Claire Argin
Claire Louise Argin
Claire Argin was a geologist from Klaractazum who worked in the Evoreth mountains during the Age of the Long Famine. In 1840 APC, her attention was drawn to an anomoly in the flow of water near the source of the South Evoreth Stream. She realised that a tributary was delivering a much greater quantity of water than was now coming from the main stream, which had been slowly declining as the drought conditions affecting the entire world for the last ten years reduced it to a mere trickle. Oddly, however, the tributary she had identified seemed to be flowing with just as much force as it ever had, so that it had now become the main provider of river water for the diminished South Evoreth Stream.
The source of the previously unremarkable stream became known as the Argin Spring, and in a land blighted by drought, its remarkable ability to produce a steady and continuous supply of cool, fresh drinking water led to the formation of the town of Arginbury, an oasis in an increasingly desiccated land.
Much later in her life, Claire was elected to the position of Mayor of the town in 1881 APC.
As Mayor, she was very influential in the movement that led to the First Popular Ascendancy, attending the famous meeting in 1916 APC at the Tree of New Greening. Four years later, she became its first, First Ascendant and skilfully guided the organisation through five years of troubled constitutional birth pangs before her death in 1925 APC.
