Achaea Corinthus

Achaea Corinthus was the daughter of Menaia Corinthus and the granddaughter of Achaeus Corinthus, whom she was named after. She was the wife of Desolas Arterius III, with whom she had four children; Desola, Fidellion, Selena and Achaea Arterius. She died in childbirth after giving birth to her youngest daughter, Achaea. Her death is said to have hit Desolas very hard.
Her maternal grandfather, Achaeus, died when Achaea was only twelve years of age. Despite her young age at the time of his death, she retained fond memories of him, specifically him playing with her, taking her for rides with him on his shatha and telling her war stories from his time as a mounted cavalry officer. During his funeral, Achaea presented one of her wooden shatha toys, which her grandfather had carved for her when she was still a chick, as an offering to his departed spirit; it was placed in his tomb beside him, alongside the offerings of her relatives. Achaea would later devote herself to becoming a shatha rider in his memory. 
Achaea rode a male shatha named Aethus, who was a descendant of Achaeus' prized mount, Aethon. When Achaea died in childbirth, Aethus became inconsolable, refusing to eat and bellowing mournfully for her each night. Seeing himself reflected in the broken creature's grief, Achaea's husband, Desolas, spent a lot of time grieving with him. When it became clear that Aethus' refusal to eat was endangering his health, Desolas sought immediate veterinary intervention. 
Aethus was put on intravenous fluids and an energy intensive liquid diet but quickly started to deteriorate. Knowing that he would not recover, Desolas made the hard decision to have Aethus humanely euthanised. However, rather than let a vet do so, he chose to do the deed himself, taking Aethus home so that he could die peacefully in the familiar surroundings of his stable, out of respect for his late wife.
