Show text

• R'airasa bears a son to R'kiroh Nunh, the son R'zmir Tia was born with disparately colored eyes, a sign that is considered auspicious amongst their people.
• R’khan Tia challenges the current Nunh R'kiroh. R’khan defeats R'kiroh, which ends in R'kiroh’s life being taken.
• Even after killing R'kiroh, R'khan is still bitterly jealous of R'kiroh's lineage, and being a very superstitious man, he sought to end R'zmir's life as well. R'airasa pleads with R’khan to spare her son's life. R'khan agrees, on the terms of exclusive breeding rights to R'airasa. She agrees and her son's life is spared, but she is forbidden to leave the tribe.
• After bearing R'khan two daughters, R'kai and R'sai, a son is born. R'tekh Tia is also born with disparately colored eyes.
• The brothers grow and learn together, although R'tekh is favored more by R'khan and is personally trained by his father, while the boy's education is saw to by the tribe chief R'djinn. R'khan mostly ignores R'zmir leaving it to R'airasa to teach the boy. Even as children the two brothers, would fight over who was the favorite.

• A mysterious wanderer finds her way to the tribe's small temporary encampment in the Sagolii Desert. Both herself, and her daughter are welcomed into the tribe.
• R'zmir becomes rather curious about the two newcomers, and visits the woman often. After the death of the girl's mother, R'zmir takes it upon himself to look out for the girl, as she has no one else really. He also takes to watching his younger half sibling R'tekh as well. Rhynka learns to hunt and gather, adapting to the tribe’s routines under the watchful eye of R’zmir Tia, alongside his younger brother (The tribe’s next chief,) R’tekh Tia..

{Age 26-29}

• After becoming overly confident in her skills Rhynka, ventures away from their tribe, R'zmir is tasked with tracking her down, and bringing her back. Over her many attempts his skill as a tracker increases greatly.
• R'zmir grows fond of the young girl, because of her stubbornness, skills, and her fiery unyielding will. She seems to be a very bright young girl, as well as strong spirited. The young girl seemed to have taken a liking to him, as she constantly spends time with R'zmir. This causes a further rift between the half-brothers as R'tekh's jealously begins to take root making him resent R'zmir.
• The rift between the half-brothers grows wider, after R'tekh painstakingly crafts a ring made of drake's bone. The ring was very intricately designed, given to her as a sign of affection, even after R'zmir had just given her a coeurl fang necklace. R'tekh, being the more intelligent of the two, had made his gift to surpass his half-brother in every aspect. Seeing as the young Rhynka never went without the ring, it rekindled the resentment R'zmir had for R'tekh.
• R'tekh would wander away from the tribe, every so often, to come back with stories of failed hunts, though he seemed no worse for the wear, if not more pampered than before. There was something about the tia, which gave his half-brother R'zmir an unsettling feeling.
• Shortly after one of R'tekh's trips away from the tribe, their chief fell ill, weeks passed as all forms of remedies known to their tribe failed to cure him. R'tekh did not appear as upset as the rest of the tribe he seemed rather content passing off the illness as "Azeyma calling back one of her beloved.” Seeing as the chief R'djinn was quite old, one would only assume the man passed from old age, and sickness. When R'djinn passes from this life he leaves the title of chief to R'tekh. R’zmir is furious at the choice of his younger sibling to be the next chief. Arguments spurred by anger constantly tear at the rift between the two brothers. R'zmir sees this as yet another sign of the favoritism given to R'tekh. R'zmir's distrust of his brother grows after the death of the chief.
• R'zmir's skills in survival and tracking continue to increase as Rhynka continues to run away from their tribe making it further and further each time until she finally makes it to the highlands of Coerthas.

{Age 29-30}

• The red moon appears in the sky causing discord amongst the entire tribe. R’zmir suggests venturing to the city states to learn more of this omen bringing unease to their people and to find a means to protect them. R'tekh disagrees, wishing to not have the tribe go to the cities, saying this would be a sign of weakness for the tribe. Their differences in opinion as well as status in the tribe causes a heated argument, which would have led to a fight between the brothers, had the young Rhynka not stepped in the middle of them to diffuse the situation.
• The sudden loss of R’khan pierces the community like a knife in the dark. R'zmir mourns the loss more out of obligation, not truly devastated by the loss of R'khan as the others. They bear witness to his grand pyre burning high until first light in the morning. While many are comforted with tales R’tekh spins of R’khan’s bravery, including his mighty fall against the Sun Drakes that would have otherwise eaten R’tekh, R'zmir is untrusting of his half-brother’s tale. R’tekh assumes the position of Nunh (As well as chief) under the claim it was R’khan’s dying wish.
• The growing red moon becomes a larger worry than the death of their Nunh. As people begin to go missing from their tribe they become more fearful with rumors of wrath drifting free during R’tekh’s more frequent absences to investigate on his own. As Rhynka’s excursions become more frequent, so do R'zmir's absences from the tribe. R'zmir begins to try and find any clue that would link R'tekh with the death of R'khan, in any underhanded fashion.

