When the Fyros delved too deep and the Kiton came, she had not yet been concieved, yet their swarming laid out the course of her life like a desert wind arranges the sands.

Her parents were aged nearly to the brink of childbirthing years, but wanted a warrior, needed a son. Thier eldest child had been in the first wave of battle against the invasion, too young, untrained. And as a coward he fled at the sight of thier waves. His fellow soldiers delivered the news like a wrapped satchel of dead things, unsavory, cold. And so dishonored by thier child's flight, they chose to create a new life to correct the blight on their clan name.
They concieved a son.

They gave birth to a daughter.

Thus in dishonor and remorse was Eohrah brought to the world of Atys, in the shadow of her elder brother's shame, and her parents' failure. As she grew she learned the art of combat like a male, a hard and war torn path of growth her parents forged for her out of spite for the hand the creator Jena had dealt them. Then when she came of age, and the tides of Kiton had receeded enough to venture out of thier cache place, she was told of her brother's tale. Of his dishonor and flight.

Expecting thier child to take to arms in his stead, her parents were again smited by the fates. For while she took to arms, the tale of this young warrior gone astray lighted a fire in her heart for her kin.

Thusly she set off into the world with but one goal. To find her brother. And bring him back to honor if a last vestige of it remained in his Fyros soul.

One day, she promised her parents to thier own remorse, she and he would fight side by side against the remaining kiton, and drive them home correcting the honor of all thier peoples' misgivings.

One day she would find her brother, and the tide of war and honor would change.

((Anyone of any race/faction please feel free to plop thier character background stories in here too! I have several more to add in, whee alts! And am curious to see what other stories are going on out there, being new to the game. All r/pers welcome, all non r/pers welcome too.))

My name is Saiwin. My mother passed away when I was young, and I was raised by my father, a hunter. My father had studied the arts and sciences of the Matis and passed much of his knowledge on to me. He also taught me to survive, and to be self-sufficient. As a naturally curious youth, I absorbed it all like a sponge.

Eventually I decided to take my place in society. I set a goal for myself to become a guard in one of the nearby towns, but my years of simple and isolated living made it hard to fit in. While I was struggling with life in a community, my father died. I left for the mainland in desperation.

For a couple of years I shut myself up in the forest of Majestic Garden, living as a hunter with no hopes or ambitions. Then things began to change, and I perceived the light of Jena. I started making friends among the tribesmen of the Green Seed, and providing assistance to the Matis officers in Yrkanis. As time passed I learned that the skills my father passed on could be put to real use. I began looking for a guild that was inspired by Jena and driven by understanding and action under Her watch. After some failure finding such a group, and some success as a warrior, I created a guild myself, the Silver Watch, to fill the role I had found lacking in society.
