Chapter 18: Son of Roma
Throughout history, important routes for travel and trade have traversed the wide expanse of the Great Steppe.
Traders travelled in caravans, their horses, donkeys, and camels pulling carts filled with goods from one end of the Great Steppe to the other.
And it is from this trade route that Mayeux story began
Mayeux is a young warrior of the Brolgadhr tribe. His grandfather is from a different land. He is not people of the Great Steppe.
But his grandfather because of some machination of his family had to hide and his grandfather chose to hide in the vast plains of the Great Steppe.
His grandfather is from what the Ashran people called Roma. And that is why Mayeux had a different kind of complexion compared to his other tribe people
He has olive skin, dark hair and dark eyes. And his high cheekbones and strong jawline, giving him a sharp looking facial feature. And his nose is also quite different
A pointed nose, the Ashana told him. The Ashran wanderer that once stay in the tribe once said that he has the Roma nose.
But he did not suffer alienation by the people of the tribe. This because Mayeux father, Dax, marry a Brolgadhr woman.
And his mother is one of the daughters of one of the concubines of Dramirnova who is the grandfather of Aeryon.
His father's real name is Julian but he changed his name to Jayeux when he assimilated with the tribe