"The Calamity Cometh"

Show text

• Seeing as Rhynka had now come into age to start coupling with a Nunh, R'zmir feared that R'tekh would once again have been favored over him. Some worries are lifted from R'zmir as Rhynka rejects R'tekh publically. He is rather happy about the fact. Although afterwards it would seem Rhynka was constantly trying to stay away from the tribe even though he always brought her back, until one day she went missing all together. R'zmir grew distraught at Rhynka's disappearance along with a growing number of their tribe that had also vanished recently.
• R'zmir had been ready to set out to find her like any normal time, only to be stopped this time by his half-brother R'tekh. R'tekh order him to not look for her, saying that if the girl ran away as much as she did it was clear she didn't want to be a part of their tribe. Forbidding R'zmir to look for her, R'tekh threatened exile to any who dared. R'zmir was now very distrusting of his half-brother, set out on his own to find Rhynka.
• After months of searching he finally found her deep within the stone network beneath the shroud. Locked in the cellar was not only Rhynka, but the other missing members of their tribe, as well as others he had not seen before, including a Keeper girl that Rhynka insisted on being her longtime friend.
• Upon releasing the unfamiliar captives to run home the Keeper girl informs R’zmir of his brother’s secret practices away from the tribe, unable to explain why he was blind to using both herself and Rhynka’s aether for his forbidden arts. She agrees to return with them as she feels hope in swaying R’tekh from making a tragic choice. R'zmir was unsure at first if he should let the keeper return with them as he already saw the actions of his brother as tragic. Although with Rhynka's insistence, R'zmir agreed to let the girl come along.
• When the three return, R’zmir is greeted with false accusations of his misdeeds to their tribe. The few of their kin clinging to life point the finger at R’tekh to clear R’zmir’s name. R’zmir turns his back on his brother to leave, saying he will take the bravest willing to follow him so they may meet the calamity looming above in hopes of saving their loved ones. Diakhan as well as her three girls and her close friend R’hama decide to go, along with Rhynka. At the thought of Rhynka and the younger girls leaving R’tekh issues a challenge to R’zmir, a fight between Tia and Nunh to the death.
• Knowing he was weaker than R'zmir, R’tekh opened with an underhanded attack on his half-brother. As R’zmir turned to face the challenge, R’tekh slashed his left eye with a poison coated blade, this left R'zmir blind in that eye. The battle was fierce and intense, although it was clear that R'zmir clearly was the stronger of the two physically. Having dominated the most of the fight between the brothers R’zmir was caught off guard as R’tekh resorts to using his aetheral skills to turn the tide of the fight. Through luck and determination, R'zmir was able to overcome his half-brother.
• When the duel is finally over R'zmir looked down at his half-brother victorious, even though he suffered many injuries. Raising his hand for the final strike on R'tekh, R'zmir has a moment of weakness and decides to let his half-brother live. In hopes that one day R'tekh may atone for the crimes he committed against their people. Making preparations to leave their current tribe, the older sibling takes on any that are willing to follow him. Leading the small band of misfits they set out to chase the red moon in the sky and face the fate that awaited them leaving R’tekh to lick his wounds with the majority who chose to stay with him.
• Along the way they pick up a lone nomadic Seeker under the name of Konri, a tribe less lone wanderer familiar to Diakhan and R’zmir, Konri had been tracking them for over a day. Shortly after this reunion Diakhan vanishes along with their unknown Keeper companion.
• Konri offers as many details as possible in their limited time before meeting their impending doom.
• Diakhan returns along with their keeper comrade and a young man she only refers to as special. In the night before the cataclysm she slips away with the three girls and the young man. R'zmir's son is fathered this same evening.

"End of an Era"

• A final confrontation occurs when they find themselves blocked by R’tekh and their fellow kin who had previously been rescued from the cellar. A bloody battle occurs, when R’tekh begins to feel his loss he makes a desperate move using the blood of his own brainwashed kin to bring a vicious creature from the void to finish his vengeance.
• R’hama dies in an attempt to interrupt his summoning. R’zmir becomes very focused on dispatching his younger sibling. His ire for R’tekh leaving him blind as Rhynka moved forward to redeem R’tekh from the very thing he had just brought upon them all. R’zmir is helpless to witness the horrific carnage of Rhynka taking a fatal blow that should have been for R’tekh. All the fight had left him, as R'zmir stood on the battlefield, frozen in place watching the scene play out before him for what seemed an eternity.
• In the midst of shock from despair and regret R’tekh looks upon his lost unrequited love as he is drug into the darkness by the being he summoned. The only trace of his presence ever being there remained in the tiny bone trinket he had made for Rhynka as a child.
• R'zmir, in a state of shock makes his way over to where her body lay lifeless. The only thing he could do was watch as the Keeper worked hastily against what would look like the impossible. Effectively trading a life for a life the Keeper snatches Rhynka from death’s grasp just before the last rays of light consume R’zmir.
