Deshehar

**Lord Deshehar** is the Witness for the Parliament on the Corazhas and a member of Parliament.

## Appearance

Deshehar's age was unknown, but like the other Corazhas when Maia Drazhar became emperor, Deshehar wasn't old enough to have been around for much longer than when Varenechibel IV became emperor.

## Personality

Deshehar was enthusiastic in his role as Witness for the Parliament, and seemed to enjoy fighting with Lord Pashavar and Lord Bromar, and was seemingly not discouraged by his defeats.

## Life

Deshehar was a member of Parliament, and served as the Witness for the Parliament in the Corazhas, and was possibly the only member of the Corazhas who was elected. He often brought new ideas and unpopular opinions to the table.

Deshehar served through the end of Varenechibel IV's reign, and attended Maia's coronation, where he gave his oath of loyalty. Maia noted that Deshehar was not old enough to have given the oath more than once, implying that Deshehar was not also a holdover from Varevesena's reign.

After Maia's coronation, and the proposal for a bridge over the Istandaärtha was brought to the Parliament, Deshehar presented the idea to the Corazhas, though he did not understand the mechanics of it. The other Witnesses were skeptical.

Deshehar sat to Maia's right during Maia's first dinner with the Untheileneise Court. Maia did not talk to him, out of awkwardness, though Deshehar made numerous attempts to speak to him, with a focus on literature, which was a weak point of knowledge for Maia, who had not been allowed to read it growing up.

During the discussion of Maia's future empress, Deshehar - for once - sided with Pashavar, and they were supported by Eiru Berunar and Sonevet Athmaza in support of Csethiro Ceredin, who was ultimately chosen.

At one point, Deshehar was in a debate with the Witness for Foreigners about the northern borders of the Ethuveraz. It was not resolved by the end of the meeting of the Corazhas.

When Maia presented a request to give the Clocksmiths' Guild of Zhaö an audience before the Corazhas for the bridge over the Istandaärtha, Deshehar was the only Witness who didn't need to be persuaded.

During the Clocksmiths' presentation, Deshehar protested that the bridge would "break under its own weight".

Deshehar sent Maia a message for Maia's 19th birthday, including “a number of quick, clever caricatures, obviously drawn during Corazhas sessions: Lord Pashavar looking superbly waspish; Lord Bromar holding forth; Lord Isthanar obviously on the verge of falling asleep; Maia himself, pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperated dismay.” There was evident fondness in the drawings, and Maia understood it was an extension of trust that he gave them to Maia.

When the Corazhas were voting on the bridge over the Istandaärtha, Deshehar supported the bridge. When Maia used his vote to decide the matter in favor, Deshehar thanked him and proposed it be called the Varenechibel Bridge, in memory of Varenechibel IV. Maia recommended instead it be called the Wisdom Bridge, instead, which the Corazhas agreed to.

## Relationships

#### Eiru Berenar

Eiru frequently supported Deshehar in the Corazhas.

#### Maia Drazhar

Maia and Deshehar seemed to have a positive relationship, and seemed to align somewhat politically.

#### Lord Pashavar

Deshehar and Pashavar were often at odds in the Corazhas, and Pashavar would reflexively disagree with him.
