Rahvin was an urchin child in the streets of Falas. Abandoned and left homeless by parents he could never quite remember, but he didn’t have time to think about those sorts of things. He was much more concerned about how he was going to eat that day. Rahvin would typically steal minor ingredients from vendors and traders dotted through the city.
 
One unfortunate night, Rahvin was caught while he was stealing bits of food from different people. He hopped on a ship just before it set sail to avoid the guard. He hid on the ship for some time until he was caught right as the ship had set anchor in the country of Mercercle . Rahvin ran from the ship, away from the sailors, escaping them before they could punish him for being a stowaway.
 
During this time, Rahvin found himself doing the same as what he did in Adura, stealing what food he could. This went on until he was found by Daresed Ashdust. Although he was reluctant of first Rahvin allowed himself to be taken into the Ashdust home, taking on the Ashdust name.
 
Rahvin didn’t spend too much time in the ashdust home, but still grew to be a proud ashdust. Rahvin would always wander off to go to different inns, restaurants, and places of business of Mercercle, no longer stealing, but helping the different business owners and receiving their generosity in turn. In doing this, Rahvin would often hear the name and see the symbol on Anwyn, the goddess of the hearth, the home, and housewives. Rahvin grew to appreciate and even love the things that Anwyn stood for.
When he came of age, he found a run down building and, with the help of other ashdusts, restored the building, turning it into “The Ash and Cinder Inn.” A few years into running the Inn, Ravin was made a cleric of Anwyn for she saw him embodying everything she embodies.
 
A few more years pass and Rahvin, feeling the love and warmth of Anwyn, makes a vow of marriage to Anwyn, being married to the goddess.
 
As years go by, Anwyn would call to Rahvin to seek out their children and Rahvin would find them with Anwyn’s guidance. The first is a girl, her name is Willow, age 9. Rahvin finds her crying and screaming at her boss about the unfair pay at her job and how it’s not enough for food and the room she is boarding in, her employer not caring about the cries and needs of Willow. Rahvin offers her a home at his Inn, completely free and with better pay if she also chooses to work there with him, an offer that Willow gladly accepts.
 
Rahvin was wary when first setting out to follow Anwyn’s guidance for the second child two years later. This time, Anwyn sent him to a more lawless portion of Mercercle. That wariness quickly washed from Rahvin when he caught eye of money being handed to a man as he handed over a young gnome boy, no older than four years old, to another man. Rahvin, through force, brought the men down and took the boy back to the Inn. The boy had no name, so Rahvin named him Liam.
 
Three years later, Anwyn called Rahvin to take in another of their children. Rahvin only had to step outside to find a young tiefling woman, about 16, running through the streets begging for asylum. Almost drawn to Rahvin, she ran to him, Rahvin agreed to give her asylum the asylum she sought, and welcomed her into the inn. Rahvin sat with the girl and talked with her. He learned that she was an immigrant from Vespar who had lost her family in the journey here and that her name was Eloise. Moments later, guards came, asking for a girl whose description was exactly like that of Eloise. Rahvin claimed he knew of no such person and the guards left.
 
As time passes, Rahvin adopts two dogs from the streets. One a young, small, brown, and fluffy dog named Wilson that yaps and begs for attention from anyone who walks in the inn and lets him sit on their lap. The second is a very large, short haired and old dog named Ally who is very well trained, even taking trays to tables, but is a very lazy girl who will often make heavy old lady dog sighs.
 
As the years go by, Rahvin’s children grow to be splendid adults. Rahvin guided them through the trauma of their lives to grow and blossom, taught them the skills to be able to run Ash and Cinder by themselves with relative ease, gave them the tools and knowledge to lead healthy lives, and made sure they were happy and with him. The inn is moderately successful, allowing there to be enough money for the four of them to live comfortably and for Rahvin to be able to consistently send money back to the Ashdust home. Rahvin had made a corner of the world that made him as happy as could be.
