Lewyn Sevelle

Often described as the face of the varinos equality movement, Lewyn Sevelle was born into slavery in Veralla. While not yet an adult, Sevelle and her family fought their captors and escaped. Together they fled their captors in Veralla. Her parents were arrested a few days after arriving in the Imperial Capital for assaulting those who owned them. While awaiting trial, her parents were killed in their cells. With no family left, Lewyn was raised in an orphanage.
As the attitude towards varinos slavery shifted, Lewyn was able to attend a university in the Imperial Capital. She succeeded graduating first in her class, despite harassment from other attinos students. At her graduation, Lewyn gave a speech imploring her fellow graduates and faculty to fight with her against prejudices. A transcript of the speech was published in the university’s newspaper, and Sevelle quickly was ushered to the forefront of the fight for varinos rights.
As tensions between those that were pro-slaves and those that were against, Lewyn Sevelle was repeatedly asked to speak at rallies for equality. Three years after Sevelle’s graduation, the Silvera imperial family showed official support for the varinos rights movement, and sponsored a massive rally where Sevelle was asked to speak. Hundreds of thousands of people arrived in the Imperial City and heard Sevelle’s speech, a call to action. The rally shut down nearly the entire city. Attinos and varinos alike stood quietly in the streets, blocking traffic, and shutting down public services.
Eventually, the protest disbanded, and that evening, riots broke out. Control of the city was lost, and anarchy reigned for the night. In the state of emergency, the empire’s armed forces were called upon to snuff out the riots. Along with hundreds of others, Sevelle was found dead, trampled during the riots. The Silvera family held a public funeral for her, and within a year, varinos slavery was formally banned by the Imperial Collective, spurring on the Emancipation Massacres.
