Ahwa Ik'skul (a.k.a. Lady Fallingstar)
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Very little is known about Lady Fallingstar's life, as she existed several millennia ago during a time when history was not well recorded due to Maferath's constant war with mortality. What we do know is that she holds a significant place in Elven history as the first female Ahwa ever recorded. This is perplexing in and of itself, as historical records (spotty as they may be) indicate that she was Ahwa Itzaamnaj's second wife, and her son by him was of ruling age. As we understand Elven hierarchical society, there was no reason she should have assumed the Ahwa-ship following her husband's death.
Rumors and legends have long circulated throughout elven society that she was quite the political player, and that her ascension to ruling status was the result of those machinations. Unfortunately there is not proof of this outside of wild speculation, but in most elven tribes she is venerated as a magnanimous and cunning leader.
What comes as probably the largest surprise, and probably most eerie aspect of her life is her disappearance. Circa 2,000 years ago (although the exact date is unknown) she vacated her ruling seat in Tuluk taking her entire tribe with her without warning or provocation. Her disappearance was discovered by a trading caravan from a nearby settlement who arrived at the city to find it entirely deserted. Inspection of the city found that most of the homes and buildings had their belongings packed up as if the entire population had left on some mass exodus, their destination unknown. All that was discovered indicating where they had gone was a single word scratched into the wood of the temple doors that read: Ribalba.
The ancient kingdom of Ribalba has been the source of many elven legends of mystery and doom for ages, and the world being scratched into the door of the temple was enough of a foreboding presence that Tuluk sat empty for almost an entire generation and was perceived as cursed by the elven populace.
Lady Fallingstar nor the people of Tuluk were ever seen from again, nor did they ever return to any known of populated region in Unorrea. It is possible that they integrated into society elsewhere and such was simply not recorded in the annals of history, but none really know for sure.
