Yael Pashei

The protector of the Treil

Chieftain Yael Pashei (a.k.a. Chief, Ya)

She came out of the house, proud and tall. Her short, black hair flew around her face in the wild wind, she had smile-wrinkles and worry lines. She didn't seem to be too old, but her eyes looked as if they'd seen countless centuries worth of conflicts.

Yael is currently one of the most important chieftains of the Treil. She was elected chieftain when she was just 24 years old in 778 AK.

History

Early life

Yael was born in 754 AK in the town of Arcmore in Halivaara. She was born under one of the toughest winters the cold north has ever experienced. The survival chances for a small baby in that period was small, but Yael's parents did everything in their power to make sure she made it. Their efforts were fruitful and she grew up to be a healthy and strong Iwachi.

She was born into the Pashei family, which was a family of fishers. When she was 7 years old, she lost her older brother to the brutal waves. That left her with only one other sibling, her younger sister. When she was 17 years old, her father died of sickness and she had to take up the family business, or else her family would starve.

Problems with Ildres

The Country of Ildres had mostly left the Treil alone in the first 15 years of Yael's life, but that soon changed. Mercenaries most likely sent by hateful high-standing citizens of Ildres were sent to kill and hunt the Treil as if they were animals. This took a toll on all the towns in Halivaara. Yael trained in her past time with the chieftains of Arcmore and soon became a skilled leader and fighter. She set out with the oldest chieftain in the town to go confront the president of Ildres.

Personal life Yael currently resides in a mid-centre townhouse in Arcmore. She lives there with her partner of four years, she's called Noreen. They both wanted children at some point, but since it's physically impossible for them to procreate, they've chosen to adopt two children in need. They currently house 2 of the young refugee Half-breeds who they have adopted as a part of their household. A 6-year-old boy called Braden and a 9-year-old girl called Elvera. They adopted both of their kids several years ago, and they are now a very tight-knit family.

The new law

After several long negotiations meeting with the president, Yael and the older chieftain managed to get him to implement a law that forbid citizens of Ildres to hurt and steal from the Treil. This had before been a common right of the Nerna, but the president made an effort to limit the number of raiders. In turn, the Halivaara settlements would open up for minor trade with Ildres, since Halivaara is the only place in Ildres with Eastril deposits.

Current work

Yael is now one of the people who are in charge of getting refugee Half-breeds housed in the city of Arcmore. She leads a team who trains newcomers in basic skills that one would need in the unforgiving climate. She also organizes small language classes and make sure they get a usefull job so that they can contribute to the community and make a living.
