His mother, Einya, was illegally sold as a slave to a local gambler in the city of Ahnatep in the region of Eyktol while still very young. Ashford's father, Jeryan Yendorin, while on his trade route caught notice and through bartering personal cargo and gems his father bought her freedom. Jeryan settled after his return voyage with Einya. As a member of the Sailors' Guild, Jeryan built vessels in the shipyard for majority of Ashford's youth. Ashford was primarily raised by his mother and her tales of the Sea of Grass in Cyphrus rang through his waking hours when he wasn't beside his father in the shipyards. By his sixteenth year, in 493 AV, his first trade voyage made him a man. Ashford, affectionately named by his seafaring peers as "Ash", would spend the next nine years voyaging the trade routes, residing for a short period in Syliras, and returning to Zeltiva to build ships alongside his father. In 503 AV, a year after returning home, his father died due to a fall from a scaffold in the shipyards. Ash's mother, died shortly after the same year suffering severe food poisoning. As an only child, and with the experience of his travels leaving him curious he enrolled at the University of Zeltiva with the focus of his studies in intelligence gathering and philosophy. In his free time, and to make money while attending school, he cared for the local domesticated animals. Ash's genuine interest to live the remainder of his life with the heritage his mother spoke of her former years never left. Asking a favor from a friend of his father, Ash gathered his belongings, to include his mother's heirloom, a small topaz pendant that was hand made etched by her father, and a gift to his father for his last birthday by his mother, a 12 year old male Rainbow Magpie named Jay - Ash said goodbye to Zeltiva to reside in Riverfall. Upon his arrival he found a place to stay at the Kuahala Estates and bought initial supplies to settle in as the end of the Summer Season was drawing to a close.   LANGUAGE Language Fluent Language: Common Basic Language: Pavi Poor Language: Tukant   SKILLS Skills Skill EXP Total Proficiency Birdkeeping 5 SP 5 Novice Intelligence 9 SP 9 Novice Philosophy 5 SP 5 Novice Writing 10 SP 10 Novice Wilderness Survival 15 SP 15 Novice Animal Husbandry 15 RB, 6 SP 21 Novice   LORES Lores Lore of Topaz Horsemen Clan Lore of Mizahar Trade Routes   BACKPACK Comb (Bone), Brush (Bone), Soap, Razor Balanced Rations (5 Week’s Worth) 1 eating knife Flint & Steel Topaz pendant (Mother's heirloom) Set of Falconry Tools - Hood, Jesses, Falconry gloves Animal Groomers Tool Kit Empty Book Quill and 2 vials of ink (2 ounces worth)   WORN 1 Set of Clothing (Colorful) -Simple shirt, pants, undergarments, cloak, boots 1 Waterskin 1 Longsword 1 Leather Armor   HOUSE Kuahala Estates - Affordable private places with a great view in RIVERFALL. -1 Small Bird Cage Ledger   Summer-514AV Purchase Cost Total Starting +100 GM 100 GM 4 wks rations -14 GM 86 GM Falconry Tools -6 GM 80 GM Small bird cage -5 GM 75 GM Animal Groomers Kit -10 GM 65 GM Longsword -15 GM 50 GM Leather Armor -10 GM 40 GM Empty Book -3 GM 37 GM 2 ounce vials, ink -2 GM 35 GM Quill -5 CM 34 GM, 9 SM, 95 CM   Fall-514AV Thread List   Summer-514AV An Evening Stroll - A Knowledgeable Akalak stranger of Riverfall & Ashford meet.   Fall-514AV
