Biography
|
Ottis Penderghast was born in the year of 640 to Joana, and Cythia Penderghast in the small villiage of Cornith. Where he lived for the first ten to twelve years. His father Joana, was a simple miner and his mother a seamstress making bedding for those who lived in the village.
This was all before the plague hit, and two years after Ottis was born he was there as his mother gave him a sister and a brother, Lillia and Luke. Twins... and then a year after that he got his youngest sister Crystal. He became the protector of them all, though Luke helped as he grew up too. When Ottis was old enough he helped his father in the mines, mostly pushing the carts of ore. Though at first it took him and a few other lads his own age to move the carts due to the heavy weight of them, but as he got older and grew so did his strength to where it took less and less children to assist him as they were soon hauling their own carts. Which helped production as they were loaded on beasts of burden to be then taken to the smithies to be smelted and crafted into useful ore.
From the year 651 until 659 Ottis worked the mine with his father, but unlike his father and younger brother who also worked the mines. Ottis found more enjoyment in learning the process of crafting as he'd take the raw ore to the smiths and watched them and by the time he was Eighteen he told his parents that he wish'd to apprentice to the town weapon smith and while they weren't exactly happy he wasn't going to be a miner, they were happier that he chose an honorable profession, So that very day Ottis asked and was accepted to the town smithy crafting weapons and other useful things for the village. His two sister took up professons of their own. Lillia took up work as the wife of the millers son, She was married at the age of sixteen. Much latter Crystal, the youngest and the one Ottis was fond of the most took up with the weavers guild, like their mother and produced some of the finest works in all of Cornith.
Then after nearly twelve years of hard work, Ottis world shifted and changed forever as word of a plauge, in the year of 673 had reached Cornith and while Ottis, Joana (his father), Cynthia (his mother), and Lillia and crystal (sisters) all managed to flee to Equis safely they learned that Luke had succumed to the plague and died. It was a very sad day for the family as they couldn't attend his funeral as the body had to be burned.
Ottis now at 33 and having learned a lot as a weapon smith, started up a smithy in Equis with the funds he saved from Cornith to help support his family. Lillia and her husband were able to find homes of their own and start fresh as they opened a rival mill and together their skills far exceeded the local miller but with abundance of gain to be processed neither side hurt much with the competition. Crystal and their mother, joined the local weavers guild and helped teach and learn new skills and techniques of stitching and in that way enhanced the quality of clothing in equis. Joana started to hit the bottle as there was very little need for an experienced miner in Equis and felt useless.
Though Ottis knew his father enjoyed to fish and after a year, or so of looking and talking by now its the year 674 and winter, but Ottis managed to find his father work on one of the local fishing boats as they'd lost a crew member but as it was winter they didn't go out much but come the seaon they'd call upon his father, which when told brightened up his spirits as he hated to live off his son's income. But Ottis not having a wife of his own, even at his age, felt that while he was staying with his folks it was only fair to help as best he could and his father reluctantly accepted that fact.
By 675 (current) Ottis still works at his smithy in Equis producing some of the finest worked weapons in the realm.
