Let me talk a bit about Saahe’s family. His dad is still a bit of a question mark, because yes, he’s a full-blooded drow, but I need to do more research into drow in general to decide where he originates from, whether he’s from the Underdark or not.
But regardless of where he’s from, he met Saahe’s mother way back when she was 23 years old. She’s always been a rather... Headstrong woman, unafraid of breaking the mold or busting the expectations placed on her (or of anything else for that matter). So where most would’ve been a bit nervous upon meeting a drow, she was only intrigued, and regardless of Saahe’s father’s exact origins, she would’ve been the first friendly face he saw in a long time.
Long story short, ~romance~. Unfortunately her parents weren’t such fans of that, and when she straight up announced she’d marry the drow, they openly voiced their disapproval.
Strangely enough, they each died one after another not too long after that! But they were both old. She was their youngest and had seven siblings, so no one was surprised old age would finally claim them.
Now, she’s never told anyone what really happened to her parents, not even her husband, but her children (and her man too), knowing her, all kinda suspect grandparents may not have died so innocently, even if even Saahe’s oldest sister was born after their timely demise so none of them ever met them.
But so! Grandparents still owned their farm. All Saahe’s mom needed to do upon their deaths was make sure she would be the one to inherit it instead of any of her siblings, which wasn’t too hard since all the rest had already established their own lives at various places, and none had any real interest in returning to the farm. She was the only one of the children still living and working there, helping out her parents and whatnot.
She succeeded in that, the farm was now in her name, she successfully married the drow dude, and they had their first child together very soon after because Saahe’s mother is a woman on a mission in everything she does, and at that point in time the mission was to make some tiny helping hands. Of course it’d be a delay of a few years before they’d be any use, but it’s a long term investment!
Don’t get her wrong, she does love her children. However, momma Teren is, above all, a pragmatic woman. You don’t need to pay wages to your children so better to have those work than employed farmhands.
Of course, children also don’t stick around forever, so by the present day with Saahe having set out on the adventuring life, his two older siblings have left home and started their own families, leaving only the two youngest still at the farm.
And about that. Considering the personalities of his two older siblings, Alane and Khaishal, people in general were expecting that they might get kinda adventurous and forego the quiet life. With Saahe, the expectation was that he’d just start a family someplace, not venture way out into the wide world.
That didn’t happen. Alane and Shal are both married with children and perfectly happy that way. Meanwhile, Saahe just kind of took off in lieu of finding himself a partner. Sure, he found a partner on his travels, but that absolutely was not his goal.
