Character History Yeven was born and raised in the city of Zeltiva by mainly his mother. His father was a traveling trader who would come back home and from his high sea adventures and support his family with the goods he brought home before he was off and out again to gather more valuables on his next great adventure. Yeven's mother ran a local market booth where she would sell anything her husband would leave behind for the few days she could. During the off time she would work in local taverns helping with cleaning as a maid and washing dishes. Yeven and his mother lived a simple life in a cottage for a good six years until his father came back on his final trip injured and unable to walk for the next few weeks. It was at this point Yeven's family went into hard times for his father could no longer work the trading routes at sea and traveling by land outside of Zeltiva was more trouble than the trading was worth. This was when Yeven's parents opened up their own tavern to host the more mature local fishermen and sailors who operated in Zeltiva. It brought in small business, but hardly enough to pay the bills. Life was hard, but Yeven always seemed happy as he would greet the costumers and always ask them about the things they had seen out at sea. The older folk were always happy to provide Yeven with stories of grand adventures and terrifying tales of the deep blue sea. Yeven's favorite stories though, were those told by his father before bed about the various places he had traveled, the things he had seen, and the people he had traded with. The life of a trader was then planted into Yeven's mind as he learned of far off lands and some of the languages they spoke. As Yeven grew up he helped out around the tavern his parents owned as well as the other local establishments. Working various odds and ends for the townsfolk around, but mainly what he did was make everyplace he worked at more lively. Always being hospitable to the guest and making them feel welcome. He would listen to travelers’ tales, depressed men's sob stories, housewives gossip, and just about anything people would talk to him about. While he wasn't the strongest worker or the brightest scholar, Yeven definitely knew people. Soon came the day when Yeven would leave his parents’ home and rented out a flat in the more bustling parts of Zeltiva it is here he begins his new life hoping to join a crew of traders and travel across the seas of Mizahar.
