(51 Felar Asn) (BATTLE) Sehvoor the Whisper of Heritage, General of War



The web of face chains and what it means:

He is from a very old village. The village only exists because of it’s War
College. Local legend sais that the greatest generals in many armies of the
Empress of Seantryn have been graduates...but the veracity of that claim is
not known. What is fact, is that it is a place that the wealthy send their
children if they are going to be leading troops. Every other year, all of
the children of all races in the surrounding villages and towns who were
entering adulthood would enter a battle-royale type contest, the winner
gaining entrance to the College under the patronage of some Lord or Baron.
Sehvoor lied about his age and entered three years early....and won.

He advanced quickly in his studies, as fast as any student in memory, and
graduated as the youngest to “earn the web” that anyone remembers. As far as
the military history instructors at the college can tell, the silenced
veil-web of chains that only those who graduate with honors from the War
College are allowed to wear is a relic of an ancient head-gear worn in times
forgotten by the most cunning of war-lords. Nowadays, while there are a few
graduates with Honors out in the world, the actual wearing of the face chains
has fallen into misuse over the past few centuries.

Why he wears it, and why he will never tell another soul why:

He wears his chains always to remind himself of his lessons and all that he
learned, so that he will never forget and by forgetting cause the deaths of
his comrades, But...he will never tell anyone what the chains mean apart from
a nebulous...”Warriors where I am from sometimes earn them.”
His reasons for that are twofold. One, he would rather have his enemies never
know how much he knows, and two, he would rather have his allies look upon
him based solely upon his actions, not upon his knowledge gained in a school.

Tapping on his fangs:
Ways of showing respect, or annoyance where he comes from, many meanings can
be portrayed by which fang he taps, how many times, and in what context.

Tapping the right fang is the positive, meaning assent, acknowledgment of
truth/accuracy, and agreement. One tap is usually reserved as a kind of
salute, while three is usually used to convey the strongest of agreement.

Tapping the left fang is the negative, meaning disagreement, dissatisfaction,
or annoyance.
One tap conveys minor annoyance...like that a teacher shows to a particularly
slow pupil, while more taps convey stronger emotions.

What brought him to where he is today:

He left his homeland wanting to make a name for himself. He wanted to prove
to himself by his actions through his life that he actually did “earn the
web”. When he applied for a place in the Village, he was given a long task
by the Commander, Loborguz. The task could not have fit his particular
skills better, however, as it was to show through a number of scrolls just
what kind of mind he had for Military strategy. He took his time with the
task, wanting to show his worth to the Village. It was during this time that
the Burning of the Dwarf forest began. The Chanter Nerylana called upon him
and he went without hesitation into a roaring fire and worked long and hard
building the earthwork berm that would work as the fire’s eastern border so
as not to burn the entire forest down.

He was half way through his scrolls of strategy when Nerylana, now Commander
alongside Loborguz, found him worthy of a hut and inducted him into the
Village. He did not build himself a hut however, always finding a corner to
sleep in when he had to sleep until he deemed himself to have earned a hut.
During discussions with the Village, he made himself remain quiet and
subdued, wanting his fellow kinsman to remember him for his actions in war,
instead of words.

He believes that his knowledge of war and his ability in combat were noticed,
and he was given the rank of General within the Village and then built his
hut. This accomplishment means more to him than any he has so far achieved,
and he will throw all of his faculties into working to make sure that he does
not let down those who have put trust in him.
