Life of Zharam Safina

Zharam Safina was born into a part of the Hunting Grounds few safe zones as a native of what she would later make into Fyey-Ahkeer-Byssium.

Veros wasted away in Safinas arms, passing in utter agony. He died from starvation, stress and illness from smoke and toxic miasma all compiled upon each other.

Hossvorn met Safina when she was hosting his mercenary group at the brothel, still reveling in the new year. He approached her, finding her a curious sight and bored due to a lack of interest in purchased nights, but his advances were met coldly. He's only intended to talk but she'd mistaken his interest for business and she'd only just started personal training, she wasn't offering her services yet. They met several times after and began a platonic relationship of teasing and ribbing. He also taught her self-defense and fighting skills.

Safina notices she's pregnant and informs Zamarkin (Hossvorn). After about a month of turmoil they calm down and start planning their course of action. Safina initially intended to induce a miscarriage but Zamarkin talked her out of it and they decide to run. Zamarkin calls in a favour from his close friend and fellow mercenary, Darriane Villmont, to fix up an old apartment from a town they'd passed through and puts together some money with him to support her through the initial months.

The first two of Zharam Safinas' children were her son, Iztrahm, and daughter, Azarah. They were born in the midst of winter while their mother hid alone in a cave system and their father, Zamarkin Lariddhu, worked his up in the world to return to and protect Safina and their children.

While they enjoyed the respite granted by accommodation the environment was dangerous and the situation was always meant to be temporary. Zamarkin and his friend leave to secure stable work and better, permanent accommodations for them, Darriane swearing to Safina to keep the idiot alive in the meanwhile. They make sure to send a letter every fortnight to keep her updated.

Desperate and alone with two children and no money, Safina has to make a difficult decision. In order to pay off her debts and freedom costs, locate her partner and protect her children, Safina sells herself to Duke Lydius Myredan.

Zeren was born between Safina and her lover Xanther Karron. Unusually, just like their mother, Zeren was a single born and had no siblings despite their people pre-disposition to twins and triplets. More unusual was that they were intersex but they had no related physical ailments and their gender matched so they lived long and happily. Some liked to tease, not cruelly, that Zeren was a single born because they absorbed their sibling in the womb ten making them intersex, but this was just a strange joke meant to tease them and held no weight socially or physiologically.

The duke was murdered by his wife and concubines. The wife stabbed him with a dagger soaked in poison made by his concubines. He was a cruel and cold man even to his partners so none mourned him. Zharam Safina offered asylum to the women involved should they desire it. They didn't all accept it but most did, including the wife, and found a good life in Fyey-Ahkeer-Byssium.

Identical twin sisters, Venita and Vidanya were born from their mother, Safina, and her 2nd Husband Xanther Karron.
