Chimalli

name means shield. The rebellious son of Asherah and Petrichor.

It's gained quite a following, really. Who would have thought - the pirate-turned-queen and the traveling storyteller. It was bound to be big news all around Starheart - and then all of Silvarum - when they ended up having a child. Chimalli grew up in the shadow of his parents, never quite able to escape his princely reputation, or his princely duties. 

He was quite the ambitious fellow - once he sets his mind on something, or believes something, nearly nothing can change his mind. Persistence, really. Perhaps he yearned for the simpler things - listening to the ocean, or feeling the wind on his fur - to the life he was currently living. Maybe it had been planned out weeks in advance, or maybe it was a spur of the moment choice, like the reckless young viscet he was.

So, just as his mother had resorted to escaping during the night to truly be herself, Chimalli planned a more desperate thing.

One night, he packed a bag, dressed warmly, and snuck out a window of the palace. ...But before he did, he stole one of his mother's old, prized swords from her pirating days. The curved silver blade, the blue gem in the hilt... it was glorious, and in that moment all hesitation vanished. He would finish what had been started. He would become the bravest pirate in all of Silvarum, in Asherah's stead.

Chimalli didn't blame her. Asherah was doing fairly well, despite the circumstances. Random night time adventures... that cloak that hid who she truly was... and abandoning the kingdom to ruin wasn't really an option, now was it? Either way, she tried her hardest, and while maybe Asherah couldn't just run off for good...

Well, the kingdom had been doing pretty well before him. They'd survive his absence.

He sheathed the stolen sword, and ran into the night.

Chimalli is a sailor of the high seas by now, and he knows a good pirate never stays in one place for too long. His mother would never be able to catch up to him, not unless he wanted her to. Whether in the frozen wastelands of the north or staring at the skyedge to the south, he's a constant traveler. Chimalli's seen all the land by now. He looks pretty gruff on the outside, but that's mainly because he's just scared to be dragged back home. He has a very selfless heart... even if it's hard to see.
