What significance does Nyth Uchel have for Ramsey? He seemed to love the city as much as Hel.
Patricia A. Knight
Ramsey spent all of his boyhood and teenage years in Nyth Uchel and knew the DeHelios family well. They were happy years. As boys, he and Hel maintained an ongoing game of “one-upmanship” that carried into adulthood. When Ramsey’s family lost their estates and fell into disgrace, Hel was one of the few who continued to treat Ram as an equal. When all the rest of Verdantia closed and locked their doors against him, Hel and Eric DeStroia, extended a hand of friendship, refusing to believe the charges against him.
As an adult, Ramsey infuriated Hel when Ram ambushed him, knocked him unconscious and stole Hel’s prized stallion. Though Hel doesn’t realize it, Ramsey did it to save Hel’s reputation. A man found robbed and unconscious in the dirt cannot be prosecuted for rendering aid to a known murderer. Of course, Ramsey would never tell Hel that.
They have a most contentious friendship, but there is little doubt in either man’s mind. Each would die for the other.
