandmother&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Though there are others both along the banks of the Blackwater Fenn and spread across the lands. Some she met and some she only heard stories of.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Mister Jenkins ===<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/dFa3AR9.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> One day, while traveling along the trail between the Blackwater River and the Blackwater Fenn, Dela encountered a satyr who began following her wagon. As he walked along the side of the path, they struck up a conversation and quickly became friends. Over the next few years, the satyr followed the caravan whenever it passed through the area, spending all day and night with Dela. He shared stories about the Blackwater River and the Blackwater Fenn, protecting her from boys spying on her as she bathed, playing games, and taking little trips into the Fenn together.<br /> <br /> When Dela learned she was to be wed against her will, it was the satyr who helped her escape to a new life. He dubbed himself Mister Jenkins, loyal manservant to Miss Esme Grey, and thus began the adventures of Esme Grey and her loyal manservant.<br /> <br /> Mister Jenkins remained by her side until she tricked him and shipped out without him. During that voyage, the ship sank, and she became Sea Kissed. Jenkins spent many years trying to track down his friend, searching the coast for tales of her and the ship. When he heard the ship had gone down, he refused to believe she was gone and doubled down on his search. He scoured the western coast and, when no new information was found, moved to the eastern coast.<br /> <br /> By chance or luck, Jenkins heard a rumor about lost souls, the Sea Kissed, or better known as the Club of the Damned, in Mikona. He discovered that Esme wasn't called Esme and that she and the others didn't know who they were. Jenkins left his calling card at the bar they called their clubhouse and went to the Temple of Yeraiah, knowing that she always prayed there before shipping out. The temple hadn't seen her but had been expecting her for some time. They urged him to wait.<br /> <br /> Soon enough, her ordeal was completed, and her memories returned. Mister Jenkins was reunited with his Esme and began planning new adventures, including getting her drunk and signing her up to crew on another ship bound for Jechran. When she returned to the south, he was at her side.<br /> <br /> These days, Jenkins has taken to wearing a coat like his 'spirit guide,' a fellow named Finn. He claims coats have the power to command respect and the ability to lead others. Jenkins continues to be a loyal and steadfast companion to Esme, ready to embark on whatever adventures lie ahead. <br /> <br /> <br /> In all their time together. What she knows of him could only fill a scrap of paper:<br /> * She does not know his name in fey but knows it's not Mister Jenkins.<br /> * She knows he follows Mishlekh.<br /> * She knows he loves nymphs and hates fake nymphs.<br /> * She knows (won't admit) he looks after her like a father figure.<br /> * She knows when called up, he an outright bastard with that dagger.<br /> <br /> === Georgiana Matilda Jarrom ===<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/57L5854.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Georgiana Matilda Jarrom, affectionately known as Tillie, is the adopted daughter of Dela. Originally from the Stone Spokes Caravan, Tillie's life took a tragic turn a few years before meeting Dela. Her caravan was attacked while crossing the Hammer Rift, trying to make up for lost time due to weather delays. The exact nature of the attack remains a mystery; some believe it was giants, trolls, or orcs, but no one is completely sure. Tillie was one of the few survivors of this horrifying event.<br /> <br /> She was discovered by a search party from the Twisted Vine Caravan, led by Dela's brother-in-law and husband of Viviana (Via) Delilah Jax. Tillie is Via's niece and, therefore, also Dela's niece. Not accepting the responsibility of looking after a blood relative would bring shame upon the Jarroms and upset the spirits.<br /> <br /> Via, showing that she had learned from the best about being selfish, plotted with Mister Jenkins to leave Tillie with Dela to teach her a lesson in growing up and because Tillie was a lot like Dela. Instantly, Tillie proved her worth. She helped Dela with dressing and reconnected her with her Romini roots. Not only that, but she also assisted everyone in the caravan, engaging in work-for-work trades and helping with various tasks.<br /> <br /> Tillie's negotiating skills shone brightly when they traded with merchants waiting to cross into M'Chek at the main Eridanian River ferry. She haggled prices for fabric, questioned the freshness of fruit and greens, and even negotiated prices for supplies that Dela and Mister Jenkins hadn't realized they needed. Her prowess left everyone impressed, and they asked Dela if she was proud of Tillie's efforts and contributions. At the same time, they inquired if Tillie was proud of Dela for taking her in and helping her.<br /> <br /> Tillie's presence brought a sense of renewed purpose and responsibility to Dela's life. She not only proved to be an invaluable asset to the caravan but also helped Dela grow and mature in ways she hadn't anticipated. The bond between Dela and Tillie deepened, and they became a formidable team, each supporting and uplifting the other.<br /> <br /> Over time, Tillie's resourcefulness and determination continued to impress those around her. She became known for her quick thinking, sharp negotiation skills, and unwavering loyalty to her new family. Her story of survival and resilience inspired others, and she became a beloved figure within the caravan.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A child cares for a childless mother&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A mother cares for a motherless child&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''Seven times in a day proud&lt;BR&gt;<br /> ''A mother and child are together''&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> And just like that, the fates revealed by Via's cards had played out exactly as they were meant to. In a traditional Romini ritual, Tillie accepted Dela as her mother, and Dela embraced Tillie not only as her daughter but as her own blood. With this acceptance, she was renamed Georgiana Matilda Jarrom, a combination of her birth parents' names while keeping Matilda. Thus, she became Tillie to all within the caravan and blood but Georgiana to the outsiders they encountered.<br /> <br /> From that day forward, Dela and Tillie were rarely apart as they traveled. Tillie adapted quickly to the Romini way of life, and her bond with Dela grew stronger with each passing day. She proved to be an invaluable helper, assisting Dela with various tasks and chores, and she brought a newfound sense of joy and purpose to their lives.<br /> <br /> When the caravan was settled in camp and their chores were done, Tillie would run off to play with the other girls in the caravan. She reveled in the freedom and safety of her new life, exploring the world around her with a sense of wonder and adventure. Her laughter and enthusiasm were infectious, bringing smiles to the faces of everyone around her.<br /> <br /> The caravan community embraced Tillie as one of their own, and she formed close bonds with the other children. Together, they played games, shared stories, and learned the ways of their people. Tillie's resourcefulness and quick thinking often impressed the elders, and she was seen as a promising young member of the community.<br /> <br /> Dela watched with pride as Tillie thrived in her new environment. The bond between them deepened, and they became a formidable team, supporting and uplifting each other. Dela's love and care provided Tillie with the stability and security she needed, while Tillie's presence brought a sense of renewed purpose to Dela's life.<br /> <br /> As they traveled from place to place, Dela and Tillie encountered various challenges and adventures. Together, they navigated the complexities of their nomadic lifestyle, always looking out for one another. Their journey was filled with moments of joy, learning, and growth, and they faced each obstacle with determination and resilience.<br /> <br /> == Footnotes ==<br /> Dela's Ordeal can be found in [https://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=159&amp;t=135728| Character Journals]<br /> <br /> Theme Song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHzOOQfhPFg| No Doubt - Just A Girl]<br /> <br /> Dela's Portrait is custom and located with the others via [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&amp;t=137026| Portrait Change Over Process] <br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Dela]]<br /> [[Category:MChekPCs|Dela]]</div>

She appears to be around 20 years old and if not a few days younger. Very pleasant on the eyes but easily forgetful at the same time. Does look like she knows a thing or two about this and that behind closed doors; which you won't forget. Known to be a proud Andarrian woman and unabashedly shows off her fuzzy happy trail or other fleecy spots depending on her attire. Typically, seen with a rapier hung low on her left and an old black velvet glove on her right hand.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Charlotte &quot;Lotte&quot; Shadeflower is the daughter of Halanaestra Torynore, a well-known brothel owner in Andarr. Her father could be any of the men who paid her mother the most attention and weren't hitting on her. Rumors suggest her biological father could be one of three people: a ship captain known as Foresteye, a merchant from Crosstreams of the Orme's, or a man from Sorraine named Whittemore. However, Lotte doesn't care about her biological father, as they were never around. The one she considers her true father is Captain Bartjan of the City Guards, who might also be a Grey Dirk. He taught her how to defend herself with a rapier and assured her that she didn't have to follow in her mother's footsteps if she didn't want to.<br /> <br /> In her free time, after washing bedding and clothing or cleaning up the main floor, Lotte would head to the basement of the brothel. There, she hunted down rats and skewered them or practiced shadow sparring with a bag of flour as her target. As she grew older, she reached the age where she was expected to join the other women in plying the art of seduction and pleasure when not training with her blade.<br /> <br /> One day, Lotte broke the cardinal rule of the brothel by forgetting her rapier was in her belt. Reacting instinctively when her bum was slapped, she spun around, drew her blade, and ran a man through. She was taken off in chains and tossed in jail to await hanging. In the dead of night, Captain Bartjan came to her rescue. He opened her cell, smuggled her to the docks, and put her on a ship bound for Mikona. Before parting ways, he told her never to come back and gave her a small sack of coins.<br /> <br /> Lotte's journey to Mikona marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life. She left behind the shadows of her past and embraced the unknown future. With her rapier by her side and the skills she had learned from Captain Bartjan, she was determined to forge her own path. Along the way, she encountered various challenges and adventures, each one shaping her into a formidable and independent woman.<br /> <br /> As she traveled, Lotte's reputation grew. She became known for her quick wit, sharp blade, and unwavering determination. She navigated the complexities of life in Mikona, making allies and enemies along the way. Her past as the daughter of a brothel owner and her training under Captain Bartjan gave her a unique perspective and set of skills that she used to her advantage.<br /> <br /> Lotte's story is one of resilience and strength, a testament to her ability to rise above her circumstances and carve out her own destiny. She continues to journey through life with a fierce spirit, always ready to face whatever challenges come her way.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Prostitution ==<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/ZeFXgZC.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> Of the many kinds of whores in Andarr; Lotte was a harlot. Like her mother and grandmother even; possibly further back and that. In Andarr, like [[Stalwart]] (City of Pleasure) some forms and ways of prostitution are not only seen as need employment but even respectful employment. That is to say, she worked in well kept and honestly ran, respectable brothel named 'Madam Torynore's Emporium of Fine Delicacies, Treats, and the Exotic' which her mother owned and operated. She wasn't on the streets or working the alleyways like the hustlers, painted boys, or the trollops. Nor was she working the various inns of Andarr like a 'red lady' or 'fancy girl' looking to get by or possibly more if they wanted to change location.<br /> <br /> All brothels had gimmicks. Madam Torynore's Emporium of Fine Delicacies, Treats, and the Exotic was no different. Always in a dress or gown that was picked out for them by Madam Torynore herself. All the women dressed there dressed they very and were versed in the affairs of the day or matters of life. Down the way was the 'The Bards and the Bees' where all the girls dressed as boys and the boys were painted up like girls. Then the 'The Layflower' at the end of the way is where the girls wear nothing at all. At all the brothels, the local healers were always welcome and would proclaim the 'house' and its 'staff' clean with a mark on the door. Harlots like Lotte, Maddy, and others who worked in brothels could easily get in upwards of 1,000 coins for their 'time' per guest. As they are all about seduction and pleasure; quality over quantity. Where your trollop is lucky to get more than a few coins for whatever act was performed in an alleyway or the 'fancy girls' looking for just a bit more or her room billed paid. <br /> <br /> Lotte and Maddy did dream of being courtesans but neither of them had the beauty or the grace to achieve such. After meeting a few courtesans decided that was to much work and preparations they do and all for one person. But they were very envious of how courtesans were adored by their one person.<br /> <br /> == Letters Home ==<br /> She writes her truest friend Madlen 'Maddy' Lammers back in Andarr at Madam Torynore's Emporium of Fine Delicacies, Treats, and the Exotic but never sends them. She writes to her friend about the world she sees and hears about. Like Lotte, Maddy is harlot by trade and they have never seen the world. Only heard about from those that paid for their pleasure. Stories they never really believed but as Lotte is learning are very true.<br /> <br /> [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=159&amp;t=137686| Unsent Letters of Charlotte 'Lotte' Shadeflower]<br /> <br /> == Friends and Family ==<br /> <br /> Halanaestra Torynore; Mother of Charlotte and owner of Madam Torynore's Emporium of Fine Delicacies, Treats, and the Exotic&lt;br&gt;<br /> Captain Bartjan; City Garud, lover of Halananaestra, and fatherly figure to Charlotte.&lt;br&gt;<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/se3lkiu.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> '''The harlots of Madam Torynore's Emporium of Fine Delicacies, Treats, and the Exotic'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Charlotte Torynore; ''now know as Lotte Shadeflower''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Madlen 'Maddy' Lammers; ''Lotte's best friend in the whole world''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Nicola Pearl&lt;br&gt;<br /> Kristina Privett&lt;br&gt;<br /> Elizabeth Fansant&lt;br&gt;<br /> Alessandra Strommen; ''cheat at cards.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Celeste Tassis; ''got cleaned out in cards by Lotte got even by ruining Lotte's cards''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Marianne; ''taught Lotte and Madlen the arts''.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Klaudia Nissley&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Remy, also known as Remi; a painted boy.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Liam; who was already looking for a 'lord' to kneel in front of&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Marek and Radek the bouncers&lt;br&gt;<br /> Gabriela the blackjack dealer&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dewi Choak the bartender&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Footnotes ==<br /> Theme Song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDfgMOUjCI| Billie Eilish - bad guy]<br /> <br /> Lotte's Portrait is custom and located with the others via [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&amp;t=137026| Portrait Change Over Process] <br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Shadeflower, Lotte ]]<br /> [[Category:MChekPCs|Shadeflower, Lotte ]]</div>

Her eyes are cold blue and when she speaks there is really isn't any trace of a fey accent to her words but a heavily learned accent from around the southeastern portion of The Seven Cities COndederation. Nothing about her seems flashy or even feyish but very pedestrian for one of her blood.<br /> <br /> Those eyes! There something off. Maybe don't ask her if she was a member of the ITTY BITTY TITTY COMITTY in the Fenn. There is a decent chance she wasn't just a member but its president.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/TdzGGUh.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> Alix, a half-Nymph from the Blackwater Fenn, was born from a torrid affair between her mother and a stranded traveler during the wet season. Her mother, a Nymph, had a brief but passionate encounter with the traveler, resulting in Alix's birth. A decade or so later, the traveler returned to the Blackwater Fenn and discovered that Alix was his daughter. Realizing that the Fenn was not a suitable place for her to be raised, he decided to take her to Malekia. His intentions were not entirely noble; he saw Alix as a status symbol and sought to educate her in proper human ways and his own faith, hoping to use her for his own needs and desires. He believed that once she came of age, the elite would want to marry her, elevating his own status in the process.<br /> <br /> Unbeknownst to her father, while he pushed his beliefs and values on her, Alix was learning about fear and embracing the teachings of The'Ton. At sixteen, she decided to teach her father a lesson about fear. In a gruesome act of retribution, she flayed him alive on their dining room table, leaving his body for the servants to find in the morning.<br /> <br /> As Alix traveled, as Nymphs and their half-blooded offspring often do, she attracted numerous suitors with requests for marriage and promises of everlasting love. Those foolish enough to follow her found their throats slit after she had her fill of them, and she took their belongings as spoils.<br /> <br /> Alix's reputation grew as she wandered the lands, a figure both alluring and deadly. Her beauty and charm drew people to her, but her ruthless nature ensured that few survived their encounters with her. She became a legend, a cautionary tale whispered among those who dared to venture into the wilds. Her story serves as a reminder of the dangers that lie in the hearts of those who are both of nature and beyond it.<br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Thronheart, Alix]]</div>

Her hair is cropped and free; in the color of the clouds or the leaves of her tree when they first bloom. Her eyes are the color of a mountain spring water, and a blissful smile always graces her lips. Now and then little leaf buddings appear in her hair. <br /> <br /> It seems a small victory that she adapted to wearing clothes around others.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/0FHPTZg.png<br /> |}Toova was born to an overly possessive mother after a winterlong mating with a stranded hunter who found shelter in her grove. Her mother named her after what she desired most—a good daughter. Over the years, Toova was taught the ways of the Dryads and nature. Her mother taught her to commune with the trees and helped her plant her own Silvery Oak, making Toova believe that her life was entwined with the tree. This kept her from leaving the secluded grove, next to a nameless creek frozen for most of the year, in Tyedu.<br /> <br /> When other Fey traveled and found the secluded grove, Toova was allowed to visit and speak with them but had to hold her mother's hand, even as a teenager. If men stumbled upon the grove, Toova had to hide in her tree without argument. As she grew older and bolder, she spied on them to understand why. She began to wonder if one of them was her father. Each time she brought it up to her mother, it was met with outrage and anger, fearing she would leave to live with men.<br /> <br /> It was perhaps her seventeenth or twentieth winter when her life would change forever. Fall had shown all signs of being shorter than normal, and a harsh winter was upon them. The two made their preparations to survive the harshness. However, her mother, preoccupied with keeping her daughter in the grove and away from everything else, had neglected her own tree. Disease had set in: the leaves had yet to fall, and the once silvery bark was yellowing and weakening. The tree would not live through the winter, nor would it support her mother. Her mother showed the same signs of the disease, causing Toova a problem, as her mother's plan was for them to survive together within Toova's tree.<br /> <br /> As her mother made the final plans, she retreated into her own sickly tree to gather the essence of the Heartwood from deep within, to use in the spring when she would plant a new tree. As her mother did so, Toova looked to the clouds and beseeched Verrosa to set her free from her mother and to remove the taint of disease from the grove. In turn, she promised to be Verrosa's instrument without question. With that, a single bolt of lightning came crashing into her mother's tree, splitting it in two and scorching it completely. She praised the curing of the grove and then merged with her own healthy tree.<br /> <br /> The next spring, Toova emerged from her tree and was greeted with the rotting and decomposing remains of her mother and her mother's tree.

She believes that nature must be free of the sickness and taint caused by people. Nothing angers her more than seeing crafters destroy a herd of stags for their skins or cut down trees to make goods for sale. In Toova's eyes, people are the true taint of nature, and she is resolute in her belief that they must be dealt with to preserve the natural order.

This respect, however, is tempered by her deep-seated desire to be unleashed upon civilization, to tear down its structures and force a return to a more harmonious existence. Francheska, a wise and influential figure, holds her in check with the promise that the day will come when her dreams of reclaiming nature will be realized.<br /> <br /> What truly disgusts Toova is how some imprison nature for their own desires in wooden or stone structures that are unnatural to plants or animals. The thought of animals or plants being confined and controlled for human purposes fills her with rage. She views such acts as the ultimate betrayal of the natural world and vows to liberate any who are imprisoned in such a manner.<br /> <br /> Juju was one such animal. Captured and imprisoned in the city of Elysia, Juju had forgotten her true nature. Toova saved her from that life and taught her to embrace her true self and be one with nature. Since then, Juju has walked with Toova as a friend, not as an imprisoned and trained animal for others' amusement. Their bond is a testament to Toova's belief in the sanctity of nature and her commitment to freeing it from the grip of human hands.<br /> <br /> Toova's reputation among the Verossians is one of reverence and fear. She is known for performing rituals, including the most solemn and sacred blood rites when required. These ceremonies are not for public display but remain deeply private, a sacred exchange between Toova and Verossa. Each ritual she conducts is a profound act of faith and devotion, often performed under the cover of darkness or in secluded groves away from prying eyes.<br /> <br /> The blessings Toova bestows are never trivial or benign. When she communes with Verossa, it is with the gravest of intentions and purposes. She is known to seek the forces of destruction, and in response, destruction is granted to her, with no regard for collateral damage or innocent bystanders. Her presence is both revered and feared among the faithful. Tales of her power and the devastation she can invoke have spread far and wide. Many speak of forests set ablaze, storm-torn villages, and rivers that overflow their banks, all as a result of her supplications to Verossa. Her name is whispered with both awe and caution, for to incur her wrath, or the wrath of Verossa through her, is to invite calamity.<br /> <br /> Yet, Toova's motives are rooted in a deep, unshakeable belief in the natural order and the will of Verossa. She sees herself as an instrument of the Storm Mother's will, carrying out what she perceives as necessary acts to maintain the balance of nature. Toova's actions, though often extreme, are driven by a sense of duty and an unwavering conviction in the righteousness of her cause. Among her most devout followers, she is a figure of inspiration and power, a living testament to the might and majesty of Verossa. They gather around her, seeking her guidance and blessings, willing to follow her into the heart of the storm if she so commands. To them, Toova embodies the very essence of Verossa's will—fierce, unyielding, and bound by the sacred duty to protect and preserve the natural world, no matter the cost.<br /> <br /> == Illiterate ==<br /> Toova doesn't read or write any languages as she does not need them. All her correspondence is read and written for her by a trusted Verossian sister. She speaks in a combination of low fey, tribal common, and a language that only she and her mother could understand.

Her mother named her after what she desired most—a good daughter. Over the years, Toova was taught the ways of the Dryads and nature. Her mother taught her to commune with the trees and helped her plant her own Silvery Oak, making Toova believe that her life was entwined with the tree. This kept her from leaving the secluded grove, next to a nameless creek frozen for most of the year, in Tyedu.<br /> <br /> When other Fey traveled and found the secluded grove, Toova was allowed to visit and speak with them but had to hold her mother's hand, even as a teenager. If men stumbled upon the grove, Toova had to hide in her tree without argument. As she grew older and bolder, she spied on them to understand why. She began to wonder if one of them was her father. Each time she brought it up to her mother, it was met with outrage and anger, fearing she would leave to live with men.<br /> <br /> It was perhaps her seventeenth or twentieth winter when her life would change forever. Fall had shown all signs of being shorter than normal, and a harsh winter was upon them. The two made their preparations to survive the harshness. However, her mother, preoccupied with keeping her daughter in the grove and away from everything else, had neglected her own tree. Disease had set in: the leaves had yet to fall, and the once silvery bark was yellowing and weakening. The tree would not live through the winter, nor would it support her mother. Her mother showed the same signs of the disease, causing Toova a problem, as her mother's plan was for them to survive together within Toova's tree.<br /> <br /> As her mother made the final plans, she retreated into her own sickly tree to gather the essence of the Heartwood from deep within, to use in the spring when she would plant a new tree. As her mother did so, Toova looked to the clouds and beseeched Verrosa to set her free from her mother and to remove the taint of disease from the grove. In turn, she promised to be Verrosa's instrument without question. With that, a single bolt of lightning came crashing into her mother's tree, splitting it in two and scorching it completely. She praised the curing of the grove and then merged with her own healthy tree.<br /> <br /> The next spring, Toova emerged from her tree and was greeted with the rotting and decomposing remains of her mother and her mother's tree.

