Novalina'dia Ravecyne

Father –

I don't really remember much about my father, due to the fact that he died when I was only some where in my 30's so many centruries ago. The one thing that I do remember is he knew what he had to do in order to protect his kids, and friends. Though that is hard when you are fighting people who are much more advanced than you. People that can step on you and not even notice you are there.

If one thing he taught to me sunk in, that still remembered is always protect those that are not able to protect themselves. My older sister took this lesson to heart as well, but we approach how to do this in totally different ways. Maybe it is because she knew father better, and watched his method fail.

Mother – Valranth Ravecyne

The thing about my mother is that while she was longer, my sister calms she changed when he died. Something about her losing her solemate or something. She would go any mission for the war effort she could. She was really trying to die in combat, something about that being the only reasonable way to die. I don't quiet understand that line of thinking to be honest with you, especially with her bad luck that kept her from meeting her end.

The thing I know is that it felt like she abandoned me, and my sister too. This left a very a strong impact on me, of how you treat those you care about the most. This is probable why I am as old as I am, and still single. Humanity still needs protection from outside forces, or from humanity, and until the world is truely safe I can't really stop to think about having a family of my own.

Growing up during a war that lasts as long as the one we lived through changes you, as I have seen with my sister, and several others. There are times when I sit back and hypothesis what my life would of been like if I was born after the most major war that I have ever seen. One where Humanity, well most of humanity faught for its freedom.

All of our family was one of those who fought, even when I was not an adult I was part of the war learning how to fight at a young age. Fighting at a young age, probable because my sister wanted me to be good at protecting myself if nothing else.

Anyways, after the war is when I finally believed my sister about Mother having changed after the war. She kind of just went through the motions of living. She lost a lot of her luster for life, I think it was probable due to the fact that she realized fate didn't want her to join her husband until she died a natural death. The only time she seems to care about living is when me or my sister visit her. Than she comes out of her shell and cares about living.

Norose'akai Raveycne

So the thing with growing up, is I am unsure how I am suppose to act as a proper elf. I realize there are probable cultural things that I just don't really understand. That is probable because my sister and my mother are the only others elf I knew for my first hundred years of life. From inquiring from other elfs, it is common for elf siblings to be several decades different in age, and thats true of Noro. She is over three decades my elder.

She made sure that I was always well looked after. I am sure that she sometimes broke the rules to make sure I had food. She was like a shadow, you could never see her in the dark. Even I had a hard time knowing if she was in the same room as me, and I was her sister. Don't get me wrong I love my sister to the core, but I know that she is willing to be a criminal to protect those she cares about.

A prime example of this is when on my hundredth birthday, when I finally became an adult and was no longer a child she wanted to properly celebrate. In order to do this, she had a plan, which involved her she disappearing for a whole month. Arriving back a few days before my birthday, and wouldn't tell me where she had been, or why she had abandoned her post. I am only thankful for the fact that at that time we were not a known camp of rebels. That is probable because like most camps we were hidden in the Wode.

Though on the night of when my birthday was, my sister procured a bunch of the strong stuff. We got really well and totally wasted. I don't quite remember all the mischief we got into that night. I do know that the next day I went on a mission. I don't even remember the exact details of the mission, I think it may have been a scouting mission to find a safe place to build a watch point from.

This maybe my bias showing but I always felt that my sister was very good at being a shadow, as well as surviving off anything. Both of those things I wish I could do myself, but neither was my expertise. I am best while fighting with a rapier and shield, preferable in armour heaver than leather, but lighter than plate. For ranged I prefer darts, which others have understand and done the same, but others look at me weird for not using the Bow and Arrows. They are the rare people who don't understand that you can have a ton more darts in the same space as arrows.

As well as the fact that the the heaver armor takes a lot longer to put on. Me and my sister both agree that lighter armour is better for you than the strong armour. While I may not be as good at sneaking around and killing people in the dark as my sister, I can steal sneak around better in the light armour.

Zenith Champion

So this was at one time a military order of Sillelio dedicated to being as much of a champion for humans. At one time it had many members. I think the history of this order has been lost to the madness of Sillelio. Like the Church of the Morning Sun, the Zenith Champion's focus on Protection and Hope.

Tenates of Faith

Sunlight: With the power of the Sun at its highest point, no enemies of humanity can hide anywhere. Therefore that is when they are there weakest and must be destroyed.

Night heat: It is said that the sun's heat stays around even after the sun sets. As best seen in places that have shadows, the ground will release the stored up energy. Just like this we have to hunt the enemies of humanity, even where and when they are strongest.

Sunstroke: Just like the sun gives us good things, to much good things can be bad. The sun is no different to much time in the sun can cause us pain and suffering. We must not pursue and punish Enemies to the point of where the sacrifice and protection of humanity has.

Worship:

When the sun raises at the beginning of the day, at the time when the sun is at its Zenith, and when the sun sets is when the Zenith Champion must pray. No less than 10 minutes, no more than 30 minutes of prayer each time.

Karamedyees

So I was assigned to a scouting group to figure out an enemies stronghold. It went very badly, I don't think it was the giants who ambushed us. I just think we came across something unrelated to the war that ambushed us and demolished us all. I would of bleed out and died that day if, Karamedyees, (Medyees), hadn't come across us.

I owe my life to him, though I don't really appreciate the how that he did it. From what I was informed the others where already dead, and I was on the way there. It doesn't change the fact that there body fluids and parts where used to save my life.

Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look it that wasn't the last time that he saved my life. Though that was probable the time that I was closest to death that he saved my life. I have also come across Medyees in places of civilization, and the wilds while in good health and learnt that he is about a century younger than me. Though Loxodon's don't age the same way that Elves do, he is a decent enough person if you do not get in his way while he is healing.

Lady Zed

After the war I started wondering the world, rooting out evils. Never really doing anything major or epic but helping out a few people here and there. It turns out you can do a lot without doing anything at all. Which on one hand is disapointing, but on the other hand you get to deal with the imediate dangers of the those around you.

It is through this protectiong of humanity that I met the Human who called herself Lady Zed. I am unsure if the title of Lady was of true nobility or if she was just pretending, but she seemed to know a lot of human aristocratical traditions. Though out of her traveling companions, I seemed to be the only one that stuck around a while.

That is how I learnt that weather or not she was a Lady would not impact that she was a Thief with enemies who where hunting her down. I never really got any type of story from her, but as she was my friend. I protect my friends, even if that relationship is not returned to me.

Eventually she decided to settle down with another human that we had travelled with that flirted with her. To top it off she had decided to settle down on a farm, away from really any form of civilization. I understand her reasoning behind this and completely supported it at the time

Derek Drematize

Humans don't live that long, they tend to be frail beings. Though both Lady Zed and her husband died of old age, surrounded by there family. Most of the kids left for other things, a few stuck around the farm to help it be profitable and sustainable. Though it was never a more than about twenty people working and living on the farm at a time. Those that did want to stay did leave to find spouses.

Derek has Lady Zed's red hair so I know he is of one of her children and not one that they have married. As well as that he is the current head of the farm, and from what I can tell a person who wants his farm to survive as best as he can.

I try to make sure I visit the farm ever two to five years, but there have been times when the visits are closer to ten years. I always do my best to visit either during harvest or during the planting season in order to provide help. I always do it for just the food, and sleep where ever there is room: Outside, in the barn, in the cellar or wherever.

I am family friend and have watched Derek go from being a young child to a grown man to a father of many. I share news of the world with them when I stop over. Never mentioning that I am doing this as favour to Lady Zed and her husband. I really think that they have a nice place for themselves. Though it being along a travelled road does help somewhat.
