Saval

Mireni Mirenidan (a.k.a. Saval)

It's strange to me that a thief could be so prolific, and so proficient that we never even suspected her, and yet so incompetent as to trip on a stair and alert an entire neighbourhood. I guess they're all incompetent one way or another.

Mireni Mirenidan, more commonly known as Saval, is a Vosti half-elf of Suungkee descent. Since early 414 AC, she has been held in custody for her role in a spate of robberies committed on behalf of the Skarhan Scavengers.

History

Saval was born in the small Vosti town of Lakekra in 394 AC to a single mother, with her other parent's identity being unknown beyond the fact they were an Elf. Her mother was a baker, and toiled day in and out to support her daughter, though their relationship was fraught.   Tragically, the Lakekra bakery burned down in 406, with Saval being the only individual to survive the blaze. She was taken in briefly by a neighbour, but eventually she chose to leave the town and the judging eyes of the locals. Saval turned to a life of crime to survive, mostly in the form of petty thievery. Though this was rather small scale, she was eventually forced to cross the border north after she was nearly caught stealing food from the Baroness of Dovaldun.   Once in Telziad she continued to migrate north, never staying in one place for too long. This changed when she arrived in the capital city of Sinofis in late 413, and fell in with the Skarhan Scavengers gang, joining their ranks as a thief.   Despite a wealth of experience, Saval was arrested in early 414 after a robbery went awry. Though no-one was harmed in the incident, she was captured with a great deal of treasure on her from the many houses she had burgled that evening. In exchange for a slightly reduced sentences, Saval ratted out many of her colleagues, though most have avoided the authorities.

Social Ties

Saval was the only child of a small-town Vosti baker, with the identity of her elf parent being completely unknown. After being orphaned in her early teens, she drifted from city to city with no permanent associations to any individual or group, until the Scavengers.
