Major
Life Events
Early
Life
Iwa
was born on Wontober 20, 23 BI. Her homeland is The Crossing,
the narrow strip of land dividing the freshwater Youbee Sea from
the larger salt water Turhys Sea.
Iwa
was the eldest daughter of Louis, a winemaker and The Crossing’s
mayor. She was raised to take the family business.
Sessa
and the Amethyst Tomahawk
The
last nine Turhys had been frequent visitors to The Crossing for
the previous one hundred years, and they returned to The Crossing
to magically manipulate some of young humans to create their successors.
Iwa and Sessa, the mother of the Vahnrhys, became good friends,
and Sessa chose Iwa to become an Imrhys. Iwa accepted, and she
became one of the First Nine Imrhys. Sessa also gave Iwa the Amethyst
Tomahawk, one of the items of light.
Vampires
Year
1 AI was spent at The Crossing as the aging Turhys trained the
young Imrhys. At the end of Yakuter, a large number of Vampires
descended upon The Crossing. The Turhys were in danger of being
overrun when the Imrhys stepped in with the weapons of light.
Iwa battled hand to hand with Nights’maran, the father of
the Goth Vampires. He was wounded and fled, leaving his children
to stall. The Vampires were soundly beaten that night.
Iwa
married Noi, a young man of The Crossing, (Noon Year 1, 4) and
had three children, two sons – Sota (born 5 AI) and Consiv
(born 7 AI) – and one daughter – Laska (born 14 AI).
As
the years went by, Noi and the children aged, but Iwa did not.
None of the Imrhys did. They all appeared to be unaging, At age
50, Iwa still looked 20. Iwa decided that she had many more important
things to do besides make wine. She left the winery in Noi’s
and Consiv’s hands, and started to travel the seas of the
Achar. Sota and Laska joined her. After several years, Iwa, Sota,
and Laska founded Hunt City and settled there.
As
more time when by, Iwa's immediate family aged and died. She continued
to follow her family line both on the Seefell continent and in
the Isles of Hovde.
Wescon
In
132 AI, Iwa sensed that a new Imrhys had Awakened in the Isles
of the Hovde. She hurried to Hunt City and discovered that her
great-great-great grandson Wescon was the new Imrhys. She took
her descendent under wing and started training him. The two travelled
together for the better part of a century, chasing down vampires
and Dathrhys.
The
Death of Iwa
Iwa
was always a little manic about tracking down Nights'maran, the
Father of the Goth Vampires and the first vampire she ever faced.
Iwa and Wescon tracked down the new home of the Goth Vampires
on Gimlund. They seemingly destroyed the lair, but then Iwa was
ambushed and killed by the Goths. Wescon senses this and is ambushed
as well, but was saved by the magical power of the Amethyst Tomahawk.
Wescon destroyed many of the vampires who attacked him, but Nights'maran
escaped again.
Iwa
was the first of the Imrhys to die. Her remains were brought back
to Hunt where her body was enshrined. Her remains disappeared
during the reign of the Gotts, who tried to erase all records
of the Imrhys.
