Sevos Zehros-Rezuraia

Sevos Zehros-Rezuraia is native to Norstaeyya, and a member of the Rezuraian noble house. He is a part-time entertainer, and for a short time he ran a small brewery with Ethyris Dardellan-Lochatlan, however the business would abruptly end during the Anglunian Civil War.

Early Years
Sevos Zehros-Rezuraia was born in Rezuraia on Spring 154. He lived with his parents for a majority of his childhood, in which he showed great interest in the festivals that would be occasionally held, and a lute that was given to him by his father. Eventually he would move out and into Norstaeyya at the age of 21.

Adulthood
With the assistance of his father's funds, he managed to buy a lovely two-story house in Norstaeyya. Days later he hears commotion, and what appears to be a gathering of sorts at the nearby church. Assuming it's a festival and thinking it could be a great way to meet some of the locals, he decides to swiftly brew up two bottles of brandy. Upon arrival, he immediately notices the Yirsi teen, Ethyris.

Sevos later offered to teach Ethyris how to brew his own brandy. Undeterred by their rival noble houses, Ethyris accepted, and moved in with Sevos so that he could brew full-time and devote himself to his religious studies. In only a few years, Sevos was surpassed by Ethyris in bartending, and the two decided to open a tavern together.

Anglunian Civil War
When the Civil War between House Nuwan and House Rezuraia broke out, the friendship between Sevos and Ethyris was initially unaffected. When plans of a Rezuraian attack on Norstaeyya reached Sevos, however, he decided to withhold the information from Ethyris. He felt his loyalty was being torn between his friend and his family, so he decided to do nothing.

When the raid finally came, Sevos was strumming his lute on the front porch, and Formula Eldham was hosting a race nearby. When Sevos saw the fleet of soldiers riding upon their stallions, approaching the house, he knew what was to come. He immediately stopped everything to run back inside, rushing downstairs to frantically tell Ethyris that a raid is happening in Norstaeyya. The two rushed out of the home, sprinting as fast as they could to outrun the soldiers. They stumble upon a dock, and without much time to think, the two hop in and start rowing into the ocean, with hardly anything on them.

Stranded at Sea
Sevos and Ethyris were fed from the river into the Norstaeyyan Sea, where the currents kept them stranded for nearly one full year. While afloat, their only possessions were the religious scriptures Ethyris carried on him, and the lute which Sevos was playing before the raid.

For the first weeks, Ethyris and Sevos kept spirits high and bonded over the situation. As time passed, however, they grew to detest one another, as their clashing personalities became exacerbated by the isolation. Ethyris would sprawl out and rock the boat in dramatic demonstrations of prayer, which sometimes threw Sevos overboard, and Sevos would play his lute and sing loudly during the night and wake Ethyris.

When playing rock-paper-scissors to determine who had to dive for fish, Sevos would win more often, prompting Ethyris to accuse him of cheating. These sometimes escalated into physical fights, one of which ended in Sevos tearing up Ethyris's scriptures. When Ethyris tried to retaliate by breaking Sevos's lute, Sevos hit him in the head with it and sent him into a two month-long coma. Horrified by his actions, Sevos spent the next two months diligently feeding and washing Ethyris, occasionally even sacrificing his own meals to keep Ethyris alive.
