Character HistoryBorn in Whitevine, Redire's parents wasted no time in setting out on a pilgrimage to go north, seeking the goddess Morwen in her Ice Palace so that she may bless him. Fortunately, she did, placing her divine mark on his his right hand in an intricate pattern that resembled a snowflake. After many thanks from the young couple and an offering of rare herbs from the mother and a display of combat interpreted by dance from the father, they set out to return home.
Growing up, it difficult for his parents to spend time with the young Vantha. His mother, Izlandis, was a healer and user of Auristics for the hold's medical center while his father, Zephyr, was a member of Icewatch. More often than naught, he spent the day with his friend Lena to fill the empty space. It was like this until he learned basic math and how to read and write, that he searched for his mother so that he could help. After many arguments and constant nagging, he began working by taking stock of various herbs and medicine vials, the practice leading to his like of organization.
At the age of Thirteen, his father stepped in to begin mentoring him on the way of the hunt. This wasn't easy, as most of the other children who joined in gave him false leads that would result in him getting lost. With time, Redire learned how to survive in the wilderness and work with the resources around him to make himself an asset to the team. To further his usefulness, he learned the basics of skinning and tanning the hides of his kill inn the hopes that he could one day run his own business.
Reaching the age of Sixteen, Redire began his pursuit of knowledge, feeding the curiosity that had been gnawing at him for a couple years now. He knew nothing of the world around him, but was surrounded by individuals who wandered Avanthal and possibly beyond, so he began working for these people to learn. Zephyr noticed this, and one day approached him with a wooden compound bow and matching quiver, saying these words, "Time surely flies when you're watching someone you love grow. Your mother and I have taught you all that we know, but we understand that you have a goal and want to support you. I made this bow with our family crest carved near the grip and a carving of wolves on both arms. Know that we give you our blessing if you seek to venture out in the world and pray to Lady Morwen to watch out for you in your travels." Shocked and on the verge of tears, he embraced his father and accepted the gifts, vowing that he would return one day should be leave.
Saying a few sweet goodbyes to his parents, Redire traveled to the city of Alvadas at the age of Eighteen, having heard about it from a friend and was drawn by the new environment along with the idea of constantly changing scenery sparked his curiosity. Gathering what few possessions he had, along with some extra money thanks to his parents, he was able to purchase a home at the Sanity Center and relied heavily on the strange key/compass that guided him through what felt like a maze. Once home, he took stock of what he had and crossed his arms before saying, "Alright...let's get to work."
