Paris

**Paris** is a woman of many talents and one of the elders of the Alkenny Tribe. She has an especially strong relationship with Baba Voss, whom she effectively mentors. As an elder, advisor, and midwife, Paris ranks high within the Alkenny’s hierarchy. Her innate wisdom guides Baba Voss, especially in times of crisis; while dissenters mistrust her knowledge as evidence of witchcraft.

Maghra grows dubious of Paris, after Paris' beliefs in Jerlamarel and what the sense of sight for him, Haniwa, and Kofun can bring. While Maghra believes in the protection of her children, Paris understands the importance that they learn as much as they can and try to create a prosperous future for citizens of the world. Paris is able to convince Baba Voss of the need for his children to explore and learn, and he reluctantly keeps their knowledge gained from the books a secret. A presage with the ability to sense coming emotions and intentions, she talks to birds and hears the future in her sleep. A trusted confidant, she is considered family by Baba Voss.

## Biography

A priest and presage of the Alkenny, Paris also served as a midwife to the village's women. When Maghra, a woman who was three months pregnant arrived at their village, she was taken in the chieftain, Baba Voss. On the same night, an individual known as Jerlamarel left a message on Paris' altar with knowledge of a bridge he built off the mountain and directions to a hidden valley if the Alkenny ever needed to flee.

As the day of Maghra's birth arrived, Paris and Sinjay worked to deliver the child, only to find that Maghra was pregnant with twins; a boy and a girl. During the delivery, Queen Kane's Witchfinder found the village and attacked, searching for the heretic Jerlamarel. With a pause in the fighting due to heavy rain, Baba Voss and the rest of the Alkenny were at odds over the next steps, with some of the villages wishing to give Maghra and her children to the Witchfinders to appease them.

Baba Voss vowed to stand in their way, causing a rift in the village that threatened to turn violent. Paris defused the tensions, revealing that there was a way to escape their mountain home; a bridge over one of the ravines surrounding the village. When Baba asked about the bridge, Paris revealed it was built by Jerlamarel, the twins' true father and asked him to bear that pain for the sake of the village. With escape possible, Paris joined the rest of the Alkenny as they were led off the mountain to safety by Baba Voss, and followed Jerlameral's directions to a hidden valley where he had left the Alkenny the materials to built a new home.

As the Alkenny establish their new village, Baba Voss has an encounter with Jerlamarel, who gave him a key and directions to a hidden cache that he intended to be presented to the children on their twelfth birthdays. Paris recognised the contents as books, contain the knowledge of the ancestors. Paris, Maghra, and Baba Voss do not come to a conclusion about what to do with the books, instead burying the box and deferring to the decision until the twins' twelfth year.

As the twins grew, it became clear that they had indeed inherited their father's ability to see. Maghra, fearful of a society that would brand her children as Witches and Heretics, made the decision to withhold the books from the twins. However, **Paris** disagreed with the decision and delivered the books to the children, along with knowledge of their true father, Jerlamarel, behind Maghra's back. Baba Voss came to find out about this, and Paris convinced him to withhold that information from Maghra.
