Lilithshade
Lilithshade was born on the 21st day of
the second month of Ka'len the Sea Drake in the year of the Crystal
Snow. Her mother and father were happy, simple farmers. They lived on
the outskirts of Leth Deriel. She had two siblings, Larq and Mayren.
Larq was the oldest, Mayren the youngest.
On day Lili woke up with desires to know more about the world around
her. She was tired of hiding among the trees, watching people pass on
the Southern Trade Road. People she had never seen before... Humans,
Dwarves, Halflings, Gor'Togs, S'kra Mur, and the Elothians. She made
up her mind to leave her home... leaving a note under her mother's pillow
she sneaked out to the STR. She met and followed a young Elothian named
Matthic. When he reached the ferry he pointed her hiding place out and
demanded she show herself. Creeping from the shadows, head bowed with
fear, Lili made her first friend. Matthic took pity on her and paid
her way onto the ferry. He showed her around the Crossing; bought her
food and clothing, showed her all the guilds (well one they couldn't
find without risking bodily harm).
After being in Crossing for almost 5 days and many debates, Matthic
took Lili back to the ranger's guild for her to join. There she learned
the art of survival, from foraging for food and herbs, to hiding and
evasion. She also learned how to wield a sword to defend herself and
others. When she hunted she skinned the creatures for the hides to sell
at the tanner. She sometimes found money, gems or boxes on these creatures.
These she traded for money.
Lili found the rangers to be loving and open to new members, she was
given armor and weapons and taught to work her survival skills needed
to live in the woods. She slowly progressed in her skills, earning circles
at a steady pace. When Lili earned the title Wanderer, she headed back
to her homeland to get her first companion... a baby raccoon. What a
wonder! Lili would never be alone again; there would always be her coon
to keep her company.
Lili named her first coon Brommy, loved and cared for her until she
grew to adulthood. When Brommy was a baby Lili spent lots of time in
the De Silveron topiary. It was a nice spot for tracking and foraging,
close to hunting areas, and best of all out of city limits. (One night
Lili was there with her friend Algion when Brommy looked at her and
asked for oats instead of corn! This couldn't be happening, her raccoon
was talking! It was a highlight of Lili's young life. Laughter rang
through the topiary that eve!) If you see her... ask her about it. Now
another Brommy follows Lili, only this one is much bigger. Brommy the
wolf!
When you see Lilithshade on the streets of Crossing today, you will
not only see a ranger... but a wife and mother. Wife of Gyar, mother
to Elvyl (Mother to Yupa and Brom too, their furry kiddo's). |
