Full Name: Mintaka Elvenwood Gender: Female Age: 25 Eyes: Brown Hair: Black Birthplace: Elvenwood Birth Season: Autumn I remember well growing up in Elvenwood, the home to my family, detailed accounts from the various members have been transcribed in the family records, so I wont go too deep in this letter, but something that stands out, something that pushed me towards the path.. the life I now live, was my father Inzan. I remember we would sit and pray together, he would teach me how to fall away from the world into deeper meditations. This training stands with me today, aiding me in the long journey towards inner peace. I feel it is also important to mention the protector of our Elvenwood, Mnementh. A warrior of savage but noble nature, he did not come into our lives untill I reached adolescence, he was already older and world traveled. We both gave eachother a much needed boon, I gave him a restored view on life, and he gave me security in a world, that once out of Elvenwood, was very shaken. Now that my life had broadened, I began to focus more on what would happen in the future. Mnementh gave me instruction on warfare, in the time we were seperated he had gained renown within the clan Kurimja for being a master in the martial art of Tang Soo Do, he taught me all he knew of combat with spear, and stave, and through further training and effort I have gained the rank of Hana dan, and hold my first of three belts in the art. Using what I know of the Tang Soo Do, I am self learned in unarmed combat, and have recieved training with the rangers on how to shoot the bow and arrow, finally I became learned with the throwing axe by the sonhi. All my focus has not been martial of nature, instead I also studied under caramel, finding my way to the circle of the monks. From this training I pulled from the buddhist teachings, adding them to the faith taught to me while I grew up in Elvenwood, to develop a deeper source of faith and understanding of the world around me. To help center my mind I have also worked with wood crafting, becoming a recognized master of the craft. And now while I have talked much about simple achievments, I haven't touched on what has mattered to me the most. My family. Mnementh and I were wed 12 Hyul's ago, and have prospered as a couple. Every 5 Hyul's we renew our vows to one another under the gaze of our dear family and closest of friends. Every Hyul that passes draws us closer, sometimes through turmoil, sometimes through prosperity, but always and unerringly closer. Our crowning joy was the birth of our son, named after the grandfather of my husband, Quamanth. He was studious, and to the dismay of his father took my love of studying, and was soon learning to harness magic. He is currently off, forging his own life in the lands of Han. I have always tried to make my life, and the life of those around me prosperous, I have never sought mountains of gold, I have never sought miles of land, only to be content and happy within my circle of friends and family while still giving anything I can to those who may be in need, but not have the means that I have been blessed with. I pray all will find the same kind of joy I have found and will continue to find in my life. -Mintaka Elvenwood |
