HISTORY
Born an Evereni on the remote Outer Rim world of Mapuzo, Dravien's early life was marked by solitude and rejection. Abandoned by his birth family under circumstances lost to him, he faced the harsh realities of survival on a world that offered little to the forsaken. His fate took a dramatic turn during a chance encounter with members of Clan Deshra, a Mandalorian clan known for their valor and adherence to the ancient Mandalorian ways. Recognizing the lost and alone child, the clan took Dravien in as a foundling, offering him a new path and a place within the Mandalorian culture.
Dravien's formative years were shaped by the teachings of Clan Deshra, under the shadow of a galaxy-wide turmoil caused by the Sith Empire's brutal campaign against the Mandalorians. The massacre on Mandalore, a dark chapter in Mandalorian history, left Dravien believing he was among the few survivors of his adopted clan. This belief, coupled with the loss and devastation he witnessed, ignited a deep interest in the old ways of the Mandalorians—The Way, the rigorous scholarship of the Resol'nare, and the primal worship of Kad Ha'rangir.
As he grew, Dravien delved deeper into the Mandalorian culture, seeking to understand and preserve the traditions of a people that had become his own. His quest for knowledge and understanding led him to become a spiritual guide and lore master, especially for those Mandalorians scattered by war and the survivors of other clans seeking direction and purpose in the aftermath of their civilization's near destruction.
It was during this period of recovery and rebuilding that Dravien came to serve alongside