This isn't saying much, as she would love to be unleashed to destroy civilization and force a return to nature and harmony. Francheska holds her in check with the promise that day will come. What truly disgusts Toova is how some imprison nature for their own desires in wooden or stone structures that are unnatural to plants or animals.<br /> <br /> Juju was such an animal. Captured and imprisoned in the city of Elysia, Juju had forgotten her true nature. Toova saved her from that life and taught her to embrace her true self and be one with nature. Since then, Juju has walked with Toova as a friend, not as an imprisoned and trained animal for others' amusement.<br /> <br /> == Ritualist and Blessings ==<br /> Toova is known among the Verossians for her unwavering commitment to performing rituals, including the most solemn and sacred blood rites when required. These ceremonies are not for public spectacle but remain deeply private, a sacred exchange between Toova and Verossa. Each ritual she conducts is a profound act of faith and devotion, often performed under the cover of darkness or in secluded groves away from prying eyes.<br /> <br /> The blessings Toova bestows are never trivial or benign. When she communes with Verossa, it is with the gravest of intentions and purposes. She is known to seek the forces of destruction, and in response, destruction is granted to her, with no regard for collateral damage or innocent bystanders.<br /> <br /> Her presence is both revered and feared among the faithful. Tales of her power and the devastation she can invoke have spread far and wide. Many speak of forests set ablaze, storm-torn villages, and rivers that overflow their banks, all as a result of her supplications to Verossa. Her name is whispered with both awe and caution, for to incur her wrath, or the wrath of Verossa through her, is to invite calamity.<br /> <br /> Yet, Toova's motives are rooted in a deep, unshakeable belief in the natural order and the will of Verossa. She sees herself as an instrument of the Storm Mother's will, carrying out what she perceives as necessary acts to maintain the balance of nature. Toova's actions, though often extreme, are driven by a sense of duty and an unwavering conviction in the righteousness of her cause.<br /> <br /> Among her most devout followers, she is a figure of inspiration and power, a living testament to the might and majesty of Verossa. They gather around her, seeking her guidance and blessings, willing to follow her into the heart of the storm if she so commands. To them, Toova embodies the very essence of Verossa's will—fierce, unyielding, and bound by the sacred duty to protect and preserve the natural world, no matter the cost.<br /> <br /> == Illiterate ==<br /> Toova doesn't read or write any languages as she does not need them. All her correspondence is read and written for her by a trusted Verossian sister. She speaks in a combination of low fey, tribal common, and a language that only she and her mother could understand. She is known to create druidic and fey runes to express her desires and feelings.<br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Ju'Eir, Toova]]</div>

Her mother named her after what she desired most—a good daughter. Over the years, Toova was taught the ways of the Dryads and nature. Her mother taught her to commune with the trees and helped her plant her own Silvery Oak, making Toova believe that her life was entwined with the tree. This kept her from leaving the secluded grove, next to a nameless creek frozen for most of the year, in Tyedu.<br /> <br /> When other Fey traveled and found the secluded grove, Toova was allowed to visit and speak with them but had to hold her mother's hand, even as a teenager. If men stumbled upon the grove, Toova had to hide in her tree without argument. As she grew older and bolder, she spied on them to understand why. She began to wonder if one of them was her father. Each time she brought it up to her mother, it was met with outrage and anger, fearing she would leave to live with men.<br /> <br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/HOCMpR4.png<br /> |}It was perhaps her seventeenth or twentieth winter when her life would change forever. Fall had shown all signs of being shorter than normal, and a harsh winter was upon them. The two made their preparations to survive the harshness. However, her mother, preoccupied with keeping her daughter in the grove and away from everything else, had neglected her own tree. Disease had set in: the leaves had yet to fall, and the once silvery bark was yellowing and weakening. The tree would not live through the winter, nor would it support her mother. Her mother showed the same signs of the disease, causing Toova a problem, as her mother's plan was for them to survive together within Toova's tree.<br /> <br /> As her mother made the final plans, she retreated into her own sickly tree to gather the essence of the Heartwood from deep within, to use in the spring when she would plant a new tree. As her mother did so, Toova looked to the clouds and beseeched Verrosa to set her free from her mother and to remove the taint of disease from the grove. In turn, she promised to be Verrosa's instrument without question. With that, a single bolt of lightning came crashing into her mother's tree, splitting it in two and scorching it completely. She praised the curing of the grove and then merged with her own healthy tree.<br /> <br /> The next spring, Toova emerged from her tree and was greeted with the rotting and decomposing remains of her mother and her mother's tree. She was pleased, as it had returned to nature and allowed new life. She tended to her own tree, and upon the first acorns forming, she picked them up and did as her mother was doing when the lightning struck. Once she knew the acorns would survive travel, she departed her mother's grove, where her mother's corpse and tree were decomposing and returning to nature, along a mostly frozen stream that still had no name, in the lands of Tyedu.<br /> == Beliefs on Nature and Verossa ==<br /> Describing Toova as a zealot captures only a fraction of her devotion to Verossa. To Toova, Verossa embodies both life and death, having given her life by removing the unnatural taint from nature—her mother and her tree. On that day, Toova didn't merely accept Verossa; she came to see her as her mother. She follows the Storm Mother without question, fulfilling her desires. To her, nature must be free of the sickness and taint caused by people. Nothing angers her more than seeing crafters destroy a herd of stags for skins or cut down trees to make goods to sell. In Toova's eyes, people are the taint of nature and must be dealt with.<br /> <br /> While Toova despises cities, towns, and villages, she has found a measure of respect for many in T'Nanshi for living in harmony with nature rather than destroying it.

<p>Its me Gutemensch: /* Recent Events */</p> <hr /> <div>==Demographics==<br /> *Location: Northwestern M'Chek<br /> *Land Size: TBA<br /> *Population: TBA<br /> *Religions: Mixed; tending to good intentions<br /> *Exports: Beer and Leather<br /> *Colors: Black, Silver, and M'Chekian Blue<br /> *Sigil: The heads of a hawk and a silver dragon facing each other on a field of M'Chekian blue.<br /> <br /> ==History of Drakehall==<br /> <br /> === Early History ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was built many generations ago in the untamed wilderness of the M’Chekian grasslands and served as the first ancestral fortress of the powerful House Drake. The Drake’s carved out a name for themselves in the harsh and unforgiving wilds, and this fortress provided a beacon of safety and protection to the men and women living in this region.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> Situated in western M’Chek, the Keep is nestled in a shallow valley and is surrounded by low, sweeping hills and fertile farmlands. It borders Nelthropian lands and the Hills of the Order of the Way to the north, with Westshore and Bachwood edging its southern boundaries. The Keep is made of stone and is 2 stories in height, with a small watch tower built atop the southwest corner of the roof. Underground rooms provide storage and other necessities.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> As time passed, Drake’s power and influence grew and with it, a new port rose out of necessity nearby along the western coastline. Westshore was established and the Drake’s shifted their seat of power to that newly settled coastal settlement.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was still used by the Drakes and those loyal to their banner over the next few generations, but over time it was neglected and fell into disrepair.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Change in Ownership === <br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake of Westshore served as the ruling noble in House Drake. It can be reasoned that this power was not enough for him, and he craved more influence over M’Chek. To this end, he spearheaded efforts at what became plans for an eventual coup attempt.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Constantine’s plans for a coup focused on many fronts. He conspired with numerous individuals to kidnap the young nephew and niece from Chasworth Keep, Edgar and Audra Harwood, the heirs of Lord Tobias Chasworth, as well as General Cassius of the M’Chekian Army. Additionally, aided by General Percival Tate and the disgraced Colonel Tanners, there were many attempted assassinations of multiple nobles in key positions of power and influence. The men also flooded the southwest and the northwest M’Chekian countryside with bandits to sow panic and confusion within the general population.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> With the aid of a force hired by Prime Minister Deth and Lord Harvingdale, many nobles were protected from assassination attempts and they ultimately captured the elusive Lord of Westshore. The soldiers of the Skybolt Battalion subdued Lord Drake’s army and all the key players were in custody with the exception of General Tate, who evaded capture.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake was executed by hanging in the Garrison Square of Mikona, after being tried by a jury of his peers in the Noble House. Numerous charges were leveled against him and his co-conspirators including treason, conspiracy to murder more than a dozen nobles, kidnapping, and a number of other undisclosed crimes. Lord Drake did not swing by the neck that morning by himself; both Colonel Tanners and a mercenary named Geoffrey were executed alongside the disgraced noble.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Aftermath of Drake's Revolt ===<br /> <br /> In the wake of the death of Constantine Drake, the Noble House deemed it necessary to offer Lord Chasworth reparations for the injuries inflicted on his heirs while held captive by Lord Drake’s conspirators. Lord Chasworth was gifted several select pieces of ancestral Drake lands by the Noble House, specifically Drakehall and Drakeshore in western M’Chek.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Sir Thaylis Beign had just recently retired from serving as the Brigadier and commanding officer of the Blackhawk Brigade, and after some private discussions with Lord Chasworth, the former officer and Hero of M’Chek accepted a position as a vassal to the older man. Sir Thaylis Beign was granted stewardship of the Drake family's ancestral home and the lands surrounding it. With this new responsibility, he is entrusted to oversee the prosperity and welfare of Drakehall Keep and the loyal M’Chekian citizens who live in the surrounding holdings.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Once Sir Thaylis took control of Drakehall, many structural repairs needed to be carried out on the neglected fortress. The repairs were quickly made and Thaylis put a public notice out to the nation, asking for former Blackhawks to fill the ranks of a company of guardsmen needed to serve at Drakehall Keep. Nearly 2 dozen men and women answered the call to his banner. Additionally, Rickus va’Alor, priest to Toran, serves as the garrison commander of the Keep. In addition to these duties, Rickus had requested a small chaplet be built on the lands of Drakehall and to this end, roughly a dozen followers of Toran have joined him. They serve as part of the guard company as well.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> === Recent Events ===<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Lady Finmaegen's judgment over a group of Snorko's Dubunant half-orc army veterans, Drakehall Keep took into service 5 of their group to bolster the garrison, swelling the number to roughly 40 men and women. A newly built guard tower was constructed adjacent to the Keep, and all members of the company were given a silver insignia that identified them as Drakehall soldiers. <br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Dunster's Private war against the Thrope and its Cult of the Five Messengers, Drkahall claimed some 30 loyal M'Chekian troops that fled to Drakehall. With Lord Chasworth's loss of his ancestral home. Some 200 refugees have made the long journey to Drakehall.<br /> <br /> Following years of defending M'Chek, improving life around Drakehall and its lands, and quietly becoming a power in the Northwest of M'Chek. The Beigns were awarded noble titles and the lands and keep of Drakehall.<br /> <br /> === Current Status and Garrison ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall is at peace and maintains 3 full companies of guards; Dragon, Wyvern, and Hyrda. Along with the Rhapsody at full crew and readiness.<br /> <br /> === Squires and Pages ===<br /> There are several schools of thought in utilizing this kind of tutelage as we move forward in the political minefield we call the M’Chekian political system. Accepting to oversee the guardianship, education, and protection of a young noble is a huge responsibility for the House involved but the rewards this action can reap are beyond measure, for both Houses involved. This idea can forge new alliances and strengthen existing ones, and there is a certain prestige associated with becoming a Knight of M’Chek.<br /> <br /> The young noble benefits in many ways; to learn firsthand the inner workings of running a House, keep, or hold. As a Page, their education continues (or begins) in reading and writing, mathematics, and sciences. They see firsthand how to manage people efficiently, gain a basic understanding of finances and politics, and are exposed to a myriad of other tasks involved in operating a House of the M’Chekian nation. As Squires, young nobles begin their education in becoming a soldier; training in weapons, horsemanship, combat, tactics, and a host of other disciplines prepares the teen to one day become a leader amongst his peers. Specialties, including but not limited to archery, scouting, and woodlore can be explored if the young person shows a particular interest in that type of training.<br /> <br /> The young Orien Finmaegen, age 10, has been recently fostered by the Beign's at Drakehall Keep. It has been rumored he will spend the next two years under the care and guidance of the Keep's Master Steward, Roberts Brindle. Once the young man reaches 12 summers, Orien will then transition into becoming the Squire of Thaylis for the next three years, where he will learn a multitude of disciplines to prepare him to become the Lord of House Finmaegen. <br /> == Works of Art, Artifacts, Gifts, and Trophies ==<br /> <br /> ===Paintings===<br /> <br /> The Elysian Dragon Wing by Elwin&lt;br&gt;<br /> Official Wedding Portrait of the Beigns by Selona Xilrel&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Rhapsody - First Kill at the Battle of Isle of the Dreadnought by Adriel Belsley of Westshore&lt;br&gt;<br /> Lord Chasworth by Friedhelm of Mikona&lt;br&gt;<br /> The Wedding by Anhaern Herkian&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Rhapsody - Maiden Voyage by Adriel Belsley of Westshore&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Garden by [[PCs:Aneirin Menelaos|Aneirin]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> That Painting by Unknown &lt;br&gt;<br /> Allikar and Ammika wait for Abbikar by [[PCs:Nawen Amakiir|Nawen Beign]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> Flower Arrangement by Arena of Dre'Ana&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sunflowers in the Gardens by [[PCs:Nawen Amakiir|Nawen Beign]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Artifacts===<br /> Throne of the Drakes&lt;br&gt;<br /> Written History of Drakehall&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Scale Armour, Sandstone&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Scale Armour, Granite&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Scale Armour, Coal&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Scale Armour, Amber&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Statues and Stoneworks===<br /> Ursula's Bench - A bench located in the graveyard that has an enduring poem engraved into the stone.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Giftts===<br /> [[PCs:Fergus Goodmane|Fergus]]'s Angurvadal (which he was gifted from Dame [[PCs:Moira Celyn Windspar|Moira]])&lt;br&gt;<br /> Kurathene Harp given by Rickus to Nawen&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Battle Field Trophies===<br /> Dawn of Terror's Bell with the song ''It don't float no more'' by [[PCs:Aneirin Menelaos|Aneirin Menelaos]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> Snorko's Maul&lt;br&gt;<br /> River Stones&lt;br&gt;<br /> Banner from the ship Magenta&lt;br&gt;<br /> Banner from the ship Ebony Rose&lt;br&gt;<br /> Banner from the ship Nauticus&lt;br&gt;<br /> Unknown ship's wheel from the Battle of Isle of the Dreadnought&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Amenities of Drakehall ==<br /> Drakehall Keep, while a military keep and has barracks for its troops.

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Mortal Magic|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts.

<p>Its me Gutemensch: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Book}}<br /> <br /> TITLE: Truth: An Essay<br /> Written by Sage Ammikia<br /> <br /> <br /> Throughout history, the concept of truth has been a subject of intense philosophical debate among sages. Many sages argue that truth is always relative, meaning that its perception and interpretation vary depending on perspective, culture, and individual experiences. This essay will explore the relativistic nature of truth, discussing the different perspectives on the subject and how it impacts various aspects of life.<br /> <br /> Firstly, one must acknowledge that truth is a socially constructed concept. In today's multicultural world, different societies hold distinct beliefs, values, and norms. Consequently, their notions of truth diverge significantly. For instance, what may be considered a universal truth in one culture may not hold the same weight in another. The relativistic view recognizes this diversity and maintains that truth is shaped by cultural context. Therefore, an understanding of truth must encompass an appreciation for the various perspectives and interpretations that different societies bring to the table.<br /> <br /> Moreover, the subjectivity of truth is embedded in individual experiences. Each person has a unique set of beliefs, background knowledge, and personal history that color their understanding of truth. As garden sage Rosa Whitebelle proudly stated, &quot;There are no truths, just opinions, everyone has them just like they do assholes.&quot; This highlights the inherent variability of truth, as it is filtered through subjective eyes. One's experiences and biases heavily influence their perception of reality, leading to differing interpretations of what is true and what is not.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, truth often exists within a continuum, rather than a fixed point. Different degrees of truth can be attributed to certain statements or beliefs. For instance, the statement &quot;This is Elf Gate crazy!&quot; may be deemed true in the context of strange moments at Fort Karr. This relative nature of truth challenges the notion of absolute truth, suggesting that its validity is dependent on various factors, such as time, location, and circumstances. Recognizing this relativity is crucial in fostering open-mindedness and challenging our preconceived notions.<br /> <br /> However, the subjectivity of truth does not render it completely arbitrary. While truth may be relative, it is not entirely divorced from objectivity. Herbalist research, for example, aims to uncover objective truths about the world. The method provides a systematic approach to gathering evidence, forming hypotheses, and concluding. Although understanding evolves, it offers a shared framework within which objective truths can be established. Thus, though truth may be relative in many contexts, there are still instances where objective truths can be discovered through empirical investigation.<br /> <br /> In conclusion, the idea that truth is always relative holds merit when considering the diverse cultural perspectives and subjective interpretations that shape our understanding of reality. However, this relativity does not negate the existence of objective truths in certain domains, such as scientific research. Acknowledging the relativistic nature of truth encourages intellectual humility, compassion, and a willingness to embrace multiple perspectives. Ultimately, the study of truth invites us to engage in critical thinking, consider alternative viewpoints, and challenge our own biases - characteristics essential in the pursuit of knowledge and growth.<br /> <br /> ~In proper blue ink is the sigil of Drakehall and ‘PRINTED IN ELYISA AT PUBlishing House’ ~<br /> [[Category:Essays]]<br /> [[Category:Books|Truth: An Essay]]</div>

Consider this text to be a prompt to be more creative in your views and critical problem-solving. To step out of the traditional ways and help you to forge paths and ways all your own. Be warned that once you step into doing things differently you will run a higher chance of property damage, the ire of wizards, friends exploding, and/or troubling explanations to Toranites or city officials. Don’t let that dissuade you from dreaming.<br /> <br /> <br /> On lightning brought on by natural storms. Often, I travel a lot by means of ships, dragons, and beetles. Sudden storms are a danger to be avoided. Sometimes they can’t be avoided, that is where thinking in new ways comes into being. If one is trained to a degree that their understanding of the arts is deeper than most and more observant than most. Then you might feel the electricity in the air and the nature of its charge. With practice, one can feel these shifts and start to see the lightning before it happens. If one is fast, it's only a matter of flipping charge within the air. In doing this, you are not defeating the lightning but redirecting it to strike elsewhere. This comes into practice when traveling at the spur of the moment to far-off lands and can be very helpful in protecting your means of transport and travel mates.<br /> <br /> <br /> On engines and other gnomish things that require power. At times, simply waving your hands and twiddling your fingers is just what is required. To gather the available charge in the surrounding air and harness it to become the force in some strange gnomish creation that requires more than my underwear to sustain itself. One can also, if they are deft with their fingers and aware of the charges. Can drain power sources by creating a pathway that encourages the electrical charge to draw away from its intended purpose and disburse elsewhere in a safe 'Ish manner. This I’ve done before and is best done alone given the dangers and the amount of current flowing freely around you. Others will explode if not properly controlled.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> On crafting and the ways of making things less boring. I’ve taken part in producing weapons where the forge is powered and maintained by a pyromancer, a cryomancer, and an aeromancer. Our task was to maintain and contain an unthinkable amount of heat and not melt the forge. Don’t limit yourself to the forge. If fire heats materials and ice chills materials; then what would electricity serve in the making of stuff and things? New ways of binding regents to create stronger concoctions? Aiding in separating regents from their current state? Helping in the infusing of helpful elixirs into mediums not normally associated with them?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> On apparel and dressing for the magic to take place. One of the biggest dangers in aeromancy is controlling what you are focusing on. Electricity jumps quickly and if one doesn’t pay attention it will jump in directions you didn’t plan for. Be mindful of what accents your outfits and jewelry. One doesn’t need to be in mid-incantation and have their lightning orb crash into them because the necklace around their neck attracts it or your chain lightning arc across your fingers due to your rings and bracelets being more conductive than orcs. If that happens, you get a lovely scar marking you as an aeromancer; I have more than my share of them. Currently and for future publishing, I am working on nail polish infused with metal powders to aid in the focus and control of the elemental power.<br /> <br /> <br /> On instruments and stage for this to take place, one must practice this before stepping on the stage. Most venues take a stance against shocking their patrons and propriety damages. I have experimented with metal strings in most of my lutes and harps to create a different sound. I should note that you should use a pick of sorts. I prefer to use craved gem ones as they add a little something and oh oh-so-stylish. I should state that if one uses their talents in this on the stage to make sure when others share the stage with you. That they know when and where it’s going to happen. Nothing says “CANCELED” across the play’s poster like a shocked to her bones co-star that refuses to take the stage again. Not sorry Poppy and there is more to come.<br /> <br /> <br /> There is no ending to this book, just a moment to consider and dream of what comes next. Don’t be limited by what’s known and acceptable. Explore magic and your place within the wandering dream. Also, practice safely and have a friend that you trust nearby but out of range in case your powers flow back into you but remind them to poke you with a stick first. Failures are just chances to learn more and should never stop one from trying.<br /> <br /> <br /> About the Author: Ammika Beign (known as Nawen Beign outside the Gardens) is a member of House Wildfire and a former founding member of the Magisterium. Known to be one of the wilder, more creative, and more dangerous of those trained in Aeromancer as stated by those she travels with.

Imagine your mind as a hallowed space, a sanctuary where magic takes root. Here’s how:<br /> <br /> <br /> Purify Your Thoughts: Sweep away mental clutter. Release worries, doubts, and mundane concerns. Imagine a gentle broom sweeping through the corridors of your mind, leaving only sacred echoes.<br /> <br /> <br /> Meditation and Grounding: Sit in stillness. Breathe. Feel the ground beneath you, its ancient pulse connecting you to realms unseen. Ground your energy, anchoring it like roots seeking nourishment.<br /> <br /> <br /> Set Your Intention: Clearly state your purpose. What do you seek? Healing? Insight? Transformation? Protection? Let your intention resonate within you, like a bell ringing across the Not Here but There.<br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2: The Alchemy of Focus<br /> <br /> <br /> Your mind is the philosopher’s stone, capable of transmuting thoughts into reality. Sharpen your mental blade:<br /> Visualization: Close your eyes. See the ritual unfolding—the flicker of candles, the scent of incense, the symbols etching themselves upon the fabric of existence. Immerse your senses in the theater of your mind.<br /> <br /> <br /> Affirmations: Craft potent affirmations of your own words. Speak them aloud and with real passion. “With the birthright of Autumn and the love of Winter.” “I shall dance in the storms.” Let each word resonate, weaving spells within spells within runes, within yourself.<br /> <br /> <br /> Boundary Setting: Imagine a shimmering circle around you—a membrane between worlds. Declare it sacred. No negativity shall breach its perimeter. You are the guardian of this veil and all name-sayers should be removed.<br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3: Invoking the Inner Watchers<br /> <br /> <br /> Call upon the protectors of the mind—the four winds that stir the cauldron of consciousness:<br /> <br /> <br /> East: Whisper to the breeze. Seek clarity, inspiration, and swift thoughts. Invoke the winged messengers the sylphs and griffins who ride the currents of intellect.<br /> <br /> <br /> South: Ignite your passion. Invoke the salamanders, the flames that consume doubt. Let your will blaze like a forge, shaping reality.<br /> <br /> <br /> West: Dive into the depths. Invoke the undines, the watery muses of the Sirens and Mermaids. Embrace intuition, dreams, and the tides of emotion.<br /> <br /> <br /> North: Stand firm. Invoke the ancient stones and the Gynosphinx for they remember. Root yourself in stability, wisdom, and ancestral memory.<br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 4: The Silence Between Words<br /> <br /> <br /> In the pauses, magic thrives. Listen to the spaces between breaths, the stillness between thoughts. Here, the veils thins. Here, the unseen dances.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Void Meditation: Sit in darkness. Imagine the void—the vastness. In its emptiness, find potential. Let go of form, and let the formless guide you.<br /> <br /> <br /> Dreamscapes: Before sleep, set your intention. Invite visions, messages, and encounters. Your dreams are portals. Explore them with reverence.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Unfinished Spell: Sometimes, the most potent magic lies in the unfinished. Leave room for mystery. Let the ritual linger, its echoes resonating beyond the closing words.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The mind, like the night sky, is infinite. Prepare it well, and the stars shall heed your call.<br /> <br /> <br /> *On the last page is stamped in proper blue ink with a dash of sparkles the following &quot;Printed in Elysia, at PUBlishing House with the sigil of Drakehall is centered above it. *<br /> <br /> <br /> About the Author; Ammika Beign, known by most as Nawen.

<p>Its me Gutemensch: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Book}}<br /> {{ICPOV}}<br /> <br /> The Unseen Veils: A Fey's Guide to the Art of Ritual Magix; The Alchemy of Ingredients<br /> <br /> *All the pages in this book are made of pressed flowers in the Fey traditional style and have little stamps of butterflies all over them; with an autumn one at the bottom center of every page. *<br /> <br /> Embark on a mystical journey as we delve into the art of preparing one’s mind for a magical ritual.

