Evarn Valcove

Evarn is a citizen of the Kingdom of Ahalia and founder of the Valcove Fishing & Trading Company. He is a merchant who lives in the city of Rochdale.

Early Life
Evarn Valcove was born in the nation of Ahalia, in the merchant city of Rochdale. the son of a well known merchant, he was expected to live the life of a merchant. In his childhood he was secluded from the rest of the world, locked inside his father's mansion. He would spend his time staring out at the bypassers and the ocean. He then decided he didn't want to be a merchant, but an explorer of the seas.

After he turned 16, he left his father's mansion, vowing not to come back until he had fulfilled his dream. Evarn, along with a crew loyal to him, left aboard the Havalr. He journeyed across Eldham, from the lands of Yuvaria, to the far reaches of Ravengaurd.

The Probatio Glaciei
On a voyage towards Sethris, Evarn noticed a small island to the north of the ship. He ordered the crew to set course to the island, but the crew responded with "What island?". Confused, he just ordered the crew to set sail directly north. When the ship drew nearer to the island, the air around the ship started to freeze. Once barely of the coast of the island, he ordered the crew to drop the anchor. They did so, he ordered them to get below deck, but when he turned back around, he noticed everybody had stopped moving. He felt one of their hands and noticed they were cold to the touch. He heard a faint voice, something that faintly sounded like a spirit. It said "Only the chosen may enter the island of Probatio. Hearing this, Evarn disembarked the ship and went onto the island. There were 3 gates, each having a different word of an ancient language that he assumed had been lost to time. One gate, had the word "Glaciei" engraved onto it, with sapphire crystals growing out of the corners, while another had the word "Ignis" engraved onto it, with crimson crystals growing out the corners of that one. The 3rd gate had the word "aeris" engraved onto it, with emerald crystals growing out of its corners.

"You shall guide yourself to the gate befitting you" the spirit announced. Evarn looked at the 3 gates and thought, what was it like on the ship? This revealed something to Evarn, and he choose to the gate "Glaciei". After entering the gate, he turned around, noticing that instead of the island, there was now only water. He contined along the path until another gate saying "Iudicium tres frigiditatem". The spirit voice once again reached out to him, "There are some situations where you must lock your emotions away, pass this trial to leave." it explained. A realistic image of Evarn's mother, Eliana Valcove, appeared. Then another 2 appeared. His mother walked up to the 2, and killed them. This horrified Evarn, and he stuttered back in disgust, but then 3 people appeared. Once again his mother approached them, and killed them. Then it was 4 people, then 5, then 6. Evarn was disgusted by this, and after overcoming the initial shock, he drew his sword, vowing that even if she is his mother, he can not allow this. He charged his mother, closing his eyes so he doesn't see his mother die, and sliced her. But nothing happened. He reopened his eyes, revealing him to be in a chamber of the Sapphire crystals from the original gate. "Welcome, Evarn, you have passed the trial so many before you have failed". The spirit voice said suddenly. Evarn noticed a sword, stuck into the ground so it is standing up in the middle of the floor. "Pick me up, and wield me" the voice ordered. At that point, you felt a breeze of cold air rush towards the sword. You pulled the sword out of the group and raised it up high. Suddenly there is a flash, and you fall unconscious.

You awake in your bed. You wonder "Was that a dream, or was it real?" You look around, and in the corner of the cabin you see it, the sword in your dream. You think to yourself "Should I try to talk to it?", but before you get the chance, you the voice "Hello, Master" in your head. "H...hello?" you respond, "I am Pernicies Glaciei, and I am here to serve you" the sword says. "Can... we agree to talk minimally? I'd rather not have a voice inside my head" Evarn asked, "fine" the sword replied.

The Qadakh tragedy
On a voyage to the free city of Qadakh, the Havalr was raided by pirates. Although the crew were able to hold the majority of the pirates off, Evarn was injured. About to be killed by the pirate, his close friend and bodygaurd, Shimo, jumped in front of the strike, taking the fatal strike full force along his chest. Evarn pierced the pirate through the chest, then immediately rushed over to Shimo. He begged for Shimo not to go, knowing inside it wouldn't do anything. Shimo smiled and looked at Evarn, saying "You've grown so much from when we left... I am proud... of you...", After which he died on the spot. Evarn grabbed him tightly and and started crying. A moment of silence went across the ship, the crew all mourning the loss of Shimo.

Shiru, a close relative of Shimo, and the man who taught Evarn how to fight and sail, put his hand on Evarn's shoulder, stating that they should get to Qadakh quickly and inform the coast gaurd of the incident. Evarn was buried in grief over the loss of his friend, and as such, Shiru had to take over for the remainder of the voyage. After reaching the free city and informing the coast gaurd, the crew had a memorial for the fallen soldier, sailer and friend. After which, Evarn finally decided that it was time to return to Ahalia.

Returning Home
On the journey home to Ahalia, Evarn locked himself in his cabin. Shiru captained the ship in Evarn's absence. One day, however, Shiru entered the cabin and walked up to the distressed young sailer. He said to Evarn, "Shimo wouldn't have wanted us to grieve over his passing, but to celebrate in him living, Shiru then left the cabin. Evarn let this ponder in his brain for a few hours.

A few hours had passed when Evarn emerged how his cabin, he looked at Shiru and said "Thank you", he then turned to the crew and said "Thank you, for dealing with me for these past 2 years. I vow from now on, I shall work towards forming a world that doesn't have to deal with the pain of losing somebody, but if I am to do this, I will need your help. Please help me, just one more time." The crew cheered, which brought a spark of joy to Evarn.

After returning to Rochdale, he informed his family that he had returned and what had happened during his absence. He then went on to fom the Valcove Fishing & Trading Company, in hopes of serving his country. He still trained with his sword, one day hoping to unlock the ancient abilties locked inside of it.
