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.<p />
