Driz'Meratar Shadowblade: Birth
Life, Birth
8/11
Prince Meratar was born to Shynt'vyrae Shadowblade. However, the circumstances of birth were less than optimal.
The baby boy was born months before his time. The baby was first thought to be stillborn. He was sickly and had twisted legs. He would, however, have the dragon scales of Shadowblade family, and blood-red eyes of his father, Durimar Shadowblade, who had just passed away.
Healers doubted the child wouldn't last overnight and offered to let him out of his misery, considering at most merciful option. Shynt'vyrae refused. Instead, she told her servants to take the child and make sure he would be taken care of. They ordered to guarantee that the boy would be as comfortable as possible, but they were instructed not to revive him if he would die. According to her own words, she owned that to her late husband.
After her commands, Shynt'vyrae would leave the boy to the servants and name him Meratar, meaning Doomed Prince, as she believed he'd be soon gone.