Here are the foundational writings to illuminate your path into the unseen veils of the Fey ~Ammikia Begin<br /> <br /> <br /> The Unseen Veils: A Fey's Guide to the Art of Ritual Magix; The Alchemy of Ingredients<br /> <br /> In the sacred cauldron of magix, ingredients weave the fabric of spells. Each herb, crystal, and candle holds a secret resonance—a language spoken in whispers across realms. Let us delve into the mystical pantry and uncover the essence of magical ingredients:<br /> <br /> <br /> 1. Candle Magix: Illuminating Intentions<br /> <br /> <br /> Candle Wax: Choose your medium wisely. Beeswax, the golden elixir, burns long and true, carrying the memory of sun-kissed flowers. Petal wax, humble and versatile, cradles scents like a lover’s embrace. Tallow, born from death, dances with controversy.<br /> <br /> <br /> Magixal Objects in Candles: As the wax melts, infuse it with intention. Add coins for abundance, old earrings for prosperity, or herb powders for healing. Let your candle become a vessel of transformation.<br /> <br /> <br /> 2. Herbology: The Green Alchemy<br /> <br /> <br /> Rose Petals: Symbolize love, passion, and beauty.<br /> <br /> <br /> Caladium: Let it rot and decay. As it is wonderful at absorbing magix that is unwanted.<br /> <br /> <br /> Rosemary: The guardian of memory, it clears energy and invokes clarity. Burn rosemary as incense or add it to sachets.<br /> <br /> <br /> Wintermint: Revives stagnant energy. Brew peppermint tea for divination or place leaves under your pillow for vivid dreams.<br /> <br /> <br /> Lavender: The whisper of serenity. Lavender sachets under your pillow invite peaceful sleep and prophetic visions.<br /> <br /> <br /> 3. Kitchen Witchery: Spices and Brews<br /> <br /> <br /> Vanilla: Ignites emotions deep within you. Stir it into potions or sprinkle it around your sacred space.<br /> <br /> <br /> Garlic: A potent protector. Hang garlic braids over doorways or use them in banishing spells.<br /> <br /> <br /> Stinning Nettle: Prosperity’s ally. Lay upon your clothing and altar to strengthen your magix and for the protection they offer.<br /> <br /> <br /> Roses: Love’s petals. Infuse rosewater for anointing or scatter dried rose petals in love spells.<br /> <br /> <br /> 4. Crystal Allies: Songstones<br /> <br /> <br /> Clear Quartz: The amplifier. Charge it with your intention and let it magnify your magix.<br /> <br /> <br /> Amethyst: The dreamweaver. Place it under your pillow for lucid dreams and spiritual insights.<br /> <br /> <br /> Topaz: The sun’s laughter. Keep it in your prosperity corner or carry it for abundance.<br /> <br /> <br /> Emerald: The shield. Wear it as a talisman or place it near your magical workspace.<br /> <br /> <br /> 5. Personal Tokens: Essence of Self<br /> <br /> <br /> Hair or Nail Clippings: Threads of your essence. Use them in sympathetic magic or protection spells.<br /> <br /> <br /> Belongs: Windows to the soul. Anoint them with oils or place them on your altar for connection.<br /> <br /> <br /> Written Intentions: Ink your desires onto paper. Burn them under the moon or bury them in the earth.<br /> <br /> <br /> Remember, dear seeker, every ingredient vibrates with its own story. Listen closely, for they whisper ancient spells into your hands.

In this enchanting tome, we’ll explore the ancient wisdom and practices of the Fey, guiding you through the labyrinthine corridors of consciousness. Here are the foundational writings to illuminate your path into the unseen veils of the Fey ~Ammikia Begin<br /> <br /> <br /> The Unseen Veils: A Fey's Guide to the Art of Ritual Magix; The Alchemy of Ingredients<br /> <br /> In the sacred cauldron of magix, ingredients weave the fabric of spells. Each herb, crystal, and candle holds a secret resonance—a language spoken in whispers across realms. Let us delve into the mystical pantry and uncover the essence of magical ingredients:<br /> <br /> <br /> 1. Candle Magix: Illuminating Intentions<br /> <br /> <br /> Candle Wax: Choose your medium wisely. Beeswax, the golden elixir, burns long and true, carrying the memory of sun-kissed flowers. Petal wax, humble and versatile, cradles scents like a lover’s embrace. Tallow, born from death, dances with controversy.<br /> <br /> <br /> Magixal Objects in Candles: As the wax melts, infuse it with intention. Add coins for abundance, old earrings for prosperity, or herb powders for healing. Let your candle become a vessel of transformation.<br /> <br /> <br /> 2. Herbology: The Green Alchemy<br /> <br /> <br /> Rose Petals: Symbolize love, passion, and beauty.<br /> <br /> <br /> Caladium: Let it rot and decay. As it is wonderful at absorbing magix that is unwanted.<br /> <br /> <br /> Rosemary: The guardian of memory, it clears energy and invokes clarity. Burn rosemary as incense or add it to sachets.<br /> <br /> <br /> Wintermint: Revives stagnant energy. Brew peppermint tea for divination or place leaves under your pillow for vivid dreams.<br /> <br /> <br /> Lavender: The whisper of serenity. Lavender sachets under your pillow invite peaceful sleep and prophetic visions.<br /> <br /> <br /> 3. Kitchen Witchery: Spices and Brews<br /> <br /> <br /> Vanilla: Ignites emotions deep within you. Stir it into potions or sprinkle it around your sacred space.<br /> <br /> <br /> Garlic: A potent protector. Hang garlic braids over doorways or use them in banishing spells.<br /> <br /> <br /> Stinning Nettle: Prosperity’s ally. Lay upon your clothing and altar to strengthen your magix and for the protection they offer.<br /> <br /> <br /> Roses: Love’s petals. Infuse rosewater for anointing or scatter dried rose petals in love spells.<br /> <br /> <br /> 4. Crystal Allies: Songstones<br /> <br /> <br /> Clear Quartz: The amplifier. Charge it with your intention and let it magnify your magix.<br /> <br /> <br /> Amethyst: The dreamweaver. Place it under your pillow for lucid dreams and spiritual insights.<br /> <br /> <br /> Topaz: The sun’s laughter. Keep it in your prosperity corner or carry it for abundance.<br /> <br /> <br /> Emerald: The shield. Wear it as a talisman or place it near your magical workspace.<br /> <br /> <br /> 5. Personal Tokens: Essence of Self<br /> <br /> <br /> Hair or Nail Clippings: Threads of your essence. Use them in sympathetic magic or protection spells.<br /> <br /> <br /> Belongs: Windows to the soul. Anoint them with oils or place them on your altar for connection.<br /> <br /> <br /> Written Intentions: Ink your desires onto paper. Burn them under the moon or bury them in the earth.<br /> <br /> <br /> Remember, dear seeker, every ingredient vibrates with its own story. Listen closely, for they whisper ancient spells into your hands. Assemble your magical pantry, and may your brews dance with stardust and wonder.<br /> <br /> <br /> The alchemy of ingredients awaits your touch.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> *On the last page is stamped in proper blue ink with a dash of sparkles the following &quot;Printed in Elysia, at PUBlishing House with the sigil of Drakehall is centered above it. *<br /> <br /> About the Author; Ammika Beign, known by most as Nawen.

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Mortal Magic|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few.

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Mortal Magic|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts. Not only has she become an avid horseback rider but is also one of the three top riders at Hoffy's Bish Bash races.<br /> <br /> == Bardic Works ==<br /> === Songs, Poems, and Published Books ===<br /> {| <br /> !

<p>Its me Gutemensch: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Book}}<br /> <br /> TITLE: Truth: An Essay<br /> Written by Sage Ammikia<br /> <br /> <br /> Throughout history, the concept of truth has been a subject of intense philosophical debate among sages. Many sages argue that truth is always relative, meaning that its perception and interpretation vary depending on perspective, culture, and individual experiences. This essay will explore the relativistic nature of truth, discussing the different perspectives on the subject and how it impacts various aspects of life.<br /> <br /> Firstly, one must acknowledge that truth is a socially constructed concept. In today's multicultural world, different societies hold distinct beliefs, values, and norms. Consequently, their notions of truth diverge significantly. For instance, what may be considered a universal truth in one culture may not hold the same weight in another. The relativistic view recognizes this diversity and maintains that truth is shaped by cultural context. Therefore, an understanding of truth must encompass an appreciation for the various perspectives and interpretations that different societies bring to the table.<br /> <br /> Moreover, the subjectivity of truth is embedded in individual experiences. Each person has a unique set of beliefs, background knowledge, and personal history that color their understanding of truth. As garden sage Rosa Whitebelle proudly stated, &quot;There are no truths, just opinions, everyone has them just like they do assholes.&quot; This highlights the inherent variability of truth, as it is filtered through subjective eyes. One's experiences and biases heavily influence their perception of reality, leading to differing interpretations of what is true and what is not.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, truth often exists within a continuum, rather than a fixed point. Different degrees of truth can be attributed to certain statements or beliefs. For instance, the statement &quot;This is Elf Gate crazy!&quot; may be deemed true in the context of strange moments at Fort Karr. This relative nature of truth challenges the notion of absolute truth, suggesting that its validity is dependent on various factors, such as time, location, and circumstances. Recognizing this relativity is crucial in fostering open-mindedness and challenging our preconceived notions.<br /> <br /> However, the subjectivity of truth does not render it completely arbitrary. While truth may be relative, it is not entirely divorced from objectivity. Herbalist research, for example, aims to uncover objective truths about the world. The method provides a systematic approach to gathering evidence, forming hypotheses, and concluding. Although understanding evolves, it offers a shared framework within which objective truths can be established. Thus, though truth may be relative in many contexts, there are still instances where objective truths can be discovered through empirical investigation.<br /> <br /> In conclusion, the idea that truth is always relative holds merit when considering the diverse cultural perspectives and subjective interpretations that shape our understanding of reality. However, this relativity does not negate the existence of objective truths in certain domains, such as scientific research. Acknowledging the relativistic nature of truth encourages intellectual humility, compassion, and a willingness to embrace multiple perspectives. Ultimately, the study of truth invites us to engage in critical thinking, consider alternative viewpoints, and challenge our own biases - characteristics essential in the pursuit of knowledge and growth.<br /> <br /> ~In proper blue ink is the sigil of Drakehall and ‘PRINTED IN ELYISA AT PUBlishing House’ ~<br /> <br /> [[Category:Books|Truth: An Essay]]</div>

The Elysian Ritual of (RE)Warding took on the design of belief. Belief in what we are doing to protect others by harnessing the power of our faiths to create the wards. In planning the ritual the idea of conducting it as one would musicians came to mind. By arranging the prayers of those taking part in the ritual into a single prayer that will be conducted and arranged with magical empowerment and blessings of trained priest and priestess.<br /> <br /> Ritual Text:<br /> <br /> Lord O'Ma, we follow You joyfully and You protect and guide us&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Heavenly Dra'Nar, son of O'ma, the Father of Fey&lt;BR&gt;<br /> We pray to the Harpinger, the Shepherd at the Veil&lt;BR&gt;<br /> We beseech you Cha'reth&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Lady Dre'Ana and Lord Dra'Nar, we beseech You both&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Dru'El, you teach us to follow our path&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Gorethar, I pray to you, not as one of your holiest of warriors, but as a girl who has found solace in faith her whole life&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Great Hunter, I call on you to safeguard your Father's City from the Dark&lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> Help us in our hour of need.

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Mortal Magic|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts. Not only has she become an avid horseback rider but is also one of the three top riders at Hoffy's Bish Bash races.<br /> <br /> == Bardic Works ==<br /> === Songs, Poems, and Published Books ===<br /> {| <br /> !

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Mortal Magic|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts.

<p>Its me Gutemensch: </p> <hr /> <div>==Demographics==<br /> *Location: Northwestern M'Chek<br /> *Land Size: TBA<br /> *Population: TBA<br /> *Religions: Mixed; tending to good intentions<br /> *Exports: Beer and Leather<br /> *Colors: Black, Silver, and M'Chekian Blue<br /> *Sigil: The heads of a hawk and a silver dragon facing each other on a field of M'Chekian blue.<br /> <br /> ==History of Drakehall==<br /> <br /> === Early History ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was built many generations ago in the untamed wilderness of the M’Chekian grasslands and served as the first ancestral fortress of the powerful House Drake. The Drake’s carved out a name for themselves in the harsh and unforgiving wilds, and this fortress provided a beacon of safety and protection to the men and women living in this region.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> Situated in western M’Chek, the Keep is nestled in a shallow valley and is surrounded by low, sweeping hills and fertile farmlands. It borders Nelthropian lands and the Hills of the Order of the Way to the north, with Westshore and Bachwood edging its southern boundaries. The Keep is made of stone and is 2 stories in height, with a small watch tower built atop the southwest corner of the roof. Underground rooms provide storage and other necessities.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> As time passed, Drake’s power and influence grew and with it, a new port rose out of necessity nearby along the western coastline. Westshore was established and the Drake’s shifted their seat of power to that newly settled coastal settlement.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was still used by the Drakes and those loyal to their banner over the next few generations, but over time it was neglected and fell into disrepair.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Change in Ownership === <br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake of Westshore served as the ruling noble in House Drake. It can be reasoned that this power was not enough for him, and he craved more influence over M’Chek. To this end, he spearheaded efforts at what became plans for an eventual coup attempt.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Constantine’s plans for a coup focused on many fronts. He conspired with numerous individuals to kidnap the young nephew and niece from Chasworth Keep, Edgar and Audra Harwood, the heirs of Lord Tobias Chasworth, as well as General Cassius of the M’Chekian Army. Additionally, aided by General Percival Tate and the disgraced Colonel Tanners, there were many attempted assassinations of multiple nobles in key positions of power and influence. The men also flooded the southwest and the northwest M’Chekian countryside with bandits to sow panic and confusion within the general population.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> With the aid of a force hired by Prime Minister Deth and Lord Harvingdale, many nobles were protected from assassination attempts and they ultimately captured the elusive Lord of Westshore. The soldiers of the Skybolt Battalion subdued Lord Drake’s army and all the key players were in custody with the exception of General Tate, who evaded capture.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake was executed by hanging in the Garrison Square of Mikona, after being tried by a jury of his peers in the Noble House. Numerous charges were leveled against him and his co-conspirators including treason, conspiracy to murder more than a dozen nobles, kidnapping, and a number of other undisclosed crimes. Lord Drake did not swing by the neck that morning by himself; both Colonel Tanners and a mercenary named Geoffrey were executed alongside the disgraced noble.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Aftermath of Drake's Revolt ===<br /> <br /> In the wake of the death of Constantine Drake, the Noble House deemed it necessary to offer Lord Chasworth reparations for the injuries inflicted on his heirs while held captive by Lord Drake’s conspirators. Lord Chasworth was gifted several select pieces of ancestral Drake lands by the Noble House, specifically Drakehall and Drakeshore in western M’Chek.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Sir Thaylis Beign had just recently retired from serving as the Brigadier and commanding officer of the Blackhawk Brigade, and after some private discussions with Lord Chasworth, the former officer and Hero of M’Chek accepted a position as a vassal to the older man. Sir Thaylis Beign was granted stewardship of the Drake family's ancestral home and the lands surrounding it. With this new responsibility, he is entrusted to oversee the prosperity and welfare of Drakehall Keep and the loyal M’Chekian citizens who live in the surrounding holdings.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Once Sir Thaylis took control of Drakehall, many structural repairs needed to be carried out on the neglected fortress. The repairs were quickly made and Thaylis put a public notice out to the nation, asking for former Blackhawks to fill the ranks of a company of guardsmen needed to serve at Drakehall Keep. Nearly 2 dozen men and women answered the call to his banner. Additionally, Rickus va’Alor, priest to Toran, serves as the garrison commander of the Keep. In addition to these duties, Rickus had requested a small chaplet be built on the lands of Drakehall and to this end, roughly a dozen followers of Toran have joined him. They serve as part of the guard company as well.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> === Recent Events ===<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Lady Finmaegen's judgment over a group of Snorko's Dubunant half-orc army veterans, Drakehall Keep took into service 5 of their group to bolster the garrison, swelling the number to roughly 40 men and women. A newly built guard tower was constructed adjacent to the Keep, and all members of the company were given a silver insignia that identified them as Drakehall soldiers. <br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Dunster's Private war against the Thrope and its Cult of the Five Messengers, Drkahall claimed some 30 loyal M'Chekian troops that fled to Drakehall. With Lord Chasworth's loss of his ancestral home. Some 200 refugees have made the long journey to Drakehall.<br /> <br /> === Current Status and Garrison ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall is at peace and maintains 3 full companies of guards; Dragon, Wyvern, and Hyrda. Along with the Rhsaspody at full crew and readiness.<br /> <br /> ====Squires and Pages====<br /> There are several schools of thought in utilizing this kind of tutelage as we move forward in the political minefield we call the M’Chekian political system. Accepting to oversee the guardianship, education, and protection of a young noble is a huge responsibility for the House involved but the rewards this action can reap are beyond measure, for both Houses involved. This idea can forge new alliances and strengthen existing ones, and there is a certain prestige associated with becoming a Knight of M’Chek.<br /> <br /> The young noble benefits in many ways; to learn firsthand the inner workings of running a House, keep, or hold. As a Page, their education continues (or begins) in reading and writing, mathematics, and sciences. They see firsthand how to manage people efficiently, gain a basic understanding of finances and politics, and are exposed to a myriad of other tasks involved in operating a House of the M’Chekian nation. As Squires, young noblemen begin their education in becoming a soldier; training in weapons, horsemanship, combat, tactics, and a host of other disciplines prepares the teen to one day become a leader amongst his peers. Specialties, including but not limited to archery, scouting, and woodlore can be explored if the young person shows a particular interest in that type of training.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Works of Art, Artifacts, Gifts, and Trophies ==<br /> <br /> ===Paintings===<br /> <br /> The Elysian Dragon Wing by Elwin&lt;br&gt;<br /> Official Wedding Portrait of the Beigns by Selona Xilrel&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Rhapsody - First Kill at the Battle of Isle of the Dreadnought by Adriel Belsley of Westshore&lt;br&gt;<br /> Lord Chasworth by Friedhelm of Mikona&lt;br&gt;<br /> The Wedding by Anhaern Herkian&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Rhapsody - Maiden Voyage by Adriel Belsley of Westshore&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Garden by [[PCs:Aneirin Menelaos|Aneirin]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> That Painting by Unknown &lt;br&gt;<br /> Allikar and Ammika wait for Abbikar by [[PCs:Nawen Amakiir|Nawen Beign]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> Flower Arrangement by Arena of Dre'Ana&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sunflowers in the Gardens by [[PCs:Nawen Amakiir|Nawen Beign]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Artifacts===<br /> Throne of the Drakes&lt;br&gt;<br /> Written History of Drakehall&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Scale Armour, Sandstone&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Scale Armour, Granite&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Scale Armour, Coal&lt;br&gt;<br /> Dragon Scale Armour, Amber&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Statues and Stoneworks===<br /> Ursula's Bench - A bench located in the graveyard that has an enduring poem engraved into the stone.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Giftts===<br /> [[PCs:Fergus Goodmane|Fergus]]'s Angurvadal (which he was gifted from Dame [[PCs:Moira Celyn Windspar|Moira]])&lt;br&gt;<br /> Kurathene Harp given by Rickus to Nawen&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Battle Field Trophies===<br /> Dawn of Terror's Bell with the song ''It don't float no more'' by [[PCs:Aneirin Menelaos|Aneirin Menelaos]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> Snorko's Maul&lt;br&gt;<br /> River Stones&lt;br&gt;<br /> Banner from the ship Magenta&lt;br&gt;<br /> Banner from the ship Ebony Rose&lt;br&gt;<br /> Banner from the ship Nauticus&lt;br&gt;<br /> Unknown ship's wheel from the Battle of Isle of the Dreadnought&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Amenities of Drakehall ==<br /> Drakehall Keep, while a military keep and has barracks for its troops.

They parted ways on to new ventures.<br /> <br /> === Drakehall Exchange ===<br /> After failing to obtain a prime location in the Mikona Marketplace.

Her company complete with her gun crews can number around 45-50 sailors depending upon her mission. She maintains anchorage in [[Drake Cove]], within the shadow of Drakehall Keep. Operates in the Western Seas and the bay between M'Chek and Toran Shaarda. She can also make her way up the Eridanian River to Elysia and Ferrell.<br /> <br /> She was acquired through known salvage laws of the sea by Rickus va'Alor and appears in the ship registries in Mikona under the name of Dragon Rhapsody. Her original name was Flaming Chicken. Her first kill was at the Battle of Isle of the Dreadnought of an unknown Orcish vessel. Later she teamed up with the Ebony Rose and took on the Nauticus and defeated the Nauticus; the Ebony Rose was lost in action. She spends her time patrolling the bay and waters between Westshore and Toran Shaarda.<br /> <br /> *High Captain Honeybreeze - This Avariel rose to the top of several promising candidates and she was selected to command the Dragon Rhapsody.<br /> <br /> *Bronson - (human) First Mate - His quick wit is only surpassed by his love of the high sea.

She was acquired from Captain Black after the Dauntless was burned. The crew of the Dauntless stormed and took the Magenta for their own and used it to tow the Dauntless back to the mainland. Where it was sold to Drakehall. Her battery of some 10 cannons was removed and transported to Drakehall for security reasons. Given her familiar rigging and lines. It was almost impossible to sail her out of T'Nanshi cove into M'Chekian waters without the M'Chekian Navy spotting her and intercepting her. Even with papers filed in Mikona stating she was Drakehall property did little to stop this. In the end, the Magenta was renamed &quot;Rose of Dre'Ana&quot; and sailed to Myleah, Jechran to be sold to the Starbloods and become the flagship of the Jerchanian Navy.<br /> <br /> == Key Figures of Drakehall Keep ==<br /> <br /> ===PC's associated with Drakehall Keep===<br /> *[[PCs:Thaylis Beign|Thaylis Beign]] - Knight of Drakehall.

