Evet Polchina

Evet Polchina was a master of the Clocksmiths' Guild of Zhaö.

Appearance
At the meeting with the Corazhas, Evet was "older than Mer Halezh and showing a clocksmith's crouch: even when he straightened from his bow to the emperor, his shoulders stayed hunched." He had "a beatific smile."

Personality
Evet seemed delighted to talk about the bridge and answer any questions about it. He was also encouraging to Maia Drazhar.

Life
Evet, Halezh, and Avro Halezho represented the Clocksmiths' Guild at the presentation. They brought along with them a functioning mini model of the bridge as planned to demonstrate for the Corazhas. The three answered questions from the Corazhas while the model worked. The idea was later approved, and called the Wisdom Bridge.

Skills
Evet was a respected figure among the Corazhas, and his presence reassured them that the bridge was not a cloud-fancy.

Avro Halezho and Mer Halezh
Evet was Avro and Halezh's apparent superior. They worked together to present the bridge idea to the Corazhas.
