My name is Aieshte Pasuria, which in the common tongue literally means 'wealth bringer'. The name comes from a tongue spoken long ago in a land to the northwest of the kingdom of Han. The surname derives from Pasuria -- Meaning 'bringer', more specifically, 'bringer to the masses', and my name is Aieshte, which literally translates to 'wealth' or 'worth' What is the history of your family, and how did it originate? The Pasuria name is descendent from northern migrants to the Han region who, over generations, followed the waterways to what is not the kindgom of koguryo. When they arrived, they settled on land very near a river, and at the curve of the river on their plot of land, a great mound of silver had been found. Hiding away the silver as they quarried, the Pasuria family acquired a small fortune underneath the floorboards of their modest home. Eventually, the father, Basthe, fell ill due to consumption, and the mother fell to grief. The family's hidden wealth passed on to their now orphaned teenaged son, Aeishte. Aiesthe traveled first to Buya where he learned the ways of the rogue and the ways of the market, wearing humble robes, for he knew the meaning of wealth, and it lay not in silk and embroidered finery. Aiesthe eventually adopted the nickname "Living" from a quip his childhood friends had made about how he didn't seem to look any different as he went from a mere babe to a young adult man. Aiesthe the Living, he was called. And so he used it, taking on the nickname and the humble title of merchant, and using it as a moniker to anonymously learn and live in the meager conditions he had grown to love. As he aged, he grew wealthy and felt worthy of the luxuries he had earned. He married and continues to work happily with the merchant guild and the enigma clan, and his wife, BeffyCabeza, works with the shaman and k'urimja clan, respectively. Our family values include: Enlightenment, Courage, Cunning, Strength under Adversity, Commitment to Family. I have experienced a wonderful life with my family members. I never revealed my family name for a long time, but I have had many friends who were far more than simple acquaintances. They were people who thought light me, possessed similar traits, and I don't believe I recognized the worth in this until I met my wife. Frankly, I feel we have an obligation to recognize my family name, if only to preserve the traditions for which we stand. Some of the best experiences I've had with my wife and with my loved ones have been ones during times fought with strife, when things were the worst and you needed your friends the most. These are moments, these are connections, that should not go unnoticed. My father's honor dictates that our family name recognize those like ourselves as one of us as a member of our family. Aeishte, or "Living", is the Patriarch of the family, taking up his father's mettle after settling in kugnae and deciding to formalize and extend our family. I was the only son of my father and mother, who, when I was seventeen, died suddenly quite close to one another. The money they had so tirelessly gathered did nothing to ease their passing, and so Living began to understand the real worth of material wealth -- or lack thereof, his perspective on life changed profoundly. Though he became wealthy in the terms of common men, and made his trade in the art of the coin, he had forever sought a further fulfillment. My experiences with my father and my mother are the formative experiences of my life. They are the inspiration for my wanting to create and extend this family and its values. My experiences with my wife are episodes of unparalleled loyalty and understanding, and I could not ask for a better companion with which to spread the message our family intends to spread. Living is the patriarch of the family tree, since his father passed.
