Personal history

Young Life

Adela was born into one of the most powerful families in Aetherium, her parents were Lord & Lady Admiral Icefaren of the Achipelago Islands.

Growing up, she had a happy life but one that was filled with rules & restrictions set by her parents.

She was taught from a young age that these rules must be followed, generally without question & although at times Adela did rebel, this was often far & few.

Despite her parents being very loving they were often somewhat overbearing, they were also absent for at least half of her young life due to an almost constant number of obligations to which they were required to atend to.

Adela's father was the Lord Admiral of the Barafu Naval Fleet & the head of the Icefaren Organisation, her mother was the matriarch of the family but also acted as a diplomat for the Icefaren Organisation & was normally busy with formal & informal events.

Memories

One of Adela's happiest memories was the time her Uncle Santiana returned from what she thought to be a long trip away, only years later she would learn the truth of his imprisonment, this did not affect her love for her uncle though who she has often considered to be a second father figure in her life.



Adela's least favourite memory was of an argument during her early teenage years.

At the age of 14 she was instructed by her father to begin Barafu Navy Training, specifically, naval theory, history, culture & drills.

This was not well recieved & Adela initially attempted to rebel her training, in an attempt to mediate the conflict, her uncle Santiana sat down with her father & after many discussions it was determined that Adela would take on a lighter training regime for the first two years focusing only on the naval history & culture. It was these arguments that gave Adela a realisation of how restrictive her life had the potentional to be.

Leaving Home

Adela left home for 4 seasons (1 year) at the age of 16 to live with her uncle for additional tutoring.

The tutoring he offered was specifically regarding the management of a sailing vessel, both on the water & in the sky. Adela served on Santiana's ship, the Maritime Jenny. Starting as a low ranking member of the crew, Adela worked her way up to Quarter Master by the end of the 4th season.

On her return home 1 year later Adela easily passed her Naval Ship Management exams, normally these exams are only taken by individuals looking to become captains but as an immediate member of the Icefaren family she was expected to pass these sorts of tests early on.

Adela left home again when she was 19, this time was more temporary as she had a package to deliver to the curator of the Museum of Malbeck, upon delivery she was due to return to her father.

Education

From the age of 14 Adela has been taught by Barafu Navy Officers, this is because it is expected that she will one day become a working member of the Barafu Navy.

Her education included the following topics;

• Aetherium Studies - A Study of Aetherium's Geography, Wildlife, History, Cultures, Nations, Industries & Mechanics - All schools cover these topics, albeit with differing levels of success depending on the quality of the school.

• Naval Theory - These lessons teach cadets everything they need to know about the navy without any physical or live examples, this includes the subject of why the navy exists & why it is needed.

• Naval History & Culture - Unique to the Barafu Navy, these lessons teach the cadets the history of the Barafu Navy beginning with its roots stemming from the Icefaren Trading Company. once cadets understand the history, they are taught about the naval culture, this includes lessons of daily life on & off a ship, at the end of their culture training cadets are expected to show their learning on a 15 day excursion aboard one of the navy's ships.

• Navy Drills - This is one of the most physical parts of navy training. It covers navy life on a base, it also teaches cadets how to march in formation & for interested cadets, they can learn to play an instrument & join the naval band. The navy does not permit bardism in its ranks.

Extra Lessons

• Naval Ship Management Exam - Only those who have served the barafu navy for five years with at least one of those years having the rank of quarter master can apply to take their Ship Management Exam, passing this exam means that they can apply to become a Captain. As Adela is an immediate member of the Icefaren family, it was expected of her to take this exam early on.

• Languages: Draconic, Dwarvish & Thieves’ Cant.

Known Languages

Adela was brought up with Common & Elvish, she later learned Draconic, Dwarvish & Thieves’ Cant through her schooling.
