Kali Rochelle-Orne'Valerin

Kali Rochelle-Orne'Valerin of Mãe'taí is a scholar first and foremost, dedicating her life to studying religion, history, and magic. Her deep focus and resolve over the years has netted her a variety of titles, religious and political. Her days are typically spent in libraries scattered around Alteniquia, speaking with fellow scholars, priests, and politicians whenever she has not engulfed herself in her studies.

The Mãe'taí
The Mãe'taí, one of many wandering Seraansara clans in Syltör that fled from the armies of Almador, after the fall of the Kingdom of Olarã. The Mãe'taí were founded by scholars from the legendary Asitir temple of Kaliné known as the Asitunmãe, these founders ensured that the unique culture and wealth of knowledge of Olarã would never be lost, passing it down generations to this very day. The clan has since maintained its safety from outside threats through an ancient form of Seraani witchcraft that specializes in runes which are tattooed, carved, and/or painted onto one's flesh.

In the current day, the clan wanders aimlessly, collecting information of all types in all forms while enthusiastically assisting outsiders with anything in any way. Although almost the entirety of their knowledge is sealed from outsiders, requiring one to prove themself before receiving even the most innocuous of information.

Family & Upbringing
Kali was born and raised in the Mãe'taí clan, alongside her elder sister. Her father was a respected scholar, her mother an admirable and valiant warrior. Her parents had placed lofty expectations upon Kali from a very young age, which pushed her to take every moment of her life as a chance to learn and improve.

Prisma
While in Prisma, Kali earned her keep with the construction of transport and military infrastructure, cultivating a substantial garden around one of the oldest trees in the mountain range. In her own time she studied the latent magical energy stored by the Holy Mountain of Prisma. Kali eventually concluded that the magic was a result of remnants left by each of the thousands of rituals that had been cast on its peak, but a level of uncertainty lingered in her mind. To this day she would return to the peak to investigate further, or use it's energy to enhance rituals of hers.

When Prisma declared itself independent Kali packed her things and left, wishing to have no part in a rebellion that would surely fail.

Jirn
Kali traveled south from Prisma, arriving at the metropolis that is the city of Jirn. In all her travels she had never seen a city harboring such a vast amount of trade of both cultures and goods, it fascinated and rejuvenated her. Kali settled into Jirn, taking things slow at first but eventually plunging herself into the studies of the cultures around her.

To this day, she spends a significant amount of her time in Jirn, but often for the lack of a project elsewhere.

Kali has transcribed several books found in the libraries of Lirgal to digital format.
