===== Background & Notes ===== | ===== Background & Notes ===== | ||
+ | Quiv was born in 1878 near the town of Telstrasi in the country of Assel-Vesdra, | ||
+ | |||
+ | There was plenty to do on a family farm, and as he grew old enough he joined his parents, brother and sister in doing the necessary chores. His father taught all the children how to train and handle animals, but Quiv seemed to have a greater knack for it than either Wellerane or Laureaisse. While he was still in his 40s, Aevalin, noticing his tiny son's talent, arranged for him to regularly spend time with one of his kinsmen, a reclusive trapper who was legendary for his skill as a tracker and for his uncanny rapport with animals. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Quiv proved an apt pupil and almost nothing gave him more pleasure than listening and learning from Great-great-great-uncle Ilon, an elf already old and wise when the Gods were born. It was from him he heard of the baby Goddess, Maruthra. He told of when the fledgling Goddess was ' | ||
+ | known, but she had to be reminded and needed help in sorting out all the myriad shards of uncounted billions of years of memories.) This was the task of the ancient druids of every race who remembered the secrets of the Old Gods, and of other more mysterious creatures, forces, and powers. Ilon had been guide and protector for the elven seer who had made the long, dangerous pilgrimage to teach Maruthra what she needed to know, despite countless assaults from the legacies of the eleven exiled Gods who would have loved to destroy the newborn deity and the future she represented. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Slowly Quiv grew in strength and stature and understanding. Life seemed unchanging, the days melting smoothly into one another in a serene continuum of love, joy and learning. The only unusual element that set the Soth family apart from any other in the village was its size. Nobody had five children in a mere hundred years! It was astonishing. However, Mama was untroubled by any hint of criticism. As it was said in the colloquial terms of the village, Mama had 'the sight' | ||

+ | The boy couldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Life grew harder for the young family then, and much sadder, but they managed. Uncle Ilon kept the stewpot filled and taught all the children how to hunt and trap. Mama's young cousin, Naremsul, still several years short of manhood, but at 150 old and strong enough to farm, moved in with them and became much like another older brother. Mama grieved but didn't brood, and took comfort in her children, wishing she'd been wrong, but vindicated that she'd made the right decision--and all five children knew they were loved and wanted. So it was, the family survived, even thrived, and Quiv did his share to make it happen. He worked hard, and played hard, and as he approached manhood, dreamed of great deeds and splendid adventures. On his hundredth birthday there was a celebration and he was given the family tattoo of a lizard on his left arm, a symbol of his coming of age--not yet a man, but no longer a child. | ||

+ | ==== Family Notes ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Soths were all of average height and build--typically elven, one would say, with every one tan and well formed, keen eyed and fleet of foot. Cuanna was the darkest, with melting brown eyes and mahogany coloured hair that only caught fire in bright sunlight, Wellerane the fairest with eyes a pure malachite and hair like ripe corn. Laureaisse, Quivalin and Taobon fell in the middle, with hazel eyes and hair betwixt russet and sorrel. Blond, grey-eyed Cousin Sully was more impressively muscled than average and a bit taller...but he took after his father' | ||
