The ocean gives to those who respect her.
Rescue of Ming
Kiran found Ming Takida after she washed ashore on the rocky banks of Eventide Bay. She had survived a catastrophic extraplanar storm that destroyed the vessel carrying her and her original family.
Finding her near death, Kiran resuscitated her. The two fell in love, and Ming recognized Kiran as her One. They married and made their home in Eventide Bay.
The Twins and Damien's Abduction
Ming gave birth to identical twin sons, Hestor and Damien. During the delivery, a corrupt midwife abducted Damien and falsely told Kiran and Ming that their second son had been stillborn.
The couple raised Hestor in Eventide Bay, unaware that Damien had survived and been smuggled into Pergrand under the custody of its royal family.
More than two decades later, when Hestor was in his twenties, White Sea intelligence operatives uncovered records of the abduction. Their findings revealed Damien's survival to the Kedanza family.
