Personal history

Born Hazen Levenja, Eb was born to a noble family descended from Hazen Rabban, one of the founding magistrates of Ardent. Her mother was a magistrate of Arden, her father in the admiralty. Although she dreamed of being a marine and cracking skulls on the high seas, she was given to the School of Tides as a way of forging a political alliance between Ardent and the School, on orders from her father. She earned her nickname in the early years, although the name has ignoble origins -- it was coined by Master Folvax, after Levenja misspelled the word 'ebb'. He insisted on it, as he also considered the young Tidecaster to be a "cynical little shit that always sees the ebb, never the flow". She continued her studies, eventually proving that she belonged with the mages and became one of the school's most capable members. She had a happy personal life as well, marrying Pelox Adenos in 410.
The pair had three children: the twins Drevenor and Lorma, and a third son, Acamas. While Aldenos would have liked more, Eb said no. Trials at the School of Tides relied on the use of lethal magics and the closer she got to the end of her training, the more dangerous did they get. They would be positively lethal to a child in the womb. Shortly before the war, after the children grew up and found their own trades, Eb and Aldenos toured the Tiers, visiting her husband's homeland of Apex, sailing around Five Wives and Sunder ... Before Kyros invaded. Answering the call to battle, both Eb and Aldenos fought at the Gates of Judgment. Her husband, slowed down by age, fell in combat, with Eb witnessing his end. Worse yet, both of her twins were lost during the battle, one ran through by a Disfavored spear, the other disappearing, most likely recruited into the Chorus or dead.
This was merely the opening act of the ruin of her life. Though their magic made them formidable in battle, the School of Tides devoted their efforts to the study of the arts and cornering trade along the coasts. While these efforts gave the school prestige and acceptance, they’ve also turned the school into a peaceful order, one unready for war. Kyros’ conquest of the Tiers would take several years of war through the mountains, but the School of Tides were defeated with ease. Before the first Disfavored or Scarlet Chorus troops crossed into the Tiers, agents of Kyros sent threats to Occulted Jade, Archon of Tides and the school’s founder and guardian. Unwilling to bow and unwilling to fight, Occulted Jade fled, taking nearly all of her disciples across the sea to parts unknown. Only four Tidecasters remained behind to fight, and of them, Eb was the youngest.
Having lost her husband, children, home, school, and realm to the war, Eb’s life is now little more than battle and living on the run. With the death of her three mentors, Eb is also the last of her kind. Proud to have been born unbowed to Kyros but unburdened by the delusion that she has any chance of winning, Eb now wages her own war against the invaders, rallying to whatever band of Tiersmen is still willing to fight against the seemingly limitless might of Graven Ashe, the Voices of Nerat, and their legions of soldiers. Though she knows true victory is impossible, that won’t stop her from slaying as many of the foreign invaders as she can on her way out.
