While Makeyan tradition would normally see children grow up with the extended members of their family line on their home island, the Emeni line had dwindled to just Tamsa and her mother. First Light spent a year in dry dock for repairs and updates before her crew resumed a cautious trading route within the Makeyan Archipelago, Tamsa in tow. Growing up on the ship's deck, Tamsa was raised collectively by the crew. The ship's purser, Ralam Lyas Besed, was a fellow Yemar, and saw to Tamsa's education and spiritual growth.Merchant in the Making
