Name: Nalashira Elif Zenyep
Aliases: Nala, Elli, Zennie
Age: 19
Race/Ethnicty: Human
Place of Origin:
Architecture: Elir Nazik possess architecture similar to that of Turkish architecture but with a wider range of bright colors. Many buildings are domed in the city and spires are often seen from almost anywhere.
Culture: Elir Nazik is a female dominated culture despite the ratio of females to males be one to five. Females are raised from a young age(Seven years old) to become War Maidens, the fighting force of the Kingdom. This entails learning everything from simple tactics to fighting with the myriad of curved swords found within Elir Nazik. Females are expected to choose their husband and husbands mostly live a domesticated life of weaving, cooking, and farming. A young woman often sets out from Elir Nazik on a ten year journey after she turns eighteen, a process which begins with them joining a tribe of the desert.
Each journey has a different purpose depending on the War Maiden. Some go out to pray at Shrines for the safety of Elir Nazik while others travel beyond the desert, visiting the myriad of Kingdoms outside of their home and encountering the various people who live in these places. A War Maiden is not to return to the city before her ten years are up nor are they allowed to return should they not return before the end of an eleventh year.
Ethnicity: The people of Elir Nazik are of darker skin than those of say plains or forests. Their hair is naturally brown and borderline black, though there are those who posses blonde hair and are often revered for their beauty. Many of the people of Elir Nazik are tall and possess long hair which they obsessively keep smooth.

Intelligence:14

Charisma:10
Height: 5’4
Weight: 127lbs
Build:Nalashira is a girl of rare complexion from her Kingdom, possessing skin which is likened to that of ivory and has never known blemish nor scar. Her shoulder length hair is kept combed and clean, a habit that she grew to posses during her life back at home. Its dark brown color creates a remarkable contrast to her pale skin, a contrast which has often been noticed by male suitors. Her eyes are a wondrous, emerald green casted with in round eyes unlike that her of mother and father, who posses almond shaped eyes. Nalashira’s form is far from imposing though her training as a War Maiden makes up for such a weakness.
Day To Day Attire: Nala often wears clothing of light brown and tan clothing made of light cotton that flows and doesn’t cling to her frame though it is often covered by her leather armor covering her chest, shoulders, and upper arms.
Personality: Despite having been raised to be a fighter from a young age, Nala is a surprisingly girly woman. She enjoys the natural beauty of Elir Nazik as the sun rises over it in the morning and when it sets at night. She obsessively posses a drive to protect that beauty with her life and has vowed to stay alive no matter what just so she can see its sunrise once more. Nala often wandered the streets of Elir Nazik at night when she can’t sleep, finding peace in her aimless wandering of the streets which she has walked for many years. She keeps her feelings of worry or doubt to herself, thinking it better to hide it from others and be strong for them rather than have them worry for her. Once Nala has decided a course of action, she will follow it till her goal is realized and resists straying from the path.
Nala enjoys the company of others, though she is often reserved and shy when presented with people not from Elir Nazik. Though a hard nut to crack open, Nala enjoys learning from those she knows little of and wishes to embark on her Journey to discover the many people of the world. She is loyal to those who she trusts and often deviates from her teachings as a War Maiden, choosing to call those who are close to her family even if they are seen as a weakness. Her defiance of the teachings of the War Maidens shows heavily when compared to another, being that she is bubbly and likeable rather than distant and cold.

Childhood: Born the daughter of a War Maiden and a skilled Cook, much was expected from Nalashira when she was young. If she did not show the skill meant for being a War Maiden, she was to train with her Father and become a Cook, a disgrace which would have marked her as unfitting to inherit anything from her parents. Like many young girls, she played with colorful fabrics and braided hair. Nala grew up quickly, seeing the world that she only knew as Elir Nazik to be a stepping stone in what would be a Journey. She looked forward to becoming a War Maiden and, even though she knew it would mean many years of arduous training, knew that she’d come out for the better. Her days were spent running through the streets of Elir Nazik, playing tag and chasing after the dogs and cats which often wandered the streets of her home. As she grew older, her Mother grew harsher on her, telling her to act more as a War Maiden for that was what she was to become. Nala naturally rebelled against her Mother’s harsh treatment and showed that she would not be tamed the same way her Mother was. Though, this trait was one which would not grow prominent until she was faced with the training of the War Maidens.
As with all the girls who reached the age of seven, Nala was taken to the War Academy to be trained by the Maidens and to never see her Family except for once a year. Her days were filled with intense physical training while her evenings were spent studying warfare. She excelled in the training courses the War Maidens put her through, showing extraordinary agility and strength even for a girl her size. Yet, Nala slacked off on her studies and often spoke out against her teachers. For her insubordination, Nala had to endure the heat of a fire mere inches away from her which would burn for hours. Were she to pass out from the heat, she would be thrown out of the Academy. Thus, Nala endured the torturous actions of the War Maidens and grew to realize that they were not the noble women of legend who protected Elir Nazik. Many years passed and Nala grew into womanhood, attracting the eyes of many men and even some women who envied her.
Adulthood: A few months before she turned eighteen, Nala graduated from the Academy and was sent home with praise as she graduated the top of her class. She was to go on her Journey as soon as she turned eighteen and was given the months before then to prepare as she saw fit. Many of Nala’s nights were spent wandering Elir Nazik, thinking on what she had been taught and even occasionally letting her thoughts wander to the topic of boys and her future. Her days were spent wandering the bazaar and spending what money she had in acquiring weaponry which she could call her own. She is only a day before having to leave Elir Nazik and worry is eating away at her, not knowing what to expect when she leaves the gates of her home to explore the worlds. Somehow, she managed to go to sleep the night before, finding her bed to be a comfort like no other.
Character Quote: “Sometimes I yearn for the seas of sands, yet then I remember that they are nothing like the sights I have seen out here in the Green.”

Skills
A listing of skills, such as horseback riding, and natural abilities, such as night vision - this also includes any racial edges
- Skill: Weapons Mastery: War Maidens are trained in all the weapons of Elir Nazik and, as such, Nala has mastered the usage of every one. Despite this, Nala shows a tendency to use curved swords as her weapons though she occasionally uses a bow and arrow.
- Skill: War Training: Having trained for many years in combat, often mock fighting against those stronger than herself, Nala is well versed in the flowing combat style of the War Maidens. Her movements flow together and link as if one led to another. Her movements are likened to that of a dancer.
- Skill: Extreme Agility: Elir Nazik is not a city one traverses by its streets alone, as any person who calls it home knows well enough. Having spent many years running through the city itself, jumping over waterways and climbing walls, Nala has developed a skill for moving quickly.
- Skill: Desert Survival: Life in the desert is a harsh one and one which no outsider could survive for long, thus it is only natural that Nala knows well how to live within the deserts of her birth. She feels at home in almost any desert, knowing how to find water and kill for meat when the need arises.
Magic
- Spell: Platform: “I’ve always wanted to know what it felt like to fly like a bird, but I’m not one so I can’t. Of course, isn’t it our nature to try and reach for the sky and touch it like they do? I guess I just had to do it my own way instead.”
Platform, the ability to solidify whatever substance is beneath one’s feet and thus allow you to stand on it as if it was solid. With Platform, Nala can easily walk across deep waters and even step on air as if it were nothing but stairs. In its simplest form, Platform can be used to allow the user to have greater traction on sand. But Nala’s usage of Platform is unique due to her using it to propel herself into the air as if she were flying. She simply needs to infuse the air beneath her with magic and jump off it to propel herself further upwards, forming a new platform every time it is needed. - Spell: Propel: “Focus on the force of the wind as it moves through your hair, force it to move faster. Knock them off their feet my dear.”
Propel allows the user to control the very wind around them to send an opponent flying. Depending on the amount of magic pulled into the spell, it can send a human flying backwards by two to ten meters. - Spell: Servants: “These little creatures are golems, made from enchanting and alchemy. They live to serve you so long as you treat them well.”
Servants are small golems made from any material around the user at the time, requiring equivalent exchange and an equal amount of magic to turn a mud golem into stone. With enough magic and time, the user can make a golem of about human size that will consistently exist till destroyed or dispelled, drawing on the magic around itself for its existence. Doing as such, though, can take several hours of solid focus. - Spell: Flash-fire: “A fire is dangerous, it can wipe out nearly all of your season’s crops here in the desert. That’s why we are always on the watch for flash-fire.”
Flash-fire, the ability to create a fire from nothing, is a upper level skill even for one who had been taught some magic in her early years of training. The goal of Flash-fire is to create a fire on the target area, thus burning the target till the fire dies out.

Cassandra R. Bhiloda-Darila
Character Image:
Without her shoes on and with a different clothes on, which isn't her dress or casual clothes. This fits much better than trying to look one and I had someone help me with this, you could say, that is @SleepingSilence. When she has the time, she can probably create these clothes and it is definitely not the same necklace. Mostly because of the fact, no one in RL is born with Silver hair...

