Family and Mentors

Harbeck Fabergé

Harbeck Fabergé: This Jinnborn artisan was a long-time friend of Eabrossi’s family, frequently turning the treasures they found into fine pieces of art that are believed to be valued all over the world.  A friendly and curious fellow, Harbeck is well known for his singular focus when working on his next great piece of art.  When tragedy struck Eabrossi’s parents, leaving Eabrossi an orphan, Harbeck took him in, expanding his education and appreciation for a variety of cultures, languages, and art forms.  Eabrossi’s parents passed away from a strange disease they contracted on one of their treasure hunts. Harbeck always carried a guilt from their deaths, wondering if his friends passed away due to his obsessions.  Harbeck is very close with Eabrossi, counseling and caring for him to this day.

Amaltena

Amaltena: Tena’s mother is the only parent she ever knew.  Whenever Tena asked her mother about her father, her reply was always, “he is in the clouds.”  During Tena’s childhood she imagined her father with the ancient giants of old, having taken to the skies and doing something important. Amaltena was always controversial from her faith in the old god Agamotto to her never taking a mate, Amaltena lived her own life and raised her daughter to question everything.  Amaltena was never prouder of her daughter then when her faithful call to Agamotto was answered and Tena's divine powers were realized.  The two frequently squabble but are quite close.  Amaltena now resides in the dome studying a variety of religions and indulging in her passion for unique foods and recipes.  

Bhishma: Zaigan’s wingless uncle raised his nephew from his fifth birthday until his recent death. Bhishma was bonded to Sanguine Saxo the wife of the king and the preeminent wizard of Mithras, training his young nephew to succeed him in The Order of the Staff.  Zaigan’s early memories revolve around the various games they would play together that were the building blocks for his samurai training.  Zaigan and his Uncle shared a common bond of being the promised first born sons from the Kuru Kingdom.  Zaigan would be the seventh and final generation of first born promised to serve as bonded samurai after the Kuru Kingdom was repelled by the army of giants now known as The Undefeated.  Upon Zaigan’s maturity their relationship suffered under the chafing of youth; student, and teacher.  In the final weeks of Bhishma’s life he was frequently agitated, sending and receiving messages from his far east homeland.  Zaigan’s last memory of his uncle is a good one, as he remembers his uncle taking Zaigan and Aevum fishing.

Bhishma

Notella Brightbody: The gentle minotaur giant Notella Brightbody rescued the ogreborn child Kron Longscar during a battle the Howlers were having with a strange group of ogres and trolls.  Kron was born on the battlefield to a fallen ogre woman.  Kron stole Notella’s heart when the minotaur found the ogre child being protected by three of the Howlers dire wolves, who despite not being domesticated, had been completely calmed by the baby ogre.  From that day forward, Notella and his wife Iaska raised the ogre child as their own teaching him the Duskhearth clan’s appreciation for the Rift.  While Kron always had an appreciation for battle, he never showed the cruelty so often associated with ogres. Both Notella and Kron share a love for ribald humor, food, and the great outdoors.
