Early Life in the Spire

When I was but an adolescent teen still, I was brought before the Captain to
pledge my service to the Spire. It was a little jarring at first but I'm glad
that others such as Friscko and Zelisha saw potential in me that even I
perhaps did not. It wasn't long afterward that the Provost, Atrael, brought
me on and handed me my badge. Having pledged my life to uphold justice, I
grabbed my things and boarded a ship for Seantryn Modan.

I spent many years in that city, becoming familiar with the royalty within
and the bustling streets, rife with begging, prostitution, and probably my
favorite bit of all, the seafood businesses there. The docks were busier than
I expected for a city so far away from everything, but I suppose when you've
got royalty around, they can afford to import the finer things in life.

My post in Seantryn was lonely, but I was used to the solitude. The other
patrolmen on duty in the city were not the nicest of folks, often looking the
other way on crime when the victim was of no importance. I suppose that's why
the Tribunal employs its own lawmen in the city, to pick up the slack when
needed.

For all the peace and quiet the city afforded, I still found opportunities
off-duty to meet with the other brave men and women of the Spire. It wasn't
long after doning my badge that I found a mentor in another. Zelisha Scynth
as she was known, who told me of her tragic backstory and the corruption she
saw within the Empire before leaving to be with those who actually cared
about justice. It reminded me a lot of what I saw in Seantryn Modan and we
bonded easily. She acted like a big sister to me, or at least what I imagine
a big sister would be like, as I grew up with no siblings. She's been there
for me when I was unsure of myself in my pursuit of justice and has guided my
hand on multiple occasions now. Thanks to her sticking her neck out for me,
the Provost saw fit to move my station to that of Voralian City, a stark
contrast to Seantryn Modan to say the least. I don't think I would have made
it this far without her.
