## History

### Pre-Series

Asheva was born to Valia and an unknown Black in Axyum and was raised according to Black tradition. Prior to his escape from the Black city, he was friends with Andahar.

### *Of Masks and Chromes*

Asheva's father takes Asheva to Axyum's central square to witness the execution of a Harlequin. The next day, a war against the Reds is waged. Asheva's father is one of the many Black soliders who participate in the war, as he is part of the Black First Army. A month after the war declaration, Asheva and Valia are told that Asheva's father has died in battle; this places Valia into a permanet state of greiving/mourning. A few months pass until the Eldest declares, under the night of a full blood moon, that the Red army has won the war and that the Red Kingdom needs twenty ounces of gold per family to pay for their losses.
