Personal history

Dau'fi was born before the first World Walker, Buun'fi, was sent to the Mortal World. In his youth, he lived in peace with his people, eventually training and becoming a librarian and scholar. Shortly after he did, Buun'fi was sent, changing the Hantheer's culture for centuries to come.
When Buun'fi didn't return, the Speaker appeared to the Hantheer, explaining the new role of the World Walkers. Many Hantheer were selected, including Dau'fi, to begin training to take up the mantle. Dau'fi was forced to leave his life behind and restart, training to become a World Walker with so many other Hantheer.
A new cycle was born. Dau'fi resided in the new complexes dedicated to the World Walkers in training, organizing history that came back to them in the evening and training during the days. Much of his early work helped create the organization that the Hantheer had after Buun'fi left, aiding in preparing more Hantheer for the changing political landscape they were going to be thrust in.
259 TA, Dau'sa was chosen as the World Walker. He appeared in Orimbela with a relatively straightforward task; a thunder-blight dragon became an elder, reaching two centuries in age. Its nest was near Orimbela's northern border, with an eye on southern horizons. Dau'sa gathered a collection of warriors before goading the creature to the north and defeating it, sending him home again.
Returned from his journeys, Dau'fi became a trainer for other World Walkers, training many, including Kan'sa.
