Baran

REDEMPTIVE JOURNEY: Baran has grown up with his father and has traveled and learned how to trade, how to seek for things of value and how to connect with other people. His commitment to the ways of God are important to him and it is important to him to live according to his word and to keep himself undefiled by the 4moons elements or the moons themselves. He has things of much value that he keeps with him and he knows much about the world, but he is lonely. When he meets Paya who is younger and more naive in some ways, he is grateful and willing to pay her bridal price. Paya's family is deeply corrupt and evil but she does not know the extent of their depravity until Baran discovers it. Baran had covenanted with her father that he would stay only if they did not make him use their defiled things. He and Paya flee her family and head towards the Valley of Alpha Wolf which is a place that Paya remembers from her childhood. Baran has heard of it and is content to go to a place where he can live at peace with her away from people who would defile him. He wants the peace of living alone with her and of making a family together. Through the terrible revenge that her family takes on her when they find her, Baran's heart is filled with pain. Baran discovers the evil practice that the people of Scarlet have of sacrificing their children to the Felin (Giant Ice Cats who live in the caves near to where Baran lives). The religious leaders and the political leaders have tricked the people into giving their children to a system that oppresses them and nobody knows that the systen is fixed. Baran sets about to save as many of the children that he finds and his heart of compassion comes out as he rescues child after child.

Baran’s father Myj grew up in the northern part of Jaune, where his father took him on searches up and down the eastern coast of Jaune searching for rare resources that they could trade in Farah Bazaar as well as with travelers and caravans that they met on their journeys.

Baran’s father is Myj and his mother is Xani.

Myj grew up traveling as the sone of a mercenary so he knows many languages and his father taught him diplomacy and the sword. When he encountered Farah Bazaar and saw the value of trade, he turned aside from the violent lifestyle that his father had trained him in and began to gain interest in trading.

When he went one day into an establishment to trade some foodstuffs, he encountered Xani as she received the goods from him. They were smitten with each other. Myj had a bracelet that his father had given him from the plunder of one of the fishing villages of the north that had a big azure stone in it. Xani’s father noticed it. Myj had never thought of its value but when he began to frequent the shop and become friendly with Xani, her father took him in the back room roughly at first as if he were in trouble to show his strength. Then he told him that if he wanted to marry his daughter, that he must do two things, give him the bracelet for her dowry, and never return to Farah Bazaar again or he would be killed. His daughter was too beautiful for him to constantly be watching out for her and she clearly was not interested in the crimes that he was committing and it was getting frustrating to him, to have her around with her fine clothing and interests in music and theater and fine things.

Myj gladly agreed and they eloped that night, never to set foot in Farah Bazaar again.