Psychological Attributes
Kind * Prideful * Fearful of Spiders * Dreamer
Personality: Her personality is very kind, generous, and proud about her family's status in the Noble City of Thrayheath. She gets very easily annoyed and can have a short temper when it deals with something she takes pride in, her last name that her parents pronounce wrong all the time even though it is their last names too. She is obsessed by jewelry since it is the most beautiful thing compared to her and anything else; she takes pride in her jewelry she was given to her by her parents, which is only hers. She also loves the same sex, she gets a little bit hot and bothered around females her own age or not. She has a fondness for rain since it usually constantly rains in the Noble City for weeks on end. This is the very core of her personality, things have chipped it, and she usually puts on a different mask to keep her very core of her being intact.
She absolutely has a terrible fear of spiders and because of this fear she usually tries to hide the fact, she is afraid of spiders. Therefore, she is terrible in acting, when she sees a spider of any size and usually gets a panic attack of uncontrollably crying. In addition, she was scarred for life when she saw a Brown Depth Spider, while it was raining talking to her and her mother and did not attack the Harbormaster at all and this spider was taunting the Noble City, and this means she will faint into unconscious if the Spider tries to get too close to her. She also dislikes or hates the sun because her skin, it very easily burns and she has to wear a cloak most of the time, when it is sunny. She has a cautious feeling of dread if her beautiful pale white, skin gets a blemish since it terrifies her more than being killed. She has a noble set of ideals and anything that ruins her beauty usually makes her highly depressed since a Noble Family raised her in the Noble City. She is a little bit risky in her appearance in terms of her clothes she wears to a fight but she likes flaunting her beauty any chance she gets.
She has a slight hatred on the rules of the Noble City, the conscription law, and the law where it is not applicable to date the same sex or marry the same sex. She is very proud of being a progeny in terms of Longbows, since it took her a year to master them instead of some people's kids to take two years or longer, however she had no real choice on the matter. She hates the double standards of her home city, she wants to change it by reforms, and other such things since it needs to be equal than it is now, in terms of certain freedoms need to be accepted. She loves her parents for the choice they gave her to keep the secret of her being a lesbian but it also hurt herself self-confidence as a whole it made her very disappointed in how she was going about things. She went on a self-exile to find out more about herself but it started after she turned 17 years old and this self-exile her parents fully supported. She was demoralized when she learned that her parents were feigning ignorance about her being the one thing they did not want. Her mother Madison came up to her on her 14th birthday and literally told the truth about what she knew and gave her a choice it was self-exile or banishment and forced joining the military when she gets back. However, they wanted her to self-exile herself on her 17th year birthday to explore the great vast planet to understand the reasons why, the Noble City of Thrayheath has these strict laws.
She wants to be an Oceanographer and travel the seas in a ship since she loves the oceans a lot and it is very pretty. She heard a rumor about some people who used to be from the Noble City of Thrayheath that was banished completely. In addition, this rumor was from her own parents if she does not want anyone's ire do not associate you with people who want to destroy the peace and prosperity of the Noble City. She was quite worried about what that rumor meant but she knew she could not tell anyone about her self-exile from the city. Three years later, is when she left the Noble City of Thrayheath in her own self-exile and she was told to try to reach the Andale Tower, to meet a Bhiloda-Darila Noble Family Agent by the name of Maria H. Cruces, which had important information for her and her family.
Skills
- Coordination: She has great hand to eye coordination and is very good at balancing too. She hardly trips over herself only in a few occasions that are. When she was near people around her own age and her own gender, which causes these embarrassing moments.
- Longbow Mastery: She mastered the longbow in a very short timeframe; it only took her, an entire year. She forced herself to train constantly with a longbow, so her father wouldn't no longer punish her.
- Oceanographer: She wants to travel the seas with the wind in her hair. She learned this during her Conscription Training. She wants to be a captain of a seafaring vessel and help out everyone, wherever she needs to go.
- At a Glance: She can tell if a sea vessel is on its last legs or brand-new and has been keeping up on its maintenance. She learned this while she was in Conscription Training by her mother who can tell seafaring vessels are almost broken down and needs replacing or just needs minor repairs. How they swayed in the sea by the movement of the water around the seafaring vessel.
- Conscription Training: She was conscripted when she was nine years old to learn the Longbow for the survival of her entire city. She was forced to learn every single detail of how to properly wield the longbow. Her father was a cruel taskmaster when teaching his daughter how properly to wield the longbow; if she failed, she would be punished without food. She learned At a Glance, Oceanographer, and Longbow Mastery from this training regime. The parents of the conscripted can train the child in their regime, if one fails to do so they can be forced to go without food or other necessities.
- Magic Attunement: She learned this own her own, this was on her own time as being trained to protect her home city from Spiders. She was attuned to healing and water magic since it suited her needs, and someone saw her training with this magic and decided to teach her some important things about magic. One of her instructors mostly by the name of Derrick N. Draevan, who was a part of training magical adepts to better handle the Giant Spiders over the soldiers who use bows or swords. She learned that overusing magic is a worse fate than death since you can become a monster who hungers for the magical essences of everyone ever and this horrified her. He told her that water is all around us in the Noble City since it is constantly raining while life is just where you find it. He taught her how to enchant an arrow with Ice and shoot it at a target. The Magic Attunement Training happened separately from her Conscription Training since it was not her parents teaching her and someone else. She was taught two spells from Derrick N. Draevan one for Offensive purposes, which is Enchanted Ice Arrow and one for longevity that is Enchanted Water Pouch.
Magic
- Healing Touch: It heals light wounds of scratches, cut marks, and other such things. It is a basic healing spell and it glows similarly to her core of personality. It glows Pink, Orange, and Red that is a gentle to the touch when she is healing someone. this magic spell's cast time is 15 minutes to 30 minutes and that is up to the injury that needs to be healed, the more dangerous the longer it takes since it is her concentration needs a little bit more to get the right amount of pressure while her healing touch happens. The elements need to cast is anything of its affinity, which is healing and high amounts of concentration. The drawback is if she loses, her concentration for too long the spell will utterly fail and backfire on her in a feedback loop, which will cause her spell to not be able to be used for at least an entire week.
- Water Bolt: This is simply a bolt of water, which in colder climates will freeze into a freeze bolt. It flies slower than an arrow from a longbow or a crossbow. The casting time is short compared to other spells since it is a base level spell in the water affinity, it requires water to cast, and the expected damage of said spell is low compared to other spells. The Drawback it of casting this spell is she cannot cast it again for every 2 hours or it has to hit a target before it can be cast again.
- Enchanted Ice Arrow: Derrick N. Draevan taught this to her. Enchanted Ice Arrow uses her depression to make up for certain things in her life, which classified as a great disappointment. The Enchanted Ice Arrow when it hits a target it slows it down for a short duration up to 1 hour but it cannot go any higher than that. The damage is similar to an actual arrow but it has the added bonus of ice damage, which is low to medium depending on if they are weak to the element or not. It requires water to cast on an arrow, which will freeze on the arrow's tip and make it ice but she will need to shoot it out of her Longbow to get the desired effect. The drawback of casting this spell is she cannot cast it again for 3 hours after it has been casted. It is only because of the mastery of this spell.
- Enchanted Water Pouch: Derrick N. Draevan taught this to her. Enchanted Water Pouch makes the water within a water pouch last a lot longer than supposed to be since it refills the water. The casting time is only 15 minutes but the spell lasts for three days but the refilling nature of this spell slowly drains Cassandra's mana until it reaches half. The element required is water. The drawback of casting this more than required is it will completely drain all of Cassandra's Mana and requires her to sleep for more than eight hours to recover it.
Possessions
Possessions
- Vurin's Necklace of Worship: This necklace, Cassandra wears more times than her family heirloom since she is very devoted to the religion that the Noble City practices, even though it allows all forms of worship in the city. It is made from silver, with its religious icon being a Lightning Bolt and a raindrop to show reasons why you must always be grateful to the skies. The Raindrop is Cassandra's Birthstone is a pearl.

- Bag of Assortment Items: This bag carries flint and steel, a dairy, and writing utensils. This bag is a little bit less extravagant than the larger one she has, which carries her other stuff including other things. This bag is small enough to be put on her waist.
- Water Pouch: It is a big water pouch, which carries enough water before it needs to be refilled as long as you are not going through a Desert. The water pouch will be needed to refill at a watering hole or by rain.
- Small Skinning Knife: The small skinning knife is to do some skinning of animals, which she catches for hunting. It is on her waist in a knife holder.
Weapons:
- Composite Longbow with decoration on it: It has three smallish emeralds embedded in the wood to give it a sparkly look. The Longbow has a certified name of the crafter of the weapon as well as her name underneath. Heather L. Soren-Esta is the name of the Fletcher and she gave this to Cassandra as a work order but put her name on it. The Fletchers follow the code to the letter in the Noble City of Thrayheath. This Composite Longbow costs 1,500g from her father's own pockets since he wanted his daughter to be happy after completely mastering the Longbow training in only a year. Heather gave this Composite Longbow to her in her home, after Cassandra's horrible ordeal a week ago with a Brown Deep Spider. Cassandra was 10 years old at the time.
- Quiver highly decorated: The Quiver was made out of hard leather and was decorated with emeralds and rubies. This quiver can carry up to 55 arrows in it. The best fletchers in the Noble City of Thrayheath masterly created the arrows. Cassandra's order was only for 50 arrows out of the 55, the quiver could carry. It has a secret compartment for her coin pouch, which does not hurt the durability of the Quiver itself. This Quiver with 50 arrows costs 125g from her father's own pockets since he wanted his daughter to be happy after completely mastering the Longbow training in only a year. Heather gave this Quiver with the 50 arrows in it to Cassandra in her home, after Cassandra's horrible ordeal a week ago with a Brown Deep Spider. Cassandra was 10 years old at the time.
Animals:
- Thrayheathian Hawk: The Thrayheathian Hawk is on the city's flag from afar, the Hawk is symbolized as the strength to fly across the skies when it is still raining and only take a rest. Cassandra has a Hawk; she usually allows it its free space. The domestic hawk usually takes long times away from its owner Cassandra to hunt for prey to be well fed before returning to her. Her parents got the Thrayheathian Hawk when she was young around 5 years old way before she was conscripted into the defense of her city. The Hawk is bred within the walls of the city, in any number of specialized homes that love animals to an extreme and the Hawk usually picks its owner before its owner knows it. Cassandra gave this hawk a nickname by the name of Dart since it has a dart of red on its beak. The other thing about this hawk is unique about it; it shares the same eye color of its owner.
Pack Contents:
- Nightgown: The Nightgown is made of silk the same as her countess dress, which goes past her knees. The nightgown has a pair of cotton underwear with it since she does not wear a bra with her nightgown.
- The Noble Dress: The countess dress, which is made up of colors that make her eyes and hair stand out more. The primary color of this dress is blue while the trim is black and has some silvery bits here and there. The Countess Dress is made up of silk. She has a bra to go with this noble dress, which is 35C in size.
- The Necklace of Pride: This is very similar to a Regal Aurora Borealis Crystal Necklace but it is crafted by the best with emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and Zircon Gems, the primary jewel on the necklace is called the Pride of Bhiloda-Darila, which is a beautifully found pearl, and it was cut to be in a round configuration. The pearl is completely see through instead of what pearls are, it is very similar to a diamond but not. She wears this necklace in her noble attire over her casual attire.
- Tent: She carries a tent in her pack it is a good-sized tent for two people at least.
- Extra Clothes: She carries extra clothes within her pack, which are usually an extra shirts and skirts for her casual set since wear and tear can happen.
- Secret Pouches: She has assorted items within these pouches there is a total of eight but she carries at least enough magical supplies to use her magic, which is classified as healing magic or attack spells but they are very limited.
Potions:
- Mana Potion: The mana potion recovers mana so Cassandra can use her magic spells again but it is not instantly. It takes about 30 to an hour before it can recover a large amount of used up mana. The taste of the mana potion has a somewhat sweet and sour taste to it.
- Healing Potion: The Healing Potion recovers health so Cassandra can heal injuries quicker than normal. It takes about 15 minutes to 30 minutes fully to recover from minor injuries, but it will take longer if the injuries are more severe. The taste of the Healing potion has a somewhat sweet taste to it.
- Anti-Poison Salve: The Anti-Poison Salve does what it says, it protects from poison for at least 3 hours before you have to take it again. However, it has a very bitter taste to it, since it is made from ingredients in the Noble City and not all Anti-Poison Salves taste the same.
- Anti-Poison Salve: The Anti-Poison Salve does what it says, it protects from poison for at least 3 hours before you have to take it again. However, it has a very bitter taste to it, since it is made from ingredients in the Noble City and not all Anti-Poison Salves taste the same.
- Anti-Tanning Salve: The Anti-Tanning Salve is a strange potion; Cassandra's mother created it because the citizens of the Noble City have fears over their skin becoming sun burnt. It is not drunk like the other potions and salves it is put on the skin itself to protect it from the Sun's Rays for at least 5 hours. However, it stings when placed on the skin since it is unique of a salve so it usually takes someone else to apply the salve on the skin.
History
Parents: Her father and mother are alive and they are named Varek Nicolas Bhiloda-Darila and Madison Ilya Bhiloda-Darila.
Siblings: None
Birth: Her birth was on a rainy day on June 30, which is a good omen for everyone living within the Noble City of Thrayheath since they celebrities' births on rainy days. It was a grand celebration, which the entire town took part since the Bhiloda-Darila Noble Family was hoping for a daughter and they got their wish. This increased the prestige of the Bhiloda-Darila family by much since massive celebrations of a birth happen. The Bhiloda-Darila Noble Family is the most powerful and most prestigious of all the noble families in the Noble City. Her family gave a lot of money in upgrading the infrastructure for each of the districts since they wanted to share their wealth and prestige with everyone.
Childhood:
On her third year birthday, she was given the necklace of pride, a family heirloom necklace of the Bhiloda-Darila Family. This necklace shows that her parents care for her more than anything since it was passed to her from her mother Madison. Cassandra loved the attention and love from her parents. She was a bright child in certain things. Two years later, she was given a Thrayheathian Hawk on her fifth year birthday, but she learned something that she did not really like the fact her childhood ends when she turns nine years old. Her parents told her that the Conscription Training would help her understand why everyone has to do this at nine years old. As well, they told her they have a hard regime in training for her and failure is not an option. She had a temper tantrum that did not affect the Thrayheathian Hawk, which she nicknamed Dart since it had a dart of red on its beak. Her parents was hopeful that she would stop being so angry about this rule of the Noble City. However, the fact her parents could not pronounce their own last name did not help her temper tantrum.
On Cassandra's sixth year birthday, one of the other noble families visited her family's home specifically to see her, and it was the Soren-Esta Noble Family. A Fletcher in training, Heather L. Soren-Esta and her mother visited Cassandra's home. Heather was dressed similarly to Cassandra but dressed more like her mother, who was a Fletcher instead of a Jeweler. Heather had blue eyes with silver hair; she had a very good personality, which did not clash with Cassandra's personality. Cassandra embarrassed herself in front of her mother and Heather's mother by tripping over herself. Madison laughed at her daughter's misstep since she is somewhat the same as her daughter, though it is mostly when she is near her husband Varek. Heather's mother was happy that her daughter and Cassandra are going to be great friends since everyone needs friends in the Noble City of Thrayheath. Madison told her daughter and Heather to play within the Bhiloda-Darila's Mansion while their parents talked about certain grown up things.
Cassandra showed Heather the Garden the pride of the Bhiloda-Darila's Mansion since it helps her mother Madison calm down after a long meeting in the Council. Dart was flying around the garden, the Thrayheathian Hawk she was given as a birthday present, when she was one year younger. Heather was somewhat amazed in seeing the Thrayheathian Hawk and pronounced Cassandra's full name correctly including the last name of hers perfectly. Dart went on a perch in the Garden, near Cassandra and showed respect towards Heather. Heather was taken aback at the fact the Hawk was very noble in its stance and allowed her to pet him. Cassandra did hear that the Thrayheathian Hawks pick their owners before their owners know it and it is definitely true with Dart.
Cassandra and Heather was happy just talking away the day away until her mother walked into the Garden and got gently said thank you to Cassandra. Heather's mother did not think her daughter would get really along with Cassandra since Cassandra threw a temper tantrum about learning of the Conscription Training that she had to go through in 3 years. Cassandra just bowed her head towards Heather's mother and said you are welcome. Madison walked in and asked Cassandra certain questions about the visit. Cassandra just enjoyed seeing someone her age and gender, which did not really send any red flags to her mother at this time that her daughter was into the same gender in a more relationship way.