<p>Its me Gutemensch: /* Key Figures of Drakehall Keep */</p> <hr /> <div>==Demographics==<br /> *Location: Northwestern M'Chek<br /> *Land Size: TBA<br /> *Population: TBA<br /> *Religions: Mixed; tending to good intentions<br /> *Exports: Beer and Leather<br /> *Colors: Black, Silver, and M'Chekian Blue<br /> *Sigil: The heads of a hawk and a silver dragon facing each other on a field of M'Chekian blue.<br /> <br /> ==History of Drakehall==<br /> <br /> === Early History ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was built many generations ago in the untamed wilderness of the M’Chekian grasslands and served as the first ancestral fortress of the powerful House Drake. The Drake’s carved out a name for themselves in the harsh and unforgiving wilds, and this fortress provided a beacon of safety and protection to the men and women living in this region.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> Situated in western M’Chek, the Keep is nestled in a shallow valley and is surrounded by low, sweeping hills and fertile farmlands. It borders Nelthropian lands and the Hills of the Order of the Way to the north, with Westshore and Bachwood edging its southern boundaries. The Keep is made of stone and is 2 stories in height, with a small watch tower built atop the southwest corner of the roof. Underground rooms provide storage and other necessities.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> As time passed, the Drake’s power and influence grew and with it, a new port rose out of necessity nearby along the western coastline. Westshore was established and the Drake’s shifted their seat of power to that newly settled coastal settlement.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was still used by the Drake’s and those loyal to their banner over the next few generations, but over time it was neglected and fell into disrepair.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Change in Ownership === <br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake of Westshore served as the ruling noble in House Drake. It can be reasoned that this power was not enough for him, and he craved more influence over M’Chek. To this end, he spearheaded efforts at what became plans for an eventual coup attempt.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Constantine’s plans for a coup focused on many fronts. He conspired with numerous individuals to kidnap the young nephew and niece from Chasworth Keep, Edgar and Audra Harwood, the heirs of Lord Tobias Chasworth, as well as General Cassius of the M’Chekian Army. Additionally, aided by General Percival Tate and the disgraced Colonel Tanners, there were many attempted assassinations of multiple nobles in key positions of power and influence. The men also flooded the southwest and the northwest M’Chekian countryside with bandits to sow panic and confusion within the general population.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> With the aid of a force hired by Prime Minister Deth and Lord Harvingdale, many nobles were protected from assassination attempts and they ultimately captured the elusive Lord of Westshore. The soldiers of the Skybolt Battalion subdued Lord Drake’s army and all the key players were in custody with the exception of General Tate, who evaded capture.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake was executed by hanging in the Garrison Square of Mikona, after being tried by a jury of his peers in the Noble House. Numerous charges were leveled against him and his co-conspirators to include treason, conspiracy to murder more than a dozen nobles, kidnapping, and a number of other undisclosed crimes. Lord Drake did not swing by the neck that morning by himself; both Colonel Tanners and a mercenary named Geoffrey were executed alongside the disgraced noble.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Aftermath of Drake's Revolt ===<br /> <br /> In the wake of the death of Constantine Drake, the Noble House deemed it necessary to offer Lord Chasworth reparations for the injuries inflicted on his heirs while held captive by Lord Drake’s conspirators. Lord Chasworth was gifted several select pieces of ancestral Drake lands by the Noble House, specifically Drakehall and Drakeshore in western M’Chek.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Sir Thaylis Beign had just recently retired from serving as the Brigadier and commanding officer of the Blackhawk Brigade, and after some private discussions with Lord Chasworth, the former officer and Hero of M’Chek accepted a position as a vassal to the older man. Sir Thaylis Beign was granted stewardship of the Drake family ancestral home and the lands surrounding it. With this new responsibility, he is entrusted to oversee the prosperity and welfare of Drakehall Keep and the loyal M’Chekian citizens who live in the surrounding holdings.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Once Sir Thaylis took control of Drakehall, many structural repairs needed to be carried out on the neglected fortress. The repairs were quickly made and Thaylis put a public notice out to the nation, asking for former Blackhawks to fill the ranks of a company of guardsmen needed to serve at Drakehall Keep. Nearly 2 dozen men and women answered the call to his banner. Additionally, Rickus va’Alor, priest to Toran, serves as the garrison commander of the Keep. In addition to these duties, Rickus had requested a small chaplet be built on the lands of Drakehall and to this end, roughly a dozen followers of Toran has joined him. They serve as part of the guard company as well.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> === Recent Events ===<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Lady Finmaegen's judgment over a group of Snorko's Dubunant half-orc army veterans, Drakehall Keep took into service 5 of their group to bolster the garrison, swelling the number to roughly 40 men and women. A newly built guard tower was constructed adjacent to the Keep, and all members of the company were given a silver insignia which identified them as Drakehall soldiers. <br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Dunster's Private war against the Thrope and its Cult of the Five Messengers, Drkahall claimed some 30 loyal M'Chekian troops that fled to Drakehall. With Lord Chasworth's loss of his ancestral home. Some 200 refugees have made the long journey to Drakehall.<br /> <br /> === Current Status and Garrison ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall is at peace and maintaining 3 full companies of guards; Dragon, Wyvern, and Hyrda.

Where it was sold to Drakehall. Her battery of some 10 cannons was removed and transported to Drakehall for security reasons. Given her familiar rigging and lines. It was almost impossible to sail her out of T'Nanshi cove into M'Chekian waters without the M'Chekian Navy spotting her and intercepting her. Even with papers filed in Mikona stating she was Drakehall property did little to stop this. In the end, the Magenta was renamed &quot;Rose of Dre'Ana&quot; and sailed to Myleah, Jechran to be sold to the Starbloods and become the flagship of the Jerchanian Navy.<br /> <br /> == Key Figures of Drakehall Keep ==<br /> <br /> ===PC's associated with Drakehall Keep===<br /> *[[PCs:Thaylis Beign|Thaylis Beign]] - Knight of Drakehall.

The Drake’s carved out a name for themselves in the harsh and unforgiving wilds, and this fortress provided a beacon of safety and protection to the men and women living in this region.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> Situated in western M’Chek, the Keep is nestled in a shallow valley and is surrounded by low, sweeping hills and fertile farmlands. It borders Nelthropian lands and the Hills of the Order of the Way to the north, with Westshore and Bachwood edging its southern boundaries. The Keep is made of stone and is 2 stories in height, with a small watch tower built atop the southwest corner of the roof. Underground rooms provide storage and other necessities.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> As time passed, the Drake’s power and influence grew and with it, a new port rose out of necessity nearby along the western coastline. Westshore was established and the Drake’s shifted their seat of power to that newly settled coastal settlement.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was still used by the Drake’s and those loyal to their banner over the next few generations, but over time it was neglected and fell into disrepair.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Change in Ownership === <br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake of Westshore served as the ruling noble in House Drake. It can be reasoned that this power was not enough for him, and he craved more influence over M’Chek. To this end, he spearheaded efforts at what became plans for an eventual coup attempt.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Constantine’s plans for a coup focused on many fronts. He conspired with numerous individuals to kidnap the young nephew and niece from Chasworth Keep, Edgar and Audra Harwood, the heirs of Lord Tobias Chasworth, as well as General Cassius of the M’Chekian Army. Additionally, aided by General Percival Tate and the disgraced Colonel Tanners, there were many attempted assassinations of multiple nobles in key positions of power and influence. The men also flooded the southwest and the northwest M’Chekian countryside with bandits to sow panic and confusion within the general population.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> With the aid of a force hired by Prime Minister Deth and Lord Harvingdale, many nobles were protected from assassination attempts and they ultimately captured the elusive Lord of Westshore. The soldiers of the Skybolt Battalion subdued Lord Drake’s army and all the key players were in custody with the exception of General Tate, who evaded capture.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake was executed by hanging in the Garrison Square of Mikona, after being tried by a jury of his peers in the Noble House. Numerous charges were leveled against him and his co-conspirators to include treason, conspiracy to murder more than a dozen nobles, kidnapping, and a number of other undisclosed crimes. Lord Drake did not swing by the neck that morning by himself; both Colonel Tanners and a mercenary named Geoffrey were executed alongside the disgraced noble.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Aftermath of Drake's Revolt ===<br /> <br /> In the wake of the death of Constantine Drake, the Noble House deemed it necessary to offer Lord Chasworth reparations for the injuries inflicted on his heirs while held captive by Lord Drake’s conspirators. Lord Chasworth was gifted several select pieces of ancestral Drake lands by the Noble House, specifically Drakehall and Drakeshore in western M’Chek.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Sir Thaylis Beign had just recently retired from serving as the Brigadier and commanding officer of the Blackhawk Brigade, and after some private discussions with Lord Chasworth, the former officer and Hero of M’Chek accepted a position as a vassal to the older man. Sir Thaylis Beign was granted stewardship of the Drake family ancestral home and the lands surrounding it. With this new responsibility, he is entrusted to oversee the prosperity and welfare of Drakehall Keep and the loyal M’Chekian citizens who live in the surrounding holdings.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Once Sir Thaylis took control of Drakehall, many structural repairs needed to be carried out on the neglected fortress. The repairs were quickly made and Thaylis put a public notice out to the nation, asking for former Blackhawks to fill the ranks of a company of guardsmen needed to serve at Drakehall Keep. Nearly 2 dozen men and women answered the call to his banner. Additionally, Rickus va’Alor, priest to Toran, serves as the garrison commander of the Keep. In addition to these duties, Rickus had requested a small chaplet be built on the lands of Drakehall and to this end, roughly a dozen followers of Toran has joined him. They serve as part of the guard company as well.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> === Recent Events ===<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Lady Finmaegen's judgment over a group of Snorko's Dubunant half-orc army veterans, Drakehall Keep took into service 5 of their group to bolster the garrison, swelling the number to roughly 40 men and women. A newly built guard tower was constructed adjacent to the Keep, and all members of the company were given a silver insignia which identified them as Drakehall soldiers. <br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Dunster's Private war against the Thrope and its Cult of the Five Messengers, Drkahall claimed some 30 loyal M'Chekian troops that fled to Drakehall. With Lord Chasworth's loss of his ancestral home. Some 200 refugees have made the long journey to Drakehall.<br /> <br /> === Current Status and Garrison ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall is at peace and maintaining 3 full companies of guards; Dragon, Wyvern, and Hyrda.

Where it was sold to Drakehall. Her battery of some 10 cannons was removed and transported to Drakehall for security reasons. Given her familiar rigging and lines. It was almost impossible to sail her out of T'Nanshi cove into M'Chekian waters without the M'Chekian Navy spotting her and intercepting her.

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Sorcerer_and_Wizard_Spells|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few.

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Sorcerer_and_Wizard_Spells|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts. Not only has she become an avid horseback rider but is also one of the three top riders at Hoffy's Bish Bash races.<br /> <br /> == Bardic Works ==<br /> === Songs, Poems, and Published Books ===<br /> {| <br /> !

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Sorcerer_and_Wizard_Spells|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts.

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Sorcerer_and_Wizard_Spells|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts. Not only has she become an avid horseback rider but is also one of the three top riders at Hoffy's Bish Bash races.<br /> <br /> == Bardic Works ==<br /> === Songs, Poems, and Published Books ===<br /> {| <br /> !

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Sorcerer_and_Wizard_Spells|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts. Not only has she become an avid horseback rider but is also one of the three top riders at Hoffy's Bish Bash races.<br /> <br /> == Bardic Works ==<br /> === Songs, Poems, and Published Books ===<br /> {| <br /> !

