Description
Despite his true age being much younger than one would expect, his sandy blonde colored hair has already begun to grey along his temples. He leaves it at a length that always leaves it with a perpetual tousled look. It suits his features best, from his blue eyes and to the angular shape of his jaw; which also sports a varying state of ‘shadow’ scruff, depending on when he last shaved. Lean in build, he’s no stranger to hard work and it shows not only in hint of muscle, but the roughened look to his hands.
He wears sturdy clothing that benefit him both for Igen’s harsh climate and his work. Keeping to sombre and neutral colors, it’s rare to ever see him dressed formally unless the occasion calls for it. Almost always, he wears various pouches and tools attached to his belt or has a rucksack slung over his shoulders. On his shoulder, a Journeyman knot is pinned with Igen’s colors, as well as Herder’s threaded through.
Common Knowledge
- Has been around Igen for a few Turns and has built himself a reputation as a skilled beasthealer; he’s often sought out by the Bazaar families
- Focuses mostly on runners, but also knowledgeable in burdenbeasts and draybeasts; this makes him somewhat popular with Traders too
- Tends to keep to himself outside of his work, no one really knows what he’s up to
- There’s rumors he’s tied to some questionable things (a certain Bazaar family, in fact) but he denies it if pressed…
- Despite this, he’s approachable and quiet tempered
- Oddly, he’s greying prematurely, something that amuses him more than anything
- He has his own runner, a stallion
NOT Common Knowledge
- He does frequent some of the shadier establishments in the Bazaar from time to time…
- … in fact there’s a whispered rumor he’s tied to the Akzhan in some way

Runners
As a Journeyman, Tzajal has his own small breeding project. He's currently working on improving a few bloodlines for endurance and other traits fitted for long journeys in the deserts. By happenstance, his latest successes have yielded flashy metallic-sheen coats and light colored eyes. It wasn't expected, but now he's looking to cultivate that as much as possible without weakening the bloodlines and with marginal success.
His work tends to favor use of runners either full-blooded or crossbred strains of Hill Runner, Plains Walker, Keroon Barb and Gar Sheenbred.
| Deimos | Coming Soon! | Grey coat holds a metallic sheen, more silvered than the more prized gold he was bred for. Even as a stallion, he is very friendly and placid, making him excellent for most riders with experience. Intelligent and with obvious leanings to speed and endurance, he is often used in racing. His conformation is good, though not the flashiest of the bloodlines he's come from. |
|---|---|---|
| Iapetus |  |
A well bred stallion of slightly above average height and decent in conformation, his white coat is kept meticulously clean unless he's recently in from travel or paddock. His build speaks of speed and endurance, a perfect steed for long distance riding and through most terrains. One obvious fault is his temper and it's not uncommon to see this stallion display many a warning signs before acting aggressively towards the unwary. |
| Taver |  |
A yearling stallion, his carefully selected lineage shows clearly in his confirmation. His white coat carries the same metallic sheen as his sire, with stunning blue eyes to complete his flashy looks. Mercifully, he has more of his dams personality and does not outwardly display any flaw in temperament. |
| Tethys |  |
Well balanced in confirmation and movement, he is a good looking stud despite his more common coloring. Grey coat is unmarred by any white, though his shoulders carry a blood-rust red dusting over them. Blue eyes can lend a kind look, but there is an unpredictable nature lurking just beneath. |
History
Tzajal was born to a small cothold on the edge of Benden’s territory nearest to Igen’s. His early life was rough, as they were not overly prosperous; a few hard Turns when he was a young child saw further decline in his family. It was not all doom and gloom and despite his family struggling more through his younger Turns, he persevered and overcame it.
Fate would have it that a visiting relative (an uncle and Journeyman no less!) saw enough promise in young Tzajal and offered to ‘sponsor’ him to go study at Herder Hall. While it would be the first time he ever left his home, he was still young enough to be swept up by the idea and, with his parents blessing, agreed to the offer.
The next few Turns passed in a whirlwind. Tzajal excelled at his studies and adapted well to his new life in the Hall (despite a few hiccups; but he doesn’t talk of those). Slowly but surely, he rose from Apprentice to full Journeyman and it wasn’t long after walking the tables that he was given yet another offer…
… and one that would see him reposted to Igen.
From forests to green hills and meadows to the harshness of the desert, Tzajal has called Igen home for some time now and, so far, has no inclination to leave.
