Rare Antiquities

Curriculum Vitae

Her family held a leatherworking shop in Gridiania, which gave her an advantage in starting her shipping company Voiles d'Or. In hopes of growing economically at the End of Days, the company refocused on shipping luxury and magically-charged items securely and safely. Ev assigned bureaucratic lead to a Limsanite, Indrara Indra, and her brother Alexandre Stormaire, thus leaving her free to explore potential trade routes, particularly establishing influence in Thavnair.One of the key aspects of the company is transporting heirlooms and relics that could not be shipped by aetheryte or flight. Over the years, Evonara soaked in the knowledge of aetherial-charged relics and how to handle them and assess their potencies. A fascination with archeology and history ignited her shift from businesswoman to scholar.

Records Vault

Collector

Rather holding than collecting, Ev doesn't excavate for fortune and glory. To reunite one with a piece of their history gives her a sense of purpose.

Objective Valuation

Appraiser

Aside from determining monetary worth, Ev can be hired to analyze aetherial energies of a relic and gauge its properties or dangers therein.

Curio Reunion

Extractionist

Gelmorran heirlooms aren't meant to be passed around the market. She takes it upon herself to hunt these artifacts and return them to their appropiate families.

Leads & Ambition

Though fluent in trade more than research, Ev holds her tangible experience on par, if not more valuable, to scholars of Sharlayan. "Anyone can read a book, but not many experienced what I have." As such, a lack of titles and an accredited degree in the field puts her at a disadvantage that she has never experienced before.Nevertheless, embarking on a new field outside her expertise gives her even more drive to succeed in her ambitions.Ev puts pressure on herself to ensure that this new route and life change is worthwhile to her and those she loves. She finds a thrill in recovering historic heirlooms and strives to expand her knowledge of history and ancient cultures.