She has led a colorful life. When the BlinkieQueen (as she puts it) first came upon them. She was known as General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army; Bane's army that battled against the forces of Hope's calling. The Thousand and One Fey Army were 'lost' to protecting the prison of the BlinkieQueen. Upon the death of the BlinkieQueen, the Thousand and One Fey Army have returned to the gardens. In their absence, came the newans. The elite of Bane's forces and a family within Dutches of Winter's Court. The newans would fall at Hel'byssia, where they held the line, but one lived. The Last Rose, Ammika herself. Who would, a few weeks later, be sent back to Hel'byssia to put a stop to Queen Hope's Elite forces 'The Sons of Life&quot; from breaking the wards and freeing the already touched by the madness of the Blue Star. The Last Rose vs hundreds of elite trained summer Fey and led by former General Winter at that. It is said by a few sources amount the fey that she warned them once to withdraw and they didn't. The next moment is generally agreed that she did something and then they were exploding, turning to ash, melting, or simply gone. All of them but three brothers that formed the Leadership of the Suns of Life. Letting them escape, started the longest blood feud in history. As a result, the battles between Ammika and the Suns of Life had gotten out of control. In an attempt to save the Last Rose, Bane took extreme steps in warding off (some say) or removing (as others say) Ammika's memories of herself and her life. From there, created her two sisters to guard and be with her. Then plunged them into an unknown future and unaware of where they would appear.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/YF1BiUk.png<br /> |}<br /> <br /> The few memories she now has a result of fixing Time Rifts or other efforts: &lt;BR&gt;<br /> * She was very loved and music played a huge role in her early life.<br /> * Chaos use to watch after her when she was young and she liked scaring Chaos.<br /> * Nawen Amakiir is a play on Ammika'newan.<br /> * She is one of Bane's earliest supporters and most intense supporters.<br /> * She is Winter General Ammika of the Thousand and One Fey Army of Winter.<br /> * She led the Thousand and One Fey Army against [[Titania]]'s BlinkieQueen.<br /> * She once jumped naked out of cake for Marble.<br /> * She fought alongside her sisters at Hel'byssia and later defended the wards against Queen Hope's Elite Forces, The Sons of Life.<br /> * Having a newan in your cause is huge for the Fey and kin.<br /> * She is the Last Rose. Meaning she is the last naturally born newan.<br /> <br /> Beyond that it's all black, the pages of her memory are blank, or simply does not know anymore. This could explain why she always asks dragons and kin if they know her or says &quot;The journey to the answers is just as important as the answers themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Brekon/Dubunat/Deglos Border Forest=====<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cCDC6bP.png<br /> |}<br /> When she was taken forward in time and hidden from the Suns of Life. She was with the Amakiirs of the Copper Dragon branch, who had departed the [[The_Great_War|Great War]] effort in [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] due to the treatment of dragons and had spent decades in hiding while the war went on. With peace, they traveled overland through [[Deglos]] and found the spot to their liking. Nawen is the child of Caellian Amakiir and Nawen woman questionable history and honor; she was the third of their four children. She was born at the family hamlet at the height of winter; that bordered the forest along [[Brekon_(nation)|Brekon]], [[Dubunat]], and [[Deglos]]. A harsh but lovely place to be. Among the highland forest with its extreme seasons and breathtaking landscape. The hamlet was home to the Amakiir family and some friends existed with uneasy peace with the orcs. Both farmed and traded between themselves but with a nearby dwarven outpost. Some twelve years into her young life, she out on a walk amongst the trees with her Grandfather Ariqueael as he taught her about nature and life. As they returned to the hamlet. To their horror, the Orcs were razing the hamlet. She was too young to help and the events still today have haunted her in dreams/nightmares. Ariqueael took her deeper into the forest and to the mountains of Deglos avoiding contact with others as they traveled. Finally when they reached Le’Or where he placed her in the care of the Ael’nyon family to raise as they had no children on their own. A family that she was told by Arigueal they were 'Trusted' by Amakiirs for ages and ages; that they look after her and protect her. To this day, she isn't how much of this is true and happened or implanted. Yet, she has a strong feeling some of it is true and someone very close to her betrayed her by revealing her secret and caused the death of those watching and protecting her.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> =====The Family=====<br /> <br /> Nawen Meet her Uncle Xandor in Elysia and learned about the attack upon the family village that took the lives of all that were there. Nawen and Xandor looked after each other and in time news reached them that Nawen was not the only one to survive the attack. Xandor’s children had escaped with their mother who fell days later to her injuries as did a few others. Although not an Amakiir, [[PCs:Elong_Singalong|Elong]] was the cherished friend of Xandor who spoke of her in words of being family; making her family to Nawen in her own eyes. This is just the family that broke away from T'Nanshi after the Great War and relocated to the Brekon/ Dubunat Border Forest. Amakiir's of different family lines like the 'Silver and Bronze Dragons' stayed within T'Nanshi and Elysia and can still be found today through the bond isn't as tight as it once was due to politics mostly.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Family Amakiir that survived the attack on their village and found safety in the south or born in the south afterward''<br /> <br /> *'''Xadnor Amakiir''' - Ventured into Brekon/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Heather Amakiir''', Daughter of Xandor – Deceased through Unknown Causes<br /> *'''Lu’win Amakkir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Tuilal Amakiir''', Son of Xandor – Whereabouts Unknown/Believed Deceased<br /> *'''Nawien Amakiir''', Mother of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] – Deceased from Injuries sustained in a Sereg Attack within M'Chek<br /> *[[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | '''Tamia Amakiir''']], Daughter of Naweien; Married to [[PCs:William_Dane|Willam Dane]] and living in [[Trenium]]<br /> *'''Isaac Dane''' - Son of [[PCs:Tamia_Amakiir | Tamia]] and Willam Dane<br /> *'''Nawen Amakiir''' - Raised in Le'Or and married to [[PCs:Thaylis_Beign|Thaylis Beign]]<br /> <br /> =====Le'Or=====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/Q2wrDdp.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen grew up in [[T'Nanshi|Le’Or]] as the pale-skinned, red-headed child of Elarovan and Sheae Ael’nyon; an elderly and childless couple that the only thing they shared was pointy ears but they loved her as their own. There she grew up in the safety of the Spiritland under their ever-watchful eyes and strict rules. Over the decades as she grew into a young lady between Ariqueael visits. One day when he was expected to arrive, a young Nawen sat outside the house waiting. She waited for days and then weeks; spending all her free time waiting and searching for the sight of the old man that took such great interest in her life. One rainy day a young man came to the house and spoke to Elarovan for some great time. As he left he gave Elarovan a small pack and a staff then bid him farewell. Nawen was able to start putting things together when she heard that Ariqueael would never be visiting again.<br /> <br /> Shortly after the loss of Ariqueael, Elarovan and Sheae started to speak of marriage for young Nawen. Always talking about the available men about the Spiritland and how she will marry one of them. This did not sit well with young Nawen; who had dreams of seeing the world outside of Le’Or. Inside the family home, talk of events like the war with M’chek was not allowed as it pained the Elarovan and Shaea to even hear the words war. She was naïve and sheltered from real life. So, one night sneaking out the door with hardly a thing with her, she said her goodbyes to those she knew as her 'second' parents and closed the door while they slept. She walked into her new life. Upon slipping out of the district and making her way out of Le’Or and to the forest floor, she was shocked at the vastness of the world. After thinking she knew what she was going to do and started walking along the path. There she was greeted by a lady with a giant sword and sung in a soft voice; started asking all sorts of questions of Nawen and being very naïve thought she was being robbed. So, she ran south following the well-worn path and the lady chased her for some distance yelling stop with almost every step. Finally, Nawen noticed the trees were no longer around her and the grass was no longer green. There were bodies discarded about the ground and the air reeked of death. Nawen had found the war and was right in the middle of it. She wondered south to afraid of the lady with the giant sword to travel north back into the forest, she found a path and followed it. She slowly made her way to the city of Mikona.<br /> <br /> ==Mikona==<br /> ====Education in Life====<br /> Her years in [[Mikona]] are something she has really spoken about. Though she isn’t ashamed of her life there some secrets should be guarded. Now and then she does speak of a one-eyed thief and flirty mysterious lady she met there over her time there. Some rumors place her as a burglar and others have her doing more unspeakable deeds in the dead of night. Generally, it is accepted that she did work at the notorious 'The Canvas Club'; where she served drinks, and is believed she also worked as a courtesan out of the Noble Flair Inn. Is believed she did very well for herself in that endeavor. It is said that when she did leave she left in such a hurry that she didn't even check out of the inn and fled the city.<br /> <br /> ==Elysia==<br /> ====Friends Made====<br /> After a series of events in Mikona, Nawen went by boat to Ferrell and then to [[Elysia]] seeking to better herself and mend her wayward ways. She left Mikona, carrying a book about [[Dre'Ana]] and a ticket for a boat; that she found as she fled. For a few days, she spends her time sheltering from the rain and reading the book she found. She lived in the Temple for a while and even at Sorben's Fine Threads where the Sorben's and Deamona had taken to her company; not to mention supplied her with an entirely new wardrobe too. Started to teach her the art of the needle and fashion.<br /> <br /> ====Dre'Ana and her Maidens====<br /> The more she rereads it the more she hears her calling in life. Soon she out looking for them and she finds them. She meets with Sala Te'Dwith and that day becomes a [[Guild:Maidens|Warrior Maiden]] and faithful lady of Dre’Ana. For many years she searched within herself for her true meaning and asked for a sign of what she should do in her life. Then she found it one day, the day Sister [[PCs:Mowghina_Moonblood|Mowghina Del'Torhan]] placed a small sword in her hand and spoke of honor within the blade and honor in combat, in life, in action. Her path was clear and her mind made up. Through she wanted to hide in the shadows and ply her art in that fashion. She takes to light and performs art for all to see. Nawen found inner peace in her life and for once a reason for her. She took up training in private and with her sisters and their friends. She became friendly and somewhat comfortable with people. Letting people get to know her and let Arena tease her often calling her the cute one when she introduces Nawen to people that were known well enough and telling them they were sisters. She started to be known as a prankster to her sisters and newfound friends.<br /> <br /> ====Second Fey War and the large war====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/g2rZqZN.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen had come to Elysia and the war was knocking on the gate. She was a Warrior Maiden Initiate and learned tactics and combat styles the hard way through real combat. She quickly started to make a name for herself as one that didn’t give up easily. She trained hard to maintain the image of Warrior Maidens as warriors and pushed herself further and further down the path to understanding the sword and herself. She fought in countless defensives of Elysia and impressed her sisters with the passion that she was promoted. In doing so, Nawen set a record for the fastest path for promotion in the history of Warrior Maidens. With her promotion, she became an official member of the [[Elysian_Defense_Force|EDF]], till then she had been helping where she could. She would become one of the Maiden scouts and worked alongside the EDF and her sisters not only in defending Elysia but leading the way to strike back. She took part in many battles including the first outright victory Elysian forces had at the [[Eridanian_River|Eridanian River]].<br /> <br /> Shortly later the [[Elysian_Auxiliary_Volunteers|EAV]] was formed where she would train a few that would become famous for archery and tactics and while they prepared and trained; Nawen stayed with the EDF as a scout till the EAV was ready for action. She joined them and found herself no longer a scout which left her confused at losing her [[Elf,_Drangonari|Drangonari]] squad that she had become attached to. She took to the bow and led the archers as there wasn't much of a need for her sword given all the other members. She arose in rank to 1st sergeant and was addressed by Lady Vanoviel along with four others that she served with at an ambush near the Balor Lord Prison where a combined EDF/EAV force held the high ground and broke the back of the Unseelie; Elysia lost no one in the battle and Unseelie lost everyone. Within a week the [[NPCs:Vanoviel_Niltaurwen|Lady Vanoviel]] would depart on her way to Le'Or to talk about Elysian independence and the war. As she and her elite Champions left the city. Nawen was on duty upon the archer's platform and shouted down her often heard 'Dre'Ana loves you Vanoviel' to her and she shouted back that there will be lots to talk about when she returns and she makes sure to have a drink with her. She was ambushed hours later east of the Fairy Gardens and was taken from us.<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/otoFjpO.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Was the last time she ever heard a kind word from anyone of rank during the war. Through she still fought on, she found herself becoming uncertain of who was really in charge after the death of Lady Vanoviel. After a rather tough defense of the city, she was placed on guard duty by a higher ranking officer as the rest of EDF/EAV were honored by the Fey for their actions. She still fought for the defense of Elyisa and served in Nanshi as the Elysian forces where she was sent off mostly on her own. In the end, completely disillusioned by her commanders and what she was doing she sought retirement. Retirement was granted and greeted with whispers of a coward by those that never fought in heavy combat or on unknown mission. The war ended and the people rejoiced. The City of Elysia was to thank those that served in a public ceremony and all that fought were sought to attend regardless of standing; except word came from the ranking officer that Nawen was not to attend due to her retirement.<br /> <br /> Soon enough she is called to duty one day as she awoke to learn that people were ill and the leaders of Elysia had sealed the city. All uniformed EDF was to protect the borders and stop all travel. She guarded as requested during the exceedingly long time it took to find a cure for this plaque tempers flared in Elysia and within the EDF. Nawen found herself more than almost drawing her blade against fellow officers accusing her of not following orders even though other officers were stating she was at her post. If the politics of war lead to her disillusionment in the war, the politics of peace destroyed her to the core of how people plotted each other. She also worked alongside her uncle Xandor in obtaining and handing out scrolls with the words written upon them that would lessen the plague. By the time the plague was a cured and the guards were withdrawn to allow travel again. Nawen slowly noticed that there was hardly a single Warrior Maiden about Elysia. She too would depart for newer lands on the plane of Yassgard where she meets the Crimson Amazons that would shape her views and yet remind her of those that taught her.<br /> <br /> During her time traveling between Elysia to help out when needed and attend Warrior Maiden matters which were quickly decreasing and spending her free time in Mithro Rest on the plane of Yasgard. She meets the one person that would capture her attention and her undying friendship; [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]]. Nawen was her bodyguard to protect her from assassins sent by the Lord of Night to kill Aria and steal something from her. Nawen fulfilled those duties and during those times the two became instant friends and inseparable. However, the magic that allowed us to walk the planes and travel to other worlds was starting to weaken. With the bonds losing their strength two more trips were made to see their friends and Crimson Amazons whom both were members of. On the last trip, they said their fond goodbyes and stepped into the weakened magic bonds before they failed.<br /> <br /> ====Leadership: Dreams and Nightmares====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/7cgp60E.png<br /> |}<br /> With her return to Elysia and the refreshed attitude; she became more confident and more vocal in her desires. As she looked around herself she noticed that many of the notable sisters were not to be seen. Gone were the large gatherings and meetings with talk of planning for the future and how to help those around us. Instead, meetings were turning into screaming matches and ego displays. Though she won’t claim to be innocent as she showed her one in those meetings; including a meeting that detailed the Arch Mistress failed assassination of someone that needed to die but was forbidden by the powers of Elysia to seek her death. She walked away and didn’t return for some time. She left a letter resigning her position in the Maiden Lore Keeper and packed up the supplies she need then departed on her own path to finish her training with the blade. It had been decades since she took up the art of swordplay and there was still more to do before feeling comfortable with the training. She did stay in contact with one sister that watched over the Warrior Maidens and kept abreast of her whereabouts. Nawen received a letter stating the Arch Mistress had left the order and to return at once as she was needed. She did return and was elected by those present to become the seventh Arch Mistress the Warrior Maidens would have in Elysia.<br /> <br /> In her time as the seventh Arch Mistress, she oversaw a rebirth within the Warrior Maidens. Those that severed alongside her were the best she had seen and it showed. Nawen was graced with more titles than anyone can remember and the order gained in honor and in strength. The deeds they performed cover an immense time from aiding Fanos to rescuing sailors to even taking on a wayward boyer and even aiding a far-off land across the planes just to name a few. She also drove deeper into the lore of Maidens and learned more about those that came before her and their actions. She wrote reports on them as long as books themselves which became a book itself detailing the history of the Maidens and their members from the first Warrior Maidens all the way to the newest ranking Warrior Maiden.<br /> <br /> Through moments partly of her own making and of those around her that hide their ideals. She retired after a rather eye-opening and nasty period of time in which she saw betrayal, lies, and outright dishonor from many she thought a friend. She petitioned to become Phoenix Valkyrie and was awarded such becoming the eighth one to achieve such a rank. It was during this time that Nawen was assassinated and an old rare sword once carried by [[PCs:Melonius_Mennallin|Melonius Mennallin]] and stolen from her by Demaon in Elysia. Through proof was showing that a former Maiden was involved in plotting her assassination the leaders of Elysia never took action nor did the church of Dre’Ana. This would affect Nawen for long time as to her views of both.<br /> <br /> ====Jechran Mission====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/BjMLyVV.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> As of Phoenix Valkyrie, it is expected that one takes on special duty to perform. Nawen had seen this when she saw four others promoted into the honored rank. Given that she saw the refugees from Jechran and heard the stories that troubled her she had spoken with the High Priest of Elysia and accepted from her a special duty. That duty was to travel to [[Jechran]] and investigate the taint that overtook the land and was spreading. She agreed and with just a note left behind stating not to follow she departed for Jechran. Upon reaching Jechran the sight was unthinking as everything was dead; the land, the animals, and the people that couldn’t escape. Images of which still haunt her to this very day in her dreams but she did reach her target; an abbey between the border of Gados and the Jechran capital. There she found books of Maiden lore and most importantly the remains of a messenger carrying letters and orders. One of which was even addressed to herself at her former rank of Archmistress telling her to get ready for a mass exodus from Jechran and to stay away from the land itself. Some described the madness of the taint and others the death. As she departed the death she took water, soil, and bone samples along the way for others to study. As she was hurrying to escape before nightfall and to avoid spending the night within the taint; the sure-footed and nimble Nawen tripped over a dead root and shattered her right leg. She crawled her way to an old farmhouse where she attempted to brace herself and rest. There she saw a sight that meant everything to her. In so much pain and memory of the events blur what happened isn’t for certain but what is known is that she was found above the town of Visimontium in the high mountain passes by Vanar. He stated she was clutching a dragon bone as a crutch under one arm and wildly swinging one of her swords in the other hand as she screamed and yelled blindly moving about. He was able to get her to drop her sword and she collapsed a moment later. The Maidens were sent for and a trusted sister came to escort Nawen back to Elysia. Where the healers ordered bed rest for her so her leg would heal; which lasted four years with another six years learning to walk again without her dragon bone crutch. One day she may even publish the tale of what she saw and learned on that journey.<br /> <br /> ====Aftermath====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/n4WrVXq.png<br /> |}<br /> As she healed and recovered she accepted a role from the newly elected eighth Arch Mistress to advise her and the order. She accepted it and the idea of bringing all the Jechran Refugees came to mind. With the aid, of the White, Ivory, and Green orders a huge portal was enchanted and women came to Elysia to be with the rest of their faith. The portal would be Nawen’s last task she helped with or saw after as a Warrior Maiden. Shortly after the portal tempers flared after some Maidens went against standing orders and Nawen took that to heart by pointing it out. With that, she withdrew to her home in Elysia to figure out her life and her next steps. Time would pass and she would be summoned again to Maiden Keep. Now serving under the Ninth Arch Mistress and fulfilling the same role as before she retired from the order completely. The last words she heard as she departed were “Fuck You, Nawen!” That sealed her thoughts of the Warrior Maidens as a whole for the most part outside of a few dear friends.<br /> <br /> Nawen walked right out of the Maiden Keep and into [[T'Nanshi]] where she enlisted in the famed 6th [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le’Nofaythen’T’Nanshi]] as a recruit to fight another war. However, she wasn't through with Dre’Ana yet. When not on patrol along the northern reaches she spent her time in her private shrine to Dre’Ana. Where she pleads for an answer for days on end without acknowledgment from her beloved Dre’Ana about why things are as they are. Finally in a true fit of rage Nawen challenged her to answer her questions and explain why certain things happened the way they had or she would walk away from her lady. Dre’Ana never answered and very next day lifted her love from Nawen in a display she won’t forget. It was later explained by a few that serve everlasting to another god. That Nawen had hurt Dre’Ana deeply with her rage and passion on this certain topic. In the same fashion, Dre’Ana lashed out at Nawen hurting her deeply. Some have said they fought each other and stumbled away. Only to regain their strength and start it up again. The goddess and one of her most passionate followers; each stopped before something unthinkable happened as Dre'Ana walked away from her life.<br /> <br /> ====Seether: The Rage of Nawen====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/XdnKbaI.png<br /> |}<br /> Nawen and anger are inextricably connected together. While she is overflowing with joy and happiness. Her mood can shift from that into almost rage like anger at the drop of a hat be it the mention of a name, seeing someone walk by, or even just hearing a voice. Is this cause of the old saying of redheads being 'either touched from below or above?&quot; is unknown and possible just wild folklore. This is a well-documented fact with the Maidens of Dre'Ana and in their church records. Where in her time with them she proved to be her own worse enemy and sometimes led her and them to new heights. Anger is a powerful motivator and primal emotion. Rumors abound from poking sisters with daggers, slapping and spitting on paladins, to even gutting a wemic with a bottle she broke cause he wouldn't shut up. After leaving the Maidens and the Church. It is said not only by her but others aware of the situation that her anger was so intense that she was having fights with Dre'Ana herself. Revealed later on that the two were causing great injury to each other. <br /> <br /> After leaving them and Elysia, she went into Spiritlands and [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division. Where she earned promotions and medals for service and action. Times were confusing and she was still angry about matters in Elysia. That it was bleeding into her new life and she retired from the 6th in abrupt fashion without looking back. From there she sought solace in the Gardens where she felt safest of all the places she has ever been. There within the gardens and their fey, she remained for decades; finding herself, putting her rage to sleep deep within her. Cause it can never fully go away and controlling such an emotion takes a lot of self-control. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the gardens. She would rediscover the self-control that was taught to her by certain monks. Since stepping out she has had only a few minor flare-ups of anger. She was fully aware of what sleeps within her and knows she will awake. Between her triple awakening, the stress has started to build up and she is always trying to stay happy and away from ones that seemingly wish to wake that side of her. Cause she will lash out at those closest and like a Fey; won't stop till history notes it as a historical event.<br /> <br /> ==Spiritlands==<br /> <br /> ====She Finds a War====<br /> <br /> She would be a part of [[Guild:_Le'Nofaythen'T'Nanshi|Le'Nofathen'T'Nanshi]] famed 6th division of elite warriors. Where she was quick to earn rank and promotion in her brief time with them. Reached the rank of Woodsmistress within them and took part in many missions and patrols. With the loss of Dre’Ana in her life, Nawen spun downward and would have fallen completely apart if not for Deamona; her dearest friend and housemate. Daemona who knows Nawen better than Nawen knows herself it seems. Helped her through the troubles simply by listening to her and letting Nawen find her own way. In that time her path took her to Dru’El where she was accepted into his heart as one of his own. An acceptance that Dre'Ana herself approved of and the two not only made peace with each other but Dru'El allows Dre'Ana to look after her daughter. To which Daemona taught Nawen a new mart to focus herself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/GIs2Czx.png<br /> |}<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am the willow and not the oak''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I bend and sway in the storm of battle''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I do not stand unmoving to resist the blow''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''Feel the stinging whip of my branches''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''You will not feel the club of a fallen limb''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am graceful and fluid like the softly flowing stream''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I am not the roaring river that rushes past without sight''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''All things in life for me are a dance''<br /> &lt;br&gt;''I thank the Father each day for what I am''<br /> &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Then darkness as all was but gone and starting to look bright for Nawen. The last of the dear friends made a choice. Deamona had gone to aid her granddaughter on a far-off plane of islands. To defend those people from the evil she had to accept life on the islands with no return to her homelands. By which she agreed to become bonded to a world stone and become the champion of the people that live there. Daemona was the last of the dear friends and the Order of Purse; which consisted of Aria, Trina, Nawen, and Dae. Now Nawen is left with only her memories of them which she remembers fondly. Though as time passed she made new friends that are just as dear to her as her others were.<br /> <br /> ====The Garden of Soltuide====<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/qLCzids.png<br /> |}<br /> With the loss of Deamona what there was of Nawen was gone. She withdrew to her beloved gardens. A place she had always felt at peace. In time DragonGirls would move [[Loash_Leheven|Loash]] there to allow Nawen more comfort and time to regain herself. While there she would with the help of the DragonGirls; Aiko and Sonja, develop FeyStyle; a method of producing enchanting weapons. She mostly stayed within the confines of the gardens but now and then she was spotted passing through a village or attending trade fairs; where Loash would host lavish games of chance to take away a custom-designed weapon from their famed house. Mostly she spent her time in quiet reflection and in the embrace of her longtime lover Mista.<br /> <br /> ====Retrun====<br /> Feeling more and more herself, Nawen would slowly venture out into the wider world for short trips by herself as she was seeing if the world had really changed or did she see it for what it was. Quickly, she would notice that she had seen the world for what it was but this time she was better suited to venture into it. She found herself being dragged off [[Hel'Byssia]] and into matters that her knowledge of herbs and healing reagents were needed in [[Nor'Seere]]. Somewhat overwhelmed but went on as her heart told to the path was clear. She would rekindle old friendships and make new ones along the way. As she helps here and there, she becomes more in touch with the world and her helping ways. One day, Sonja passed into the next life. Sadness befell Nawen; through she had lost friends before. This would hurt more than all of them combined. Her friends came and gave her space, listened to her, and helped her heal.<br /> <br /> The ForestGirls would form and sisters became more and special to her. She spent her free time sitting outside the Leaping Stag; chatting up any and everyone as she sipped from a bottle without a care in the world.<br /> <br /> ==Gardens==<br /> <br /> ====Family Traditions====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/lvpadDa.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> From the first day she met Xandor and his speaking of the 'family's art', she was drawn to it but in her mind; she served Dre'Ana and She needed warriors. So even though Xandor taught her the ways of telling stories, dancing, lute, and poems. She wasn't all that inspiring or enthralling audiences. Even though he would drag her sometimes kicking and screaming to [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]]'s MMM gathering to perform alongside him. In time she finds a found love for the violin mostly cause she found it easier than the lute mostly due to her small hands and with the violin she had two teachers; Xandor and Arena. Arena was also teaching her the harp too. <br /> <br /> Over the decades she practiced and practiced writing poems and playing the few instruments she owned after Xandor went missing and Arena went traveling. It was one of the hidden pastimes that gave her great joy. Brought her a connection to her family that she never experienced and would bring the memories rushing back. This would be her connection to her past and family for the longest time. A hidden pastime that made her happy. Till while in the Gardens as she sought to calm her spirit and heal her soul. She made a choice that would change everything. She took up the family calling itself. She didn't need to be a warrior as her life was her own now. <br /> <br /> As she came out of the Gardens and into the Spiritlands. She was invited to a party in Silverfalls at the Moontree. They're listening to the music; she started dancing amongst the crowd and they parted for all to see the little redhead dancing her heart out. Which gave Nawen the confidence to sign up for [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie Mouze's]] Musical Madness at Mikona's Finest. Where she performed a poem while dancing as a piece of performance art to a great amount of applause and tips. Which would also introduce her to [[PCs:Frannie_Mouze|Frannie]] and led to the formation of [[FRAwen_Productions|FRAwen]]. As in ''(FRA)''nnie and Na''(wen)'' plotting and planning musical and artistic moments for all to enjoy.<br /> <br /> ====The Awakening of Blood====<br /> ''in 3's It's a FeyThing''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> The first awakening was with singing and music, so came song into her heart and the first awakening of her blood. The awakening also affected her physical appearance which appeared at the Fairy Faire in [[Ferrell]]. For a while, all seemed perfect till the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]].<br /> <br /> The second awakening was during a ritual in [[Nor'Seere]] where Nawen used a relic of [[The_Harpinger|Harpinger]]. That allowed her voice to sound as another person's voice. Unbeknownst to her while it gave her voice a different sound. It also took from her and awoke her blood to the [[Sorcerer_and_Wizard_Spells|vortex]].<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/oQpR58x.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The third was her [[Fey]] blood due to the combination of her song in her heart, her blood coursing with the vortex, and love of her songs; which awoke a long-hidden secret of fey heritage. That she is still trying to completely understand but is getting an understanding that in her life, nothing was as she was told it was.<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Garamond; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: +1px;&quot;&gt;<br /> ''A newan is a fey bloodline. Descended from the Autumn Oaks, old, tough, and near unbreakable. The Protectors of Acorns they that watch. The Winters Bravery and the Springs Deceit. The newans hide, they can be anything from a Springs storm will, to a family's rosebush, and herb garden. A newan could be the pines you planted 100 years ago, so your ancestors have wood from their heaths and keeps but usually, a newan is a flower. just one, set amongst many A sleeping single rose. Is a tangle of chaos.''<br /> <br /> <br /> ''Queen Bane is the only one that knows where the blood flows, and she often takes a personal hand in bloodlines and creates newans as is needed, the line never disappearing completely until now, when Helbyssia fell. There was only one left standing; the Last Rose... Ammika'newan.''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> But she was not created by Queen Bane nor knows how or why this was hidden away for so long either. As she looks for answers and questions most everything she knows about her family.<br /> <br /> ====Familiar Ways====<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/cNIPntU.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> With the second awakening of her blood bringing the arcane into her life. She quietly entered the [[Guild:GreenOrder|Green Order of the Forest]] as a ranking magus. This was done because she had spent so much time with the Greens themselves. She had been unofficial (''yet official'') member for decades depending on who you ask. When she could only read scrolls and use wands; she was a common sight at training night upon the roof of the [[Le'Or_T'Nanshi|Le'Or]] Tower. She personally knows almost every Archmage of the Green Order since the creation of the Trust. Most days she can sit there and not only recite every Trust order ''&quot;Three Words&quot;'' but can explain the roles of each order and their hierarchy. She passed both her Pre/Post exams before even casting a true arcane spell and even attended an initiate lecture with Sr Mage [[PCs:Aria_Ashby|Aria Ashby]] of the [[Guild:WhiteOrder|White Order of the Light]]. Knowing that the Green Order accepted her as they knew her heart and she knew theirs. Cause she wasn't a normal 'initiate' looking for a home; given her history and the life she has already lived. Their tree tower was her home.<br /> <br /> Since taking up the robes and staff. She has created a project, written a book on the motion of casting incantations and is a student of Elementalism with a focus on Aeromancery. Recently, she named Senior Mage of [[Mikona]]/[[M'Chek]] for the Green Order of the Forest. Later, was placed within the High Mage Council, becoming one of the three voices for the Green Order. <br /> <br /> While it is most true that she seeks the ''&quot;Sublime Chord&quot;'' and in what free time she has she theorizes about it. The concept of blending true bardic composition with arcane knowledge poses more questions than answers each time she considers it.<br /> <br /> ==Drakehall==<br /> <br /> ====Sage of Drakehall====<br /> While Thaylis and Nawen figured each other out and what they were about. He invited her to become the Sage of [[Drakehall_Keep|Drakehall]] and advise him. She had just taken the rank of sage at the ATU and was flexing her knowledge of real-world history. Given her knowledge of battle and tactics; this made her a natural choice to advise at Drakehall and offer a counterpoint to Rickus of Toran.<br /> <br /> They were together for the Quest to locate and secure the fabled ''&quot;Horns&quot;'' and were advising him during the attempts to locate and save ''&quot;The Lost Ones&quot;''. Since there she has taken a more political approach and helped him in advancing his ideas for northwestern M'Chek and keeping the alliance of the three together.<br /> <br /> Since joining as their sage. She has started building a library within the keep and has plans for a school in [[Westshore]].<br /> <br /> ====Stalker and Pixie====<br /> <br /> Since before the war and fall of [[Elysia]]. Nawen had carried on a passionate affair with her partner Mista. Mista would help convinced Nawen to open the [[Paradise_Boutique|boutique]] in Elysia and was now in the Gardens with her lover. For years the couple carried on like they were the only two in the world. Given Mista's Fey blood she knew time was fleeting with a single soul. Even though Nawen at times had been sought after by many different names as a partner. She stayed loyal to her lover. <br /> [[File:Kth7jssn.jpg|frame|right|alt=Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall|Thaylis and Nawen's wedding at Drakehall]]<br /> That is until the Half-Nymph Couriers showed up with a package for Nawen. Taken a little back by such; she signed three times on the paper and accepted the package. For years and years, she had sought Cherry River Lambic but was unable to find it in any real quantity. Sitting within the box was several bottles of the unbelievable brew but no card as to who it was from. Some like Finn, openly stated it was from Thaylis by the fancy bottle. Others agreed with him. Soon, little wooden carved animals would show up on her windowsill or on her table in Zvid. Friends of the two seem to arrange change meetings and encounters and soon she started warming up to the idea that there was more to love than safety with her longtime friend.<br /> <br /> After a very long and heartfelt talk with Mista. In which Mista encourages her friend to explore her heart as well as life itself and pursue the one stalking her. At the Pirate theme Trade Fair, she sang a song about wanting his kisses between her thighs but metaphor the song into a Mermaid song about drowning him. This would to him to create the little wooden animals to get her attention and the attention he got. She created a butterfly that has varied meanings in the Gardens and gave it to him. Very quickly the two became inseparable and worked together like dream handling matters from the Lost Ones to the Horns. Even though others were not after her heart and attention too. The gift flirting was a constant between them; Nawen with her songs about what them and how he made her feel and him with little trinkets and craved animals. <br /> <br /> Soon she was staying at his house and him at her and the two quickly became known as a couple. The songs stayed constant but the gift flirting started to take on a whole new level. First, a puppy that would be named Harmony and then a bear cub that would be named Osha. She would have a workshop designed for him to end his long walks to work on leather.<br /> <br /> Then the moment of all awkward moments. FRAwen'ing of Drakehall and his not so well versed Nawen's native tongue. While she danced and sang her song [[Summer_in_Threes|'Summer in Threes']] and with the line '''nanshileeshan'oohevith v'nanshileesh'oohevith hod yoom''' the path became known as he slowly nodded with a little grin that told everyone he had no idea what she had sung. Those that understood the [[Nanshilae]] words even started asking him when he was going to marry her. <br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/PoKvOs6.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Soon while dancing at House Beign. He faked slipping and hurting himself and asked her to be his. Frannie threw an engagement party at Grace's hall. In time they would be wed at Drakehall; which all their wedding finery had been stolen by a scheming son of a trusted merchant and trader but the wedding was saved by House Skybreaker speaking with the [[NPC:Queen Adathi|Queen Adathi]] and almost emptying Nor'Seere of finery and loaning such to Drakehall to save the wedding. In her kindness, the young man that stole the wedding finery was punished not with pain or in a cell but sentenced to learning a work ethic; to this day Charlie is still a valued member of Drakehall's staff. A more public wedding was held later the following day at the Gardens surrounded by friends and wellwishers. <br /> <br /> These days, she is his equal as he has always treated her. Still his advisor and helps to make sure he has all the information he needs to see things through. Mista still works for Nawen and the two are known to exchange 'ideas' and 'thoughts' on certain topics. Mista herself is rumored to have taken a satyr as a lover and is very shameless about their love; almost as shameless as Nawen about Thaylis.&lt;be&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Life at Drakehall====<br /> <br /> In the years since her wedding. She has added Drakehall in helping free the Lost Ones from their curse, numerous battles at sea, sought out the fabled Warhorns of Jechio, the Return of Lady Valenoviel to Elysia, Defeated the Sons the Life, and ended the BlinkieQueen; just to name a few. When not out exploring the troubles of the lands. She can sometimes be found on stage in plays or singing concerts. Not only has she become an avid horseback rider but is also one of the three top riders at Hoffy's Bish Bash races.<br /> <br /> == Bardic Works ==<br /> === Songs, Poems, and Published Books ===<br /> {| <br /> !

