Eurydice Iulus

Eurydice Cornella Iulus was the mother of Tobias, who would go on to become Rah Sham, and the husband of Esau Iulus. In her life, much unlike her husband, was a recluse, preferring the safety and seclusion of her home. She had little friends and spent much of her time coddling and caring for her young son. She and her husband adored one another, Esau finding a breath of fresh air in her soft-spoken voice and her lack of flair. He claimed he knew she did not care if he was popular but cared only that he was a good man and a great father. Eurydice passed in her sleep during the Tahm Decimus and her death affected Tobias the most, behind Ezekiel, believing her to be someone he could have saved, but failed, like he did with Ezekiel.

Early life
Eurydice was born Eurydice Cornella and was the daughter of the Elder Merchant of the Old Tribes of Eker, Uriylus Cornella, and his wife, Wynerva Paudyka. She had one sister, Ethaena, who moved with her to Old Sharam following her betrothal to Esau Iulus.

Eurydice's parents were caring and compassionate, but often her father was very busy with business. Eurydice often found herself attached to old scrolls and texts from ancient times, studying literature and mathematics.

Her father would often return home with texts from far off lands to the north and the great ancient mathematicians and writers out beyond the continent of Askia. She learned many other dialects of Aeric through her father.

Her mother would stay at home and help her daughters learn the texts her father would bring home. Eurydice and Ethaena would also, in turn, teach their mother what they understood. The three became extraordinarily well-learned.

She and her sister grew up with a strong relationship. The two would often spend their days counting leaves, deducing their parents' logic, and questioning the world around them. Even until their deaths, the two of them were best of friends.

Academy days
Once she became of age, Eurydice attended the Academy of Sharam. Her sister followed two years later. There, she met an older student named Esau. Before she graduated, the two were betrothed.

Eurydice sent a courier back to Eker to announce her engagement and decision to remain in Sharam.
