Toi̯hkirt of Valhous
Toi̯hkirt, affectionately known as Kirt to his close associates, carries the distinction of hailing from the chilly Valhous, capital of the hold of Bournapk within Chalornok. This icy land, just a frosty breath north of Ceweren, is a Stronghold of The Aurimbic Tradition, a reclusive monastic order of Seers. Kirt, however, is a Seer with a twist: Raised in the noble family of Hitnols, linked to The Iron Lords who monopolize the iron trade, he carries himself with a practiced social grace unusual among his hermitic brethren. This social acumen earmarked him for a special role, as part of a diplomatic group representing his tradition to Ceweren's government and, critically, The Council of Landezon, a group often exasperated with the Aurimbic's aloofness.
Although Kirt's adherence to Aurimbic ways forbids him from dabbling in worldly affairs such as business or ruling duties, having a Seer in the family is seen as an honour. His father, Lord Inoi̯ Hitnol, takes every opportunity to boast about his son's unique vocation.
Despite his roots in a land of frost and silence, Kirt has taken to the buzz of city life with great enthusiasm. He enjoys meeting new people and traversing social circles with a zest that stands in contrast to the traditional Aurimbic reclusiveness. This inner tug-of-war, the city's call versus his tradition's pull, is a constant in Kirt's life.
His lover, Théw Kodimane, is a key figure in his current city life. They first met at a high-profile gala hosted by Lady Dau̯vau̯ of Siánth, and the connection was immediate. Though Kirt, being only twenty, is still unseasoned in the ways of the world, he's aware of Théw's ambitious streak and his desire to leverage Kirt's social connections and Seer abilities for their mutual benefit, and that of Théw's mercantile enterprise. However, he's captivated by Théw's slightly older and seemingly wiser personality, and chooses to overlook this for the allure of their bond. This liaison brings a fresh dynamism to Kirt's life, adding another facet to his dual existence between monastic reclusiveness and social exhilaration.
