Faile Bashere
Faile Bashere was a young Saldaean noblewoman who abandoned the estates and ledgers of House Bashere to hunt the Horn of Valere, following its trail toward the fallen lands of Manetheren.
Faile was Saldaean, with the blood of House Bashere in her. The life she was born to ran on rank and routine: estates to oversee, accounts to balance, a family name to keep in good order. It was a solid inheritance, and she declined it; she took the road instead.
The quarry she chose was the Horn of Valere, and hunting it was less a pastime than a whole way of living. It meant leaving home behind, keeping to a trail rather than a schedule, and following that trail wherever it bent. Hers bent toward country that had been Manetheren once, a long way from Saldaea.
She was young to be so far from her house, and she was there by her own decision. Nothing about her situation was accident: the quarry, the distance, the direction were all chosen. Whatever the daughters of House Bashere were raised to become, Faile had made herself a hunter.