Her eyes are a cool blue and she glances about with an almost feral look. Her towering figure is ripped and muscular denoting years of training and survival upon the Great Ice. Gracing her towering figure is an equally impressive colossal bosom known not only their dimensions but the sheer amount of perkiness! So perky that even under several layers of fabric and topped with chainmail; her perkiness is matter public knowledge. Upon her face, neck, and shoulders are tribal marks in the sacred blue that denotes she was taking in a battle against Jechran, her worth to the tribe, that she earned membership in the Blue Fox tribe of Tyedu, and many other milestones in life. Rarely does she speak as she pursues a more stoic demeanor in life but when she does speaks it's in a mix of broken common with a mix of Tyeduian and Jechran accents to her words.<br /> <br /> &quot;So perky and we don't mean her attitude&quot;<br /> <br /> === Tattoos/Symbols ===<br /> <br /> * Wrapped around her neck are runes denoting how she came to be there. Her capture in Jechran, her worth to the tribe, and that she is protected by the tribe as their prize. All given to her at the age of eight.<br /> <br /> * At the age of nine, she was given the mark of ice from under her nose crossing her lips and down her chin. As a sign stating she traveled the Great Ice with the Blue Foxes.<br /> <br /> * Across her right hand just above her knuckles are shooting stars as a mark of magic. At the age of twelve, she had her first cycle and the tribe celebrated and marked her path to womanhood by marking her left shoulder, and both thighs with various fertility runes. During the marking and being held down young Suldove unleashed little bolts of electricity and shock everyone to their amusement.<br /> <br /> * On her left hand, are tattoos and runes of power and strength given to her by the family of an older girl she beat down. At the age of fourteen, she was tired of her harassment and knocked her out with a single punch to the face.<br /> <br /> * Upon her face is a sweeping stroke representing the 'Winter Lights' which was earned at the age of sixteen as she was out on the ridgeline and noticed movement below. She alerted the Blue Foxes and they were able to defend their camp from raiders. When asked she told them that she wanted to see the lights in the sky and wasn't trying to escape. She was escaping but went back seeing a greater danger. In doing so earned her place as a member of the tribe and not a prisoner.<br /> <br /> * Across her shoulders and down her left arm is the story of her time from becoming a member to her trials in proving her worth. The hunting of foxes, navigating the Great Ice, hunting alone with her bow, and other feats are displayed via symbols or runes. Either as a joke for how many times she tried to escape or to honor her for how fast she runs; she has feathers on top and bottom of her feet and her claves.<br /> <br /> * From her right shoulder to her elbow are runes and symbols that denote her skill with a bow, bless her talent in the eyes of the Great Fox, and aid her keeping her pull true. <br /> <br /> * On the back of her neck is the silhouette of a fox with a half-sun or longbow design with a dove flying above it in the same style. Denoting she has hunted the fox and came back with her prey and the meaning of her name. The blue dove is also outlined in the sacred black of the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]].<br /> <br /> * In both ear lobes are disc carved from wolf bone from when she and two others protected all the young women during a cycle retreat to a cave and wolves followed the scent.<br /> <br /> * In her septum is a ring made from the first arrowhead she killed with a bone bead from the stag.<br /> <br /> * Her beads and cuffs in her dreads are a mixed range of tribal designs and Jechranican motifs. Most are tribal designs in copper and there a few silver even. Two are in ivory from the walrus and denote her status as 'claimed' by Inola; the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]]'s chieftain as hers. There is also a large elongated amethyst with roses cut into it that she bought at Windy Willows. The large wrap that forms her ponytail isn't cloth but Jechranican Willow Bark that she picked up along the trading route along the Wastelands and has a motif of roses, wheat, and apples across it in a lovely design. <br /> <br /> * Upon her left bicep, near he shoulder, mixed it with other tattoos is the Mark of Andrinor's Trust in its original arcane coloring.<br /> <br /> * Upon her left forearm in the sacred black of the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]] is her life's story told in runes.<br /> <br /> (All tattoos are done in the sacred blue pigment of The [[The_Great_Fox|Great Fox]] and the Blue Foxes; only the visible are listed)<br /> <br /> == Suldove's History ==<br /> === In Jechran ===<br /> <br /> Their mother Wolsuldove, had won great battles against the mortal foe of all [[Blood_Wings|Blood Wings]], the [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Foxes]]. For defeating them so soundly in battle and keep the borders safe. Many tribes sent breeding stock to Cloudforest for her to use. Unhappy with most of what she saw, she refused to pick. Then one-day Kevovar was escorted into the village by as he was sent as a gift. Upon examining him and seeking blessings from the tribal priestess. She took him as a breeder and the village of Cloudforest rejoiced and celebrate for Wolsuldove would hopefully produce an heir to her leadership with her first breeder. For the act itself is not love nor pleasure but a necessity by her rank. Many in the tribe that served under her came and watched the breeding. Including the priestess who afterward showed the tribed the bloodstained skin of her lost purity. Kevovar stayed in the male section of the village behind the stockade till it was certain that Wolsuldove was with child. At which point he was escorted back along with many gifts to acknowledge the honor that was bestowed. None one was certain from which tribe, clan, or house Kevovar had been sent from; some believed the Mortal Voice herself sent him given the guards were those that protected him but more likely it was from the leader of guard Dre'Ana's high temple itself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/9rgvnqJ.png<br /> |}<br /> Nine months later, and Wolsuldove gives birth to twins. Sul'dove and Rava'dove as they were named upon their birth and in the tradition set by Emanaia Orchard; the mother of doves. Given the demands on their mother. The twins each had their own Yeraiahisist wet nurse and nannies. Through it was mostly a precaution as Wolsuldove spent all her time with the twins. by the age of three, their wet nurses and nannies were replaced with tutors. Dre'Anaites sisters from the Vorin library in Myleah came to the village and taught them the ways of Jechran, Dre'Ana, and educated them in words, writing, and numbers. Their tutors were Selrae and Olluna and would serve the family for years. It was said the twins were smart and attentive to their lessons and were well behaved during the lessons. When the girls were in their fifth summer, Olluna returned to Myleah to further her own standing in the library. By summer's end, Selrae would take the hunt and come back a member of the Blood Wings to become not only the twins' tutor but their protector.<br /> <br /> In their six summer, the twins were more independent and play with fey from a nearby settlement in the Bloomwake Groves that was part of the Blood Wing's tribal holding and ran afoul of trouble by angering many farmers in the area. When Selrae heard such she gave the two a stern talking-to since Wolsuldove was out checking the borders. Upon her return and learning this. Selrae was punished for not minding the twins. Wolsuldove orders five lashes to be given the next day. Upon that morning, Selrae was led out and stripped then had her hands bound. Before the first lash could be delt. The twins walked out from their mother's side and joined their tutor and protector. They stood by Selrae as they undressed and offered their hands to be bound to share in the punishment of their own actions. Wolsuldove unable to stop it, nodded and her daughters' hands were bound and then she nodded for it to start. It was said Sul passed out without a scream on the second lash, Rava on the third, but Selrae didn't scream out at all and on the fifth lash fell to her knees next to the twins. When the twins awoke the next day, their mother was a mix of anger and pride for her daughters.<br /> <br /> In their seventh summer, their mother took them to Many Falls, where several streams converge and these waterfalls are without comparison in Jechran. During the height of summer, a celebration for the Day of Proclamation is held every year. It is believed by all her followers that this is where Dre'Ana came and spoke her message at these falls. Women come from all parts of Jechran to be washed in the falls and blessed. For the ritual and the following celebration, there are no tribes, no grudges, no fighting, everyone present is Jechran and are sisters. There the twins bathed in the waterfalls and were led to the priestess to be blessed alongside their mother. For the rest of the celebration, the twins danced, prayed, celebrated and rejoiced in life with other children of Jechran. On the way home to Cloudforest, the twins recited their family history from the Seven Cities, its first steps in Jechran, to visiting Many Falls and the celebration. To their mother's delight at their knowledge and attention to details.<br /> <br /> In their eight summer, coming out of a hard and bitter winter. As everyone including the twins was helping with planting and getting everything ready for the growing period. That was when reports came to Wolsuldove that the Blue Foxes were back and scouting the borderlands. Invoking defense agreements the Bloods were supplied by neighboring tribes and took to the field. Wolsuldove took the twins and Selrae their bodyguard to the Blood Wings battle camp near Thick Trees.<br /> <br /> ==== Upbringing ====<br /> <br /> Both Sul and Rava were a handful. Some assumed it was their mother's standing in the tribe and her lack of discipline towards the twins. Their mother was very mindful of that appearance the twins raising was very discipline. Which could explain why the got into so much trouble if left alone without their mother, tutors, or guards. Why they didn't have that many friends. When by themselves they caused trouble and havoc on a grand scale. To the point, most children in Cloudforest couldn't play with them unless other adults were around. They mainly entertained each other and tried to behave. Sul had shown great promise in the arcane and was slowly being trained. Wolsuldove feared that Sul would be taken by the Trust and then sent away from Jechran; unable to aid her people or tribe. Rava showed great skill with the bow. Their mother's plan was for them to aid each other as their talents grew stronger.<br /> <br /> === In Tyedu ===<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/zMTt8hR.png<br /> |}<br /> The summer of her eighth year is when life takes a turn for the worse and Suldove on a path she could not turn away from. In that spring with the Blue Foxes of Tyedu starting their raids against Jechran lands protected by the Blood Wings. Wolsuldove, for the first time, allowed the twins to travel with the warriors as part of the support followers to remind her why she fights. Everything went as it always does. Blue Foxes push and gain ground and the Blood WIngs would push them back across the border then retreat into Jechran. Until the battle of Thick Trees along the borderlands. Unknown to Wolsuldove and her warriors was the alliance the Blue Foxes had with a band of outcasts and criminals of various tribes of Tyedu; only known as 'The Circle'. As the Blood Wings held the line against the Blue Foxes. Was when [[The_Circle_Warband| The Circle]] moved against the flank and attacked the camp. Completely catching them off guard. The few guards were sained without honor and soon the camp it set was taken. Everyone was killed. The twins' bodyguard Selrae, fought to the end protecting the children. Ravadove, being the braver of the picked up the fallen guard's sword and as she tried to lift it up. Was punched so hard that she died then and there. Suldove was taken by The Circle as a prize.<br /> <br /> Later she was traded to Blue Foxes with the promise that when came of age. She would be offered to the leader of The Circle to bond the Blue Foxes and the ally. For years she was beaten, forced, and enslaved by the Blue Foxes as resisted their ways and tried often to escape. For which she was hobbled on more than once. In her tenth year, while collecting wood for the hearths in a small grove of trees. The figure of a woman appeared and told her to submit and learn, survive and I'll come for you. Then vanished behind a tree. From that day and the eight years that followed. She submitted, she learned their ways, their words, their tactics, and earned their trust. By her twelfth year, she was accepted as Blue Fox and marked along her face, neck, and shoulder as a true member to celebrate the day of her taken. She was passed from family to family, to gather for and to learn from, to prepare her for life in the harshness of Tied. Upon her sixteenth year, she was given a bow and quiver and taught to hunt. Which is excelled at as it gave her time away from the tribe she was disgusted at embracing and would search for the woman that spoke to her all those years ago. Upon her seventeenth year, the agreement was made that at first snow of the fall, she would be given to Asema of The Circle to bond the two into one tribe. <br /> <br /> That year was the most worrisome for young Suldove. She constantly searched for the woman and even tried to plan her own escape. Twice even considered ended it all so her future wouldn't be what they wanted it to but she would hear those words from the woman in her darkest hours. As the short summer ended, the lands were hit with furious storms and it appeared that autumn was not to be as the snow was on the way. The Circle appeared in the camp the next day with talk of bonding and belonging; a great celebration was in the works. Suldove was presented wearing a lovely fur from Asema and then ushered back to her tent. That night the storm hit hard, wind and snow came from all over. Everyone was in their tents seeking shelter from the elements. As Suldove sat watching her own little fire and coming to terms with her new life. The woman appeared from across the fire. Told her to leave everything that wouldn't keep her warm; daughter of my daughter. Together they stepped out in the storm and left the village unseen. As the storm covered their tracks. For days they walked with hardly a word said.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/UEtMiuq.png<br /> |}<br /> Days blended together and rarely stopping for long as they walked easterly. Finally, trees started appearing more often and a storm was waking. Even she knows the home was close. As they neared the border the woman told her that things had changed, daughter of my daughter but from here one has a chance. Then she vanished as Suldove turn to see around at the sounds of footsteps. Four heavily armed women in heavy purple armor were walking up and demanding to know who she is. She shouted she Suldove, daughter of Wolsuldove of the Blood Wings. Yet they kept coming and surrounded her. They asked her again and she reached it. For which she was beaten down to her knees. The one that seemed to be the leader explained that Suldove and her twin Ravadove died at the battle Thick Trees and that Wolsuldove and most of the Blood Wings died that next spring at the battle of Frozen Creek. The remaining Blood Wings were taken into the Black Leaves. As they prepared to beat her down again, one of the four shouted stop and asked her what was Wolsuldove's sword named? Suldove thought a moment then grinned before answering. She explained her mother never carried a sword but a fail she called 'Thicket' cause she had all the chains on it fashioned to look like rose thicket covered in thorns. With that, the four stepped back. Three of them walk off back into the trees and one stayed. <br /> <br /> After a long silence, that one spoke to Suldove. She explained that much has changed in along the border with Wolsuldove death. Their tribe is no more, and the few left follow another leader. She went on to explain it not safe for her, your marked up like a Blue Fox and even speak like one. Most would kill you on sight in the name of Wolsuldove. If they know you are her daughter then it will be worse. Best everyone thinks your dead already. <br /> <br /> Suldove did just that and headed south just out of sight of the Jechran border except for on the fourth night. She knew that landscape and it was Thick Trees. That night she slipped across and there on a tree was carved &quot;here lives Suldove Ravadove, daughter of Wolsuldove, killed in combat&quot;. Without a doubt the one that had carved it was not her mother nor anyone that knew them. As she walked off she spoke to herself Suldove Ravadove over and over and decided to take her sister's name as her family name. In the hopes of living a life for her twin too.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Mates ====<br /> In the traditions of the Blue Foxes. Mates are taken by the females of the tribe at the Festive of the Fox Tail. This is when the lights dance in the night sky at the height of winter and the [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]], [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]], [[White_Hares|White Hares]], and [[Grey_Eagles|Grey Eagles]] gather in one spot. Where problems are settled, next season's raids planned, trading between tribal sects, rituals, and the selection of mates is performed.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Of note, in Tyedu homosexuality is a touchy subject in the male dominate society that covers the frozen lands. Its acceptance ranges from tribe to tribe. Overall male homosexuality is frowned upon due to the fragile male ego and the overall need to grow tribes. In some tribes, it is punishable by banishment to the Great Ice while in others it's just seen as shameful. Between females, such choices while not shameful or frowned upon are not completely encouraged or accepted until the females involved have produced healthy children. Even then are still encouraged and expected to take males as mates.<br /> <br /> Also of note, is that the Blue Foxes believe in and practice polyandry. In large part due the males outnumber females. For centuries this practice of females taking two mates has kept the peace within the tribe and allowed them to grow. The practice is simple. A female takes two mates; one is always out hunting while the other stays within the tribal camp to provide protection. When the hunter returns, the one that stayed behind leaves to hunt to ensure there is food.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Tse:''' (selected for Luyu by the women of her tribe) Tse was a few years younger, very headstrong, and a [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]]. Given Luyu standing still as a captive but also Jechranican and a Dove. She was most sought after and Tse's family made sure that women knew they wanted Luyu. They gave her a tent, furs, and everything one would need to sweeten the deal. Tse was selected for Luyu on the final night. Everything seemed fine as Luyu understood her role and so did Tse. As the spring thaws came early. It was clear that something had bloomed between the young couple. But a harsh fall would descend and Tse would be put to the test in providing for his young wife on the great ice. Tse left to hunt and never returned or was found.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Nakai:''' (selected for Luyu by the women of her tribe) The following winter after the lose of Tse. Luyu was given a mate per tradition; Nakai of the [[Grey_Eagles|Grey Eagles]]. A slightly older warrior but honorable and respectable. For two winters the two grew close. Nakai, seeing Luyu as a hunter, he took her under this tutelage and trained her with the bow. In their second winter, Nakai was defeated in battle while defending the winter camp from raiders. Luyu took his body to the Great Ice to return him to nature.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Tyee:''' (Luyu picked) Tyee of the [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]]. Who was the same age as her and headstrong with something to prove. Hoping Nakai would temper such in the strong and handsome young man. Tyee wouldn't make it to the first frost. To prove himself a greater hunter than Nakai; he ventured off alone to hunt the Ice Bears. Not listening to any of the other hunters Tyee went off and was never seen. His spear and tattered leathers were found the next spring along with the remains of four gnomes, several sets of human remains, and some animal bones. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Nikan:''' (Inola picked) A young stout man known for his skill with a bow from the [[White_Hares|White Hares]]. Nikan took to Luyu instantly and she to him. He taught her the way of the bow and stalking prey. In their first winter, Nikan went to trade furs and skins with a nearby settlement of gnomes and was never seen alive again.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Honovi:''' (Inola picked) A fairly strong and agile young man just out of boyhood from the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]] and one time promised to Inola. Luyu practically adored the young man to no end. But shortly after losing Nikan to gnomish treachery or justice depending on your view. Honovi came down with the sweats in winter. Healers were summoned, prayers and rituals carried out, but after seventeen days Honovi passed and his body was returned to nature.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Inola:''' She would meet her at the festive in Luyu's eighth winter with the [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]]. Inola was of the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]] and daughter to a prominent seer and possible future leader. Luyu was slatted to pick two new mates after losing Tyee and Nikan and Inola had lost her first mate to the sea. Quickly their attraction turned to lust and then something deeper. Soon Inola had left her parents tent and was staying in Luyu's tent. They had become inseparable from each other. Rumors spread and others whispered that the two had made their choices. Inola's parents heard the rumors and confronted the Blue Foxe leaders about it. It was agreed that both women had duties that were unfulfilled and such needed to be seen to; as in producing children to grow the tribe. Therefore they were separated in the middle of the night. Both parties made reparations to the others; Blue Foxes gave Black Seals several bear skins and Black Seals presented several seal skins and tusk to amend what had happened. After that, the women of each tribe made sure Luyu and Inola were kept away from each other. Upon the final night of the ritual to bless mates. They had to pick each other's mates. Inola picked Nikan of the [[White_Hares|White Hares]] and Honovi of the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]]. Luyu picked Lallo of the [[White_Hares|White Hares]] and Dohosan of the Blue Foxes; the latter she had an extreme fondness for. The next day, the tribes went their own ways, and Luyu and Inola never saw each other. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Upon her return to Tyedu to aid in &quot;Mirror Tower Repairs&quot; and gain the aid of the Black Seals for a Great Whale Hunt. She learned Inola had three children and her husband had passed bravely; she now leads the Black Seals. Upon hearing of such news from Inola herself and in the same breath. Inola claimed her former lover Luyu (Sul'Dove) as hers in front of the entire tribe at their summer encampment.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Noya:''' One of the free friendly women towards Luyu and a [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]]. After the loss of Nikan and losing Honovi to Winter Sweats. Luyu started hunting more and would team up with another woman facing similar circumstances; Noya. The two would hunt together and by the end of summer Noya had moved into Luyu's tent. The two were planning for winter and had agreed on a mate to share but that is when the news of what the tribal elders had instore for Luyu. She was to being given away to The Circle to seal the bond and make them Blue Foxes. Something Luyu resented and hated but Noya saw a great honor. The disagreement ended their plans and their love.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === In the South ===<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/TEqBTjq.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> After departing Thick Trees. Suldove made her way along the border staying outside of Jechran till she neared [[Galdos]]-[[Jechran]] border. From there she followed the southern trading route till she reached Windy Willows just inside Jechran. There she entered and no one cared nor asked. As she was far enough from Teydu that matters of the northern border were mostly unknown. She spent a few weeks unloading and unloading trade wagons for a few coins a day and sold off some of her furs as the weather was noticeably warmer. Not wanting to risk her luck. She departed when she felt she had enough in her pouch and walked along with a trading caravan out of Deglos on its way to skirt the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]] and do some trading at a few border settlements known to trade in exotic goods. <br /> <br /> They didn't pay her much attention and she kept her distance as she followed them. Until one night when the wolves came and she knew how to deal with them. From that night, she was welcomed to walk with the Anvilspine Trading Company and was welcomed into the camp. She didn't say much and they didn't ask much. She told them she wasn't a thief and they agreed she wasn't. As they went from one village to outpost to hamlet along way. She heard of the Southlands and would sometimes ask questions of the Anvilspine members about it. By the time they reached the last stop they were near [[Drotid]] and told her to keep her head down and stay with the wagons; don't look anyone in the eyes. Which she did and there was no trouble. As they turned west and back towards the mountains they offered once they reached [[Nutzdagezehesple]]. That they show her where the forest was and once there and the wagons unloaded. They did as they said and took her to the edge of the forest.<br /> <br /> From those first steps into the forest, the truest meaning of lost set in. She saw it all without knowledge of anything; everything from harpies and the Marethorn trying to take over, and men running about free. Not to mention her newest dislike, mansplaining and the just as bad magesplanning. Over time, she would meet a few people here and there and would travel with them but always returning to her little camp spot in the forest northeasterly of [[Zvidureth]]. Soon she hears of [[Dre%27Ana|Dre'Ana]] followers not just following the faith but banded together in [[Elysia]]; where she goes and try to start a life.<br /> <br /> ==== Elysia ====<br /> <br /> She proved her worth and was accepted into the Warrior Maidens; given the rank of Bow Maiden among their numbers upon earning it. She also attempted to buy a windmill from a local farmer but with her repairs to the structure, the farmer did not sell to her. She had a more modest home constructed out near the ferry landing where many travels to reach Ferrell. She shares the home with her sidekick (or is she the sidekick) the one known as Starfey. Where the two plot and plan gooder acts to help others.<br /> <br /> Recently departed from the southern Warrior Maidens without even speaking or leaving word to them. Now, is doing her own thing.<br /> <br /> == The Blood Wings ==<br /> Misilda had left her family's caravan with her two daughters Aruanya and Dooriya and with a child coming. She left cause her husbands had each died in needless fights leaving her with daughter and no means. Her own family would negotiate a new arranged marriage and marry her off. She didn't want this for herself nor her daughters. Hearing rumors of [[Jechran]] the middle-aged woman turned her wagon northeast and departed her family's caravan. Going wasn't easy even when they entered the lands of [[Deglos]] and [[Galdos]] but they made it after months of traveling in the confines of the mountains. There as they rolled their wagon out into the light, [[Jechran]], the land that almost seemed mythical to her but would offer her and her daughters a life of not being bartered and sold cause traditions say to.<br /> <br /> As they crossed into Jechran, they soon learn the promise of that life is there but it doesn't come easy. Those that seek it work hard, train hard and fight hard to protect it. They found themselves on the lands of the Bright Eagle clan and were allowed to stay if they worked. Which they did until the third daughter was born; Emanaia. Given she had worked hard and her knowledge of ways was vast; Masilda was and her now three children were invited to stay and in time would be allowed to join the tribe. On, Masilda's 43rd year, she hunted and took down a Jechera; rumors have it she had dug a pit and lined it with spears then let the Jechera chase her till reaching the pit where she swung across. The act of taking down a Jechera guaranteed her and her daughters would become Bright Eagle and protected. Not much is recorded of Araunya and Dooriya. Rumors cited Dooriya became a priestess of Dre'Ana and would live deeper in the wilds of Jechran at a secluded abbey. Araunya, took a breeder and became with child but she and the child died in labor. Emanaia, would become best friends with Salbellis the clan leader's daughter. They learn through the stories of the old ones of the Blood Wings; the warriors of Bright Eagles, who protect the lands from the Tyeduians and Gladoisans that did raid. Upon their eighteenth season, both Emanaia and Salbellis offered to become members and hunt the Jechera. It was said that the two left barehanded and wearing no armor but returned two weeks and some days later with meat and skins of the Jechera and each covered in blood as they smiled and held up the tooth to prove the deed. That night as the clan celebrate the return of the friends and the others that had returned earlier. Emanaia and Salbellis announced to the clan the reformation of the Blood Wings to both of their mothers' horror. They knew what it meant and what it cost but the clan was raided seasonal, their orchards and farms always near empty come fall. It was told to the clan and the clan was joyous. How could they be stopped?<br /> <br /> At their first engagement, the Blood Wings only number seven warriors. They had been tracking a small raiding party from Galdos. As they scouted out the orchard for raiding. The Blood Wings attacked unseen. Arrows from all directions and not even a warcry or shout. They took them by surprise and out of the twenty-person raiding party, they spared one heavily wounded gnome but would survive. The one that lived was probably a Knorkogack and was shocked to find out his compatriots and himself were taken down by seven teenage women warriors. They took him to their village and treated his wounds and once he was well enough to travel. They sent him back to Galdos with a message &quot;Bright Eagles are protected by Blood Wings&quot;. So the myth would start. Emanaia and Salbellis would lead the Blood Wings in defense of the Bright Eagle lands and the border of Jechran even alongside some of the most famous clans, tribes, and houses. By the time of two friends taking their first breeders, the Blood Wings now number over forty women; who had matched them strength for strength and clashed arms with their mortal foes the Blue Foxes. Always defeating them even when things looked grim; the two would always find a way. Emania would be with child and give birth to Sarydove while Sabellis would give birth to Haphira. During this time they watched as the Blood Wings and planned the missions but would return to action helping a neighboring tribe the Night Lions. Who was raided via the sea by the Blue Foxes in a night raid that no one saw coming. The two planned to simply repeat the raid. Wich was a stunning victory and led to capture of all the Blue Foxes boats as well as a hoard of seal skins. Blood Wings suffered no losses and the Blue Foxes suffered heavy losses; including the capture of over a dozen young women and men. While being held by the Night Lions awaiting their fate. Many of the young ladies sought Dre'Ana and spoke of her. They were chained and sent away to see if such was true. While the men were branded and sent to work. In time many of the women would return not the Night Lions but the Blood Wings. Seeing women do what they did and with honor was a sight that impressed them. There would be many more battles for Emanaia and Salbellis. Is said that Emanaia never had another daughter but gave birth to four sons over the course of her life. She died in combat, fallen by a waraxe of the Blue Foxes at the Battle of Windy Fields, fighting for the Blood Wings with the Misty Moon Clan of Southen Jechran. Salbellis, would have another daughter and two sons. She saw her friend fall and was never the same again. She turned over the Blood Wings to Sarydove and took her own daughters with her Myelah. <br /> <br /> Sarydove, had inherited a windfall. Trained by her mother, fought alongside her in many battles and was ready to lead the Blood Wings. It is known her first battle was really an ambush. The Blue Foxes had snuck deep into Bright Eagle lands and were waiting for her. All that is known is that while they took her arm, she took all their lives. She survived the loss of her arm, trained herself to fight left handed with a long sword and after three winters led the Blood Wings on a mission of payback. Was said they chased the Blue Foxes from their own land and the sight of Sarydove, the One Arm at the head of the small army was their worse dream come true. Sarydove ensured the Bright Eagles and most of the borderlands with Teydu were peaceful for almost twenty-six years. Like her mother, Sarydove would fall in battle and her daughters were there; Maeradove and Rathadove were commanding the flanks of the Blood Wings as a combined Teyduian force tried to enter Jechran. In a strange and very honorable moment, after the battle which was a horrible stalemate of heavy losses and no gains; each force broke of the will to attack again. The one that fell Sarydove, returned her to Jechran to be honored. The unknown warrior was allowed to retain his ax and armor for the deed and traveled back safely to his camp.<br /> <br /> Maeradove and Rathadove would lead the Blood Wings for near some forty-nine year; almost all of it peaceful with just little skirmishes and raids. Of note; The Bright Eagles leader Esletha, the great-niece of Sabellis by her eldest sister; had yet to give birth to a daughter but had given birth to three boys. Esletha petitioned Myleah for help as she led the tribe. Which Myleah sent a quad of priestess and a breeder of great renown. For thirteen months the quad and breeder were in the main village. She had been with child sent the fifth month and all signs and omens pointed to a daughter. In a twisted fate, Esletha daughter Marriara was stillborn and given a funeral for a great hero. Two years later, the quad returned with another breeder that had blessed six other women all with daughters. Marriara was with child almost instantly and in her eight month, labor started too soon and Esletha and her daughter perished after days of labor. Maeradove would petition Myleah to absorb the Bright Eagles into the Blood Wings but was told the Blood Wings were not a tribe by a Warband. Myleah announced the Bright Eagles dead by lack of daughter. In the uncertainty that followed Maeradove and her lover, Lisvis departed for southern lands away from Jechran. Rathadove would plead with Myleah and in return, the Blood Wings were now seen as a tribe; with Rathadove as their leader. Their lands reduced by two thirds but tribute paid by the surrounding tribes for the service of seeing the border protected. Rathadove would have one daughter and no other children; Sandove. Given birth to Sandove almost took her life and since she had been blessed with a daughter, she was content. She would train Sandove in the ways of the Blood Wings as she and her sister were. Rathadove died at the age believed to be around her ninety-fifth year and in her sleep. <br /> <br /> Sandove the reckless as she would be known as. From the moment of her mother's death, she only made one good choice and that was the selection of a breeder almost instantly. Nine months later she gave birth to Wysadove and left her in the care of the fellow Blood Wings and led the rest one misadventure to another invading Tyedu again and again. She is said to have been killed at the Battle of Four Springs. A needless battle but a victory for the Blood Wings. After the battle, the Blood Wings gathered up their falling leader and retreated back into Jechran. The Blue Foxes near wiped out did not follow. In the interim, the Blood Wings were led by Wysadove in Myleah's eyes but in reality, there was no leader. Everyone did as they needed and helped each other. The border was secure and their land flourish. <br /> <br /> Wysadove refused to take leadership until she had proven herself. Like the 'Mother of Doves' herself. Wysadove set out with nothing and returned weeks later but not with a Jechera tooth as proof of her worth. Instead, she entered the village wearing a lion's mane and carrying a bloody wooden spear. She oversaw possibly the most peaceful history of the Blood Wings. For almost forty years the border was quiet and life was good. In this time, she took many breeders and birthed many boys and three daughters. Soldove, Luradove, and Wolsuldove. Soldove would in time seek Myleah and earned her place at the High Temple leading the guards. Luradove, would take to the seas and rumored to have charted many islands. She departed to Myleah with a small fleet of tribal ships to aid the Southern lands when [[Drotid]] attacked and is rumored to have been captured and killed along with many others. Wolsuldove would rise to power in the wake of her mother's possible death. Wysadove died in battle wearing her lion's mane and leading the Blood Wings against their mortal foes the Blue Foxes at the Battle of Two Creeks. Where Wolsuldove herself is said to have slain twenty-three warriors before no one seeing her. She was not among the dead or wounded. Even attempts to contact the Blue Foxes via proxies proved she was not taken captive to their knowledge. All that is known she was not there at the end.<br /> <br /> Wolsuldove, would lead from her teen years until her death. Always on the hunt for her mother's whereabouts and capturing Blue Foxes for questioning before giving them the sword and death. Blue Foxes banded with their allies and attacked. Wolsuldove was ready and in three bloody battles did what it took Sarydove the One Arm eight battles to achieve. She broke the Blue Foxes of the will and return to Jechran. There she was given breeders but only accepted one. Kevovar, he was called and believed to have been captured at sea by another tribe. She only breeds with him once and nine months later she would give birth to Suldove and Ravadove. After that Kevovar was escorted back to where he was given. Believing these were blessed days with her twins, she wasn't watching the eastern borders. The Blue Foxes had a new ally, 'The Circle' and in the eight years after the battle of that broke the Blue Foxes; they struck back with vengeance all along the border. Battles at Shallow Valley, Sunny Creek, and others were just the start. Wolsuldove's word would descend into darkness at the Battle of Thick Trees. Where 'The Circle' flanked the Blood Wings and attacked the extreme rear where the camps were. In the action that followed, several families were killed, healers and the twin's guard was killed while defending the eight-year-olds and Ravadove was killed in a brutal fashion. Suldove was taken and never seen again by her mother. Which led to countless and at times almost reckless battles led by Wolsuldove. Which went through the rest of the season and into the winter until the lands were not suitable for fighting. As spring thawed the lands. Wulsuldove led the Blood Wings into the bloodiest and most one-sided battle ever. The Battle of Frozen Creek destroyed the Blood Wings. Wolsuldove and some two hundred plus Blood Wings fought the Blue Foxes and 'The Circle' at a frozen creek inside the lands of [[Tyedu]]. Only six Blood Wings escaped the onslaught that they faced.<br /> <br /> After the battle of Frozen Creek, [[Myleah]] saw the Blood Wings dissolved. The few remaining members went to other tribal leaders and Myleah itself called for combined forces to push back the threat by the Blue Foxes and others along the border. Just as was done in the days before the Blood Wings.<br /> <br /> == Lineage of Suldove ==<br /> <br /> Masilda Orchard - Relocated to Jechran due to strife in Romin caravan (''deceased'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Araunya Orchard - Daughter of Masilda (''deceased'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Dooriya Orchard - Daughter of Masilda (''deceased'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Emanaia'' 'Mother of Doves' ''Orchard - Daughter of Masilda/Mother of Sarydove (''deceased'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> &lt;BR&gt;<br /> (First Generation) Sarydove of the Blood Wings - Mother of Rathadove/Maeradove (''deceased'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Second Generation) Maeradove of the Blood Wings - Sister of Rathadove (''deceased-unconfirmed'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Second Generation) Rathadove of the Blood Wings - Mother of Sandove (''deceased'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Third Generation) Sandove of the Blood Wings - Mother of Wysadove (''deceased'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Fourth Generation) Wysadove of the Blood Wings - Mother of Wolsuldove (''deceased-unconfirmed'') &lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Fifth Generation) Soldove of the Blood Wings - Aunt&lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Fifth Generation) Luradove of the Blood Wings - Aunt (''deceased-unconfirmed'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Fifth Generation) Wolsuldove of the Blood Wings - Mother (''deceased'')&lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Sixth Generation) Ravadove of the Blood Wings - Twin of Suldove and daughter of Wolsuldove&lt;BR&gt;<br /> (Sixth Generation) Suldove of the Blood Wings - Twin of Ravadove and daughter of Wolsuldove&lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> Kevovar - Breeding stud rewarded to Wolsuldove and 'father' of the twins (''unknown'')&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;BR&gt;<br /> <br /> == Written Accounts of Oral History ==<br /> Upon joining the Ashen Order of the Stars and finding herself in Mikona more often before being assigned Elysia. She discovered the Tower University and began reading about the south and its histories. During her studies, she met Ophiviel; also a foreigner to the south. They spoke of what they were seeing in the south and also what they saw and experienced from the lands they came from. Ophiviel was very much taken with the tales told to her as not many Jechranicans or Tyeduians make their way south. As they spoke over weeks and months, Sul'Dove trusted Ophiviel with some of the stories of her people and tribes; the Blood Wings of Jechran, to whom she was born and would have one day led with her twin sister, Rava.

