Pavilion
Name: Firetongue
Clan: Amethyst
Approx Size: Around 15 (8 NPCs, 3 PCs, space for more PCs)
Ankal: Beka Firetongue
Specialty: Veterinary
Accepts PC Members? Yes!
Current PC Members: Jez Firetongue, Valko Firetongue (inactive), Kai Firetongue (inactive)
History: A relatively new Pavilion, the Firetongue Pavilion earns their money through veterinary care. The Pavilion care for each other but are fairly independent. They all help out to varying degrees with the care of the animals, though some have separate jobs whilst others dedicate all their time to the Pavilion business. The oldest named family members are Beka (61yo), the Ankal, and his younger brother Fenrir (55yo). Their father was the previous Ankal but is now deceased. The other named family members are connected to Fenrir. His child born to his first wife (deceased) is Rosanna (28). His child born to an unnamed mother who left Endrykas 24 years old is a svefra, Valko (26, PC). His remaining children, born to Carla, are Jez (25, PC) Farrah (22), Salva (20), twins Caleb and Liam (19) and Kai (18, PC).
NPC
Name: Beka Firetongue
Race: Drykas
Date of Birth: 16th Spring 455 AV
Place of Birth: Endrykas
Title/Job: Ankal
Skills: Webbing (51), Animal Husbandry (15)
History: Beka has his windmarks. He took over as Ankal from his father and oversees his Pavilion. He makes sure to get to know all members of his Pavilion closely, and not play favourites. He will always try to guide members of the Pavilion, and maintain good relations within the Clan. Unable to sire children, Beka chose his second oldest nephew, Farrah, as the future Ankal.
NPC
Name: Fenrir
Race: Drykas
Date of Birth: 20th Summer 461 AV
Place of Birth: Endrykas
Title/Job: Head Vet
Skills: Animal Husbandry (51)
History: Fenrir has his windmarks. Knowing his older brother, Beka, was destined to be the Ankal, he grew up learning to supervise the Pavilion’s business. He is content with his life and caring for the animals, bringing in money for his Pavilion, but his connection to his children has suffered because of his work. Fenrir’s first wife (Rosanna’s mother) died in childbirth, while his second (Valko’s mother) left when her son was 2 years old. Carla, his third wife, remains alive in the Pavilion and has given him six children.
NPC
Name: Rosanna
Race: Drykas
Date of Birth: 1st Winter 488 AV
Place of Birth: Endrykas
Title/Job: Vet Assistant
Skills: Animal Husbandry (45)
History: Rosanna has her windmarks. Rosanna’s childhood was shaped around the loss of her mother so early on. While she shared in Valko’s pain of not being full siblings to the other children of the Pavilion, his situation was different so she couldn’t fully explain her feelings. Carla welcomed her as if she were her own daughter, but on bad days Rosanna couldn’t help the feelings of not quite fitting in. Noticing this, the adults allowed her to hang around while they worked. The animals brought her solace in a way the other children never could, and by the time she started thinking about a future she already knew that she would follow in her father’s footsteps. She saw how losing a fiancé affected Valko and has sworn against falling in love, so as to avoid that pain; the animals are her everything. She is the most likely to take over her father's job.
NPC
Name: Farrah
Race: Drykas
Date of Birth: 15th Fall 494 AV
Place of Birth: Endrykas
Title/Job: Future Ankal
Skills: Webbing (25), Animal Husbandry (15)
History: Farrah has his windmarks. As an adolescent, Beka chose to name Farrah as the future Ankal and has since been training him. Farrah’s goal is to learn how to be a good Ankal and to find a wife to bear him children for the future of the Pavilion.
NPC
Name: Salva
Race: Drykas
Date of Birth: 20th Winter 496 AV
Place of Birth: Endrykas
Title/Job: Pavilion Record Keeper
Skills: Weaving (20), Cooking (10), Calligraphy (10)
History: Salva does not have his windmarks. Though dedicated to his Pavilion, Salva is not really cut out for life as a Drykas. Too many times as he grew up was he in an accident and almost killed. His devotion to the Gods is largely down to the fact that he is still alive, and he thanks them for each day he survives. Not wanting to lose him, the Ankal gave him a job that meant he stayed within the tent most of the time. The least adventurous of his siblings, he is often in awe of their tales.
NPC
Name: Caleb
Race: Drykas
Date of Birth: 1st Spring 495 AV
Place of Birth: Endrykas
Title/Job: Animal Handler (Horses especially)
Skills: Animal Husbandry (35), Horsemanship (15)
History: Caleb is the older twin to Liam. Caleb is the quietest of his siblings and so is rarely noticed, happy to get on with his job in the background. He bonded to his Strider and gained windmarks as a child and is most comfortable around horses of all animals. The horses of the Pavilion all trust him completely.
NPC
Name: Liam
Race: Drykas
Date of Birth: 1st Spring 495 AV
Place of Birth: Endrykas
Title/Job: Hunter
Skills: Tracking (10), Trapping (30), Hunting (25), Wilderness Survival (10)
History: Liam does not have his windmarks. Liam is the younger twin to Caleb. He is the more outgoing of the pair and the main hunter/gatherer for the Pavilion.
NPC
Name: Carla
Race: Drykas
Date of Birth: 10th Spring 468 AV
Place of Birth: Endrykas
Title/Job: Animal Handler
Skills: Animal Husbandry (30), Teaching (20), Cooking (3), Weaving (3), Hunting (3), Weapon Skills: Longbow (3)
History: Carla has her windmarks. Carla married into the Firetongue Pavilion and is the highest ranked woman within it due to the Ankal having no wife and her second youngest son being chosen as the future Ankal. Since joining them her time has been split between helping with the animals and raising all of her husband’s children. Now that her children are all grown she is looking into other hobbies to figure out whether there’s something she wants to do for herself.
