Stigma the Seeker

Stigma is a former nomad, now a scribe and citizen of Hearthstone Yuldai.

Past
Stigma was born and raised in the Syltor wilderness during the Reimagination Period. His mother, Lyva'Akar, was of the Caeda race, and he knows nothing of his father. Despite a meagre living in the woodlands, hunting and fishing, Lyva went through the trouble to teach her son reading and writing. In January of the Current Era, Lyva succumbed to illness and passed away. Leaving Stigma to find his own place in Rathnir.

Travels
"'GAH! OCEAN AGAIN! WHAT THE HELL!?!' - StigmaB10k, January 20 CE"Setting off from the home of his birth, Stigma wandered far and wide. Hearing bits and pieces from lone travelers about world events, and remembering some of his mother's recollections, he decided to head to Haven in the south. Upon stumbling into the Ummarnu Mesa, he panicked. He had heard rumor of the war between Uldarash and Bardonia over stolen gold and didn't want to be mistaken as an illegal miner. He ended up latching onto a nearby "wilding wind" and was teleported elsewhere. He "wilded" to many places during his travels. He teleported into the middle of the ocean several times, and ended up lost in the Nether twice! It was in the Nether, and at other points during the journey-that-was-much-much-longer-than-it-needed-to-be, when Stigma encountered numerous Spirits. He maintains that the two more prominent and helpful ones were Aysh and Maiyeem (Spirits of Fire and Water respectively) and that he would've never found sanctuary without their aid.

Sanctuary
"'I'm looking for... well... sanctuary. Can I join your city?' - StigmaB10k"On January 22 of the Current Era, Stigma finally found the city of Sanctuary. He was welcomed into the city during the grand reopening of the Lion's Tavern and has since become a sworn citizen of Sanctuary and Uldarash.

Seeker of Knowledge
Stigma prides himself on being a "seeker of knowledge," especially in regards to the Spirits of Rathnir. To this end, he has spent much time observing, meditating and scribing. A side effect of this (intentional or not) is Stigma becoming the primary advocate of the Spirits Aysh and Maiyeem. As such, he is also the First Adherent of the Aysh-Maiyeem Faith.

Hearthstone Union
"'Patience, we still need information. Wait until the next announcement.' -Stigma""'From who?' -'wingsauce'""'Either our Queen, the Crown Prince or... *sigh* Lady Joan.' -Stigma""'Where?' -'wingsauce'""'IN THE ANNOUNCEMENTS YOU DOLT!' -Stigma"On 22nd of March, the Second Empire of Uldarash peacefully disbanded. While more than a few were concerned, Stigma included, most moved on quickly enough. As a citizen of Sanctuary, Stigma eagerly accepted the union of Sanctuary and Boulderov into the Hearthstone Union."'Tallash ce Nadarheti, Numati ce Ayasha' ~ Strength of Stone, Hearts of Fire"During this time, Stigma woke up one day to notice some of his hair turning pale green. Conversations with Mel Ren'Ari va Caeda (NattyNuke) made him realize that the change was simply an effect of his Caeda heritage (most likely Human and Keita).

Stigma, in addition to his pursuit of spiritual knowledge, has also contributed to literary arts in a small capacity. In his association with the Caeda and those of Anoshphey, Stigma has dabbled in poetry written in Anoshphite and spoken in both the former and in Caedan.