Her eyes are a cool blue and she glances about with an almost feral look. Her towering figure is ripped and muscular denoting years of training and survival upon the Great Ice. Gracing her towering figure is an equally impressive colossal bosom known not only their dimensions but the sheer amount of perkiness! So perky that even under several layers of fabric and topped with chainmail; her perkiness is matter public knowledge. Upon her face, neck, and shoulders are tribal marks in the sacred blue that denotes she was taking in a battle against Jechran, her worth to the tribe, that she earned membership in the Blue Fox tribe of Tyedu, and many other milestones in life. Rarely does she speak as she pursues a more stoic demeanor in life but when she does speaks it's in a mix of broken common with a mix of Tyeduian and Jechran accents to her words.<br /> <br /> &quot;So perky and we don't mean her attitude&quot;<br /> <br /> === Tattoos/Symbols ===<br /> <br /> * Wrapped around her neck are runes denoting how she came to be there. Her capture in Jechran, her worth to the tribe, and that she is protected by the tribe as their prize. All given to her at the age of eight.<br /> <br /> * At the age of nine, she was given the mark of ice from under her nose crossing her lips and down her chin. As a sign stating she traveled the Great Ice with the Blue Foxes.<br /> <br /> * Across her right hand just above her knuckles are shooting stars as a mark of magic. At the age of twelve, she had her first cycle and the tribe celebrated and marked her path to womanhood by marking her left shoulder, and both thighs with various fertility runes. During the marking and being held down young Suldove unleashed little bolts of electricity and shock everyone to their amusement.<br /> <br /> * On her left hand, are tattoos and runes of power and strength given to her by the family of an older girl she beat down. At the age of fourteen, she was tired of her harassment and knocked her out with a single punch to the face.<br /> <br /> * Upon her face is a sweeping stroke representing the 'Winter Lights' which was earned at the age of sixteen as she was out on the ridgeline and noticed movement below. She alerted the Blue Foxes and they were able to defend their camp from raiders. When asked she told them that she wanted to see the lights in the sky and wasn't trying to escape. She was escaping but went back seeing a greater danger. In doing so earned her place as a member of the tribe and not a prisoner.<br /> <br /> * Across her shoulders and down her left arm is the story of her time from becoming a member to her trials in proving her worth. The hunting of foxes, navigating the Great Ice, hunting alone with her bow, and other feats are displayed via symbols or runes. Either as a joke for how many times she tried to escape or to honor her for how fast she runs; she has feathers on top and bottom of her feet and her claves.<br /> <br /> * From her right shoulder to her elbow are runes and symbols that denote her skill with a bow, bless her talent in the eyes of the Great Fox, and aid her keeping her pull true. <br /> <br /> * On the back of her neck is the silhouette of a fox with a half-sun or longbow design with a dove flying above it in the same style. Denoting she has hunted the fox and came back with her prey and the meaning of her name. The blue dove is also outlined in the sacred black of the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]].<br /> <br /> * In both ear lobes are disc carved from wolf bone from when she and two others protected all the young women during a cycle retreat to a cave and wolves followed the scent.<br /> <br /> * In her septum is a ring made from the first arrowhead she killed with a bone bead from the stag.<br /> <br /> * Her beads and cuffs in her dreads are a mixed range of tribal designs and Jechranican motifs. Most are tribal designs in copper and there a few silver even. Two are in ivory from the walrus and denote her status as 'claimed' by Inola; the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]]'s chieftain as hers. There is also a large elongated amethyst with roses cut into it that she bought at Windy Willows. The large wrap that forms her ponytail isn't cloth but Jechranican Willow Bark that she picked up along the trading route along the Wastelands and has a motif of roses, wheat, and apples across it in a lovely design. <br /> <br /> * Upon her left bicep, near he shoulder, mixed it with other tattoos is the Mark of Andrinor's Trust in its original arcane coloring.<br /> <br /> * Upon her left forearm in the sacred black of the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]] is her life's story told in runes.<br /> <br /> (All tattoos are done in the sacred blue pigment of The [[The_Great_Fox|Great Fox]] and the Blue Foxes; only the visible are listed)<br /> <br /> == Suldove's History ==<br /> === In Jechran ===<br /> <br /> Their mother Wolsuldove, had won great battles against the mortal foe of all [[Blood_Wings|Blood Wings]], the [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Foxes]]. For defeating them so soundly in battle and keep the borders safe. Many tribes sent breeding stock to Cloudforest for her to use. Unhappy with most of what she saw, she refused to pick. Then one-day Kevovar was escorted into the village by as he was sent as a gift. Upon examining him and seeking blessings from the tribal priestess. She took him as a breeder and the village of Cloudforest rejoiced and celebrate for Wolsuldove would hopefully produce an heir to her leadership with her first breeder. For the act itself is not love nor pleasure but a necessity by her rank. Many in the tribe that served under her came and watched the breeding. Including the priestess who afterward showed the tribed the bloodstained skin of her lost purity. Kevovar stayed in the male section of the village behind the stockade till it was certain that Wolsuldove was with child. At which point he was escorted back along with many gifts to acknowledge the honor that was bestowed. None one was certain from which tribe, clan, or house Kevovar had been sent from; some believed the Mortal Voice herself sent him given the guards were those that protected him but more likely it was from the leader of guard Dre'Ana's high temple itself.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/9rgvnqJ.png<br /> |}<br /> Nine months later, and Wolsuldove gives birth to twins. Sul'dove and Rava'dove as they were named upon their birth and in the tradition set by Emanaia Orchard; the mother of doves. Given the demands on their mother. The twins each had their own Yeraiahisist wet nurse and nannies. Through it was mostly a precaution as Wolsuldove spent all her time with the twins. by the age of three, their wet nurses and nannies were replaced with tutors. Dre'Anaites sisters from the Vorin library in Myleah came to the village and taught them the ways of Jechran, Dre'Ana, and educated them in words, writing, and numbers. Their tutors were Selrae and Olluna and would serve the family for years. It was said the twins were smart and attentive to their lessons and were well behaved during the lessons. When the girls were in their fifth summer, Olluna returned to Myleah to further her own standing in the library. By summer's end, Selrae would take the hunt and come back a member of the Blood Wings to become not only the twins' tutor but their protector.<br /> <br /> In their six summer, the twins were more independent and play with fey from a nearby settlement in the Bloomwake Groves that was part of the Blood Wing's tribal holding and ran afoul of trouble by angering many farmers in the area. When Selrae heard such she gave the two a stern talking-to since Wolsuldove was out checking the borders. Upon her return and learning this. Selrae was punished for not minding the twins. Wolsuldove orders five lashes to be given the next day. Upon that morning, Selrae was led out and stripped then had her hands bound. Before the first lash could be delt. The twins walked out from their mother's side and joined their tutor and protector. They stood by Selrae as they undressed and offered their hands to be bound to share in the punishment of their own actions. Wolsuldove unable to stop it, nodded and her daughters' hands were bound and then she nodded for it to start. It was said Sul passed out without a scream on the second lash, Rava on the third, but Selrae didn't scream out at all and on the fifth lash fell to her knees next to the twins. When the twins awoke the next day, their mother was a mix of anger and pride for her daughters.<br /> <br /> In their seventh summer, their mother took them to Many Falls, where several streams converge and these waterfalls are without comparison in Jechran. During the height of summer, a celebration for the Day of Proclamation is held every year. It is believed by all her followers that this is where Dre'Ana came and spoke her message at these falls. Women come from all parts of Jechran to be washed in the falls and blessed. For the ritual and the following celebration, there are no tribes, no grudges, no fighting, everyone present is Jechran and are sisters. There the twins bathed in the waterfalls and were led to the priestess to be blessed alongside their mother. For the rest of the celebration, the twins danced, prayed, celebrated and rejoiced in life with other children of Jechran. On the way home to Cloudforest, the twins recited their family history from the Seven Cities, its first steps in Jechran, to visiting Many Falls and the celebration. To their mother's delight at their knowledge and attention to details.<br /> <br /> In their eight summer, coming out of a hard and bitter winter. As everyone including the twins was helping with planting and getting everything ready for the growing period. That was when reports came to Wolsuldove that the Blue Foxes were back and scouting the borderlands. Invoking defense agreements the Bloods were supplied by neighboring tribes and took to the field. Wolsuldove took the twins and Selrae their bodyguard to the Blood Wings battle camp near Thick Trees.<br /> <br /> ==== Upbringing ====<br /> <br /> Both Sul and Rava were a handful. Some assumed it was their mother's standing in the tribe and her lack of discipline towards the twins. Their mother was very mindful of that appearance the twins raising was very discipline. Which could explain why the got into so much trouble if left alone without their mother, tutors, or guards. Why they didn't have that many friends. When by themselves they caused trouble and havoc on a grand scale. To the point, most children in Cloudforest couldn't play with them unless other adults were around. They mainly entertained each other and tried to behave. Sul had shown great promise in the arcane and was slowly being trained. Wolsuldove feared that Sul would be taken by the Trust and then sent away from Jechran; unable to aid her people or tribe. Rava showed great skill with the bow. Their mother's plan was for them to aid each other as their talents grew stronger.<br /> <br /> === In Tyedu ===<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/zMTt8hR.png<br /> |}<br /> The summer of her eighth year is when life takes a turn for the worse and Suldove on a path she could not turn away from. In that spring with the Blue Foxes of Tyedu starting their raids against Jechran lands protected by the Blood Wings. Wolsuldove, for the first time, allowed the twins to travel with the warriors as part of the support followers to remind her why she fights. Everything went as it always does. Blue Foxes push and gain ground and the Blood WIngs would push them back across the border then retreat into Jechran. Until the battle of Thick Trees along the borderlands. Unknown to Wolsuldove and her warriors was the alliance the Blue Foxes had with a band of outcasts and criminals of various tribes of Tyedu; only known as 'The Circle'. As the Blood Wings held the line against the Blue Foxes. Was when [[The_Circle_Warband| The Circle]] moved against the flank and attacked the camp. Completely catching them off guard. The few guards were sained without honor and soon the camp it set was taken. Everyone was killed. The twins' bodyguard Selrae, fought to the end protecting the children. Ravadove, being the braver of the picked up the fallen guard's sword and as she tried to lift it up. Was punched so hard that she died then and there. Suldove was taken by The Circle as a prize.<br /> <br /> Later she was traded to Blue Foxes with the promise that when came of age. She would be offered to the leader of The Circle to bond the Blue Foxes and the ally. For years she was beaten, forced, and enslaved by the Blue Foxes as resisted their ways and tried often to escape. For which she was hobbled on more than once. In her tenth year, while collecting wood for the hearths in a small grove of trees. The figure of a woman appeared and told her to submit and learn, survive and I'll come for you. Then vanished behind a tree. From that day and the eight years that followed. She submitted, she learned their ways, their words, their tactics, and earned their trust. By her twelfth year, she was accepted as Blue Fox and marked along her face, neck, and shoulder as a true member to celebrate the day of her taken. She was passed from family to family, to gather for and to learn from, to prepare her for life in the harshness of Tied. Upon her sixteenth year, she was given a bow and quiver and taught to hunt. Which is excelled at as it gave her time away from the tribe she was disgusted at embracing and would search for the woman that spoke to her all those years ago. Upon her seventeenth year, the agreement was made that at first snow of the fall, she would be given to Asema of The Circle to bond the two into one tribe. <br /> <br /> That year was the most worrisome for young Suldove. She constantly searched for the woman and even tried to plan her own escape. Twice even considered ended it all so her future wouldn't be what they wanted it to but she would hear those words from the woman in her darkest hours. As the short summer ended, the lands were hit with furious storms and it appeared that autumn was not to be as the snow was on the way. The Circle appeared in the camp the next day with talk of bonding and belonging; a great celebration was in the works. Suldove was presented wearing a lovely fur from Asema and then ushered back to her tent. That night the storm hit hard, wind and snow came from all over. Everyone was in their tents seeking shelter from the elements. As Suldove sat watching her own little fire and coming to terms with her new life. The woman appeared from across the fire. Told her to leave everything that wouldn't keep her warm; daughter of my daughter. Together they stepped out in the storm and left the village unseen. As the storm covered their tracks. For days they walked with hardly a word said.<br /> {| align=left |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/UEtMiuq.png<br /> |}<br /> Days blended together and rarely stopping for long as they walked easterly. Finally, trees started appearing more often and a storm was waking. Even she knows the home was close. As they neared the border the woman told her that things had changed, daughter of my daughter but from here one has a chance. Then she vanished as Suldove turn to see around at the sounds of footsteps. Four heavily armed women in heavy purple armor were walking up and demanding to know who she is. She shouted she Suldove, daughter of Wolsuldove of the Blood Wings. Yet they kept coming and surrounded her. They asked her again and she reached it. For which she was beaten down to her knees. The one that seemed to be the leader explained that Suldove and her twin Ravadove died at the battle Thick Trees and that Wolsuldove and most of the Blood Wings died that next spring at the battle of Frozen Creek. The remaining Blood Wings were taken into the Black Leaves. As they prepared to beat her down again, one of the four shouted stop and asked her what was Wolsuldove's sword named? Suldove thought a moment then grinned before answering. She explained her mother never carried a sword but a fail she called 'Thicket' cause she had all the chains on it fashioned to look like rose thicket covered in thorns. With that, the four stepped back. Three of them walk off back into the trees and one stayed. <br /> <br /> After a long silence, that one spoke to Suldove. She explained that much has changed in along the border with Wolsuldove death. Their tribe is no more, and the few left follow another leader. She went on to explain it not safe for her, your marked up like a Blue Fox and even speak like one. Most would kill you on sight in the name of Wolsuldove. If they know you are her daughter then it will be worse. Best everyone thinks your dead already. <br /> <br /> Suldove did just that and headed south just out of sight of the Jechran border except for on the fourth night. She knew that landscape and it was Thick Trees. That night she slipped across and there on a tree was carved &quot;here lives Suldove Ravadove, daughter of Wolsuldove, killed in combat&quot;. Without a doubt the one that had carved it was not her mother nor anyone that knew them. As she walked off she spoke to herself Suldove Ravadove over and over and decided to take her sister's name as her family name. In the hopes of living a life for her twin too.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Mates ====<br /> In the traditions of the Blue Foxes. Mates are taken by the females of the tribe at the Festive of the Fox Tail. This is when the lights dance in the night sky at the height of winter and the [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]], [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]], [[White_Hares|White Hares]], and [[Grey_Eagles|Grey Eagles]] gather in one spot. Where problems are settled, next season's raids planned, trading between tribal sects, rituals, and the selection of mates is performed.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Of note, in Tyedu homosexuality is a touchy subject in the male dominate society that covers the frozen lands. Its acceptance ranges from tribe to tribe. Overall male homosexuality is frowned upon due to the fragile male ego and the overall need to grow tribes. In some tribes, it is punishable by banishment to the Great Ice while in others it's just seen as shameful. Between females, such choices while not shameful or frowned upon are not completely encouraged or accepted until the females involved have produced healthy children. Even then are still encouraged and expected to take males as mates.<br /> <br /> Also of note, is that the Blue Foxes believe in and practice polyandry. In large part due the males outnumber females. For centuries this practice of females taking two mates has kept the peace within the tribe and allowed them to grow. The practice is simple. A female takes two mates; one is always out hunting while the other stays within the tribal camp to provide protection. When the hunter returns, the one that stayed behind leaves to hunt to ensure there is food.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Tse:''' (selected for Luyu by the women of her tribe) Tse was a few years younger, very headstrong, and a [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]]. Given Luyu standing still as a captive but also Jechranican and a Dove. She was most sought after and Tse's family made sure that women knew they wanted Luyu. They gave her a tent, furs, and everything one would need to sweeten the deal. Tse was selected for Luyu on the final night. Everything seemed fine as Luyu understood her role and so did Tse. As the spring thaws came early. It was clear that something had bloomed between the young couple. But a harsh fall would descend and Tse would be put to the test in providing for his young wife on the great ice. Tse left to hunt and never returned or was found.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Nakai:''' (selected for Luyu by the women of her tribe) The following winter after the lose of Tse. Luyu was given a mate per tradition; Nakai of the [[Grey_Eagles|Grey Eagles]]. A slightly older warrior but honorable and respectable. For two winters the two grew close. Nakai, seeing Luyu as a hunter, he took her under this tutelage and trained her with the bow. In their second winter, Nakai was defeated in battle while defending the winter camp from raiders. Luyu took his body to the Great Ice to return him to nature.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Tyee:''' (Luyu picked) Tyee of the [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]]. Who was the same age as her and headstrong with something to prove. Hoping Nakai would temper such in the strong and handsome young man. Tyee wouldn't make it to the first frost. To prove himself a greater hunter than Nakai; he ventured off alone to hunt the Ice Bears. Not listening to any of the other hunters Tyee went off and was never seen. His spear and tattered leathers were found the next spring along with the remains of four gnomes, several sets of human remains, and some animal bones. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Nikan:''' (Inola picked) A young stout man known for his skill with a bow from the [[White_Hares|White Hares]]. Nikan took to Luyu instantly and she to him. He taught her the way of the bow and stalking prey. In their first winter, Nikan went to trade furs and skins with a nearby settlement of gnomes and was never seen alive again.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Honovi:''' (Inola picked) A fairly strong and agile young man just out of boyhood from the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]] and one time promised to Inola. Luyu practically adored the young man to no end. But shortly after losing Nikan to gnomish treachery or justice depending on your view. Honovi came down with the sweats in winter. Healers were summoned, prayers and rituals carried out, but after seventeen days Honovi passed and his body was returned to nature.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Inola:''' She would meet her at the festive in Luyu's eighth winter with the [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]]. Inola was of the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]] and daughter to a prominent seer and possible future leader. Luyu was slatted to pick two new mates after losing Tyee and Nikan and Inola had lost her first mate to the sea. Quickly their attraction turned to lust and then something deeper. Soon Inola had left her parents tent and was staying in Luyu's tent. They had become inseparable from each other. Rumors spread and others whispered that the two had made their choices. Inola's parents heard the rumors and confronted the Blue Foxe leaders about it. It was agreed that both women had duties that were unfulfilled and such needed to be seen to; as in producing children to grow the tribe. Therefore they were separated in the middle of the night. Both parties made reparations to the others; Blue Foxes gave Black Seals several bear skins and Black Seals presented several seal skins and tusk to amend what had happened. After that, the women of each tribe made sure Luyu and Inola were kept away from each other. Upon the final night of the ritual to bless mates. They had to pick each other's mates. Inola picked Nikan of the [[White_Hares|White Hares]] and Honovi of the [[Black_Seals|Black Seals]]. Luyu picked Lallo of the [[White_Hares|White Hares]] and Dohosan of the Blue Foxes; the latter she had an extreme fondness for. The next day, the tribes went their own ways, and Luyu and Inola never saw each other. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Upon her return to Tyedu to aid in &quot;Mirror Tower Repairs&quot; and gain the aid of the Black Seals for a Great Whale Hunt. She learned Inola had three children and her husband had passed bravely; she now leads the Black Seals. Upon hearing of such news from Inola herself and in the same breath. Inola claimed her former lover Luyu (Sul'Dove) as hers in front of the entire tribe at their summer encampment.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Noya:''' One of the free friendly women towards Luyu and a [[Blue_Foxes|Blue Fox]]. After the loss of Nikan and losing Honovi to Winter Sweats. Luyu started hunting more and would team up with another woman facing similar circumstances; Noya. The two would hunt together and by the end of summer Noya had moved into Luyu's tent. The two were planning for winter and had agreed on a mate to share but that is when the news of what the tribal elders had instore for Luyu. She was to being given away to The Circle to seal the bond and make them Blue Foxes. Something Luyu resented and hated but Noya saw a great honor. The disagreement ended their plans and their love.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === In the South ===<br /> {| align=right |<br /> | https://i.imgur.com/TEqBTjq.png<br /> |}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> After departing Thick Trees. Suldove made her way along the border staying outside of Jechran till she neared [[Galdos]]-[[Jechran]] border. From there she followed the southern trading route till she reached Windy Willows just inside Jechran. There she entered and no one cared nor asked. As she was far enough from Teydu that matters of the northern border were mostly unknown. She spent a few weeks unloading and unloading trade wagons for a few coins a day and sold off some of her furs as the weather was noticeably warmer. Not wanting to risk her luck. She departed when she felt she had enough in her pouch and walked along with a trading caravan out of Deglos on its way to skirt the [[The_Wastelands|Wastelands]] and do some trading at a few border settlements known to trade in exotic goods. <br /> <br /> They didn't pay her much attention and she kept her distance as she followed them. Until one night when the wolves came and she knew how to deal with them. From that night, she was welcomed to walk with the Anvilspine Trading Company and was welcomed into the camp. She didn't say much and they didn't ask much. She told them she wasn't a thief and they agreed she wasn't. As they went from one village to outpost to hamlet along way. She heard of the Southlands and would sometimes ask questions of the Anvilspine members about it. By the time they reached the last stop they were near [[Drotid]] and told her to keep her head down and stay with the wagons; don't look anyone in the eyes. Which she did and there was no trouble. As they turned west and back towards the mountains they offered once they reached [[Nutzdagezehesple]]. That they show her where the forest was and once there and the wagons unloaded. They did as they said and took her to the edge of the forest.<br /> <br /> From those first steps into the forest, the truest meaning of lost set in. She saw it all without knowledge of anything; everything from harpies and the Marethorn trying to take over, and men running about free. Not to mention her newest dislike, mansplaining and the just as bad magesplanning. Over time, she would meet a few people here and there and would travel with them but always returning to her little camp spot in the forest northeasterly of [[Zvidureth]]. Soon she hears of [[Dre%27Ana|Dre'Ana]] followers not just following the faith but banded together in [[Elysia]]; where she goes and try to start a life.<br /> <br /> ==== Elysia ====<br /> <br /> She proved her worth and was accepted into the Warrior Maidens; given the rank of Bow Maiden among their numbers upon earning it. She also attempted to buy a windmill from a local farmer but with her repairs to the structure, the farmer did not sell to her. She had a more modest home constructed out near the ferry landing where many travels to reach Ferrell. She shares the home with her sidekick (or is she the sidekick) the one known as Starfey. Where the two plot and plan gooder acts to help others.<br /> <br /> Recently departed from the southern Warrior Maidens without even speaking or leaving word to them. Now, is doing her own thing.<br /> <br /> == The Blood Wings ==<br /> Misilda had left her family's caravan with her two daughters Aruanya and Dooriya and with a child coming. She left cause her husbands had each died in needless fights leaving her with daughter and no means. Her own family would negotiate a new arranged marriage and marry her off. She didn't want this for herself nor her daughters. Hearing rumors of [[Jechran]] the middle-aged woman turned her wagon northeast and departed her family's caravan. Going wasn't easy even when they entered the lands of [[Deglos]] and [[Galdos]] but they made it after months of traveling in the confines of the mountains. There as they rolled their wagon out into the light, [[Jechran]], the land that almost seemed mythical to her but would offer her and her daughters a life of not being bartered and sold cause traditions say to.<br /> <br /> As they crossed into Jechran, they soon learn the promise of that life is there but it doesn't come easy. Those that seek it work hard, train hard and fight hard to protect it. They found themselves on the lands of the Bright Eagle clan and were allowed to stay if they worked. Which they did until the third daughter was born; Emanaia. Given she had worked hard and her knowledge of ways was vast; Masilda was and her now three children were invited to stay and in time would be allowed to join the tribe. On, Masilda's 43rd year, she hunted and took down a Jechera; rumors have it she had dug a pit and lined it with spears then let the Jechera chase her till reaching the pit where she swung across. The act of taking down a Jechera guaranteed her and her daughters would become Bright Eagle and protected. Not much is recorded of Araunya and Dooriya. Rumors cited Dooriya became a priestess of Dre'Ana and would live deeper in the wilds of Jechran at a secluded abbey. Araunya, took a breeder and became with child but she and the child died in labor. Emanaia, would become best friends with Salbellis the clan leader's daughter. They learn through the stories of the old ones of the Blood Wings; the warriors of Bright Eagles, who protect the lands from the Tyeduians and Gladoisans that did raid. Upon their eighteenth season, both Emanaia and Salbellis offered to become members and hunt the Jechera. It was said that the two left barehanded and wearing no armor but returned two weeks and some days later with meat and skins of the Jechera and each covered in blood as they smiled and held up the tooth to prove the deed. That night as the clan celebrate the return of the friends and the others that had returned earlier. Emanaia and Salbellis announced to the clan the reformation of the Blood Wings to both of their mothers' horror. They knew what it meant and what it cost but the clan was raided seasonal, their orchards and farms always near empty come fall. It was told to the clan and the clan was joyous. How could they be stopped?<br /> <br /> At their first engagement, the Blood Wings only number seven warriors. They had been tracking a small raiding party from Galdos. As they scouted out the orchard for raiding. The Blood Wings attacked unseen. Arrows from all directions and not even a warcry or shout. They took them by surprise and out of the twenty-person raiding party, they spared one heavily wounded gnome but would survive. The one that lived was probably a Knorkogack and was shocked to find out his compatriots and himself were taken down by seven teenage women warriors. They took him to their village and treated his wounds and once he was well enough to travel. They sent him back to Galdos with a message &quot;Bright Eagles are protected by Blood Wings&quot;. So the myth would start. Emanaia and Salbellis would lead the Blood Wings in defense of the Bright Eagle lands and the border of Jechran even alongside some of the most famous clans, tribes, and houses. By the time of two friends taking their first breeders, the Blood Wings now number over forty women; who had matched them strength for strength and clashed arms with their mortal foes the Blue Foxes. Always defeating them even when things looked grim; the two would always find a way. Emania would be with child and give birth to Sarydove while Sabellis would give birth to Haphira. During this time they watched as the Blood Wings and planned the missions but would return to action helping a neighboring tribe the Night Lions. Who was raided via the sea by the Blue Foxes in a night raid that no one saw coming. The two planned to simply repeat the raid. Wich was a stunning victory and led to capture of all the Blue Foxes boats as well as a hoard of seal skins. Blood Wings suffered no losses and the Blue Foxes suffered heavy losses; including the capture of over a dozen young women and men. While being held by the Night Lions awaiting their fate. Many of the young ladies sought Dre'Ana and spoke of her. They were chained and sent away to see if such was true. While the men were branded and sent to work. In time many of the women would return not the Night Lions but the Blood Wings. Seeing women do what they did and with honor was a sight that impressed them. There would be many more battles for Emanaia and Salbellis. Is said that Emanaia never had another daughter but gave birth to four sons over the course of her life. She died in combat, fallen by a waraxe of the Blue Foxes at the Battle of Windy Fields, fighting for the Blood Wings with the Misty Moon Clan of Southen Jechran. Salbellis, would have another daughter and two sons. She saw her friend fall and was never the same again. She turned over the Blood Wings to Sarydove and took her own daughters with her Myelah. <br /> <br /> Sarydove, had inherited a windfall. Trained by her mother, fought alongside her in many battles and was ready to lead the Blood Wings. It is known her first battle was really an ambush. The Blue Foxes had snuck deep into Bright Eagle lands and were waiting for her. All that is known is that while they took her arm, she took all their lives. She survived the loss of her arm, trained herself to fight left handed with a long sword and after three winters led the Blood Wings on a mission of payback. Was said they chased the Blue Foxes from their own land and the sight of Sarydove, the One Arm at the head of the small army was their worse dream come true. Sarydove ensured the Bright Eagles and most of the borderlands with Teydu were peaceful for almost twenty-six years. Like her mother, Sarydove would fall in battle and her daughters were there; Maeradove and Rathadove were commanding the flanks of the Blood Wings as a combined Teyduian force tried to enter Jechran. In a strange and very honorable moment, after the battle which was a horrible stalemate of heavy losses and no gains; each force broke of the will to attack again. The one that fell Sarydove, returned her to Jechran to be honored. The unknown warrior was allowed to retain his ax and armor for the deed and traveled back safely to his camp.<br /> <br /> Maeradove and Rathadove would lead the Blood Wings for near some forty-nine year; almost all of it peaceful with just little skirmishes and raids. Of note; The Bright Eagles leader Esletha, the great-niece of Sabellis by her eldest sister; had yet to give birth to a daughter but had given birth to three boys. Esletha petitioned Myleah for help as she led the tribe. Which Myleah sent a quad of priestess and a breeder of great renown. For thirteen months the quad and breeder were in the main village. She had been with child sent the fifth month and all signs and omens pointed to a daughter. In a twisted fate, Esletha daughter Marriara was stillborn and given a funeral for a great hero. Two years later, the quad returned with another breeder that had blessed six other women all with daughters. Marriara was with child almost instantly and in her eight month, labor started too soon and Esletha and her daughter perished after days of labor. Maeradove would petition Myleah to absorb the Bright Eagles into the Blood Wings but was told the Blood Wings were not a tribe by a Warband. Myleah announced the Bright Eagles dead by lack of daughter. In the uncertainty that followed Maeradove and her lover, Lisvis departed for southern lands away from Jechran. Rathadove would plead with Myleah and in return, the Blood Wings were now seen as a tribe; with Rathadove as their leader. Their lands reduced by two thirds but tribute paid by the surrounding tribes for the service of seeing the border protected. Rathadove would have one daughter and no other children; Sandove. Given birth to Sandove almost took her life and since she had been blessed with a daughter, she was content. She would train Sandove in the ways of the Blood Wings as she and her sister were. Rathadove died at the age believed to be around her ninety-fifth year and in her sleep. <br /> <br /> Sandove the reckless as she would be known as. From the moment of her mother's death, she only made one good choice and that was the selection of a breeder almost instantly. Nine months later she gave birth to Wysadove and left her in the care of the fellow Blood Wings and led the rest one misadventure to another invading Tyedu again and again. She is said to have been killed at the Battle of Four Springs. A needless battle but a victory for the Blood Wings. After the battle, the Blood Wings gathered up their falling leader and retreated back into Jechran. The Blue Foxes near wiped out did not follow. In the interim, the Blood Wings were led by Wysadove in Myleah's eyes but in reality, there was no leader. Everyone did as they needed and helped each other. The border was secure and their land flourish. <br /> <br /> Wysadove refused to take leadership until she had proven herself. Like the 'Mother of Doves' herself. Wysadove set out with nothing and returned weeks later but not with a Jechera tooth as proof of her worth. Instead, she entered the village wearing a lion's mane and carrying a bloody wooden spear. She oversaw possibly the most peaceful history of the Blood Wings. For almost forty years the border was quiet and life was good. In this time, she took many breeders and birthed many boys and three daughters. Soldove, Luradove, and Wolsuldove. Soldove would in time seek Myleah and earned her place at the High Temple leading the guards. Luradove, would take to the seas and rumored to have charted many islands. She departed to Myleah with a small fleet of tribal ships to aid the Southern lands when [[Drotid]] attacked and is rumored to have been captured and killed along with many others. Wolsuldove would rise to power in the wake of her mother's possible death. Wysadove died in battle wearing her lion's mane and leading the Blood Wings against their mortal foes the Blue Foxes at the Battle of Two Creeks. Where Wolsuldove herself is said to have slain twenty-three warriors before no one seeing her. She was not among the dead or wounded. Even attempts to contact the Blue Foxes via proxies proved she was not taken captive to their knowledge. All that is known she was not there at the end.<br /> <br /> Wolsuldove, would lead from her teen years until her death. Always on the hunt for her mother's whereabouts and capturing Blue Foxes for questioning before giving them the sword and death. Blue Foxes banded with their allies and attacked. Wolsuldove was ready and in three bloody battles did what it took Sarydove the One Arm eight battles to achieve. She broke the Blue Foxes of the will and return to Jechran. There she was given breeders but only accepted one. Kevovar, he was called and believed to have been captured at sea by another tribe. She only breeds with him once and nine months later she would give birth to Suldove and Ravadove. After that Kevovar was escorted back to where he was given. Believing these were blessed days with her twins, she wasn't watching the eastern borders. The Blue Foxes had a new ally, 'The Circle' and in the eight years after the battle of that broke the Blue Foxes; they struck back with vengeance all along the border. Battles at Shallow Valley, Sunny Creek, and others were just the start. Wolsuldove's word would descend into darkness at the Battle of Thick Trees. Where 'The Circle' flanked the Blood Wings and attacked the extreme rear where the camps were. In the action that followed, several families were killed, healers and the twin's guard was killed while defending the eight-year-olds and Ravadove was killed in a brutal fashion. Suldove was taken and never seen again by her mother. Which led to countless and at times almost reckless battles led by Wolsuldove. Which went through the rest of the season and into the winter until the lands were not suitable for fighting. As spring thawed the lands. Wulsuldove led the Blood Wings into the bloodiest and most one-sided battle ever. The Battle of Frozen Creek destroyed the Blood Wings. Wolsuldove and some two hundred plus Blood Wings fought the Blue Foxes and 'The Circle' at a frozen creek inside the lands of [[Tyedu]].

