Introduction
Grasses and trees rustle gently on a breezy August afternoon. Sunlight glimmers off the river flowing through this scene. As the river approaches a populated area, farms begin to appear on either shore. The workmen in the fields stop in their labors to watch as a ship passes, its sails creaking in the wind. The Bright Dawn has returned from its voyage abroad. The year is 1050.
The owner and captain of the ship smiles at another successful journey. From humble beginnings as the son of a shipbuilder in the city of Ryazan', he had enlisted as a sailor for a Rus' trading firm, and had learned the rivers and trade routes from the Baltic to Byzantium, and the Dnieper to the Volga Rivers. With some luck and hard work, he rose in the ranks and became owner of the firm. He now lives in Kiev, where he has a modest estate and influential customers. His name, however, still honors his father and his city of birth: Ivan Matfeevich Rezansky.

Ivan was humbled to be admitted to the Order of the Laurel in 2010 by King Siegfried III and Queen Elizabeth I of Northshield. He was laureled in embroidery, but was also recognized for his skills in "divers arts". His interests include goldwork, lampworking, leather work, research, Russian history, Russian ecclesiastical history and iconography.