Adulthood:
On her 9th year birthday, she officially stopped being a child and became an adult since this was the start of her Conscription Training by her Father and Mother. Varek took Cassandra to the Military Complex in the Draevan District and asked her a few questions about what she wanted to do; mostly Long-range defense or close ranged fighting. Cassandra picked long-range fighting with a Longbow since that is the favored weapon of Varek and that made Varek proud of his daughter. However, he became her worse nightmare during this training since her father Varek rigorously trained her and every time she did not do it perfectly she would be punished without no dinner and straight to bed with her. Cassandra did show her outright hatred of what her father was doing, by throwing another temper tantrum but this caused Varek to smack his daughter on the face, very hard.
Someone very important was watching the Training grounds very carefully, his name was Derrick N. Draevan, and he saw what Varek did to his daughter and was outright enraged since he never hits his own sisters or brothers for failing. Derrick knocked Varek on the ground and yelled at him for smacking Cassandra on the face. Cassandra was utterly shocked in what was going on and pleaded with Derrick to give her father another chance. Derrick looked to the poor child, who was literally smacked in the face since he hates the fact that all children when they reach nine years old have to give up their childhood to do this conscription training. Derrick sighed and helped Varek up but this gave a reason to the Bhiloda-Darila's Noble Family not to be so cruel to their daughter if they found out something about her that is completely against the rules of the Noble City.
Derrick told Varek he would be watching this area of the Training Grounds very carefully if that happens again, he will be getting Madison to teach their daughter something right away besides being taught how to use a Longbow. Varek sighs and agreed to Derrick's threat since everyone in the Noble City somewhat fears the outright determination of the Draevan Noble Families staying power in term of being the very few who train the Adepts, Apostles, and Draevan's Equals in the Military. Varek taught his daughter, how to use the Longbow properly but wanted to see if she could perfect it and make it her own. Varek loosen up in term of his training regime and became much more of a father than a taskmaster something that his father did for him but him and his wife wanted a daughter.
On her 10th year birthday, she came up to her father and Derrick who was still overseeing the Military Complex Training Center and told them both that she mastered the Longbow fully and can easily shoot two arrows at targets. She showed them her skills are truly mastered and this made Varek untold happy for his daughter. Derrick was extremely shocked at this, a true progeny in the making he said towards Varek. Varek and Cassandra took that as a compliment from the Drill Instructor Derrick. Varek instantly knew what he has to do as a Present for her daughter is for someone in the Soren-Esta Noble Family to create the Longbow, the Quiver, and the Arrows to go with it. Cassandra was confused in why her father was talking about 'her' own bow and quiver; she thought she was going to use her father's longbow since that is what she used for her father's part of Conscription Training.
Varek asked her daughter, whom she would like to do this honor since having this, as a task would help someone's training as a Fletcher. Cassandra said Heather L. Soren-Esta; the one she met on her sixth year old birthday came to mind. Varek smiled and agreed, and asked his daughter if she wanted any secret compartments on the Quiver. Cassandra shrugged her shoulders more or less saying surprise me. Derrick and Varek walked away from Cassandra out of earshot and Derrick told Varek about the cost of that would be 1,500 gold to 5,500 gold for the Longbow itself, 15 gold to 300 gold for the arrows, 25 gold for the Quiver, which holds 55 arrows. Varek was shocked in hearing the prices of an order; his longbow was a Composite Longbow so that is simple for his daughter.
Varek took his daughter Cassandra to the Soren-Esta District to meet Heather L. Soren-Esta, still a Fletcher in training. Cassandra waved to Heather when they approached her, and Varek asked Heather if she would create his daughter's weapon for her Fletcher training. Heather was happy to do this but asked for the payment before she starts working since that is the requirement for a specialty order and asked the occasion for this. Varek told her that Cassandra mastered the Longbow only in a year. Heather was shocked to her literal core and anyone earshot of what Varek said since that is the fastest anyone has ever mastered a weapon. Heather's mother Vanessa L. Soren-Esta walked up to the conversation and sighed slightly. Varek smiled towards Vanessa and asked what is wrong. Vanessa looked at her daughter and just rolled her eyes more or less meaning her daughter is slacking off and looking at the sky more than anyone else is when it is sunny and talking about Cassandra a lot.
Varek laughs at Vanessa and rolls his eyes at his sister, who married into the Soren-Esta Noble Family. Cassandra heard her father laugh at Vanessa and was somewhat shocked to learn that she has an Aunt. Her parents never really talked about anything in general about their childhood and now she learned this. Varek talked to his sister seriously and gave her about 1,625g for the specialty order, which he wants Heather to create the Composite Longbow for his daughter. Vanessa smiles and looks directly at Heather and tells her not to fail this simple task but Heather was utterly shocked at the fact she learned she had an uncle and agreed with her mother in handcrafting the longbow to the standards of her mother. Cassandra's outlook was a little bit more trusting of her father since he is outright helping her understand the situation of the Noble City of Thrayheath, so she does not make a mistake. Vanessa looks at Cassandra and laughs happily, and says not all things are what they seem there dear. Cassandra heard what Vanessa said and sighed when she realized she had to go with her mother soon.
Varek sighed and told his daughter that Madison is a stricter taskmaster than he was but you might learn of something you might want to enjoy later on in life, like the sea. Cassandra heard the sea and instantly brightened up even though hearing that her mother is worse than her father is a shocker. She was slightly under her body weight since she skipped some meals here and there to get the longbow training out of the way. She was somewhat hungry and asked her father if they could eat something before she goes with her mother to whatever she want her to learn. Her father nods, the only good thing he knows about his daughter is she has perfect hand to eye coordination from the get go.
Varek took his daughter home, where Madison was awaiting to take over her daughter's Conscription Training. Varek told his wife how fast their daughter mastered Longbow training and their daughter's determination to literally go without food to complete it. Madison was somewhat shocked and at the same time happy for her daughter but a little bit angry with her husband for not forcing their daughter to take breaks and eat healthy. Varek rubs the back of his head and tells his wife sorry. Madison knows that her daughter does not need hand to eye coordination training since she knows Cass is perfect in that area. Cassandra hears Cass for the first time and loves it instantly and her stomach is growling. Madison takes her daughter to sit down at the kitchen table and fixes her daughter a good meal to stop that hunger. The Bhiloda-Darila family eats at the table as a family since this is the first time Varek is home from the Council since he is always caught in the endless cycle of working there.
It took about a week before Madison decided to start her Conscription Training part since she wanted her daughter to be well fed and paying attention to her part. Madison took her daughter to the Oceanography room in their mansion since it is important to the Noble City to keep all maps on hand of the sea. Cassandra was happy to be in this room since it is quite different from all other rooms in her family's mansion. Her mother did know that her daughter had aspirations in becoming an Oceanographer since that is what most of the citizens of the Noble City are. Madison had little model ships on a map replica of the city in the Garr-Molsi Harbor District in the water. Cassandra asked what each ship is called since there were three big ones in the harbor.
Madison smiles and says, the TSP Theodore, the TSP Draevan, and finally the TSP Varek are the names of the three biggest ships in the harbor, the abbreviation TSP is Thrayheathian Ship Protector. Cassandra learned a lot in a short bit of time in this room about the abbreviation of the ships and the ships themselves from her mother. Madison looked at her daughter and told her to read up on what an Oceanographer and she will be expecting answers written on paper. Madison left the room and allowed her daughter to get to work about reading every single book in this room about Oceanography and she took notes about certain things. Cassandra took awhile fully to understand the entire thing but she wrote out an essay worth of work with a very great understanding of it. She was done with it, by the time, it was dinnertime and walked to the dinner table where her mother was at and her father was gone again, since he was called to the Council of Thrayheath. Cassandra gave her work to her mother and her mother read it and smiled at her daughter. Madison gave her daughter a big hug and told her that tomorrow they will be going to the Harbor District to see the ships for themselves, since the harbormaster Theodore needs to talk to Madison about some Alchemy materials, which need to be signed to be used in the Alchemy Stores or by personal use. Cassandra was happy to hear the fact that she will finally be able to see the ships in person instead of looking at their models, which were on her mother's oceanographer table.
Tomorrow rolled around, Madison walked with her daughter to the Harbor District, it was quite a sight to see, and it was mostly understandable to see why. Cassandra noticed the ships of the line, from a distance and from the get go noticed some damage on the TSP Theodore, its mast was badly damaged and this is also what Madison saw, just at a glance. Madison was somewhat worried about their neutrality if these ships were damaged. Theodore N. Garr-Molsi walked up to Madison and her daughter Cassandra. He somewhat over heard Madison talk about the damage the TSP Theodore sustained but that means the At a Glance skill, Madison had was passed down to her daughter. Theodore told Madison and Cassandra the bad news, about what happened to the Ships of the Line and about 10 of the smaller sloops, they are all damaged the Theodore was hit the least and easiest to fix.
Madison was in utter shock about this and asked how this happened. Theodore did not want to say this but the citizens' fear the spiders the most and that is what caused all this damage, the Brown Depth Spiders. Madison was shaking in fear when Theodore said that and from her mother's reaction, Cassandra was crying uncontrollably. Madison looked at her daughter and was quite depressed at the fact these giant spiders were the cause of all this damage. Theodore told Madison, it is worse than that the Tree Willows and the Brown Depth Spiders attacked the Harbor and were fought back by the Draevan Noble Family. Madison started to do the same thing as her daughter since just hearing the name of these spiders causes her to go into shock as her daughter is right now and Madison starts crying uncontrollably. Theodore sighed and told them no citizens of the Noble City of Thrayheath were killed by this strange attack but it makes the spiders are leaded by some unknown force is getting more lead way in the Council. This calmed down Madison a bit but she tried to comfort her daughter but then a strange noise came from behind Theodore, it was a horrifying sound, a Brown Depth Spider Screech.
The Brown Depth Spider was massive, right behind Theodore but it did not attack him at all, and it started to talk to Madison and Cassandra in a somewhat fluent Thrayheathian way. The outright hatred towards the Thrayheathians as a whole was voiced through this spider and it wanted to outright destroy any chance of a normal life for Cassandra and her mother ever again. They will always have nightmares from this point on, where they could see alternate points of interest, where the spider that talked to them was killing them but that did not happen so they will be living in constant fear. Theodore killed the Spider before it could get away with fire magic and tried to shake Madison and Cassandra out of the shock to their system but Cassandra was long gone, she was unconscious, while her mother came back to reality. Madison picked up her child and walked carefully to her home but before she did that told Theodore to ask for a Meeting of the Council so she can describe this incident.
Cassandra woke up in her bed alone, it was like a week from that event, and she has been unconscious for this long. She got up from her bed, walked downstairs, and noticed Heather L. Soren-Esta, Vanessa L. Soren-Esta talking with her mother Madison and her father Varek. Cassandra was still on edge from that event and she was extremely nervous and hesitant. Cassandra spoke up and everyone in the room looked directly at Cassandra and was happy to see her awake. Her father walked up to Cassandra and told her not to worry about anything. Madison was a little bit worried about her daughter. Heather L. Soren-Esta was here to deliver some good news, which is that the order that her father placed is finished. Cassandra was happy that it is finished and sheepish asked where her Longbow is. Heather walked to her and gave her Composite Longbow and Quiver with 50 arrows in it already to Cassandra. Cassandra hugged Heather tightly, while she was shaking still but her stomach growled more or less showing she needs to eat something soon. Heather did hug back since what are friends for that is. Vanessa was somewhat happy that Cassandra is back up and going since she was about to call for a healer to help her niece out. Heather walks back to her mother happy.
Varek was grateful to see his daughter walking around again and he and his wife went to hug their daughter Cassandra. Cassandra hugged her parents back and she was still terrified of what happened. Cassandra looked at her mother, father, and asked what happened to the Noble City's Seafaring vessels. Varek looked somewhat depressed when she asked that and replied, it will be a few months before they all get back into shape after that unprovoked attack on the Harbor, I asked the Thrayheathian Guard to keep a patrol in that section of the town to make sure no more attacks like that occur. Cassandra sighed in relief about the ships since they are the most important thing to the Noble City keeping its neutrality. Cassandra was happy for a bit until the thunder sounded outside causing her to shriek. Madison calmed down her daughter and just said it was thunder and realized Cassandra has not gone to the Thrayheath Grand Church in the Soren-Esta District. Cassandra heard her mother talk about that place a lot and was slightly interested in it until her father told her about the Pantheon, the Thrayheathians worship Vurin, Alanthrial, Casion, and Turin. Cassandra hears this and calms down because those are very important to everyone.
Varek told her Vurin and Alanthrial are their primary gods, and Casion is secondary while Turin is tertiary god. Varek the Grand Church gives you a religious necklace so you can wear it if you want, mostly of the primary gods though. The two parents remember that usually this event happens on a special occasion in the near future. Cassandra looked at her parents some more and sighs and asks about what year does she get this necklace. Varek told her with perfect detail, the 12th or 13th birthday of the one who wishes to pick one of the primary gods as a place to keep them sound of mind and body.
On her 12th Birthday, Cassandra went with her parents to the Grand Church in the Noble City to get her necklace of worship for one of the two primary gods; this church is in the Soren-Esta District. It was a beautiful Grand Church decorated with all forms of distinct culture from everywhere, since the Noble City allows for full religious freedom. The Thrayheath Grand Church was the brightest building in the Soren-Esta District; it made it a lot livelier than it was. The Head Priestess was outside of the Grand Church greeting all the pilgrims and noticed the Bhiloda-Darila Noble Family coming up to the Church for the first time in ages. The Head Priestess was the same age as Cassandra and she was very happy to great everyone. Cassandra made herself a fool in front of the Head Priestess by tripping over herself but the Head Priestess, just laughed at Cassandra. The Head Priestess greeted herself as Vera P. Yaariyan, who loves all the people who walk the path of storms.
Varek and Madison bows to the Head Priestess in the most kind of ways. Madison looked at her daughter and rolled her eyes a bit but was very kind. Vera walked towards Cassandra, helped her up from the ground, and smiled very gently. Cassandra smiled back to Vera and told her thank you. Vera looked back at Varek and Madison and asked why they are here and they told her that it is Cassandra's Turn to pick a god to worship. Vera smiled and points to the door to the Grand Church and tells them one of the Priests will be helping them out but all roads lead back to the storms as a farewell. Cassandra is happy to meet someone nice, which is a High Priestess of the Thrayheath Grand Church. Cassandra follows her parents into the Church and walks towards a priest that was talking to some pilgrims from a distant land. Priest was talking in another language, which was hard to understand for Cassandra and her parents.
