## History

**Early Life**

Arryk Rivers was born into uncertainty as the illegitimate son of a young Quiltyon Qoherys, the heir to House Qoherys at a young age. Quiltyons father Lord Branoath took the child in to show his son responsibility. Arryk would grow up alongside other members of the house as a member of the family learning to read, write, and fight but would not be permitted to carry the name of Qoherys. Always wondering who his mother was and if she is even alive all that he knows is that his mother must've had green eyes if his eyes are green.

During Arryk's upbringing within the Qoherys household, he was integrated into the family dynamics, treated on par with other members despite his illegitimate status. His camaraderie with his half-brother, Jake Qoherys, was genuine, forming a bond that transcended their different backgrounds. While Arryk primarily assumed the role of a servant within the house, he was obliged to attend family events, serving as a silent observer amidst the nobility.

An impactful moment occurred during one such gathering when Arryk befriended the daughter of a lord from another house. Initially, their friendship seemed genuine, but upon discovering Arryk's bastard lineage, she coldly denied their connection, revealing her kindness was contingent on his status. This betrayal served as a wake-up call, teaching Arryk a harsh lesson about the superficial nature of many social interactions. It became a turning point, motivating him to carve his own legacy and cherish authentic friendships, unblemished by ulterior motives.

In another pivotal experience from his childhood, Arryk and Jake clandestinely ventured beyond the confines of their house. Disguised, they explored the neighboring villages, witnessing the harsh realities faced by the peasants, many of whom shared Arryk's status as bastards. This eye-opening encounter instilled in Arryk a profound gratitude for his father and the lord who had taken him in. The experience kindled a sense of pride for his house, realizing that his life, despite its challenges, was significantly better than what fate had dealt to others.
