History

Summary

Sir was born alongside Shor and Zen. The three traveled together and grew very close, eventually arriving in the Sa. When they arrived, they took a matching last name, Ef. Sir-Ef and Shor-Ef remained close, but Zen-Ef learned that one of its creators lived in the Lenetae, and wanted to meet him. So, the three set off, eventually arriving at the Lenetae. Zen liked what he saw and decided to stay. Sir was upset that Zen wanted to leave them, but ultimately accepted his choice. When Zen returned with an army of Lenetae much later, Sir, now a high-ranking Sa, stood against him. Sir held against Zen and his allies until the Fai surrendered, giving the Order the power it needed to crush the Sa. Not wanting his kiste to be harmed, Sir surrendered, becoming the Sa Fashi of the Order. He lost faith until he met Ish-Ki after the battle against Checksum. With renewed hope for the future, he stood against Zen, determined to free his kiste from the Order's oppressive rule.

Detailed History

• Sir, Zen, and Shor were born among a large group of nebulisae. They decided to travel together.
• The three arrived at the Sa and took the last name Ef, deciding to stay together permanently.
• Zen learned one of its creators was a Lenetae, and begged Sir to come with it to meet him. Sir agreed, and the Efs set off to find him. When they arrived, the Lenetae nebulis offered Zen a powerful position if he stayed. Sir assumed Zen wouldn't take it, preferring to stay with his gij, but he was wrong. Eagerly, Zen agreed. Sir begged him to reconsider, but Zen refused. Down one member of their gij, Sir and Shor left.
• Sir gained respect in the Sa, eventually becoming Tos Ani, as tensions between the three kiste grew.
• The Three-Kiste war began, championed by Vi-Kara the conqueror. Sir led his kiste through many battles.
• An attack against the Sa brought Sir, Shor, and Zen together again. Zen, now Ze-An, was a high-ranking officer in the Lenetae's new government, the Order. He cracked Sir's core in an attempt to get the Sa to surrender.
• Sir held on as long as it could, slowly weakening due to the crack in its core. When the Fai surrendered, Sir knew his kiste wouldn't be able to defend itself against two others, so it surrendered.
• In ill health and watching his kiste be mistreated under the Order, Sir slowly lost faith.
• Zen-An called for the nebulisae to join the battle against Checksum. He proposed conscripting the Sa, citing their tradition of hunting as a reason why they would make able fights. Mor-Tez, the Fai Fashi, was swayed, but Sir refused. Still, Sir was outvoted, and its kiste was conscripted.
• After the battle, Sir saw two nebulisae grieving over a lost aeki member. Those two nebulisae were Ish-Ki and Gal-Xi. Sir approached them, quickly finding itself impressed by their willpower. They gave it hope, and it decided it couldn't lose any more nebulisae--no matter the kiste--to the Order.
• An argument between the members of the Fashi Klashae turned violent. Ish and Gal, who were visiting Sir, jumped into the fight. Taken by surprise by the interlopers, Mor-Tez was killed and Zen-An was incapacitated. Sir dragged Zen's body to the Center, delcaring that it was going to leave with its kiste, and any nebulis was welcome to join them, creating the Rrer Sa.
