Is earliest memory is that of the birth of his sister Tykfal. He grew up under the watchful care of is mother and spend many a days playing with is baby sister. Very early he was taught many tongues by is father Ceomia and Dejy, by Koyen is mother. He was also taught how to read and write for those are the first skills one must to learn be a good trader. At the age of eight he asked is father how he had met with Koyen and why did they marry? Is father told him about is past and how he became the man he was at that moment.Some twenty-seven years ago Ceomia was a successful merchant from Saaniema, who owned a ship and sailed to Zoa in order to purchase exotic goods. Profit was good but between pirate attacks, fogs and storms the Bay was dangerous place to sail. One night he was caught by a huge storm, is ship sank but he held on to a barrel and prayed all the gods whose named he knew to save him. He promised he would never again set foot on a boat if they spared is life. Whether as an answer to is prayers or by shear luck, Ceomia survived the storm. He floated for two days and nights before he was rescued by fishermen near the shores of the Republic of Saaniema. He lost most of fortune with the wreck of is ship but he still had a little bit of money and many contacts because of is many years of travel. He held is promise to the gods and settled in a cozy two story building which he purchased with the rest of his money. He turned one of the rooms into a shop and opened under the name "Ceomia's herbs and exotics". It is during those years that he saw Koyen a Dejy slave girl and it was love at first sight. He purchased her and granted her freedom back by marrying a few months later under the watchful eyes of The Guardian, Neevu.Trazes spent the next years learning is father's profession with the support of is mother. Koyen told him about her life in the Vry Naasaun Headlands before her capture at the hands of Reanaarian soldiers and how now she was happy, in life she never could have imagined in her tribe. By Trazes twelfth birthday, things took a sad turn when Koyen fell ill. She suffered from a blood disease and the healers could do nothing but ease her suffering. Her corpse was mounted on a funeral barge and sent adrift blazing into the Reanaarian Bay.Feeling sad and bitter Trazes rebelled against is father's authority. He started hanging in the streets of Saaniema, where he met with Taalnoa and his elder brother Liamar. They were a pair of rogues from the country side of the Republic earning their coins by their wits and skills. Taalnoa was about Trazes aged and he was a natural tumbler who taught him the basic. He dreamed of one day travelling to Baethel where he would petition to study at The Theatre of Arts and become a famous bard. Liamar was more of a grim character with a quick temper, but most of the time he did not resort to physical violence unless is brother was threatened. After four years of performance and training Taalnoa felt confident he would be accepted at the Theatre. During these years Trazes also learned a few thievery skills and attitude from Liamar. The two brothers set sail for Beathel a sunny morning of Harvester 738 YND. Trazes keep performing but he soon lost interest.That winter Ceomia was stricken at the hearth and nearly died. Trazes went back to is father to make peace and help with the business while is father was recuperating. Eventually Ceomia felt good enough to return to work but he would often be short of breath and weak. Trazes and Tykfal were officially introduced to the business. They met with Captain Hotakk a Fhokki from Adarr Norr who supplies them with spices bought in Zoa and Ceomia's trading contacts around Saaniema. Ceomia died of a stroke in 720 YND leaving them both owners of "Ceomia's herbs and exotics". In memory of there father they kept the shop's name and founded the House Enada.Unable to concentrate on the business, Tykfal took over the daily affairs of the shop over the following year while Trazes dealt with the transport of the supplies. With the money inherited from his father, Trazes trained to be a warrior at Sinlarai's School of Arms for the last year sometimes even under the elven swordmaster himself.Last year Tykfal married Dealnaa, the third son of a wealthy Reanaarian farmer. He works as a guard for the town's Watch.  Next time coming up with Ahran-Thyss backround.I hope you enjoy it.</blockquote>
