BIO / BACKGROUND HISTORY:
I recall clearly the day I was ripped from my home and forced by dire circumstance upon the ship headed for Mardrun. Although I was very young, I left a part of myself in that home, with the mountains and heather and polecats and all other life with which I’d been woven.
Yet, that tragic crossing also led me to Liliana, and to others who would help me hone my craft in the next several decades.
I did not have the luxury of formal schooling or magical tutelage, but I had the privilege of learning from the gifted people in my settlement, and those passing through. I watched my mother and other Io’larian folk. I listened to travelers in the flicker of tavern light, generously providing me their insights. Liliana and I eagerly swapped knowledge, enticed by the foreignness of each other’s skills. I learned of working with ritual, song, Saints, Gods, spirits, pain, and the land. I did not connect with all of these methods, yet I drank up every piece of knowledge I could.
I have developed an inkling that people are only scratching the surface of their own potential. They are held back by rigidity, shrinking away from true power and the mysteries that come with it. They have witnessed magick beyond comprehension – on Faedrun, and now on Mardrun as well – and they will not allow themselves the possibility that they could tap into it the very same.
We must break ourselves free of these mental bonds if we stand any chance of driving back the undead scourge and reclaiming our lands. Liliana and I have sworn to grasp the threads of our own power and follow them to their truest conclusion.