The Pilgrim looked directly at the three citizens of the Noble City and was very glad to meet someone who lives in this town. The Pilgrim talks in the language native to everyone here and told it's nice to meet you my name is Jenny L. Divan I have came along way to get away from my people can I stay here. Varek looks at Jenny and smiles at her and Varek says I hope you can get used to our customs but if you were getting hurt because of your religious views everyone is always welcome. Jenny smiles back, notices Cassandra, and winks at her. Cassandra was somewhat weirded out by that in some way. Jenny walks past the Priest and goes sit down on a handcrafted bench near the waiting room to see the High Priestess when she is in her office. The Priest sighs a bit and looks at Cassandra and her family and smiles reminded that this year and next will be a very busy time for the Church with its own citizens picking out the primary gods to worship. The Priest tells the three, I guess you met our High Priestess; she is a very big worshiper for Vurin. Cassandra nods at that but looks at the Priest.
Cassandra asks the Priest about the Religious Necklace for Vurin. The Priest responds quickly it is a necklace made out of silver, with a Lightning Bolt and a Raindrop of your birthstone; it is a simple necklace. The Priest adds, even simpler than the Alanthrial's Necklace of Worship. Cassandra heard raindrop, rain calms her down a lot since her traumatic experience, she wants Vurin's Necklace of Worship, and her birthstone is a Pearl. The Priest smiles at Cassandra and tells her the storms found their way into her soul and he just makes the Vurin's Necklace of Worship appear in his hands and gives it to Cassandra. Cassandra puts on her necklace of worship and smiles happily at the priest. Varek and Madison, Cassandra's parents told her to stay in the Grand Church and get to know some people within it who are pilgrims while they go to their meeting at the Council Building. The Priest did not like when they said that aloud because he knows there is something afoot with Jenny. They left quicker than they entered, Cassandra walked towards the bathroom of the Grand Church. Jenny noticed Cassandra going to the little girl's room and had an evil smile on her face.
Jenny followed Cassandra into the girl's bathroom and told Cassandra her age to her to see if she could get a reaction from her. Cassandra's reaction what Jenny told her was to trip over herself and slowly get back up somewhat embarrassing for her but not for Jenny. Jenny got close to Cassandra a little bit too close and stole Cassandra's first kiss from her. Cassandra was taken aback from what Jenny did but it was somewhat intriguing. Jenny kissed Cassandra for a lot longer than usual and it made Cassandra to do something unknown to her, one of her legs lifted up as she met her true love or something. Jenny smiled to Cassandra afterwards and asked her if she would love to have a secret date with her. Cassandra almost said yes but remembered that the Noble City of Thrayheath's law is against same-sex relationships. Cassandra told Jenny maybe instead but no conformation to Jenny. Jenny was okay with that all she wanted was a citizen of this city anyway.
Cassandra was slightly happy but she walked out of the girl's bathroom and walked back home. Jenny just was happy to make Cassandra more or less more open about her feelings towards other girls. Cassandra walked by Heather's Fletcher and walked up towards her and said hello to Heather. Heather said hello back and was happy to see her. Heather walked up to Cassandra and whispered into her ear, telling her are you into girls as I am, I wanted to tell you for a long time now. Heather's outright telling Cassandra took her aback. Cassandra whispered in Heather's ear and said yes, I have been like that for a while now I do not know what will happen to me if my parents find out. Heather and Cassandra walked to a secret hiding area, which Heather found and they kissed each other on the lips for a bit.
Cassandra left the secret area first and walked home soon after that since she needed to get home. Heather went back to her Fletcher post that her mother told her to be that is. Cassandra made it home without incident and she saw her mother Madison waiting for her outside. Madison smiled at her daughter not knowing what had transpired at the Church. Madison told her daughter, guess what we have lessened the Sentence on people who break the most sacred of our laws in terms of Same-Sex Relationships but that is only because they were too harsh to begin with. Cassandra was shocked in hearing her mother say that but she was slightly nervous. Cassandra asked her mother, what the punishment for rule breaking is. Madison smiles and tells her, Oh anyone found guilty in breaking the rules will be exiled from the City for eight years instead of their entire lifetime with a brand on them that make them nonexistent to the city. Cassandra was a little bit shocked the council of the Noble City decided to do that but she knows there is a massive drawback. Madison told her that they are put into the Thrayheathian Guard and stuck at the Adept Rank for the rest of their lives. Cassandra had a sad expression about that.
Madison noticed her daughter's sadness but was completely happy that her daughter is unique amongst most people within the Noble City. Cassandra went to her room and wrote in her diary about all the new things she experienced and learned a lot of important information and knows that her hope, one day that the Same-Sex Relationships will no longer forbidden in the Noble City. She did write in her diary that it would take many reforms for her dream to become a reality.
On her 14th Birthday, her mother walked into her room happy, while singing a bit. Cassandra was somewhat shocked in wondering why her mother was so happy. Madison told her daughter something that her mother was hiding and it was mainly the fact she knew her daughter was an in closet lesbian. Cassandra was shocked and wondered why she literally said that. Madison smiled a bit to her daughter, is that why you were tripping yourself when you saw girls your age right. Cassandra shakes her head yes and wondered why her mother and father was feigning ignorance about their daughter. Madison told her daughter, we changed the rules to keep you happy daughter. Cassandra was slightly a bit crying. Madison hugged her crying daughter, you we will try not to banish you but there is one thing you must do to save face in our society. Cassandra felt like she has caused a great schism in her city and that hurt her more than anything did, you could say it is one of her greatest failures. Madison sighed a bit about what she had to force her daughter in doing but it is greater as a whole for her to do this. Cassandra was somewhat hurt by what her mother told her to do.
Madison told her daughter Cass, don't worry it is a very important self-exile for you to learn what's going on outside of your hometown and to find our agent in the field, in Andale Tower, she has very important information that needs to make it back here immediately. Cassandra heard that the agent is a female and was curious on what is her name is. Madison sighed at Cassandra's response but the name is important, her name is Maria H. Cruces and you are allowed to read the information she gives you. Cassandra looked at her mother and asked why. Madison answered it is important for you more than anyone in the Noble City of Thrayheath to understand, why we created our city here.
On her 17th year birthday, Cassandra started her trek towards Andale Tower since it was very important for her to understand. All she had on her was most of the stuff given to her by her parents including an Anti-Tanning Salve and she had Dart the Thrayheathian Hawk with her. She walked out of the Noble City of Thrayheath in the dead of night no one was awake when she sneaked out of town. Out of all things, the Tree Willows or the Brown Deep Spiders were nowhere to be seen either near the city. This was a great relief for her fragile mind at this point.
Cassandra had a note in her smaller bag from her mother, it said always follow the well traveled path or you will run into your worst fears, the one thing that the citizens all agree are terrifying. Cassandra swallowed and followed her mother's advice and stayed on the well traveled road.
Someone very important was watching the Training grounds very carefully, his name was Derrick N. Draevan, and he saw what Varek did to his daughter and was outright enraged since he never hits his own sisters or brothers for failing. Derrick knocked Varek on the ground and yelled at him for smacking Cassandra on the face. Cassandra was utterly shocked in what was going on and pleaded with Derrick to give her father another chance. Derrick looked to the poor child, who was literally smacked in the face since he hates the fact that all children when they reach nine years old have to give up their childhood to do this conscription training. Derrick sighed and helped Varek up but this gave a reason to the Bhiloda-Darila's Noble Family not to be so cruel to their daughter if they found out something about her that is completely against the rules of the Noble City.
Derrick told Varek he would be watching this area of the Training Grounds very carefully if that happens again, he will be getting Madison to teach their daughter something right away besides being taught how to use a Longbow. Varek sighs and agreed to Derrick's threat since everyone in the Noble City somewhat fears the outright determination of the Draevan Noble Families staying power in term of being the very few who train the Adepts, Apostles, and Draevan's Equals in the Military. Varek taught his daughter, how to use the Longbow properly but wanted to see if she could perfect it and make it her own. Varek loosen up in term of his training regime and became much more of a father than a taskmaster something that his father did for him but him and his wife wanted a daughter.
On her 10th year birthday, she came up to her father and Derrick who was still overseeing the Military Complex Training Center and told them both that she mastered the Longbow fully and can easily shoot two arrows at targets. She showed them her skills are truly mastered and this made Varek untold happy for his daughter. Derrick was extremely shocked at this, a true progeny in the making he said towards Varek. Varek and Cassandra took that as a compliment from the Drill Instructor Derrick. Varek instantly knew what he has to do as a Present for her daughter is for someone in the Soren-Esta Noble Family to create the Longbow, the Quiver, and the Arrows to go with it. Cassandra was confused in why her father was talking about 'her' own bow and quiver; she thought she was going to use her father's longbow since that is what she used for her father's part of Conscription Training.
Varek asked her daughter, whom she would like to do this honor since having this, as a task would help someone's training as a Fletcher. Cassandra said Heather L. Soren-Esta; the one she met on her sixth year old birthday came to mind. Varek smiled and agreed, and asked his daughter if she wanted any secret compartments on the Quiver. Cassandra shrugged her shoulders more or less saying surprise me. Derrick and Varek walked away from Cassandra out of earshot and Derrick told Varek about the cost of that would be 1,500 gold to 5,500 gold for the Longbow itself, 15 gold to 300 gold for the arrows, 25 gold for the Quiver, which holds 55 arrows. Varek was shocked in hearing the prices of an order; his longbow was a Composite Longbow so that is simple for his daughter.
Varek took his daughter Cassandra to the Soren-Esta District to meet Heather L. Soren-Esta, still a Fletcher in training. Cassandra waved to Heather when they approached her, and Varek asked Heather if she would create his daughter's weapon for her Fletcher training. Heather was happy to do this but asked for the payment before she starts working since that is the requirement for a specialty order and asked the occasion for this. Varek told her that Cassandra mastered the Longbow only in a year. Heather was shocked to her literal core and anyone earshot of what Varek said since that is the fastest anyone has ever mastered a weapon. Heather's mother Vanessa L. Soren-Esta walked up to the conversation and sighed slightly. Varek smiled towards Vanessa and asked what is wrong. Vanessa looked at her daughter and just rolled her eyes more or less meaning her daughter is slacking off and looking at the sky more than anyone else is when it is sunny and talking about Cassandra a lot.
Varek laughs at Vanessa and rolls his eyes at his sister, who married into the Soren-Esta Noble Family. Cassandra heard her father laugh at Vanessa and was somewhat shocked to learn that she has an Aunt. Her parents never really talked about anything in general about their childhood and now she learned this. Varek talked to his sister seriously and gave her about 1,625g for the specialty order, which he wants Heather to create the Composite Longbow for his daughter. Vanessa smiles and looks directly at Heather and tells her not to fail this simple task but Heather was utterly shocked at the fact she learned she had an uncle and agreed with her mother in handcrafting the longbow to the standards of her mother. Cassandra's outlook was a little bit more trusting of her father since he is outright helping her understand the situation of the Noble City of Thrayheath, so she does not make a mistake. Vanessa looks at Cassandra and laughs happily, and says not all things are what they seem there dear. Cassandra heard what Vanessa said and sighed when she realized she had to go with her mother soon.
Varek sighed and told his daughter that Madison is a stricter taskmaster than he was but you might learn of something you might want to enjoy later on in life, like the sea. Cassandra heard the sea and instantly brightened up even though hearing that her mother is worse than her father is a shocker. She was slightly under her body weight since she skipped some meals here and there to get the longbow training out of the way. She was somewhat hungry and asked her father if they could eat something before she goes with her mother to whatever she want her to learn. Her father nods, the only good thing he knows about his daughter is she has perfect hand to eye coordination from the get go.
Varek took his daughter home, where Madison was awaiting to take over her daughter's Conscription Training. Varek told his wife how fast their daughter mastered Longbow training and their daughter's determination to literally go without food to complete it. Madison was somewhat shocked and at the same time happy for her daughter but a little bit angry with her husband for not forcing their daughter to take breaks and eat healthy. Varek rubs the back of his head and tells his wife sorry. Madison knows that her daughter does not need hand to eye coordination training since she knows Cass is perfect in that area. Cassandra hears Cass for the first time and loves it instantly and her stomach is growling. Madison takes her daughter to sit down at the kitchen table and fixes her daughter a good meal to stop that hunger. The Bhiloda-Darila family eats at the table as a family since this is the first time Varek is home from the Council since he is always caught in the endless cycle of working there.
It took about a week before Madison decided to start her Conscription Training part since she wanted her daughter to be well fed and paying attention to her part. Madison took her daughter to the Oceanography room in their mansion since it is important to the Noble City to keep all maps on hand of the sea. Cassandra was happy to be in this room since it is quite different from all other rooms in her family's mansion. Her mother did know that her daughter had aspirations in becoming an Oceanographer since that is what most of the citizens of the Noble City are. Madison had little model ships on a map replica of the city in the Garr-Molsi Harbor District in the water. Cassandra asked what each ship is called since there were three big ones in the harbor.
Madison smiles and says, the TSP Theodore, the TSP Draevan, and finally the TSP Varek are the names of the three biggest ships in the harbor, the abbreviation TSP is Thrayheathian Ship Protector. Cassandra learned a lot in a short bit of time in this room about the abbreviation of the ships and the ships themselves from her mother. Madison looked at her daughter and told her to read up on what an Oceanographer and she will be expecting answers written on paper. Madison left the room and allowed her daughter to get to work about reading every single book in this room about Oceanography and she took notes about certain things. Cassandra took awhile fully to understand the entire thing but she wrote out an essay worth of work with a very great understanding of it. She was done with it, by the time, it was dinnertime and walked to the dinner table where her mother was at and her father was gone again, since he was called to the Council of Thrayheath. Cassandra gave her work to her mother and her mother read it and smiled at her daughter. Madison gave her daughter a big hug and told her that tomorrow they will be going to the Harbor District to see the ships for themselves, since the harbormaster Theodore needs to talk to Madison about some Alchemy materials, which need to be signed to be used in the Alchemy Stores or by personal use. Cassandra was happy to hear the fact that she will finally be able to see the ships in person instead of looking at their models, which were on her mother's oceanographer table.
