Orwa Sinawis

Orwa Sinawis is a diplomat and ambassador from the Aurlûnor Velande that was first mentioned in The Lands of Yuandong. She was one of the few court officials to be born from a common birth, and became one of the most prominent diplomats in the history of the Velande. At the age of 35, she would become the youngest court official in the history of the Empire.

Early Life
Orwa Sinawis was born in 896ACA to a secluded hermit family that was located west of modern day Quácomar. Her father, Pallon was a peddler who went to the village down the mountainside every day for food, while her mother, Ormenis served as a local scholar, teacher and a Priestess. Orwa was the daughter of seven other sisters, each of them having their own wide varies of talent, and intelligence. Orwa herself was the fourth eldest of the siblings, but she was said to have been the most unique of the seven. Unlike her siblings, who focused on one particular subject in terms of literacy and intellect, Orwa mastered multiple fields, including military's strategy, the classics of the Five Principles, as well as multiple Almadorian literacy pieces, and was keenly fond of ancient Almadorian manuscripts and the study of the Old Almadorian language. She would become proficient in multiple languages as she grew older, and when she was 24, she was said to have mastered four languages, including Aurlûnoren.

Although she was of common birth, Orwa was lucky to have a mother that knew how to read and write due to her position at the Temple nearby. She would get by with her siblings, and was said to be calm and patient, never getting into fights and always avoiding confrontation with her calm, soothing voice. At one point, her sister, Paraca and Ormen, argued over the legitimacy of a famous hero named Xian the Bold, in which tactics he used, and how he treated his prisoners. Orwa would step in, and say "Each man has their own side of the story. To know what he did is wise, but to understand what he did, and view from unbias prespective, is that of a sage." These words would move the two, and would end them from nearly beating eachother up.

In Service of the Velande
Orwa's talents would eventually reach the ears of the Velereth, Sareariel Lelya-Earcala, where she would become quite interested in the young elven woman who was making a name for herself in the arts of literature and military tactics.
