And extraordinarily she seems to know where every chamber is, who's occupying what where and for how long and what they owe the city for doing so. Eva is really good at what she does, and though she simply cannot see it, her common sense is too valuable to waste on becoming an Endal when the Commonrooms needed someone like her to take its organization under her wing.

Instructor Bursar is an acclaimed Master who keeps her skills sharp, still occasionally riding with a few Endal friends on hunts. Tysala teaches Yasi students regularly, but any higher status must make an appointment for such an excellently advanced Instructor, and only in exchange for a well made weapon or quiver of arrows or bolts.

It is to her that Yasi come to begin learning Falconry between the ages of 12 and 15, though it is an optional course for those younger. She is the ranking falconer in the city and only takes three apprentices at any given time, each training with her for no less than five years before releasing them for assignment by the Valintar. Known best for her sensitivity to the birds, it was no wonder Irist, a tawny crested Wind Eagle, bonded with her when she was 20. By then, she’d already made a name for herself in the bird world having drawn Eywaat’s attention at age 12 and then garnered the god’s favor again at age 21 when a nest of bay eagle chicks had been attacked by some of the mountain cats. Meera spends most of her time in or near the bird aeries not associated with the Wind eagles, helping young hopefuls understand the nuances of birdkeeping as well as honing her apprentice’s falconry skills. She is, unfortunately unable to continue assisting in hunts outside of Wind Reach, however, after Irish was grounded during an accident one hunt. Since, her time is absorbed in training birds and people alike. Besides the long ginger hair that is left free down her back, Meera is best recognized by the long feather-like growth behind her right ear, the iridescent plumes a glossy black with ivory core. Furthermore, it is well known her marriage to Nevin, the master glassworker in the Glass Reverie. Though they have been together for some time, they have not been able to bare children. It is suspected that one or both may be infertile. Nevin

For a class of Avora known for their sharp edges and flare for creativity, they are notoriously finicky and haughty. However, Nevin has a knack, not unlike a few others in the Masters group, for teaching. He adores children much more so than should be anticipated, and adores crafting his gift just for them. In the hot shop, in the hotshop, he is sometimes referred to as Papa Bird for the bold tattoo he wears across his shoulders. The thick piercings in his ears often hang with colorful glass beads, a bar piercing his lower lip as well. his bryda his thick about the waist but billows upon the legs, giving him the illusion of hovering when moving through the reverie. In a domain where marriage is uncommon, it is well known his union to Meera, the master falconer. They share a Chevas beneath their right ear, a doves feather in an open circle of chain. His devotion to the Endal is strong and their love of children shared, even if they have never had any of their own. It is strongly suspected that one or the other is infertile, the key suspect being Nevin himself after a rather devastating accident in his youth that involved cliff diving. Nonetheless, he oversees the Reverie with a keen eye and proud gait, teaching the growing youth and rarely taking on apprentices. |