Tomorrow rolled around, Madison walked with her daughter to the Harbor District, it was quite a sight to see, and it was mostly understandable to see why. Cassandra noticed the ships of the line, from a distance and from the get go noticed some damage on the TSP Theodore, its mast was badly damaged and this is also what Madison saw, just at a glance. Madison was somewhat worried about their neutrality if these ships were damaged. Theodore N. Garr-Molsi walked up to Madison and her daughter Cassandra. He somewhat over heard Madison talk about the damage the TSP Theodore sustained but that means the At a Glance skill, Madison had was passed down to her daughter. Theodore told Madison and Cassandra the bad news, about what happened to the Ships of the Line and about 10 of the smaller sloops, they are all damaged the Theodore was hit the least and easiest to fix.
Madison was in utter shock about this and asked how this happened. Theodore did not want to say this but the citizens' fear the spiders the most and that is what caused all this damage, the Brown Depth Spiders. Madison was shaking in fear when Theodore said that and from her mother's reaction, Cassandra was crying uncontrollably. Madison looked at her daughter and was quite depressed at the fact these giant spiders were the cause of all this damage. Theodore told Madison, it is worse than that the Tree Willows and the Brown Depth Spiders attacked the Harbor and were fought back by the Draevan Noble Family. Madison started to do the same thing as her daughter since just hearing the name of these spiders causes her to go into shock as her daughter is right now and Madison starts crying uncontrollably. Theodore sighed and told them no citizens of the Noble City of Thrayheath were killed by this strange attack but it makes the spiders are leaded by some unknown force is getting more lead way in the Council. This calmed down Madison a bit but she tried to comfort her daughter but then a strange noise came from behind Theodore, it was a horrifying sound, a Brown Depth Spider Screech.
The Brown Depth Spider was massive, right behind Theodore but it did not attack him at all, and it started to talk to Madison and Cassandra in a somewhat fluent Thrayheathian way. The outright hatred towards the Thrayheathians as a whole was voiced through this spider and it wanted to outright destroy any chance of a normal life for Cassandra and her mother ever again. They will always have nightmares from this point on, where they could see alternate points of interest, where the spider that talked to them was killing them but that did not happen so they will be living in constant fear. Theodore killed the Spider before it could get away with fire magic and tried to shake Madison and Cassandra out of the shock to their system but Cassandra was long gone, she was unconscious, while her mother came back to reality. Madison picked up her child and walked carefully to her home but before she did that told Theodore to ask for a Meeting of the Council so she can describe this incident.
Cassandra woke up in her bed alone, it was like a week from that event, and she has been unconscious for this long. She got up from her bed, walked downstairs, and noticed Heather L. Soren-Esta, Vanessa L. Soren-Esta talking with her mother Madison and her father Varek. Cassandra was still on edge from that event and she was extremely nervous and hesitant. Cassandra spoke up and everyone in the room looked directly at Cassandra and was happy to see her awake. Her father walked up to Cassandra and told her not to worry about anything. Madison was a little bit worried about her daughter. Heather L. Soren-Esta was here to deliver some good news, which is that the order that her father placed is finished. Cassandra was happy that it is finished and sheepish asked where her Longbow is. Heather walked to her and gave her Composite Longbow and Quiver with 50 arrows in it already to Cassandra. Cassandra hugged Heather tightly, while she was shaking still but her stomach growled more or less showing she needs to eat something soon. Heather did hug back since what are friends for that is. Vanessa was somewhat happy that Cassandra is back up and going since she was about to call for a healer to help her niece out. Heather walks back to her mother happy.
Varek was grateful to see his daughter walking around again and he and his wife went to hug their daughter Cassandra. Cassandra hugged her parents back and she was still terrified of what happened. Cassandra looked at her mother, father, and asked what happened to the Noble City's Seafaring vessels. Varek looked somewhat depressed when she asked that and replied, it will be a few months before they all get back into shape after that unprovoked attack on the Harbor, I asked the Thrayheathian Guard to keep a patrol in that section of the town to make sure no more attacks like that occur. Cassandra sighed in relief about the ships since they are the most important thing to the Noble City keeping its neutrality. Cassandra was happy for a bit until the thunder sounded outside causing her to shriek. Madison calmed down her daughter and just said it was thunder and realized Cassandra has not gone to the Thrayheath Grand Church in the Soren-Esta District. Cassandra heard her mother talk about that place a lot and was slightly interested in it until her father told her about the Pantheon, the Thrayheathians worship Vurin, Alanthrial, Casion, and Turin. Cassandra hears this and calms down because those are very important to everyone.
Varek told her Vurin and Alanthrial are their primary gods, and Casion is secondary while Turin is tertiary god. Varek the Grand Church gives you a religious necklace so you can wear it if you want, mostly of the primary gods though. The two parents remember that usually this event happens on a special occasion in the near future. Cassandra looked at her parents some more and sighs and asks about what year does she get this necklace. Varek told her with perfect detail, the 12th or 13th birthday of the one who wishes to pick one of the primary gods as a place to keep them sound of mind and body.
On her 12th Birthday, Cassandra went with her parents to the Grand Church in the Noble City to get her necklace of worship for one of the two primary gods; this church is in the Soren-Esta District. It was a beautiful Grand Church decorated with all forms of distinct culture from everywhere, since the Noble City allows for full religious freedom. The Thrayheath Grand Church was the brightest building in the Soren-Esta District; it made it a lot livelier than it was. The Head Priestess was outside of the Grand Church greeting all the pilgrims and noticed the Bhiloda-Darila Noble Family coming up to the Church for the first time in ages. The Head Priestess was the same age as Cassandra and she was very happy to great everyone. Cassandra made herself a fool in front of the Head Priestess by tripping over herself but the Head Priestess, just laughed at Cassandra. The Head Priestess greeted herself as Vera P. Yaariyan, who loves all the people who walk the path of storms.
Varek and Madison bows to the Head Priestess in the most kind of ways. Madison looked at her daughter and rolled her eyes a bit but was very kind. Vera walked towards Cassandra, helped her up from the ground, and smiled very gently. Cassandra smiled back to Vera and told her thank you. Vera looked back at Varek and Madison and asked why they are here and they told her that it is Cassandra's Turn to pick a god to worship. Vera smiled and points to the door to the Grand Church and tells them one of the Priests will be helping them out but all roads lead back to the storms as a farewell. Cassandra is happy to meet someone nice, which is a High Priestess of the Thrayheath Grand Church. Cassandra follows her parents into the Church and walks towards a priest that was talking to some pilgrims from a distant land. Priest was talking in another language, which was hard to understand for Cassandra and her parents.
The Pilgrim looked directly at the three citizens of the Noble City and was very glad to meet someone who lives in this town. The Pilgrim talks in the language native to everyone here and told it's nice to meet you my name is Jenny L. Divan I have came along way to get away from my people can I stay here. Varek looks at Jenny and smiles at her and Varek says I hope you can get used to our customs but if you were getting hurt because of your religious views everyone is always welcome. Jenny smiles back, notices Cassandra, and winks at her. Cassandra was somewhat weirded out by that in some way. Jenny walks past the Priest and goes sit down on a handcrafted bench near the waiting room to see the High Priestess when she is in her office. The Priest sighs a bit and looks at Cassandra and her family and smiles reminded that this year and next will be a very busy time for the Church with its own citizens picking out the primary gods to worship. The Priest tells the three, I guess you met our High Priestess; she is a very big worshiper for Vurin. Cassandra nods at that but looks at the Priest.
Cassandra asks the Priest about the Religious Necklace for Vurin. The Priest responds quickly it is a necklace made out of silver, with a Lightning Bolt and a Raindrop of your birthstone; it is a simple necklace. The Priest adds, even simpler than the Alanthrial's Necklace of Worship. Cassandra heard raindrop, rain calms her down a lot since her traumatic experience, she wants Vurin's Necklace of Worship, and her birthstone is a Pearl. The Priest smiles at Cassandra and tells her the storms found their way into her soul and he just makes the Vurin's Necklace of Worship appear in his hands and gives it to Cassandra. Cassandra puts on her necklace of worship and smiles happily at the priest. Varek and Madison, Cassandra's parents told her to stay in the Grand Church and get to know some people within it who are pilgrims while they go to their meeting at the Council Building. The Priest did not like when they said that aloud because he knows there is something afoot with Jenny. They left quicker than they entered, Cassandra walked towards the bathroom of the Grand Church. Jenny noticed Cassandra going to the little girl's room and had an evil smile on her face.
Jenny followed Cassandra into the girl's bathroom and told Cassandra her age to her to see if she could get a reaction from her. Cassandra's reaction what Jenny told her was to trip over herself and slowly get back up somewhat embarrassing for her but not for Jenny. Jenny got close to Cassandra a little bit too close and stole Cassandra's first kiss from her. Cassandra was taken aback from what Jenny did but it was somewhat intriguing. Jenny kissed Cassandra for a lot longer than usual and it made Cassandra to do something unknown to her, one of her legs lifted up as she met her true love or something. Jenny smiled to Cassandra afterwards and asked her if she would love to have a secret date with her. Cassandra almost said yes but remembered that the Noble City of Thrayheath's law is against same-sex relationships. Cassandra told Jenny maybe instead but no conformation to Jenny. Jenny was okay with that all she wanted was a citizen of this city anyway.
Cassandra was slightly happy but she walked out of the girl's bathroom and walked back home. Jenny just was happy to make Cassandra more or less more open about her feelings towards other girls. Cassandra walked by Heather's Fletcher and walked up towards her and said hello to Heather. Heather said hello back and was happy to see her. Heather walked up to Cassandra and whispered into her ear, telling her are you into girls as I am, I wanted to tell you for a long time now. Heather's outright telling Cassandra took her aback. Cassandra whispered in Heather's ear and said yes, I have been like that for a while now I do not know what will happen to me if my parents find out. Heather and Cassandra walked to a secret hiding area, which Heather found and they kissed each other on the lips for a bit.
Cassandra left the secret area first and walked home soon after that since she needed to get home. Heather went back to her Fletcher post that her mother told her to be that is. Cassandra made it home without incident and she saw her mother Madison waiting for her outside. Madison smiled at her daughter not knowing what had transpired at the Church. Madison told her daughter, guess what we have lessened the Sentence on people who break the most sacred of our laws in terms of Same-Sex Relationships but that is only because they were too harsh to begin with. Cassandra was shocked in hearing her mother say that but she was slightly nervous. Cassandra asked her mother, what the punishment for rule breaking is. Madison smiles and tells her, Oh anyone found guilty in breaking the rules will be exiled from the City for eight years instead of their entire lifetime with a brand on them that make them nonexistent to the city. Cassandra was a little bit shocked the council of the Noble City decided to do that but she knows there is a massive drawback. Madison told her that they are put into the Thrayheathian Guard and stuck at the Adept Rank for the rest of their lives. Cassandra had a sad expression about that.
Madison noticed her daughter's sadness but was completely happy that her daughter is unique amongst most people within the Noble City. Cassandra went to her room and wrote in her diary about all the new things she experienced and learned a lot of important information and knows that her hope, one day that the Same-Sex Relationships will no longer forbidden in the Noble City. She did write in her diary that it would take many reforms for her dream to become a reality.
On her 14th Birthday, her mother walked into her room happy, while singing a bit. Cassandra was somewhat shocked in wondering why her mother was so happy. Madison told her daughter something that her mother was hiding and it was mainly the fact she knew her daughter was an in closet lesbian. Cassandra was shocked and wondered why she literally said that. Madison smiled a bit to her daughter, is that why you were tripping yourself when you saw girls your age right. Cassandra shakes her head yes and wondered why her mother and father was feigning ignorance about their daughter. Madison told her daughter, we changed the rules to keep you happy daughter. Cassandra was slightly a bit crying. Madison hugged her crying daughter, you we will try not to banish you but there is one thing you must do to save face in our society. Cassandra felt like she has caused a great schism in her city and that hurt her more than anything did, you could say it is one of her greatest failures. Madison sighed a bit about what she had to force her daughter in doing but it is greater as a whole for her to do this. Cassandra was somewhat hurt by what her mother told her to do.
Madison told her daughter Cass, don't worry it is a very important self-exile for you to learn what's going on outside of your hometown and to find our agent in the field, in Andale Tower, she has very important information that needs to make it back here immediately. Cassandra heard that the agent is a female and was curious on what is her name is. Madison sighed at Cassandra's response but the name is important, her name is Maria H. Cruces and you are allowed to read the information she gives you. Cassandra looked at her mother and asked why. Madison answered it is important for you more than anyone in the Noble City of Thrayheath to understand, why we created our city here.
On her 17th year birthday, Cassandra started her trek towards Andale Tower since it was very important for her to understand. All she had on her was most of the stuff given to her by her parents including an Anti-Tanning Salve and she had Dart the Thrayheathian Hawk with her. She walked out of the Noble City of Thrayheath in the dead of night no one was awake when she sneaked out of town. Out of all things, the Tree Willows or the Brown Deep Spiders were nowhere to be seen either near the city. This was a great relief for her fragile mind at this point.
Cassandra had a note in her smaller bag from her mother, it said always follow the well traveled path or you will run into your worst fears, the one thing that the citizens all agree are terrifying. Cassandra swallowed and followed her mother's advice and stayed on the well traveled road.
Special Moments: One of them was Heather and her sharing a tender moment in a secret hiding area, kissing in secret away from any prying eyes. This weighed heavy on her since she knew it was against the Noble City's Rules.
Current Events: She is on the road to Andale Tower to meet up with a family contact by the name of Maria. However, she has not met anyone on this road towards Andale Tower and that is quite disturbing since there is always people on this road. She stays on the road and wonders where everyone is until she hears a Screech in the distance of Tree Willows attacking someone or something; she did not want to investigate it because she is utterly terrified of those spiders. The Screeching stopped and something else was strange a deep Howl happened, it sounded like a Dire Wolf. The Dire Wolf ran towards the Road, stopped right in front of Cassandra, and let out a yelp. Cassandra was confused in why it yelped. The Dire Wolf looked into the eyes of Cassandra and slowly turned into a human girl. Cassandra was utterly shocked to see a druid. The Female Druid was badly injured and was the last one in a band of druids heading towards the Noble City. The Female druid cursed the spider's name, walked towards the Noble City, and just ignored Cassandra.
Cassandra was still walking towards Andale Tower but she does not know how long it will take since she did not really take a map with her but as long as she listened to her mother's advice of staying on the road she will be okay.

