DESCRIPTION
Very tall, even for a Shoanti, with a tanned and sun-worn complexion, Noche’Wa is a mix of traditional and city upbringing. He is strong and lean, but somewhat softer from his time spent in cities. Muscular, and hairless, he walks with a proud demeanour, his eyes flashing defiance to the city dwellers, while with his companions, he shows more restraint, humility even, and through his eyes one can glimpse at the idealist, the carrier of a message carved deep in the blood-stained sands of the Cinderland.
The tattoo etched on his skin show a Cinderland mouse jumping over the heavens, with runes of perseverance, hope, and peace.
His thick voice is somewhat dull and slow, aa Noche’Wa takes his time. He likes to think before he talks, perhaps because of the fright he often stirs in people’s hearts.
He favors dark brown tunics of leather or thick wool, cut at the shoulder to allow fluid movements. Over these, he wears a long sand mantle hiding him from foes and protecting him from the weather. His longspear is adorned with a single eagle feather near the tip, while a knife and a whip hang on his hips.
BACKGROUND
"You're a bloody fool, but I'd lie if I didn't admit life here will be much easier without you around." is all he got, as far as encouragements. He did not care really, for the voice of the fallen, the burned, the slaughtered, the drowned, the raped, the impaled, and more, had screamed enough. In some strange way, his voice now was theirs, and they didn't scream for revenge, but peace.
It had taken a year of dirty politics for the council to grant him the status of envoy to the court of Belkzen, and three dead emissaries, for the said court to send the emissary back not only with his life, but with an edict granting him safe passage through the Hold and an audience with Tulluk Clovenface of the Haskodars.
Born a Shoanti of the Shundar Quah (Spire Clan), Noche'Wa turned orphan at the age of eight, when an Orc raiding party attacked his village on a moonless night. Strangely enough, he survived the raid thanks to the mercy of one of the raiders, who spared and hid him for the night.
He made it to another village, where he sought out his uncle Paldir Dance in Sand, who spent half the year in Korvosa, performing as a Shoanti wrestler for the rich and uninformed crowds. He followed his uncle to Korvosa and back, helping with the performance. The way Korvosans looked at him reminded him, strangely, of the way he looked at Orc raiders. So much hatred rises from misunderstanding the ways of one's land.
He got his Shoanti name from his uncle, who roared with delight every time Noche'Wa would pull a new trick from his sleeve and send his opponent rolling in the dust. 'You remind me of this wild mouse I was hoping to eat, always evading me! It made me laugh so much I decided to let it live!'
As the years passed, Noche’Wa developed his understanding of the land and its ways, and he felt a connection to the land grow within him. Another few years, as he traveled through Varisia and visited Trunau in Belkzen, he thought he could make sense of the connection. He could hear the voice of the land, of its dead. They wanted peace.
