**Balaye Pannynpy** (Bah-lah-yeh Pan-eeh-peh) is a Temperate Faraelin, born in the great oak forests of northwest Bazwebwe.

## Origin

Balaye was born at a very young age with his brother Alpy Ny'aliet, (who was born at a similarly young age). They would look over the oak and pine forests of northwest Bazwebwe for a number of years after a large forest fire ran through the region. Despite good progress in restoration, Alpy would die at the age of 44 (young for Faraelin, which live from 100 to indefinitely, depending on nature's call) after an oak blight (which affects Faraelin just as it does trees) hit the forest and Alpy, who being more plant-like as far as Faraelin go, was far more susceptible.

Feeling betrayed by the nature he was born to protect, Balaye could not stand to stay in the forests and soon left to search for other Faraelin, as a few years prior he had heard of their existence in the jungles of the deep south. He started in the baren jungles of Bazwebwe and finding nothing travelled west to the jungles of Vaurutir. He would spend a great deal of time here but to no avail. After no luck in finding his kind, he decided he might as well see the world and travelled further west to the deserts, then north, island hopping until he arrived on the central continent of Lazzeatir. After travelling western Lazzeatir for a while, he would come across the town of Fateforge, in which he would settle. He would later leave for a brief time, on an expedition to explore the north when he was 69 years old. After returning he would pick up blacksmithing.

After living in Fateforge for a good while, he would leave in another attempt to find his kind, travelling south back into the jungle. With no luck, a few months later he would return to Fateforge, by now being 74. By now he had largely lost any hope of finding his kind, and so decided to settle down in Fateforge where he would live for the foreseeable future. He would take up hunting and mainly sell animal products. Beyond this, he would work in construction in Fateforge here and there, eventually creating a coffee shop called the "Java Jive". For the next few years life was slow and tempered for Balaye, who soon reached the age of 79. He began to feel his connection to Nature dwindle, and so would attempt to regain this connection by spending time in the mountains, particularly near the Iyola tree, a prestigious tree responsible for the dense forests in the area.

This attempt to improve his connection was short-lived however, as Balaye soon found himself indulging more in national, and other material affairs when he began construction of a highway system. Along with this, he became the curator for the new Reliquan History Museum. With his connection to Nature already as low as ever, Balaye set the last few nails in the coffin when he founded a ship-building company on a newly formed island. His connection to nature was now nearly, if not completely severed and his days were numbered.
