My name is Tsarenzi Muinoskyl and I am S'kra Mur of the Ranger's Guild. Not a common guild for a lady S'kra, from what I understand.

I was born in a small village deep in the forest, but I lived there only a very short time. The village was destroyed while I was still a very young girl. Many of the surrounding villages had also been destroyed. I travelled through the forest from town to town, looking for food and shelter, but there was no room; the other survivors has arrived before us. So we continued on to the next.

Only I had survived thus far. Sometimes I travelled with other survivors from my village, and sometimes alone. The travelling life was not easy, and things didn't seem to be improving. It was a time when the S'kra were not viewed in a kind light. The memory of the Dragon Priests' atrocities was still fresh in the people's minds. Even at such a young age, I was a follower of Peri'el and against much of what the Dragon Priests stood for, but I was judged in the same light as those of my people who had actually committed the crimes. And it became harsher the closer I got to the Segoltha and the Province of Zoluren.

Eventually, after being turned away at every stop along the way, I reached Crossing. It wasn't as big then as it is now, but I had never seen anything like it. I felt so alienated, and lost. The only thing which I was accustomed to seeing was a big tree that was barely visible over the tops of the gigantic buildings. Naturally, I headed towards it.

When I reached the vicinity of the tree, I found that it was in the grove of the Ranger's Guild. Kalika took me in for the night. She gave me a bit of food and a place to sleep on the floor. Early the next afternoon, when I finally woke, I discussed the guild with her. Just minutes later, I was a new Ranger.

I finished growing up in the area surrounding Crossing and finally became used to its busy and crowded streets. I made many mistakes, and snooped everywhere. I travelled about to the nearby cities of Leth, Haven and Langenfirth. I also visited Shard when the gondola reopened at my fifth circle.

It came to happen that I was adopted by a halfling bard named Songfire and her fiance, an elf with shifting guilds named Erkaine. They also had a little halfling daughter named Teminesca. Mother had a big family, and I haven't met most of them yet, but I loved all those I have. Mother and Father separated, and Father become intolerably irritable. My best friend mysteriously disappeared after the first festival in Shard.

Somehow, I survived. I spent a lot of time with my adopted mother on the Jadewater lawn as she mentored, and occasionally I would hold games in the Crossing of my own. I was overjoyed at my acceptance as a mentor, shortly after one such event, which leaves me where I am now.
