 By the age of 17 Aldrith had begun work on his first work of prose fiction: a dramatic satirical comedy set a century after the initial conquest of Mishi. It follows the story of a cynical but savvy Ni-Kunni slave taken on an Empire-spanning adventure by his idealistic Holder. After saving his master from many humorous situations brought about by the Holder’s misplaced gusto for life and Scripture (often yanking him in wildly different moral and theological directions), both characters reach a compromise between their original beliefs, somewhat reconciling human passion, adherence to Scripture and the harsher realities of the world. The Holder frees the slave upon their return home, who opts to stay in his lord’s service as a free man and continue to help his work of improving the Empire.
-The work, entitled A Grain of Sand (in reference to the Holder’s nickname for the slave, as well a recurring theme throughout the work) took two years to complete and a further year to edit. Though Aldrith received much help from his Etranhi tutors, the original drafts ended being much more satire-heavy to the point where concerns of the ridicule and criticisms of many aspects of the Empire, though light-hearted, could be taken as seditious or even heretical. Eventually the work was published in a much less controversial form, and enjoyed a mild popularity amongst Mishian audiences that bode well for Aldrith’s future.

	The fourth leg took the Oceanbearer back to the Empire to sell the Caldari goods (after some hefty tariffs) and purchasing essential water and food supplies for sale on Mishi itself. They returned home after a week on Amarr Prime, ending with only a small profit due to extra expenses incurred from avoiding the pirates early in the trip from taking time to teach Aldrith about the ship, business, and cultures they met. Still, Tosonit considered it a necessary part of the journey, and his relationship with his son was strengthened. Aldrith himself developed a cosmopolitan and pragmatic outlook towards the rest of the cluster, taking his father’s lessons about foreigners more to heart than the Empire’s general attitudes. With his horizons broadened, Aldrith took these new ideas with him back to the Etranhi court.

		+	Upon his return Aldrith carried on with his normal duties and education, steadily being more involved with the established Etranhi court and their retinue. He was often taken along for the house’s social and diplomatic events, both to provide entertainment and be shown off as a rising star within the court. Aldrith also continued to accompany his father on trade mission intermittently through this period, though these trips lasted only one to three months.

		+	It was during this time Neblaude Etranhi, youngest brother of Bladest Etranhi and Holder of a small rural estate on the outskirts of the family’s city, took Aldrith under his wing and became a moral mentor to him. Neblaude, his wife Efetz and young daughter Felethia, are said to have become a second family to him, though this relationship has been often downplayed due to the prevailing attitude it is uncouth for a member of the True Amarr household to have bestowed such favor upon a Ni-Kunni servant. It is believed Aldrith began growing his hair long in a True Amarr fashion during this time due to the influence of Neblaude’s family.

 Chalna was a professional wind dancer of promising talent with Ny'Stetoh's prominent Karhikez Sandstorm troupe, but dropped out for several years after Aldrith was born to care for him. Though most of the parenting duties fell to her while Tosonit was away, she did resolve to return to her art when Aldrith was of a certain age and her husband could spend less time with his business.
-The couple decided early that they would not expand their family due to the burdens on time both parents experienced from their professional lives. While unorthodox for Ni-Kunni, it was not unheard of, and they left the possibility of having more children to a time when they could be more comfortable. This never ended up to be the case, leaving Aldrith as an only child.

This never ended up to be the case, leaving Aldrith an only child.
 Aldrith was most influenced by his mother during this time, who imparted upon him her love of Imperial cultures and fine arts. At the age of three he began lessons with the leteth, a traditional Amarr stringed instrument that the Ni-Kunni took a special liking to after their incorporation into the Empire. His father also encouraged a burgeoning interest in starships, though this did not fully manifest until later in his life.

 By the age of five his talent for the arts was apparent as he mastered several basic songs before he was to begin formal schooling. He only spent a single year in primary school when scouts for House Etranhi, [[Kador Family|Kador]] vassals and Holders of Ny'Stetoh, took notice and offered to take him into their patronage. Chalna and Tosonit jumped at the chance for such a prestigious and promising position for their son, and he entered their service as a page while he was to be educated as a musician.
-House Etranhi's chief export has historically been the talent and artisanal products of the Ni-Kunni slaves (and later freedmen) it fostered since the family's arrival on Mishi IV. They host a number of schools to teach their subjects varying high and low arts, in return for their continued employment in the family's workshops, or for a portion of their future revenue if independent. As such, Aldrith received a high-quality education, being trained in a variety of subjects by the House's tutors, though it was initially narrowed to music and performance. The heavy emphasis on the arts revealed an even greater affinity for the written word from the quality of lyrics written by him. Steadily he tended to gravitate more towards literature as he began to find more advanced musical training tedious an frustrating. By eleven he was dedicated to this path, though he kept playing the leteth as a hobby and for entertainment to the Holder's court.

 In the meantime, Aldrith's father began falling behind on his loan payments, but this was remedied when he shifted to more lucrative trade routes to the State and Federation. Chalna also returned to wind dancing professionally, further aiding the family from falling into debt, but the specter of financial troubles would later return.

 The first leg of the journey involved loading the Oceanbearer with high-quality luxury goods made by the Ni-Kunni artisans in the Etranhi workshops and taking them to Amarr Prime where more goods destined for the Federation would be bought. Despite his lack of enthusiasm and confidence with the subject, Aldrith learned the basic principles of trade and economics first-hand in the weeks spent securing the goods, with more lessons to reinforce this knowledge still to come.
-When it was finally time to depart, Aldrith was eager for the trip to the Imperial capital world, though his father warned it was to be the most dangerous part of the trip. Arida's size and sparse population makes it a difficult region to police, and its trade lanes are to this day notoriously insecure. The seven jumps through low-security space between Mishi's constellation and the Kor-Azor region was where the Oceanbearer had one previous close-call with Blood Raiders. This trip would prove to be a second.

The ship encountered a Raider destroyer in the Kamih system, narrowly escaping capture after a series of evasive warps and a hasty retreat to the local Imperial Navy station. Though safe, the trip was delayed and incurred extra docking fees from the incident.
 The rest of the trip was eventful, though far less dangerous. They spent a month on Amarr Prime, touring religious, historical and cultural sites between trading goods and maintaining the ship. While he found the cities and sites inspiring, Aldrith showed a marked discomfort with his first exposure to large-scale slavery; Mishi has almost no slaves comparatively speaking with most of the Empire, and Aldrith had been exposed to few up until this point in his life. While on the whole positive, he was marked by the introduction to the decay and abuses evident in the wider Empire.
