Sehalis Athmaza

**Sehalis Athmaza** is the Adremaza of the Athmaz'are.

## Appearance

When Sehalis was flustered, "there was a pale pink blush in his cheeks and at the tips of his ears."

When Sehalis knelt in the Ulimeire of the Mazan'theileian prior to the revethvoran of Dazhis Athmaza, he "was haggard and unkempt, as though he’d been digging his fingers into his hair".

## Personality

Sehils was formal and a bit flustered at times when dealing with Maia Drazhar. He also paid attention to gossip in the Untheileneise Court.

## Life

Sehalis served as Adremaza through the end of the reign of Varenechibel IV. After the death of Varenechibel IV, Sehalis expected Lord Chancellor Uleris Chavar to inform them of Maia's arrival at the Court. When Uleris did not do so, Setheris Nelar went on Maia's behalf to ask why Sehalis had not assigned Maia mazei nohecharei. Sehalis told Setheris to convey his apologies to Maia about the incident, and that no slight was meant, and that he would see to the matter.

Sehalis asked Cala Athmaza to be Maia's First Nohecharis. Cala accepted, and Sehalis sent him to Maia.

Sehalis asked Dazhis Athmaza to be Maia's Second Nohecharis. Dazhis accepted, and Sehalis sent him to Maia.

Sehalis witnessed the question-asking of Maia's coronation. After Maia chose Deret Beshelar and Cala to be his guides during the vigil of his coronation, there were murmurs against Maia. Sehalis spoke to Cala and Deret before the funeral for Varenechibel IV, Nemolis Drazhar, Nazhira Drazhar, and Ciris Drazhar, telling them they could not be Maia's friends, and were not his equals, and had obligations to fulfill, in which must lie the extent of their relationship.

After Dazhis broke his oaths and betrayed Maia to join in Sheveän Drazharan and Uleris' coup to force Maia's abdication (and knocked out Telimezh), Sehalis asked Kiru Athmaza to become Maia's Second Nohecharei, to replace Dazhis. Sehalis told Maia there was no one else after the death of Varenechibel IV's nohecharei and the loss of Dazhis. After Maia (and Telimezh) accepted, Sehalis informed Maia that it was "customary for the revethvoris to speak to those he has wronged" to properly make peace for his actions. Sehalis noted that ordinarily Dazhis would come to Maia, but Captain Verer Orthema of the Untheileneise Guard requested Maia go to the Mazan'theileian instead, to ensure that restrictions on Dazhis' abilities wold be maintained, for Maia's protection. Maia agreed.

When Maia and Telimezh (with Kiru) arrived at the Mazan'theileian, Sehalis sent Ozhis to welcome them and escort them to the Visitors' Room.

Sehalis knelt in the Ulimeire of the Mazan'theileian prior to Dazhis' revethvoran. Sehalis greeted Maia and welcomed him to the Ulimeire when Maia arrived with his nohecharei. Sehalis was part of the revethvoran ceremony, and met Dazhis in the Lesser Courtyard where it took place. He spoke with Dazhis briefly, and then gave him the revethvoreis'atha, and then stepped away. After Dazhis completed his part of the ritual, and canons checked to see that he was dead, the Adremaza announced that the ritual was concluded.

Back in the Mazan'theileian, the Adremaza asked if Maia was all right. He thanked Maia for witnessing.

## Relationships

#### Dazhis Athmaza

Sehalis seemed stressed about Dazhis' revethvoran. He seemed frustrated that Dazhis did not write to his family, but noted that Dazhis seemed unhappy.

#### Maia Drazhar

Sehalis was formal to Maia, but also seemed a bit empathetic, and was grateful that Maia attended Dazhis' revethvoran.
