Full Name: Zashated “Zash Orecrest” yn Abinnas el Dimnei
Zash’s Current Life
Zash is 21 years old, born a few years after the Crescent Isles’ rediscovery and raised in the uneasy calm between the gods’ silence and the war with Tethyr. He lives in a modest apartment above the family business in the island city of Ilamora, the Crescent capital. His home smells like parchment, ink, sea salt, and carefully rationed secrets.
Family & Public Work
Zash is the only child of Abinnas yn Kalil el Dimnei and Caltra Orecrest, respected Crescent and booksellers. He goes by “Zash Orecrest” to help hide his identity.
Zash’s parents run Abinna’s family shop, Dimnei & Daughters. To the public, Zash assists in restoration, cataloging, and translation, occasionally delivering rare scrolls to scholars, archivists, and trade guilds.
Zash also runs his own small bookshop called The Stash.
Secret Work (Inkshadows)
Behind the bookshelves, Zash serves as the youngest active agent of the Inkshadow—a rogue network of knowledge-keepers and information brokers descended from the original shipwrecked families.
His roles:
- Field recovery of lost documents or magical items
- Infiltration of Tethyrian-controlled sites, outposts, or vaults
- Assessment of high-value information (truths that could destabilize political or magical powers)
He has no official rank, but his access to the Inkshadow ledger and training from his grandmother Yazmin grant him quiet authority.
Zash usually takes jobs that deepen the Inkshadow archive or expose truth long buried. He is not for hire to just anyone. If he works for you, it’s because you’re either useful or dangerous—and he wants to know why.
