My History

Today I came across a scroll with Yoda's history written on it. It was fascinating to read about my friend/teacher and all that he had gone through. Which made me think that my story should be written down as well. So here is mine ... (a work in progress)

I, Kati Evans, was born to an Ubar of Rarn, a great and noble man. It was among the walls of his city that I spent my early years growing up among guards who protected me, servants who took care of me, and teachers who taught me the ways of the blue caste. Those early years were happy years.

I have no recollection of my mother from those years, who in later years I was told that she was of the blue caste who had gone to dust when I was very young. That is all I know of my mother, Father does not like to talk about her. You can see the pain in his eyes when I ask about her, so I long ago ceased.

Ask about my blue friend is you dare.

There came a great upheaval in the land when war came to Rarn. So when I had yet to reach my full height Father sent off to continue my training in the best school in the land far from my home. At school life was all about scrolls and learning, discipline and structure with little time for anything else, yet I missed my father and home.

After school, I was sent to the scribes in Fina where my brother, Kama Seminario lived, and he became my guardian. My brother companioned, and they had a lovely little girl. Then when his companion and baby girl were killed in a raid, my bother became grief-stricken he left Fina. Sometime later a man came to Fina looking for me with his belongings. Kama’s friend told me he was asked to bring them to me by my brother as he was dying ... and that he had gone to dust.

While there in Fina, I worked for the Chief Scribe until the High Magistrate noticed me and elevated me to the position of magistrate there.  He saw that I have been blessed by the Priest Kings with high curiosity and an uncanny ability to walk into the middle of people fighting, ...once or twice with swords drawn, and to talk them down to a more reasonable way of solving their disagreement.

For a short season, I was the High Magistrate Kael's companion. Then when he was lost in a raid, I found myself serving as High Magistrate, sitting in judgment for a number of cases therein Fina working way to many hours.

One day my father, Ubar of Rarn, came to Fina to see how I was because word got to him of my brother passing. Then upon his arrival, the Ubar of Fina would not even acknowledge his presence; this made my father so mad that he left the city within the hour with me in tow.

Upon arriving in Rarn he placed me in the position of High Magistrate and I picked up the duties I had performed for Fina on a bit slower pace. Once during my time there, a man did ask to court me; however, the city was attacked and fell in the month-long battle. Few of us were lucky enough to escape with our lives.
Rarn, however, was not so lucky becoming nothing more than rubble. Now I found myself without a Home Stone or a family. Did they survive? I did not know. I wondered for a time from city to city, providing service where I could and traveling with caravans to new cities when I could find safe passage.

Eventually, this brought me to Abydos and I was once again my work as the magistrate was recognized and I became their Chief Magistrate. Here I found a place of rest and happiness I had not known in some years. I lived in a free woman's house with others and was rarely alone or lonesome. It was here to my great joy this is where “Father” found me and then later adopted me. That is when I became Kati Beattie.

One companion of my father said of me,

"Of the Blue Caste... a talented Magistrate. Don't let her quiet and shy demeanor fool ya. She's well spoken, well versed and loved by her father and I."

She was right, being a magistrate runs in my blood, to stop breathing would be as easy then to stop being a magistrate.

The man I call Father, was the retired scarlet commander, former Ubar, and captain. He had acquired two merchant houses and was a merchant of great wealth. Along with his companion, they ran the now combined merchant houses together with the family and others. Father moved us to various cities and depending on the cities needs I worked in the position of magistrate or high magistrate for the city we were in. You could often find the family within the city walls of Turia running the merchant house, where the itch in my blood was too strong that I became a magistrate once again.

Father has gone the way of dust and I found myself alone and traveling once more. From town to town never finding rooks always heading north toward the Home Stone and town I had loved. Along the way, I went back to my original name for they did not know of the Beattie family in the north but some might remember Evans. So after wearing out a couple of pairs of shoes and odd jobs along the way I finally crossed into the gates of Svago. I am hopeful that I have found a home once again. Only the passing of the hands will tell where life will take me now.

Take it all With a Grain of Salt…
