Zendar Peonycah

== The Origin of Zendar: ==
Zendar Peonycah was born into a family of 9 children and two parents. I was the 7th child of his mother and father.
My father was Hymarch Peonycah, a merchant, a fisher, and most importantly, a father. Hymarch was my idol growing up. He taught me everything I needed to know about the world. He taught me how to sow the fields. He taught me how to make a fishing pole. He taught me how to be a good person. My father was the best man I have ever known. 
My mother was named Julianis. Julianis was from a small farm on the outskirts of a now abandoned village. Her father valued her very much as she was his only daughter. She has brown hair and the most lovely green eyes anyone has ever seen. My mother was sheltered as a young girl and my father sought to bring her to the world, show her off to the lands she has never seen before. 
Julianis and Hymarch went about on the seas around the world of Kylorne in search of a homestead. A place where they could simply live how they see fit. As many moons and many suns passed overhead, they had become accustomed to the seas. They never told me of the hardships they faced at sea, but what they did tell me was a story. Whether it is fantasy or not, I can’t say. The story went a little something like this.
As Hymarch was keeping his eyes peeled, looking for land to settle on the coast, Julianis slept. They switched shifts. Hymarch always worked a little more than Julianis because she was not used to the work. She was sheltered of course, but Hymarch didn’t mind. He loved her too much to care. Anyways, he was keeping watch over the seas and the boat making sure nothing out of the ordinary would happen. However, that day as he was watching, he said he swore he saw a mermaid. Like the ones out of the childrens’ stories. He said it flashed behind a rock in the ocean and disappeared. He was baffled, but thought nothing of it. It could have been an issue with staring at the ocean too long, or maybe he was a tad dehydrated. Either way he took a drink out of his waterskin. When time came to switch, he went to the quarters to wake up his newly beloved, Julianis, my mother. He told her the story of the mermaid and she did not believe him of course. It was stupid. Mermaids aren’t real she said and they laughed it off. She thought he was trying to cheer her up before she went on watch for the night. Well, she saw it too. An hour into her shift, she saw a creature with long, black hair, a human face, human torso, and a porpoise lower half smile and wave. As the wind wasn’t blowing very hard, the boat wasn’t moving very quickly. Well, according to my father, the screams of my mother were so loud, she would have woken up a whale! He startled up and ran onto the deck. There he ran to see what the commotion was about and he saw my mother starting at the ocean and pointing. There he saw it too. A woman with a human torso, but a porpoise lower body. She waved at both of them, but they did not wave back. They had always heard stories of mermaids, but now they had experienced it themselves. A mermaid, staring at them. Well, as the story goes, the mermaid introduced itself as Harjiel. She called herself an Angel of the Deep. She told them to follow her and that she will just use the wind to push them to the shore. Harjiel took them to the place where I was born. Harjiel left my parents with a single pearl and left. Now, we have a farmstead named after this “Angel of the Deep”. Harjield, my home.
That is the story all of us kids heard. We took it to heart and everyday, we played at the shore looking for this angel of the deep. Well, as I turned 20, my father fell ill in the winter. My mother quickly followed suit. By the end of the season, both had fallen to disease. My family had left the farmstead. They all left, one at a time. I eventually was the last one left home, left at Harjield. There I will continue to live, hoping to one day get insight to this story I heard as a child. I want to meet this Angel of the Deep. I want to meet the one that guided my parents to a happy life.
== Zendar's Intentions ==
Zendar plans on building a small community out of the land that he was born on. His mother and father were chosen to live on this land, so why shouldn't he continue their legacy. Maybe if he gains population, one day he will be deemed worthy to see this "Angel of the Deep".
