Ashtjíretsyn

Ashtjíretsyn Nen-Ikhtjevnár (Syannic: Aszyretsūn) was a poet and linguist from Varvardnársh who became one of the first of her nation to travel outside of the Iron Desert , and would comprise the first dictionary of a foreign language.
==History==
The couple who married with the lineage name Ikhtjevnár were both prominent poets from the capital whose children all became prominent artists and poets. Ashtjíretsyn herself received state education and graduated with good honours, not older than sixteen. 
She later joined the Kágyvn or Dreamer sect soon after her graduation and later took part in an expedition to travel to the legendary Green land in the west .  
==Life in Syan==
The Green land that the poets arrived to would be Syan, the land to the west of the Iron Desert, the group first arriving in the colonial border settlement of Katagholmoā. Ashtjíretsyn was elected among the group to undertake the effort of deciphering the foreign language spoken by the coast-dwellers. 
She became a prominent sight in Katagholmoä as she appeared out of nowhere and spent all her time in the town centre, attempting to communicate with people and taking careful notes upon a tabula. She came under the protection of the local governor-Sarsza, Esztivatān, who showed much interest in the mysterious sojourners from the east who seemed to possess so many things the westerners were unaware of. For example, the Syannics thought the Gholam to be illiterate and suddenly there was a teenage girl appearing in their town who carried a tabula and took notes in an alien script.
Ashtjíretsyn and her compatriots were later taken to the heart of Syan and were even granted their own settlement, Gholmoā, where some of them settled down. Ashtjíretsyn stayed with the Syannics for several years and became perhaps the first Gholam to ever learn the Syannic language in full, and she worked as a translator in Syan for several years until she left and ventured back to Varvardnársh. She presented a journal of her travels as well as a dictionary of the Syannic language to the council in Varvardnársh, but was met with relatively little interest by the conservative Shadowborn who deemed Syan to be too distant to be of any relevance. She did, however, manage to pursue the interest of a small group of scholars and there is a tiny community that maintained studies in the Syannic language to this day. 
She travelled back and forth between the Iron Desert and the Syannic world a few more times in the her language until she eventually settled down. Her legacy remains in the dozen or so manuscripts attributed to her, mainly dealing in linguistics but also treatises on Syannic culture and technology.
