Mag'Mar-the-Weeper
Mag'Mar Tu'Wen-Tu'Wen Guwen Gawaiyn (a.k.a. Tu'Wen (Meaning "Doom"))
The strongest of the Yea'haa'weh, he led his people into victory against the strongest of the Surakh decades before. He is known as the Weeper because he was the only one to survive the battle, and he cried for every man and woman lost. He died in 598,550 DE.
There is only one picture of Mag'Mar; a simple portrait drawn with black water-paint. The portrait shows Mag'Mar in battle, firing an arrow with one pair of hands whilst drawing out his heirloom-sword with the other. Found near his burial-place, it is said that Mag'Mar's son Jah was the one who drew it.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Mag'Mar was incredibly fit, maybe the most impressive of the Yea'haa'weh males at his time. Some say he could match an elder in speed, and a Surakh in ferocity if he was angry.
Body Features
Snow-white fur. Pale reddish-black stripes and a long tail with rings like a lemur.
Facial Features
His black mark was the only feature that set him apart from other Yea'haa'weh. He had the same feline features as all of them.
Identifying Characteristics
He was the first Yea'haa'weh to be born with four arms. From his bloodline came the Royals. Another identifying feature was the long black stripe (the curse-mark) that spread over his left eye and reached his ear.
Physical quirks
Despite being four-armed, Mag'Mar preferred to use only two arms for his day-today activities.
Special abilities
It is said that he could foretell of horrible events to come. Some say his precognition was a result of his curse-mark.
Apparel & Accessories
He typically preferred to wear a blue and black cloth wrapped around his shoulders and waist. He also wore a necklace, said to have belonged to his mother before she killed herself after contacting Red-Eye. He also wore sandals, but went barefoot in war.
Specialized Equipment
Bow and arrow. He was also skilled with the heirloom-sword and noose.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born under a willow-tree in the deepest heart of the Heimish-Forests, it was prophesied by the elders that he would be the greatest Yea'haa'weh warrior who would lead his people to victory. But they also foretold of horrible sorrow that was to follow. Mag'Mar was never to be happy, and only for a short time if he was.
From the time he was born, he was bullied by the other children as he was born with a black mark on his eye, a stripe that signified a curse. He was also discriminated as he had been born with four arms instead of two (at this time the term "Royal" had not existed, so Yea'haa'weh with four arms were not considered as kings and queens). His only friends were his older sisters and his younger brother Kabil, who would betray him later. His father, Jormagan, loved his son, but feared him at the same time. For Mag'Mar's tenth birthday he was gifted an heirloom-sword, forged by his own grandfather. Mag'Mar never forgot his father's one and only gift, as his father was killed later that night by a masked assassin.
At the age of 16 he went to the elders for training to become the warrior he was destined to be. Educated by the Yea'haa'weh elders to be a supreme warrior, Mag'Mar had little time for family and friends. At the age of 20 he left the training of the elders, as he had failed their tests of bravery. He then left to Raginwald where he was further educated to be a monk by a tribe of Drekkin who had abandoned their bloodthirsty ways. He was a monk for 2 years before he left and decided to work in his father's carpentry-shop. Later on he would join the army and train as a soldier. After he failed the tests of bravery a second time, he left. In a few years, he got married and had two children; one of them had four arms just like him and the other had the black stripe. The two children, named as Jah and M'lezna, grew up in a loving household under their father's protection. Unfortunately, it was not to last. In 5 years his village was attacked and destroyed by invading Surakh, led by the Indagarian known by the Surakh as Tashtai-the-Deathless, and Mag'Mar lost his wife in the battle. Filled with sorrow and hurt, he joined the army a second time, this time permanently. He left his two sons with his brother Kabil. He would regret this later.
Mag'Mar trained and became a fierce warrior. He managed to pass the tests of bravery and, after years of training, was selected as a General. He soon rose to be the fiercest warrior in the army. And then the Surakh attacked, once again led by Tashtai-the-Deathless. In the ensuing fight, the leader of the army, and Mag'Mar's mentor, was killed. After this Mag'Mar was selected as leader.
Now fueled with rage and a thirst for vengeance, he gathered his army and devised a strategy. Within two weeks of planning, he was ready. He led his men to the city of Surakhnit, where they battled with the Bloodborn. Steel met flesh, wood met stone, blood met dirt. Screams painted the air, and sand mixed with the wind. In the heat of battle, Mag'Mar saw his enemy; the Indagarian leader Tashtai-the-Deathless who, years earlier, had killed his entire village for pure glory. Mag'Mar felt pure hatred. He had lost his wife, his mentor, his home. All because of the creature standing a few yards away from him. With haste he drove his horse forward, and swiftly decapitated Tashtai-the-Deathless with his heirloom-sword, that had been given to him by his father so long ago.
With the Deathless-One now dead, Mag'Mar knew the battle war over. But he had no one to celebrate it with, as his entire army had perished in the conflict. Some had been killed, others killed accidentally. Some killed themselves, after staring too long into the dead eyes of the monsters they had been fighting. Mag'Mar was alone. Even his horse, stung in the leg by a poison-dart, had died. And he cried. And his weeping could be heard all the way to his village, and echoed across the moon. He cried for every man and woman that had died, every horse and beast of battle. Most of all, he cried for his mentor, his wife. His father.
After he finished weeping, Mag'Mar went back to his village where he was given the title of "Tu'Wen-Tu'Wen" (Meaning "Twice-Damned"). Five years passed. Mag'Mar and his children established a kingdom, which his son Jah (who had been born with four arms like his father) would rule. It was from the bloodline of Jah that the "Royals" would come. Years passed. Years of celebrating. Of laughter and joy. But it was not to last.
One day, as Mag'Mar and his son M'lezna were out hunting near the lake, Mag'Mar heard a rustling in the branches. And he was attacked. The attacker wore a mask, almost similar to the one the assassin that had killed his father had worn. The two fought fiercely. And just as it appeared that Mag'Mar would win, his own son betrayed him. Stabbing his father in the back with the heirloom-sword, he helped the attacker stand up. And the attacker removed his mask. It was Kabil, brother of Mag'Mar. He had been holding a deep hatred and jealousy towards his brother, starting from their early childhood from the time his father had given him the heirloom-sword. Kabil had also hated his brother for letting Yvan, the woman he had loved whom his brother had married, to be killed at the hands of Tashtai-the-Deathless. It was he who had killed their father all those years ago, he had been the masked assassin. All this hatred for his brother he had fed into Mag'Mar's son M'lezna, who had also felt jealous of his own brother. Kabil had poisoned the boy's mind against his own father. And now, standing over his brother, he could finally seek revenge after years of waiting and planning patiently. Slinging a bow, he shot Mag'Mar through the chest with his arrow and left his body there, so any passerby would think it had been a simple killing by a bandit. Later on Kabil and M'lezna would form their own little kingdom far away in the lands of the Vedda, whilst Jah ruled his own kingdom not too far away.
And as Mag'Mar lay there, blood streaming from where his son had stabbed him and Kabil's arrow had pierced his heart, he could only feel great sorrow. The elders had been right. Mag'Mar would never be truly happy, he would never even die happy. He had lost everything. His home. His wife. His people. His mentor. His heirloom-sword. His father. He had gone through life alone, and he would now die alone. The birds cried out, signalling the passing of his soul into the lands of the damned.
And as he lay dying there, he wept.