<p>Its me Gutemensch: /* NPC's associated with Drakehall Keep */</p> <hr /> <div>==Demographics==<br /> *Location: Northwestern M'Chek<br /> *Land Size: TBA<br /> *Population: TBA<br /> *Religions: Mixed; tending to good intentions<br /> *Exports: Beer and Leather<br /> *Colors: Black, Silver, and M'Chekian Blue<br /> *Sigil: The heads of a hawk and a silver dragon facing each other on a field of M'Chekian blue.<br /> <br /> ==History of Drakehall==<br /> <br /> === Early History ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was built many generations ago in the untamed wilderness of the M’Chekian grasslands and served as the first ancestral fortress of the powerful House Drake. The Drake’s carved out a name for themselves in the harsh and unforgiving wilds, and this fortress provided a beacon of safety and protection to the men and women living in this region.&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> Situated in western M’Chek, the Keep is nestled in a shallow valley and is surrounded by low, sweeping hills and fertile farmlands. It borders Nelthropian lands and the Hills of the Order of the Way to the north, with Westshore and Bachwood edging its southern boundaries. The Keep is made of stone and is 2 stories in height, with a small watch tower built atop the southwest corner of the roof. Underground rooms provide storage and other necessities.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> As time passed, the Drake’s power and influence grew and with it, a new port rose out of necessity nearby along the western coastline. Westshore was established and the Drake’s shifted their seat of power to that newly settled coastal settlement.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Drakehall Keep was still used by the Drake’s and those loyal to their banner over the next few generations, but over time it was neglected and fell into disrepair.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Change in Ownership === <br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake of Westshore served as the ruling noble in House Drake. It can be reasoned that this power was not enough for him, and he craved more influence over M’Chek. To this end, he spearheaded efforts at what became plans for an eventual coup attempt.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Constantine’s plans for a coup focused on many fronts. He conspired with numerous individuals to kidnap the young nephew and niece from Chasworth Keep, Edgar and Audra Harwood, the heirs of Lord Tobias Chasworth, as well as General Cassius of the M’Chekian Army. Additionally, aided by General Percival Tate and the disgraced Colonel Tanners, there were many attempted assassinations of multiple nobles in key positions of power and influence. The men also flooded the southwest and the northwest M’Chekian countryside with bandits to sow panic and confusion within the general population.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> With the aid of a force hired by Prime Minister Deth and Lord Harvingdale, many nobles were protected from assassination attempts and they ultimately captured the elusive Lord of Westshore. The soldiers of the Skybolt Battalion subdued Lord Drake’s army and all the key players were in custody with the exception of General Tate, who evaded capture.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Lord Constantine Drake was executed by hanging in the Garrison Square of Mikona, after being tried by a jury of his peers in the Noble House. Numerous charges were leveled against him and his co-conspirators to include treason, conspiracy to murder more than a dozen nobles, kidnapping, and a number of other undisclosed crimes. Lord Drake did not swing by the neck that morning by himself; both Colonel Tanners and a mercenary named Geoffrey were executed alongside the disgraced noble.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Aftermath of Drake's Revolt ===<br /> <br /> In the wake of the death of Constantine Drake, the Noble House deemed it necessary to offer Lord Chasworth reparations for the injuries inflicted on his heirs while held captive by Lord Drake’s conspirators. Lord Chasworth was gifted several select pieces of ancestral Drake lands by the Noble House, specifically Drakehall and Drakeshore in western M’Chek.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Sir Thaylis Beign had just recently retired from serving as the Brigadier and commanding officer of the Blackhawk Brigade, and after some private discussions with Lord Chasworth, the former officer and Hero of M’Chek accepted a position as a vassal to the older man. Sir Thaylis Beign was granted stewardship of the Drake family ancestral home and the lands surrounding it. With this new responsibility, he is entrusted to oversee the prosperity and welfare of Drakehall Keep and the loyal M’Chekian citizens who live in the surrounding holdings.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Once Sir Thaylis took control of Drakehall, many structural repairs needed to be carried out on the neglected fortress. The repairs were quickly made and Thaylis put a public notice out to the nation, asking for former Blackhawks to fill the ranks of a company of guardsmen needed to serve at Drakehall Keep. Nearly 2 dozen men and women answered the call to his banner. Additionally, Rickus va’Alor, priest to Toran, serves as the garrison commander of the Keep. In addition to these duties, Rickus had requested a small chaplet be built on the lands of Drakehall and to this end, roughly a dozen followers of Toran has joined him. They serve as part of the guard company as well.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> === Recent Events ===<br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Lady Finmaegen's judgment over a group of Snorko's Dubunant half-orc army veterans, Drakehall Keep took into service 5 of their group to bolster the garrison, swelling the number to roughly 40 men and women. A newly built guard tower was constructed adjacent to the Keep, and all members of the company were given a silver insignia which identified them as Drakehall soldiers. <br /> <br /> In the aftermath of Dunster's Private war against the Thrope and its Cult of the Five Messengers, Drkahall claimed some 30 loyal M'Chekian troops that fled to Drakehall. With Lord Chasworth's loss of his ancestral home. Some 200 refugees have made the long journey to Drakehall.<br /> <br /> === Current Status and Garrison ===<br /> <br /> Drakehall is at peace and maintaining 3 full companies of guards; Dragon, Wyvern, and Hyrda.

Where it was sold to Drakehall. Her battery of some 10 cannons was removed and transported to Drakehall for security reasons. Given her familiar rigging and lines. It was almost impossible to sail her out of T'Nanshi cove into M'Chekian waters without the M'Chekian Navy spotting her and intercepting her. Even with papers filed in Mikona stating she was Drakehall property did little to stop this. In the end, the Magenta was renamed &quot;Rose of Dre'Ana&quot; and sailed to Myleah, Jechran to be sold to the Starbloods and become the flagship of the Jerchanian Navy.<br /> <br /> == Key Figures of Drakehall Keep ==<br /> <br /> ===PC's associated with Drakehall Keep===<br /> *[[PCs:Thaylis Beign|Thaylis Beign]] - Knight of Drakehall.
