Editing Heywesh Tal (section)

==Character==
===Background===
Heywesh Tal is the sickly youngest son of Marquis Mxura Tal, a Wolf made famous by his countless deeds of glory and brutality.  Mxura's view of Heywesh as a disappointing weakling became fuel for a fire within Heywesh's soul, though one can argue whether this fire has propelled Heywesh or consumed him.  

Heywesh threw himself into the study of the sword and of dueling, becoming a devotee of Tatjan Adrente, Suaven of Duels, though he also gained a passing familiarity with the Falcon Suaven of Willpower, Sutcaq Kahj.  The local Q'val who tended the shrine to Tatjan became both his spiritual and martial instructor.  Heywesh's spirituality, prowess, and respect for the law are deeply intertwined.  More than one Ven was caught off guard by Heywesh's natural talent for the Wolf Demands Territory school of sword fighting.  One in particular ended up falling down a staircase.

Heywesh's mother, Isla Mwrr, realized quicker than her hard husband that Heywesh was going to live to see adulthood.  This insight lead to planning, and her planning lead to Heywesh's marriage to Lura Yvarai.  On paper, it was a good match.  Heywesh was a young Wolf who could wear a sword proudly, but his body seemed born ready for Solace.  Lura in turn was a trained puja (lawyer) with acceptable breeding, but frighteningly sincere smile proved too much for more than one suitor.  To everyone's surprise, Lura and Heywesh actually got along, Heywesh was able to get Lura into serious discussions, and Lura was able to find Heywesh's sense of humor.  The mothers were quite happy, deciding to overlook the total lack of attraction, physical or otherwise, between Lura and Heywesh.  Afterall, attraction is for romance, not for marriage.  And after Lura successfully have birth to a son, Lura & Heywesh also seemed quite happy, though their relationship has continued to be slightly idiosyncratic.

Heywesh jumped at the opportunity to help Gryndel tame the Black Isles, as he hopes it will finally win his father's approval.
