Shathath

Shathath is the ambassador of the Viha tribes to the Kingdom of Zewan-Tal. One late night she arrived outside the fort protecting the frontier town of Denipal in Caemivu Province. She requested to see the provincial lord so that she might arrange a meeting with King Izacar but was told Lord Caemivu had already departed for the capital.

Early Life
Born to the Fith, sister of the influential leader of the power Laozoijiith tribe. Under the peace of the Laozoijiith, she was sent to Meiya where she spent most of her childhood. Amongst the tribe, they claimed whispered that she would be a great speaker and represent them before the Meiyans who had grown silent towards them. Her mother's goal, she later realized, was to distance her from her tribal ways and give her an opportunity to become more than an illiterate forest dweller. Within the halls of Meiya, she was quickly enchanted and the greater part of her was assimilated. Yet, though her mannerisms and way of thinking were firmly Meiyan, she could never escape her Viha heritage, both in the perception of others and her own quiet fascination. Her foreignness forced her to excel and err towards politeness, still earning for herself the nickname "Vivi" in youth among the Meiya.

Yet, it was not long before her graduation, when news came that Meiya had concluded an agreement to hand over stewardship of the Laozoijiith and other western tribes to Zewan-Tal. Shathath felt a deep sense of betrayal and though she completed her studies upon the insistence of her mother, she never felt the same comfort in Meiya again.

Home
When she arrived home, she soon found her self far more out of place with the Viha life style which she was unaccustomed to. Though she put in her best efforts, Shathath lagged far behind her peers and earned the nickname "Juith" (an informal term for Meiyan) among them. Still while many did resent her for being unable to work as they did, she soon proved valuable in negotiating with other tribes and managed to help organize a council on behalf of her aunt.

Zewan-Tal
Still ill at ease with her family however, she quickly accepted the offer to travel to Sennal-Tal in hopes of finding some answers there herself and perhaps prove her value to her people.
