Yoahan Veser

Yoahan Veser (Also Joahan Vesser, Johann Wasser) was a Brankonyan adventurer, painter, and minor nobleman who lived from 330 until 382 (Vechtese Calendar). His works are prized as collectors pieces by the nobility of Juhnvechteya. 
== Early Life ==
Veser was born in Schloss Fersig, about 15 kilometers outside of Nonrebaurg, to Yahanez and Irene Veser. He would spend his formative years at the court of Fersig, learning the art of chivalry and estate management. At the age of 14, he was apprenticed to Master Heans, a painter in Nonrebaurg, where he would study philosophy, music, religion, and of course, painting. His apprenticeship would be completed when he was 23, and he would become a journeyman. 
== Journeyman and Travels ==
As a journeyman painter, he traveled across Juhnvechteya, to paint portraits and landscapes on the commission of wealthy burghers and nobility. His travels would take him across the region, and during that time, he would find love of adventuring and the wilderness, and would spend much time outside. He would be captured by bandits when he was 26, though he would escape, and continue his travels. 
He traveled such vast distances and diverse locations as Derlanya in the west, Esosfalu in the south, and Cinelli in the north, thus, his paintings can be found across Juhnvechteya.
== Later Life, Mastership, and Death ==
Veser would settle in Nordervesting in Tanderland, in 370. He would marry a woman named Jane Margete, and he would continue painting, often on commission for the Duke of Tanderland, setting up a studio near the town's square. He would be admitted into the Painters guild at Nordervesting in 380 as a master. He would die in the Great Plague of Juhnvechteya, in 382 of the Vechtese Calendar, aged 52.
== Works ==
Veser produced many works of art, most of them paintings on canvas, though some mosaics and sculptures were made. All paintings done by Veser are considered to be of the highest quality craftsmanship, and are highly sought after collectors items. A painting by him, A Raft on the River Torad, was sold recently to Count Feras of Arkibil-am-Torad, for 3000 Geldbilling, or about the cost of a small stone castle.
