Jarihn
Citizen of Tar Valon
Greetings good fellow! I am called Jarihn, although beyond that I'm not
sure. I was apparently born in Mafal Dadaranell, but was raised here in
Tar Valon. I estimate that my next naming day would be my twentieth.
Usually I earn my stay by hawking portraits to passers by, but in bad times
I'm not ashamed to admit I've had to steal to get by. One does what one
must, when one's life is at stake. Anyway, I try to stay pretty far away
from the Tower grounds. It's not that I'm against Aes Sedai mind you, but
they generally don't approve of me, or want their portrait drawn. Instead
I stay in the outer city and have thousands of new customers every day
in all the people who visit the city to consult an Aes Sedai with their
problems. It's a fine line, but generally a profitable one. I can take
care of myself though, been doing it for fifteen years already. In the
process I learned to handle small blades. One of the few Warders
ever to hire me told me that an artist's coordinated hands are best for
small blades, the daggers, throwing knives and short swords. I thanked
him, but refused his offer of lessons, preferring the traditional method
of payment. I have however gotten to be a good aim with a pair of daggers
I carry... for protection only of course. One can't have enough protection
now. Ah well, I've rambled on long enough, and you're probably ready to
be on your way, so I'll leave you to your travels. Unless you want a portrait?
