I am a woman. A free woman.
My name is Kyrielle, Lady Kyrielle to be precise.
My Caste is Scribe.
My Home Stone is Ven'dara.
*
My homes:
Voltai Mountains
East of the Thassa, west of the winds .... there, at the headwaters of the Upper Fayeen river, are my lands, my home where I was born. My property an exact 100 pasang square, extending well past the foothills to the Voltai mountains peaks.
My property is a working farm. For such an arid land, I am fortunate enough to have a consistent water source and good soil. I grow everything from fruits and vegetables to wine and eating grapes. When not tending seasonal matters and my duties as Scribe, I enjoy the soothing pastime of weaving, byssus specifically. I gather it every two years from the mighty Thassa, wash, spin, and weave it into cloth on a full size loom I'd purchased from Perrin , Chieftan of the Alars.
Vendara
.My very first purchase, when settling in to Ven'dara as a newcomer was a vineyard and winery. I found it quite by accident and quickly discovered it had been abandoned for years, left to ruin and nature's whims. I tidied it up ( I'm a woman, it's what we do, tidy things up), tended vines that desperately needed some sense of order and learned, along the way, how to make wine. All the vines are now, once again, very robust and producing. I planted more......varieties as time went on. The vineyard came with a winery and connecting small home. That too I fully refurbished and it is now quite lovely and comfy. I should know, I lived there for quite some time.
Both the vineyard and winery are completely off limits to visitors without my accompanyment. Guards will be delivering an arrow to the heart of any and all trespassers.They never give second chances. Neither do I. Trespassing is trespassing no matter how you color it.
The years slipped by, I decided Scribe would be my Caste. I fully completed my apprenticeship to Scribe under the ruthless hands of Talarius and Aneesha. And I am grateful for that. I was then elevated to Caste. One day I noticed the original Scribe home facing Javlyyn park could be purchased. And so I did. It was and remains quietly elegant, well loved and cared for. I had very little to do except dust and pick up a child's toy, here and there, left behind as children often do, and furnish it.
The study is spacious and suits my needs for visitors who trust me to swiftly resolve their issues. I never disappoint.
Ven'darains never have to pay for my services as Scribe.
Those who are non citizens? My fee starts at one silver tarsk. Up front.

It is said the quill is mightier than the sword. I have both.
Weapons:
Quills
My quills nest comfortably in my hair. Each one makes for a lovely hair accent when not in use. Placed together they present a lovely work of art.
Sword
A silver Koftgari hilted bidi sword, 32 inches in total, the blade length 26 inches, was crafted for me a long time ago. The only difference between my sword and those who wield various other kinds and designs is that mine is much lighter weight and very feminine. Cartouches are etched on both sides of the blade. A silver scabbard envelopes the blade, and there it rests, resting snuggly down the center of my back.

The Sisters of Benevolet Mayhem:
AuRorah and I are the founding members of "The Sisters of Benevolent Mayhem". Aneesha joined us some years later, and when she did, she brought her priceless talent for dance. Of the free woman kind.

Time has passed .
Once flourishing Great Halls now are empty,
only echoes of silence greet the soft song of my footfalls.

Home
I am content
walking on in the Voltai's & the beautiful city of Ven'dara ...
able enough
to continue their long and justifiable proud legacy.
Strong enough
even if means I will always walk them alone
until the last of my days are done.
The end.........
Amen.
