BQ YEAR 202 — MAR-APR 2019
Tiercel was born to Wolfbane and Lepis in Loess, alongside his siblings Gale and Eyas. While Wolfbane and Lepis had many children blossom from their romance, Tiercel was the only one to be born wingless. He spent much of his childhood tolerating his triplet counterparts and feeling like the black sheep of his family. With his parents as strong political influencers in Beqanna, it wasn’t long before trouble arrived in Loess.

BQ YEAR 203 — MAY-JUN 2019
Just past his first birthday, a magician named Leliana created a magical maze of vines and thorns that ensnared Tiercel. As he was caught in the thorns and vines, Tiercel discovered both his self-healing and his empathetic projection. While Lepis and other various helpers attempted to rescue Tiercel, Wolfbane assisted in marching an army into Tephra. Little did anyone know, Gale had flown after his father and gotten caught up in the war at Tephra. Knocked off-balance by the fighting, Gale plummeted into the volcano’s mouth and burned. Tiercel was able to break free from the maze with the help of Lepis and company, but he suffers from survivor’s guilt after the presumed death of his triplet brother.

As his whole family dealt with the death of Gale, Tiercel began to distance himself, learning how to use his invisibility to hide from his family. He started wandering further from Loess and met a mare named Islas in the Meadow, where he practiced his empathetic projection. When Wolfbane and Lepis took their family to Taiga, Tiercel officially broke ties with his family and became a nomad.

BQ YEAR 212 — NOV-DEC 2020
Tiercel spent several years alone in the forgotten corners of Beqanna. One day, he woke up to find himself in Tephra, a kingdom he had never visited before. He narrowly escaped a giant albino anaconda, which became a legendary animal in Tephra, and received a companion animal anaconda from the quest, which felt more like a dream than reality.

Not long after this, Tiercel visited Loess for old time’s sake. There, he met the leader named Oceane, and learned that Lepis and Wolfbane had died not long ago. Oceane offered Tiercel a home in Loess, and he began to stay in the land. While in Loess, Tiercel came across Islas, his old friend from the Meadow. Where Tiercel is full of emotion, Islas lacks them, and this quickly brought the pair closer together. That fall, Islas became pregnant with their child.

While Oceane had suggested Tiercel visit Islandres, she had not told him why. He hadn’t worked up the courage to visit the kingdom quite yet when he had been learning to swim in Tephra and a sudden thunderstorm came upon him. He was carried by the current to Islandres, where he hit his head and woke up the next day to reunite with his triplet siblings. Thinking Eyas was playing a trick on him when Gale showed up, Tiercel attacked his sister. Eyas defended herself by using her possession on Tiercel, then the siblings explained Gale’s self-healing. Eyas left quickly after that, threatening Tiercel as she went, and the two brothers spent time getting to know each other again.

BQ YEAR 213 — JAN-FEB 2021
While on a walk to think about Islas and his future child, the world became dark from the eclipse. Tiercel met a mare named Chasmata at the River, drawn by her soft glowing, and they discussed the darkness. A sudden wind blew across them and Tiercel gained invisible wings from the eclipse’s monsters, though he didn’t realize it at the time.

With the darkness hiding the stars and the pregnancy, Islas became weary. They talked about how the stars have been gone since the eclipse, and Tiercel vowed to find the stars for Islas. While on a walk, Tiercel swam out to Ischia to explore. Once he reached the beach, Tiercel met the Dame of Ischia, Aquaria. The pair met and discussed the darkness, where Tiercel told her about the monsters on the mainland.

Throughout the year, Tiercel explored various places in Beqanna to search for the stars. He went to the top of the volcano, explored Hyaline’s mountain range, and went to Nerine’s cliffs. When he couldn’t find the stars from high up, he began searching lower. Tiercel started by exploring Loess’s lakes. During all of these trips, Islas came with him. While on their way out of the ravine where the lake was found, a collection of rocks formed into a mountain lion monster, which attacked the pair. Tiercel defended Islas, but the monster pushed him off the side of the cliff and into the lake. As he fell, the lake transformed into a portal that sent him to the Underworld.

BQ YEAR 214 — MAR-APR 2021
Tiercel spent the rest of the eclipse in the Underworld. It appeared like a thick forest with trails illuminated by harsh, bright light. While wandering, Tiercel stumbled upon a winged mare being tortured by a strange creature. It had countless eyes and shifted its form at will, and the mare’s heart was placed on a pedestal made out of the black clay of the ground. While in the Underworld, Tiercel was tortured along with the mare by their guardian, who often slowly killed them and then brought them back to life.

When the eclipse ended, Tiercel returned to Beqanna much in the same way he left — he swam out from the depths of the lake and stumbled across a gray stallion named Tarian. He looked for Islas from the beginning, but it wasn’t until he was walking toward the caves that he found her again. Shortly after, Islas became pregnant with twins.

Tiercel attended Icicle Isle’s Midsummer festival, where he officially met Mazikeen (his triplet brother’s lover) and Nashua (his younger half-brother). He was also reunited with Aquaria at the festival, where the pair were able to catch up since meeting each other during the eclipse.
