Vekhshtvezhán

Vekhshtvezhán Nen-Ş (Amrinshtvá : Ta-ʂa-la-ti-tša) was a savant born into the poet class of the Vht'shjenjé . Suffering from a form of autism and unable to speak, he was from an early age deemed impossible by his peers to maintain the family tradition of being a poet. However, his parents nonetheless insisted to teach him one craft; to play the musical instrument of Amrins'esh .
==The Virtuoso==
Due to Vekhshtvezhán's condition the traditional method of teaching music was inapplicable to him, and he drove many teachers into frustration due to his unresponsiveness and lack of progress. His parents insisted for many years he receive training, but around the age of 12, they had just about begun to give up their hope, and ceased all the tutoring. Ironically, it was when he was left to himself that the boy truly began to progress, exploring the instrument in his own way. He was described as "a bright Safvarishi flower, breaking out of hard red shale in a lonely desert," making astounding progress in an immensely short time. Before long, the boy had created his entirely own style of utilising the instrument, and the music he played was unlike anything any poet had ever heard before. He almost fused with the instrument, playing with it night and day and found little interest in anything else.
At the age of seventeen, he was discovered by the poet-philosopher Marjenjitsjá during her travels around Vht'shjenjé looking for artistic talent. Unlike all the tutors that had come before her, she managed to connect and communicate with him, largely through the medium he understood; communication through music. Together, the two created a language system based around the nine basic notes in the traditional musical system, giving each note a syllable which in turn was used to create language. It was a simplistic language, free from the intricate grammar and poetical depth of the Vht'shjenjé spoken language, one that  Vekhshtvezhán would comprehend. He still would not open his mouth to speak, but he communicated with him Amrins'esh. Marjenjitsjá called their language Amrinshtvá, "The Amrin's speech" and she brought him to Varvardnársh to present him along with other talents to the government, to show the immense beauty and talent that rested within the ranks of the Vht'shjenjé people and urged the government to "set the creativity free".
Vekhshtvezhán became one of the most famous figures in Varvardnársh overnight, and became the most sought-after Amrins'esh player in the whole city. He toured winehouses, temples, caravaneer camps and even the Shjevtyrín's court itself, before she established him as an honorary master in her academy. Since then, the Vekhshtvezháni style of music has been mimicked by several other players who seek to recreate the unconventional yet innately genuine style the boy became known for. His language, the Amrinshtvá, is taught as part of musical theory at the academy and has nearly become a secret language of the poet class. He is one of the most revered and respected musicians in the Shadowborn world, despite his handicap, which in a way only served to make him even more mysterious.
