Basil Follen

Basil Follen is a commoner currently residing in Farmington a city in the Aellonsyrdom of Lutum a part of the nation of Anglunia.

Basil appears shy at first but aren't above the occasional dry quip. They have an insistent need to prove themself to be useful which can be mistaken for ambition but more to be seen as not a burden. They are fiercely loyal to Lutum for taking them under their wing.

Early life
Basil was born in a tiny town on the coast of the continent of Haven of Rathnir. As a child he never got to meet his parents according to their aunt and primary caregiver at the time his father died shortly after he was born and his mother heartbroken left him in her care. Basil and his aunt's relationship was distant at best and cold on bad days. The fact that she saw his hybrid feature and eye more as defects only soured her feelings toward him. He was a mouth to feed that she had never wanted.

After an incident where Basil overheard his aunt refer to him as a burden they were overwhelmed and ran away from home at the age of 12. They went crawling back to the place they ever knew by the end of the second week.When they entered their small cottage there were no relieved tears not even a scolding. Just a cold glance and a clinical acknowledgement they were back. Basil left the next week for good. They stowed away on a merchant's ship and unbeknownst to them to Eldham.

After getting chased off by the merchants they wandered the lands taking odd jobs that would tide them over to the next day. They drifted from settlement to settlement gaining knowledge as they went. Life was hard but they were free. That was until they found themself in a country that was less than accepting of people of their kind. Basil was hunted for weeks. They were semi feral when they finally collapsed among the orange dunes.

Life in Lutum
It was the summer of 214 TE when Basil received full citizenship and was settled in Farmington. They quickly got to work in improving the infrastructure using the skills they had collected during their wandering days.
