Editing Kyuad (section)

== 3x3 ==
===Contacts===
* '''Mardo Fintwicz''' - gnome merchant, frequently travels collecting curiosities.  Pays well for magics and favors.  ''The pawn broker''
* '''Maoli''' - Kyuad's mother.  Shortly after he was born, she was taken into captivity to serve as a concubine for an orc leader.  Her captor was a particularly sadistic orc who made her choose between her life or her son's.  He told her he could take her baby, so he could have a new sacrifice to hand over to the legates, or he could take her as his slave for the rest of her life.  She chose to let her baby live, and left Kyuad with her young married niece.  Her spirit worn down by the evils of orc enslavement, Maoli is a defeated person who has attempted suicide many times.  She resents Kyuad and blames him for her current situation, but she is still his mother, deep in her heart.  Her attitude toward him could shift either way.
* '''Valendil''' - The wood elf arrived in a town once while Kyuad was visiting, and requested help with two allies.  Some of the people rejected him, claiming that being an elf in the town was enough to bring death to them all if the legates ever found out.  The situation escalated until someone threw a rock, hitting one of the wounded.  Someone in the town offered Valendil sanctuary in their home.  Barely alive, one of the two elves survived with the help of some townspeople.  However, the other had been injured enough from the rock that she died.  Kyuad was brought in to assist with the passing, and learned some of the elven ways of dealing with death.  During Valendil's stay in this town, Collune got word to Kyuad that there was someone he must meet named [[DURGAZ|Durgaz]], who would aid him in his travels.  Valendil helped Kyuat reach Durgaz.

===Allies===
* '''Collune Rahnvalla''' - [[Collune Rahnvalla]] is a pathwalker and a spiritual channeler who specializes in necromancy and divination, and who is a skilled undertaker.  Collune was a young girl when she met Kyuad.  She was just learning how to serve as an undertaker when she heard that a baby was still-born in the town through which she travelled.  She and her teacher arrived and saw that he was still alive, but very close to death.  Once healthy again, Collune took a special interest in the baby's life, and settled permanently in the village as soon as she had finished her training.  Her divinations lead her to see in him a strong portent for a life of great danger and importance.  Kyuad and Collune share a strong bond.  She has taught him much of what he knows, and supports his quest for knowledge.  She also brings to him warnings and guidance that leads him to where she learns he needs to be.  She and Kyuad are creating a language together called [[Safati conlang|Safati]].  Collune lives very simply, working as an undertaker for Hillbird and other towns in the region.  To the outside world, she seems to have a very average life, like anyone else.  Collune sometimes sends messages to Kyuad.
* '''Yari Merhabaan''' - A skilled artist and student of languages and writing.  An adherant of the Sahi.  Kyuad saved his life's work from a greedy legate, so he owes Kyuad greatly.  He taught Kyuad Colonial and has been working on learning [[Safati conlang|Safati]].
* '''Gilgal Callan''' - He saved Kyuad's life, but at the cost of his own.  Occasionally, his spirit contacts Kyuad and gives him advice, or helps him in some other way.  Most commonly this is through dreams, but sometimes he directly intervenes in Kyuad's waking life as well.  His spirit has become only more devoted to Kyuad since his death, perhaps hoping that some day the two friends will find a way to truly commune again.  Or perhaps he knows something of the nature of Kyuad's existance that others cannot recognize.

===Enemies===
* '''Nashvahd''' - Sarcosan outrider.  He hates magic and anyone who studies the dead.  He especially hates Kyuad because during one of his first assignments as an undertaker, he was unable to prevent Nashvahd from having to kill his undead father.  He was forced to chop off the head of his animated father when he bit two of Nashvahd's fingers off.  The horrors of that moment have haunted his dreams ever since, and the injury has physically marred him, preventing him from advancing in caste.
* '''Gorrie Sander''' - Gorrie was once smitten with Kyuad when the two of them were young.  She had decided that she was going to be his wife someday, and despite his lack of interest, interjected herself into his life whenever she could.  The disruption and distraction this caused lead to a number of problems, each one solidifying Kyuad's distaste for her.  Gorrie decided that Collune must be trying to keep the two of them apart with all the studying that she had Kyuad doing, and set out to kill Collune.  Collune foresaw the dire consequences of Gorrie's plan, and fingered Gorrie as a lawbreaker, resulting in her enslavement.  Gorrie hates Collune with a burning rage, and has now turned against Kyuad as well, since she thinks he chose Collune over her.
* '''Legate Pessiogn''' - As a boy, Diero Pessiogn and Kyuad were very close friends.  Both had their hobbies, and both persued them with unusual intensity.  While Kyuad was focused on studying the knowledge of the living form and how it works, Diero strove to one day be a great legate, and studied the religious beliefs and practices of the Shadow.  They were intense and brooding teenagers, but still friends as fast as ever, when Diero discovered Kyuad dabbling in the use of magic.  Diero became a legate merely because he wanted the prestige of being one who practices magic, and being at his core a coward, he was unwilling to risk his life by thwarting the restrictions against channeled magics.  Infuriated, Diero resented Kyuad's willingness to break the law that he'd devoted so much of his life to, in order to accomplish Diero's own goals.  While truly Diero resents Kyuad for having the bravery to take a risk that he could never take, Diero instead focuses his rage on Kyuad for "taking the easy way, the bad way."  Diero and Kyuad were never friends again from that day forward, but out of respect for the friendship they once shared, Diero has never acted against Kyuad for breaking the law.  He does care for his friend and doesn't want to see him get killed.
===Locations===
* '''Hillbird''' - This is the village where Kyuad, Collune, and Diego all lived, until recently.  Collune still lives there and works as an undertaker for the region.  Kyuad only recently left at her urging, in order to learn more about the world and himself.  The town is simple and small, not on any trade routes, and fairly isolated.


====Language====	
Kyuad and Collune have worked together to create a secret language, called [[Safati conlang|Safati]].  When using written communication, they use this language.  Kyuad occasionally leaves messages for her, written in the dirt, in places where he dwells for very long, confident that Collune is capable of using her Seer abilities to read the messages.

Kyuad's current skill with Safati: '''fluent (3) and literate'''
