Things people don't know about Ieri i Kalamar i Guerra

Things people may not know and may not even think to ask in the game about Ieri.


  • Always keeps the knot in the tagelmust on the battlefield. Knew too many who died in battle because their tagelmusts came undone.
  • Always wears a tagelmust when other people are around. Does Ieri have hair? Ey never told me, the player, if ey did.
  • Always carries Antimedes' token tied to eirs. Antimedes died in battle at Winter Solstice 382YE. Ieri had strong feelings for Antimedes.
  • Always carries the toy llama with its beaded necklace. The necklace and toy originally belonged to eir Kittens, Aesha and Temes.
  • The skull beads mala. To represent Ieri being draughir.
  • The purple, white, and green crochet bag. To represent eir genderqueer/non-binary gender.
  • The rainbow crochet bag. To represent asexual panromantic polyamory.
  • Always keeps the buttons on shirt buttoned up, else that part covered. Because the makeup eventually rubs off.
  • The faceted glass rainbow of beads, the tasbih. To help the player manage anxiety by way of fingering them for affirmations work.
  • Originally named Ieri i Lezaris i Guerra. Became Kalamar when contracted marriage with Policarpo and Calixto, who were Aesha and Temes' birth/genetic parents.
  • Has a younger sister named Turi i Riqueza, who became kohan.
  • Wears a silver and greenstone ring. Originally, it belonged to the player's mother; but the player wears it because it feels too weird not to wear a ring on that finger. In game, it was the wedding contract ring from eir spouses.
  • The black spiral red velvet gauntlets. Are a friendship gift from Antimedes; Ieri would stroke the gauntlets in his presence to signify an embrace, as Urizen don't hug outsiders.
  • Ieri is left-handed. But the player's left-handed writing is too slow to use in the field and tends to be backwards/mirrored, so Ieri is played as left-handed ambidextrous.
  • Ieri nearly drowned and gets seasick on ocean voyages. But out of Loyalty to Family, goes out anyway.
  • Ieri's draughir heritage manifested after the drowning.
  • Ieri is fascinated with Urizen llamas. Ey managed to entice two of them to follow em back to the Brass Coast. Their names are Brownie and Misty; they are sentient and they seemed to respond to Ieri's draughir/Winter lineage.
  • Ieri was born in Anduz, Segura. Ieri and eir parent fled Segura to escape the invading Lasambrian Orcs when the barbarians invaded decades ago. They lost contact with the remaining Lezaris Family, including Turi, until this year (383YE).
  • Ieri dances Atalaya Tribal Style. As does other members of the Kalamar Family.
