Lathalas Bloodworth

Lathalas Bloodworth Brywraek (Thana's mothers' last name was Bloodworth)

(Neutral Elf Fighter that works as a Politician.) He is missing or dead, she’s not sure.

What Happened Before Thana A week in Spring 7975 → The only time Thana and Asher ever spent actual time with their father
 * Her mother Mara was a traveling performer
 * Her troupe was hired by a royal court (whatever court works, tbh) to perform for visiting politicians in 7970
 * Lathalas (was 353 years old when he met Mara, would be 379 now), an Elven diplomat, took a fancy to the woman
 * That next spring (in 7971), Mara wrote to him from her home in Alkoth about Asher and Thana, the result of one of their nights together

he was against the continued war with Kelnys, partially to protect his family and when that broke bad he was imprisoned for trying to warn Alkoth and Kelnys about the imminent attack

so you didn't know much about your father before you were taken into the military. the army would've told you he was a traitor to sadian, but that he shouldn't be a problem

so about 60 years ago there was a military coup that put Commander Zeth Attli into power. the coup was because the old leader of Sadian wasn't doing his duty to protect and care for his people and was letting them starve while he lived in luxury after a famine that had decimated parts of sadian

Commander Attli wanted to use resources from kelnys to keep the people of sadian alive and she also wanted to set up a political system to help care for the people better.

the key  unlocks the enchantment of Asher (abjuration magic)  is to something to do with her father's imprisonment, that Jheri gave to her because she knows about Lathalas' imprisonment
