Mental characteristics
Tabishka was born and has lived in the High City of Amin Duum for xir whole life. Xe studied under the Scholar Class programme at the Amin Duum Academy, learning several languages but specialising in
Taish Capillai and other written languages from
The Rending War. Xe became particularly interested in the different ways that stories surrounding the Ashcanesh and
The Rending are told. In xir early scholarship, xe worked on myths surrounding the existence of
The Bone Moth, an artefact believed to contain the consciousness of
Tallat, the individual believed to be responsible for the Rending and its activation at
Cir Nacayjil.
History
Ameritt and Tabishka were in neighbouring cohorts on the same level, both Scholar Class and specialising in archaeology once they had completed their graduate training. They became close as they worked on group projects and were both inspired by the historical material in their Dura.
They worked together on joint projects around the march of the The One Hundred Thousand. Ameritt specialised in ancient languages, attempting to improve knowledge of the Basati language as a means to deepen understanding of the build up to the end of The Gap War.
Ameritt developed a theory based on his research into surviving book-keeping records that Tallat was a real person and not a mythological construction of the One Hundred Thousand. Tabishka, on the other hand, had been studying the spread of mythological ideas from the Hundred Thousand over the early years of the Ashcanesh, so took the opposite view. The basis of their relationship was a constant argument over whether or not Tallat was a real person and if her existence was provable.