The Noble City of Thrayheath was built up by the two most prestigious noble families, which pride themselves on the unique architecture they built. The Noble City of Thrayheath is a tiered city with eight districts within it, all named after the eight noble family’s last name. The Noble Families mansions are in the center of the eight districts. There is a vast building in the center of the entire city, which is the noble family council building, which is called Thrayheath Hall; it is in the ninth district, which is called Thrayheath Proper. The Noble City of Thrayheath is neutral among the other kingdoms on the planet; they get many travelers going in and out of this city, who wish to go to other places. The rain never stops over the Noble City of Thrayheath; it can constantly rain for about a whole week at sometimes.
Architecture: Thrayheath’s architecture similar to that of Italian and German Architecture but with a wider range of darker colors and brighter colors. The important buildings are with brighter colors and the housing is darker in color. However, there is no gray in the entire noble city. The shapes of the buildings are similar to the Italian/German Architecture. The city’s docks are very beautiful and large enough to hold about three ships of the line but it can hold a lot more of the smaller ships.
Districts: The eight districts of the noble city of Thrayheath are named after the eight noble family’s last names. All the districts have the noble family’s mansions and they are in the complete center of the district and it usually intersects with the ninth District where the Thrayheath Hall is located that district is called Thrayheath Proper. In addition, the housing of the Noble City of Thrayheath is spread around all nine districts and including the outside of the city. Walls of stone separate the Districts since the city needed to be protected; the stone is usually limestone or granite. The gates are normal sized construction, they can fit a large animal equal to the size of an Elephant or slightly bigger, and you are required to buy a district pass from the entrance to the city.
The Briloda-Darila District is the cleanest district since it is specialized in making jewelry, clothes, and these shops charge a lot of money for their services. The Soren-Esta District has more hands on shops, alike Blacksmithing, Fletchery, and it has Thrayheath Grand Church in this district. The Yaariyan District is the inns, taverns and other forms of entertainment and it has the Thrayheath Park in it as well. The Garr-Molsi District is the Harbor District, which holds warehouses, the docks itself, and a building, which houses shipbuilders to construct any size of ship, which is the size of a Sloop or smaller. The Draevan District is the Military District, which trains soldiers and guardsmen to keep the city peaceful from dangers from the water and the land; it houses the Military Complex called Thrayheath Fortress.

