“A spirited young warrior, walking in the footsteps of Doenwaeka.”
Zhyalyhe is a short dark-skinned Sea Wolf who carries a nimble frame compared to most of his compatriots. Though his legs are very strong, his upper body isn’t that of an axe-wielding warrior. He is skilled in the practice of archery and spear throwing, skills his fisherbard father taught him, “There’s be more then one way t’ catch a fish”.
His father has taught him most of what he knows, though unlike his father, the call to adventure is deep within his soul. His father is his source of inspiration, but masked behind a shroud of stories about a famous Sea Wolf his father would tell stories about, Doenwaeka, the Lightning Warrior. He uses the Lightning Warrior’s tenets as a template for his own actions, believing they will bring him glory.
He wears war paints and symbols across his body. You can tell the paints have been applied many times without washing. There are faint markings over his face and torso and the paints in several places are cracked and warped.

Tenets of the Doenwaeka
Before you can understand Zee, you must first know the six tenants of the Doenwaeka.
⟿ Sneak, scare then shoot
Like Zhyalyhe, the Doenwaeka was also short for a Roegadyn, and so he used his other talents to his advantage. This tenet roughly relates to using violence as a last resort.
⟿ Always look good
Appearance is key when navigating the high seas.
⟿ If you miss, try try again
The Doenwaeka never gave up, and neither should you. Sooner or later you will get what you deserve.
⟿ Go forever faster
This roughly translate to the Doenwaeka's endless training in preparation for the challenges ahead.
⟿ Wear your heart proudly
If it is important to be at the peak of physical fitness, it is also important to have a healthy mind. The Doenwaeka never kept any emotion bottled up.
⟿ Go for the gold
There is no bigger or more noble pursuit than the quest for riches, even if that may be the legendary golden herring.
