Keti Wullang: Husband on Every Continent
Keti Wullang
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Keti took "The lonely will be reunited" to extreme measures. His belief was that he would achieve enlightenment if he was united with people from each continent that hosted one of the Seven Truths. In order to give his beliefs the fullest potential for actualization, he believed that the people with whom he reunites must be the most ostracized from society, and that the union must be the most intimate possible, within the boundaries of his lifespan.
As a youth, he planned out his life's itinerary thoroughly, testing it out first where he believed his task would be easiest, on the continent of Keyrit. He visited the orphanages of several Welokyi towns there. Orphans who had been raised there as children often worked there as caretakers in adulthood. He took aside once such staff member, Itigira, in Vort Yiki, explaining his life's aspirations and asking to raise a family with her for three years. Itigira had never been approached for romance before and so was intrigued; a few months of dating convinced her. The married couple had two children, and Keti poured all his earnings as a freelancer into building a homestead for his family. At the end of the third year, he asked if Itigira wished to go with him to travel the world. The orphanage still needed her, so she declined. Still, Keti's work ensured that Itigira and her children wanted for nothing. He boarded a ship for Wlitowaru'u, his next destination.
Each continent had unique challenges and quirks. Wlitowaru'u was too scarcely populated to have orphanages, but the residents there were isolated enough to be considered neglected by society. Tuhran citizens chased him out of several towns over accusations of "stealing [their] daughters." The orphaned wife who stayed with him was caught in the crossfire, labeled a traitor, and executed via mob before she could escape. The wives from Wlitowa and Yatkaugo chose to travel with him, staying in cabins far from town, living exciting but personally profound lives. Unterritory's wife died in childbirth; the son she bore was brought into the rest of the family and joined Keti in his travels.
Keti fell ill in Retrougo and later succumbed to a rare, nasty disease. His dying wish was to have his family reunite with Itigira, the woman who started it all. His dying words were that he had indeed achieved enlightenment, and that his only sorrow was that he would not live to share it with the world. He left behind five wives and a dozen children, all of whom were well off by most standards of the time.
