Hayala

Born in the year 415 in the Kingdom of Tivell, Hayala's life was destined to be one defined by valor, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to preserving the memory of those who had given their all in the crucible of war. He would become known as a historian like no other, a champion of remembrance, and a beacon of unwavering support for a fellow scholar whose talents would reshape the intellectual landscape of Omera.

Hayala's early years were marked by a sense of duty and a profound reverence for the sacrifices made by soldiers. As a young man, he was thrust into the chaos of battle, fighting alongside comrades whose bonds ran deep. Tragically, he bore witness to the devastating cost of war when his beloved brother, a warrior of great courage, fell in service to their kingdom. The loss left an indelible mark on Hayala, instilling in him a sense of purpose that would shape the trajectory of his life.

After emerging from the crucible of conflict, Hayala embarked on a path less traveled. He transitioned from a soldier to a historian, driven by an ardent desire to commemorate the sacrifices of fallen warriors and to understand the deity Lurime, the god of bones and fallen soldiers. Hayala's journey took him to battle-scarred landscapes where he sought the presence of Lurime amidst the remnants of war.

It was during these travels that Hayala encountered veterans who shared their stories, recounting the silent presence of Lurime and the solace he offered amidst the chaos of battle. These firsthand accounts resonated deeply with Hayala, fueling his determination to chronicle Lurime's role in the lives of soldiers.

Hayala's magnum opus was not a vast collection of writings but a legacy of reverence and remembrance. He dedicated himself to constructing monuments and memorials that honored those who had laid down their lives, regardless of the side they had fought on. These tangible testaments to valor and sacrifice bore witness to Hayala's unwavering commitment to preserving the memory of fallen soldiers.

In a time when the contributions of female scholars were often dismissed, Hayala emerged as a beacon of support for Galienne, a historian whose work sought to illuminate the annals of Omera's history. Recognizing her unparalleled talents, Hayala pioneered a new publishing venture, using his platform to bring Galienne's works to the public eye. His unwavering encouragement and support paved the way for her contributions to be recognized and celebrated.

However, Hayala's dedication to truth and knowledge came at a price. Late in his life, his steadfast support for Galienne and his unwavering commitment to his principles led to his imprisonment. It was within the confines of a cell that Hayala's mortal journey came to an end.

Yet, as his earthly existence waned, Lurime, the god of fallen soldiers, carried Hayala's soul safely to the underworld, a fitting tribute to a man who had devoted his life to preserving the memory of those who had given their all. Hayala's legacy endured, not only in the monuments he had raised and the words he had penned but in the hearts and minds of all who cherished the value of remembrance and the sacrifices of fallen soldiers.