The Ratio of Male to Female is slightly more in favor of the female at least one male to two female. The Noble City of Thrayheath has a harsh conscription policy since it requires all able-bodied citizens, living within the city to learn how to fight at a young age (9 Years Old) for both genders. The Noble City of Thrayheath usually prides itself on its fleet of mixed ships and its three Ships of the Line even though they usually use this fleet for protecting other kingdom’s trade fleets. They have to do this protecting trade fleets because of their trade agreements to all other kingdoms to keep their neutrality.
There is a strict rule against same-sex relationships. Anyone who is found out to be an offender of breaking this law is disowned from their Noble Family and banished from the city.

The Nobles have knowledge in all things, which goes on in their city and sometimes without, the most fun they have is with a trader trying to get a better deal than they had gotten. The Nobles gave trading licenses to the other kingdoms on the continent of Sage via a letter of recommendation in not harming their neutrality. The Noble City of Thrayheath has a neutral attitude with what is going on the world, they haven’t once tried to intrude on other people’s business if they come from the other kingdoms.
The Noble City of Thrayheath worships the gods of Vurin and Alanthrial as their primary gods. They also have one secondary and tertiary god they also worship. Casion is the secondary god and Turin is their tertiary god. It is mostly because it constantly rains over the Noble City and they always praise their gods for the fortunate rains. They usually show their appreciation by wearing jewelry that matches their worship requirements.
Additionally, they are absolutely have a problem on their hands, there has been Giant Spiders coming from the woodlands to the north and the coast to the east and west of their city. These spiders are similar to Black Widows or Brown Recluses but much larger and much more dangerous compared to the smaller counterparts. Everyone within the Noble City of Thrayheath is terrified of spiders because of a strange coincidence, which caused him or her to be suspicious of these spiders. These spiders have intelligence as if someone is leading them to cause mayhem and terror to the citizens of Thrayheath. The Spiders from the woodlands are called Tree Willows and the spiders from the ocean are called Brown Depth Spiders. This is the primary reason, why the Noble City of Thrayheath has a very strict conscription policy. The spiders only come out around midnight to 3 o’clock. There has only been one incident called the Spider's Declaration of Terror to the Citizens of Noble City of Thrayheath, which caused one of these spiders literally to terrorize Cassandra and Madison of the Bhiloda-Darila Noble Family by taunting them and their nightmares was terrifying. This happened around 8 o'clock in the morning. The Spiders are fluent enough to speak the language of any kind of human they deem their enemies.
Rule Changed: The most important law within the Noble City was changed because of the horrific attack on the city by the Giant Spiders. It has to deal with Same-Sex Relationships instead of being disowned from their family and banished from the city for the rest of their lives. If they ever try to return, they will be killed on site and they will be, as they never existed within the Noble City. The Rule Change only exiles them for eight years and their noble family will not disown them, even though it puts a huge burden on the noble families if that happens. The Noble Families affected by this will lose about half of their wealth and prestige and given a penalty of showing their faces in public. Until the accused marries a wealthy male but if they do not marry a male, they will be forced to join the Thrayheathian Guard and this only happens when the 8 years of exile is up. The only reason why this is a part of the rules is to increase the Military Population within the Noble City. If they are forced to join the Thrayheathian Guard, they will stay as Adepts for the rest of their lives.
However, the Bhiloda-Darila Noble Family was the big opponents for the change since their daughter was highly affected by the Giant Spiders since it made her unable to move for a week, in a coma. Even though it is somewhat less strict, it would have been better if it stayed its old way in terms of strictness since this will bite many people in the asses because of this change. In addition, the Draevan Noble Family in the council meeting did not really mean the forced to stay as Adepts but it was a very heated debate about the Same-Sex Relationship rule. The Adepts would be allowed to go to Apostles and to Draevan's Equal but it will take a lot longer for their training in each rank instead of 15 years total, it will take 30 years in total.
Religion Leader: The Religious Leader within the Noble City of Thrayheath is always an Head Priestess, which start on their path of being one at age seven and they are the only ones that allowed to be Conscripted into Service by anyone. They are completely exempt from this task. The Head Priestess is named Vera P. Yaariyan of the Yaariyan District. She was born on the same day as Cassandra R. Bhiloda-Darila.
Alchemy: Alchemy within the Noble City of Thrayheath has been gaining strength in the city since it is required for the city to keep its people healthy. However, the cost of alchemy materials cost a lot more than most in any other city and it is based on your prestige within the Noble City. The noble families within the Noble City that give their services free are the Bhiloda-Darila Family and the Draevan Family but their specialty items are the only way for them to make money. The Anti-Tanning Salve from the Bhiloda-Darila Family and the Draevan Family's Star Salve is an empowering rejuvenation for weapons to fix their impurities so they can last a lot longer in combat. The Star Salve can only be put on swords.
The Noble City of Thrayheath gives a 50% discount for Alchemy materials to anyone who is just passing through the city. The only things that cost for travelers are potions, salves and the two specialty salves, the Anti-Tanning Salve and the Star Salve. The Noble City donates potions and salves to its citizens to protect themselves from the Giant Spiders that are constantly attacking the city.
Icon: The symbol that is on the flag of the Noble City of Thrayheath is the Thrayheathian Hawk. It is given its space but they are very loyal to anyone, who is their owner. They are quite protective over their owners even in the most difficult of times. However, these hawks are quite expensive to own only the wealthiest of the Nobles in the Noble City can own them, the people who are from other cities, towns, or villages usually cannot even hope to own one. The Flag is only on the Seafaring vessels of the Noble City and on certain parts of their noble city on each Noble Family's Mansion.
Military Force: The Thrayheathian Guard is the most protective of its trading fleet but it requires a lot of training to be a Captain of one of these vessels. It requires you to become an Adept and train for 5 years, there is multiple adepts within the Thrayheathian Guard, it is whatever your Conscription training was about, Longbows, Crossbows, and Swords. There is a fourth Adept it is called the Magic Adept. The Adepts are the recruits in the Thrayheathian Guard, the next rank up from Adepts are Apostle, the Field Commanders of the ground forces.
However, you must know the adepts get to wear a certain armor set for each of their weapon types or if they use magic. The Magic Adepts get to wear their day-to-day clothes since magic usually is negated if wearing heavier armor. The Longbow Adepts get to wear Leather armor since it helps them have some protection against anything that tries to attack them. The Crossbow Adepts get Leather Armor with one chainmail piece of armor for whatever part of their body they want, aka mostly they pick underneath their leather armor on their upper body. The Sword Adept gets to wear the heaviest of armor.
The Apostles are allowed to keep their armor since they earned it and wear it wherever they go from now on, and they also get a name fitted for them after they earn this rank, they earn the title of protector of Nobles. If they stay in the Thrayheathian Guard for another five years, they will earn the highest rank within the Guard, it is called Draevan's Equal, there are a very few of these that aren't apart of the Noble Family of Draevan. The Draevan's Equal is the Captain Rank to be one of the captains of the Sea, to use the Trade Protection Fleet as well or not better than the one who founded the Military District of the Noble City; these Captains are usually able to captain the largest of the ships in the Protection Fleet. The Draevan Family commands two of the three ships of the line, while the third is Maria L. Wilhelm, who is the youngest daughter in that noble family's lineage and since she commands one of the three ships, it gives her family a lot more advantage in the Council.
The Captains usually gets a title, "The Protector of the Noble City's Neutrality." The training to become a Draevan's Equal is a lot tougher than becoming an Apostle. In addition, it is mostly because of your family's prestige in the Noble City, the higher up the harder it is to become a Draevan's Equal. That means the Bhiloda-Darila's Noble Family would be nigh impossible to become a Draevan's Equal.
The Military District is very loose with the city's rules, in terms of the Female Barracks only while the male barracks is strict to follow suit with the rules. The Female Barracks has strict rules within the barracks, which you must not make the prodigy cry from the Draevan Noble Family, which is kinda strange rule. Fiona N. Draevan is 17 years old right now and only took about 3 years to learn the Crossbow Training from her father and mother, while it is taking her longer to learn Swords from her older brother Derrick N. Draevan. She was 12 years old when she was forced into being a part of the Military lifestyle of her family so the only real companionship she sees is in her fellow female Adepts because she shown a knack for strategy, which is very uncommon among her family members. She also has a taboo way of looking at things, in terms of what her sexual preferences are, mostly the reason why the female barracks does not follow the same rules as the Male barracks.
The only reason why the Draevan Noble Family is allowed to skirt past the laws of the city is that they protect the city after the Conscripts are done with their training and very few of the conscripts join the military so it is a very battle hardened group of individuals, which kinda scary to come up against.
Ships of the Line: There are three ships of the line that the Noble City of Thrayheath own for their protection of all trade in the seas for anyone since they have their neutrality to think about. TSP; Thrayheathian Ship Protector is what they are classified as. TSP Theodore, TSP Draevan and the TSP Varek are the names of the ships. Garr-Molsi Noble Family's head is named Theodore N. Garr-Molsi and he controls the Harbor District is the primary reason why he has a name to a ship of the line. The other two are obvious; the Draevan Noble Family is very protective of their city in all ways since they are fully into military and Varek is the head of the Bhiloda-Darila's Noble Family.
Population: 600,000
Ethnicity: The Noble City of Thrayheath are lighter skin tone than all other humans, which makes them somewhat look like they are frail people in terms of their skin tone. They are sunburned very easily and usually cannot stay out in the sun very long. Their hair color are easily has a wide variety of hair colors. The people who possess silver hair are usually revered as apart most prestigious Noble Families and Traders; it is a very rare trait to be born with silver hair. Most people of the Noble City of Thrayheath are usually of the average height for male and female and can wear their hair as long or as short as possible, which they try to keep clean and well combed. The males like short hair and while the females like longer hair. The Noble City of Thrayheath’s primary eye color is Gray, which can sometimes turn into Blue Eyes.

