Getya

Getya is a middle-aged Foreckaw woman, and mother to Giida, Gohst, and Wisest. She inexplicably left Gunhalmeir once Gohst found the hidden libram under Jiarum, and pilfered its books to the benefit of the city.

## Story

**(Spoilers)**

Before current events, Getya led a small, secretive expedition into the Calamity Tree at the center of Gunhalmeir in the year 2222. After eventually traveling deep enough through the endless roots to pass the threshold of the Pilfering Depths, each member of the expedition lost something of themselves. For Getya, this was her ability to name her own children.

Being one of the most intelligent and daring Foreckaw at the time, she was encouraged to have offspring with a Human suitor to try and bring the Foreckaw that much closer to true hybridity. Being a rare literate Foreckaw, she learned of the Human's Curse of Names long before having her first child, Giida.

Getya was perturbed by her eldest son claiming his name was "Brag" as an infant. She made sure to instill in him that his name was Giida, almost using him as a test to see if he would be afflicted by the Curse of Names. If people called him Giida often enough, when his Akkaz-given name was Brag, he would surely die young due to the curse's misfortune. (Exacerbated further due to the Foreckaw's own nature to speak in first-person.)

For her second son, Getya chose to not name him, and would raise him almost in total secrecy for the first few years of his life, until he could speak his own name. When he told her that his name was Ghost, Getya cleverly named him Gohst, a perfectly similar sounding name in the Foreckaw tongue. That way, no one would know about his Akkaz-given name, while he would still be able to avoid the curse of names.

Finally, when she birthed Wisest, she named her Gaucha, Wisest insisted that wasn't her name, as Getya had expected, and allowed her to use the name "Wisest" as much as she wanted, which obviously sparked some turmoil in Gunhalmeir, many refusing to stop using her traditional name "Gaucha". When Wisest had enough of the false name, she declared herself the Foreckaw Hero's heir, and the one who would eventually Soar, to bring the Foreckaw to superiority in a effort to kill her false name once and for all.

Getya quietly left Gunhalmeir to silently observe her children's progress. She witnessed Giida die young via a Pulse Vision, as expected, and then learned of the "Nameless Three", a trio of Ovyuuman siblings all skulking aimless without names at all. She decided to divert her attention to these three, in an effort to learn more about their situation. She concluded that the names Akkaz had given to her children (Brag, Ghost, and Wisest) were all meant for these three instead, committing to following them for any further detail. Getya's objective is to confirm that her children's Human blood threw off the natural order of Soly when she stepped into the Pilfering Depths, and damned the three Ovyuuman to a life of isolation and misery. She hopes in confirming this, she can convince the Foreckaw to cease with their race-mixing and attempt to reach the Soaring collectively, and not through the misguided methods of becoming hybrids.
