	The bearded ka'hurst edge of the weapon wavers to a long point, resembling mineral deposited by subterranean rivulets over thousands of years. It bears the look of a black stalactite hung from a cavern ceiling -- ancient but perilous.

			Gleaming through streaks of mud, the silversteel axehead is fixed to its darkspine haft by way of a simple but elegant teardrop-shaped eye and then reinforced with dyed vedda bark fibers. Elemental figures appear to be scrawled along the haft in shallow burns, as if its owner took permanent notes in haste.<br />

	Samech A’er-Koreth was born on the 6th day of the 7th month of Moliko the Balance in the year of the Iron Toad, 298 years after the victory of Lanival the Redeemer. As a boy from a rural River Elf village on an oxbow of the Segoltha in far southwestern Zoluren, Samech’s parents encouraged him to learn the great river and work toward becoming a boatswain and piloting his own trade skiff. While spending his youth in the nearby bordertown of Ilaiya Taipa, Samech worked the skiffs to ferry merchants, scholars, magic researchers, and other travelers across the river, where he learned bits of lore and magic theory in the shadow of Ain Ghazal. He developed a talent for the manipulation of water and air currents during his time on the skiffs, and he soon left the bustling trade economy of Ilaya Taipa to settle on the Segoltha riverside as a fisher and raindancer, a shamanistic elementalist performing increasingly advanced experiments in what could be considered fluid dynamics on the frontier.<br /><br />		Samech A’er-Koreth was born on the 6th day of the 7th month of Moliko the Balance in the year of the Iron Toad, 298 years after the victory of Lanival the Redeemer.

	After his youth, Samech traveled further afield to explore Leth Deriel and the other major towns and cities of southern Zoluren, Ilithi and Forfedhdar. Appropriate to his adolescence spent working in the provincial borderlands, Samech feels no loyalty to a provincial authority, instead counting himself loyal to the frontier locale of his upbringing. Likewise, as he later traveled to Shard, Chyolvea Tayeu'a, Hibarnividar, and the Crossing for institutional training in the Warrior Mage Guild, Samech found himself over time in a tense relationship with the structures and strictures of the guildhalls and their leadership. True to his home, his knack for controlling currents of water and air, and the history he picked up on the skiffs, Samech completely eschews fire magic, suspicious of its tendency to tempt elemental mages toward greater (and more corrupt) magical power.
