Deschain Family

Randall and Carla Deschain worked hard, served Semon and Lasanar well, settled down and had children. Those children ruined what probably would have been a normal and happy story.

Cleft Deschain ______________________________________

The oldest of the Deschain children, Cleft was charismatic, adventurous, humble and raised well to be a noble of Lasanar. Despite being good at them, politics and appearances were all just a game to Cleft. His real passion, and his reason for travelling beyond Semon, was philosophy. Convincing his cousin Copernicus to set out with him, Cleft pursued an increasingly maddening but secretive obsession with death. He meticulously recorded all his relevant observations and questions on the matter in a small leather bound journal. Cleft's complete disregard for his life on the battlefield, and his un-noble habit of drinking with his men and commoners predictably lead to a substantial popularity with the citizens of Lasanar. He was even considered a hero of the people. At the battle of Lasop, however, Cleft's recklessness got him cut down by arrows. His death was devastating news to his parents, and his cousin Copernicus found it necessary to return home Atamara to keep the family together and tend to Cleft's funderal. In doing so, Copernicus came in possession of Cleft's journal. No account of Cleft would be complete withouth a mention of his men, the Sevens. Lacking uniforms, but all carrying a number Seven playing card on their person, the Sevens were all farmers and sons of farmers from Semon who had the same burning questions as Cleft. All but a handful gladly followed him to the same end.
