Kaveh

Kaveh is a renowned architect from Sumeru. He graduated with honors from the Kshahrevar Darshan School at the Sumeru Academy and earned the nickname "Kshahrevar's Light." His crowning achievement was the Alcazar-Saray Palace. He also restored the lighthouse in Port Ormos and reconstructed the transport and lifting systems there. Kaveh was the first to propose a method for ecologically optimizing space. He was born into a classical family of scholars: his father graduated from Rtavakhist and worked at the Academy, and his mother had once studied at Kshahrevar and was a renowned architect in Sumeru. Under their influence, Kaveh developed an interest in architecture from childhood. His father's fate took a tragic turn: shortly before Kaveh entered the Academy, his father, succumbing to his son's persuasion, decided to participate in the Darshan Tournament. After the tournament, his father disappeared, and news soon arrived of his death in the desert. This event deeply traumatized Kaveh: he blamed himself for his father's death and his mother's despair. Later, Kaveh's mother left for Fontaine, where she married. During his studies, Kaveh participated in expeditions to ancient ruins. During one of them, a collapse occurred. Kaveh pushed two of his comrades from Kshahrevar out of a tomb, thereby saving them, but he himself was slightly injured. After this, many of his classmates, sensing a difference in their abilities, began to doubt the project and abandoned it. After graduation, Kaveh worked in an architectural firm and then opened his own business. He worked hard, saved money, and eventually managed to raise a significant portion of the funds for the construction of the Alcazar Saray. However, during the final stages, the Withering Zone destroyed the almost-completed structure. As a result, Kaveh not only failed to make a profit but also found himself mired in debt (including to Dori). He was terribly ashamed of his financial situation and tried to keep it a secret. For a time, he even had to live in a tavern, where he met al-Haytham. Despite the fact that their views on life were radically different (Kaveh was guided by feelings and ideals, and al-Haytham by rationalism), al-Haytham sheltered Kaveh. Here