Personality: He is often lost in his own surroundings. His thoughts are more on what he can find to interest himself and how to make the world somewhat safer. He generally dislikes being at rest like most beserkers but unlike them he isn't battle-starved. For Thryr a good drink, some good friends and a stomach of warm food is a good evening.
In battle, he is a guardian at heart. Taking hits for others in the form of bull rushing into the fray. He tends to hit the big enemies first, cleaving his wy to them with his massive warhammer.

History

Siblings: Seren(Sister), Firstborn, Friendly. Draxor(Brother), Secondborn, Friendly. Hildan(Brother), Nuetral.
Childhood: Growing up was hard for Thryr. He wasn't well liked by the extended family because he wasnt as smart... And he often went on fits of rage, breaking things. He eventually settled down as he got older. At a young age he proved to be adept in battle. His strength only grew and he often broke things on accident. In response this his father started training him in blacksmithing. He drilled its finer points into Thryr, giving the young boy a proper way of getting his rage out.
Adulthood: After his Rite of Manhood, Thryr decided he wanted to travel for a bit. His father, who runs the city, allowed him since he had both a Merchant and Adventurer guild badges. He told him to write a letter once a week to let him know that his favorite son was safe.
Thryr set off, traveling and making a name fore himself, using his father's connections to build his own... And forgot about his father's single request. This lead to the door of the pub he was in being knocked down and Jerrod storming in demanding to see him. It was quite a shock to the patrons to see the massive half giant quite literally shaking in his boots. He's never forgotten to write since.
At age 20 Thryr found his first lover. His name was Drixel, and he was a mage Thryr saved from some muggers. Drixel then followed him around determined that Thryr wanted something from him. But found that the berserker did it because they had insulted him. They became friends. And after a night of drinking a few months later became lovers... Only for a few years later for Thryr to get a letter saying he was missing.
Special Moments: Battles stick out to him. Sunsets and dawn are something he holds close to him as he was told it was what his mother loved... and he never got to se her.
Current Events: The letter was posted in the guild and Thryr wanted to take it. Being forbidden by his father he snuck out, leaving a note and set off on a journey to find the source. He is drivenby his need to get out and live his life his own way. His other motivation would be to find the lost trail of Drixel.

History
Parents: Both are deceased
Siblings: No known siblings
Childhood: During Tisandros' childhood, the fighting against the Naga became really terrible. The village he grew up in was decimated by ravaging villagers who thought of his type as a monster or beast to be slain. Thinking that by destroying the "hive" they would eliminate the problem. While he was still young and not quite fully grown, Tisandros parents had him hide away deep within the earth where he would not be found. After a few weeks and fighting seemed to be ended, he emerged from the earth starving and dehydrated to find that his entire village had been killed and destroyed. He searched but found no survivors. He travelled to the woods of Galorond and made a home there under the canopies of the trees. After a few years of living on the land an older druid mage found his way into his wood looking for a secluded place to build him home and meditate on his magic.
Tisandros, originally planning on scaring the mage out of the woods instead studying him from amongst the trees before coming down and introducing himself, ready for a fight should the need arise. The mage look a liking to the young Naga and the two became fast friends. The mage taught Tisandros everything he knew all the while calling him Caval. He learned quickly and naturally, discovering his love and passion for magic. In his 30's Tisandros travelled to the fairy wood with his master where he met Nyx. He saved her from an attacking predator using his powers of Zoolingualism and Animal Empathy. Nyx clung to him, lost and alone and Tisandros formed an unmatched bond between them. They've been together ever since, the tiny fairy and the large Naga.
Adulthood: At the age of 50, the mage was very old and having taught Tisandros everything he knew, died in his sleep under a full silver moon giving his Caval his final lesson in divination magic as he prophesied his own death. Tisandros buried his friend and father deep under the structure they built together to make the old mans home. The old man left him his short sword and keep with him always in case of emergency and he's held onto it ever since.
After a few years of wondering he joined a mercenary group and learned not only how to use his skills to his advantage but also how to use this dagger as he needed it. He became a pretty good thief in spite of his size because of his ability to get really low to the ground and hold his breath for long periods. He could sneak onto a passing ship, steal a chest and sneak off without much of a sound or whisper.
Special Moments: The death of his village, the meeting and dying of the old mage and joining the group of mercenaries.
Current Events: Tisandros and Nyx are strolling through their woods watching and counting the stars together, Nyx sitting comfortably on his shoulder her little head resting against his neck. Tisandros stopped slowly and whispered to himself, "Why do I do this? Why have I chosen this life my friend? And why have you joined me?" The little fairy snuggled her face into the Nagas neck as if to tell him she would accompany him anywhere. Tisandros sighed to himself, hoping to make a change within himself and use the ability the old mage gave him for good rather then for harm.

Day To Day Attire: Mostly wears robes made of natural plant material
Psychological Attributes
Humble * Helpful * Free-spirited * Oblivious
Personality: Sprout is the kind of person who just wants to go where the wind takes him. Given his ability to fly sometimes that's literal. The practical classes at the academy were much more to his liking than anything written. He doesn't like feeling as though he's in a cage, he wants to be out and exploring the world.
From an early age Sprout was taught to be humble about who he was. For the longest time he never realized how well off his family was. They didn't live extravagant lives, money was just never an issue, so he never thought himself better than anyone else. Even now that he knows of and has access to the family fortune he chooses to wear simple clothes, and live off his own means.
Sprout is the kind of person who will help anyone or anything he thinks he is able to help. Obviously plants and animals are easier to help than people most of the time. Sprout can be a bit thick headed at times though and probably won't notice any hints someone might drop that he's being annoying. Oftentimes Sprout lives in his own world, and people need to be pretty explicit for him to get what they're saying.
Skills
A listing of skills, such as horseback riding, and natural abilities, such as night vision - this also includes any racial edges
- Skill: Animal Communication Is able to communicate with any animal he may come across. Doesn't mean they always want to talk, only that he knows they understand him and he understands them. (Possibly magic, made it a skill since it's more of a passive thing)
- Skill: Mimicry Can mimic any sound he has heard before. Voices are harder and can be found as fake by someone paying enough attention. This is a skill most Maranek possess.
- Skill: Natural Flight Sprout can fly just like a bird would. This is why he travels as light as he can, heavy armour would just hinder this ability
- Skill:First Aid Sprout knows how to clean and dress a wound, make a splint for a broken bone, perform CPR, and other first aid abilities. He worked hard to learn this because he's not very proficient with healing magic.
- Skill: Bow Training A combination of formal training and his own practice has made Sprout fairly able to fire an arrow
- Skill: Forest Survival Sprout is able to find food and water fairly easily in forests. This skill can be extended to other areas with the use of his ecological empathy magic.
Magic
A listing of spells, their descriptions - casting times, elements needed to cast, expected damage, any drawbacks to casting
- Spell: Weather Manipulation Can cause rain, fog, clouds, clear skies, and a variety of other weather conditions. Cast time varies and is usually dependant on the environment. Causing it to snow in a desert would take quite a long time, but causing clouds to dissipate would be much faster.
- Spell: Lightning Strike Mostly used for show, Sprout can call a bolt of lightning from a cloud. It looks impressive but is difficult to make accurate. He has special metal arrows to fire at an enemy he wishes to kill to improve accuracy. He does not enjoy killing so this is rarely used
- Spell: Wild Growth Sprout can cause plants to grow rapidly, this included regenerating the plants cells in a case where it may be dying. He carries the seeds of viney plants so he can always try to trip up or tie up an attacker if he is not near plan life. Sprout is most adept at this type of magic.
- Spell: Ecological Empathy Sprout can sense the state of nearby plant life and knows what is wrong with it if anything, be it magical, natural, poison, etc. The more mana he uses the larger the area can be. Plants in his immediate vicinity use essentially no mana.
