Areas of Influence: Beauty,
Innocence, Discipline |
Drinlinda Vesun'iel N'Gorathille
is the guardian of innocence, particularly the naive, as well as goddess
of beauty and discipline. She was raised as the beautiful daughter of
the first Evil King of Clan dr'Rhillzznae and lived a fairly
spoiled life as a princess within the dr'Rhillzznae fortress. Whereas
other members of the clan spent their time honing their skills at assassinating
people, she spent her time sleeping, eating, and playing pranks on people.
It was with great difficulty that her teachers convinced her to take
up magical studies. As a result, she was less than competent at assassinations
and was subtly encouraged to find a better profession since she never
did manage to assassinate anyone (or even put in any effort). She left
the dark elven fortress at the extremely young age of fifteen summers,
still considered an infant in elven terms, and joined the Imperial Legion
army as a Legion Mage, a necromancer.
Over time however, she realized that she was different
from most drow, for she
actually had mercy in her heart and didn't really enjoy sadistically
beating up
shopkeepers for protection fees like the other Legion soldiers. One
day when she was ordered to execute a widow and her son, she snapped
and used a power word of death on her commanding officer. She then fled
and lived for nearly two years as a renegade, living in the woods, sleeping
in hollowed out, dead trees. She lived with other rebels occasionally,
and always struck out at Imperial property. One day however, Drinlinda
and a dozen rebels were suddenly attacked at a safe-house by a Legion
patrol, nearly everyone was severely wounded or killed. Drinlinda, badly
wounded, nearly escaped with a teleportation spell to an old dr'Rhillzznae
tomb. It was there that she went into deep sleep for nearly 6,000 years,
never aging nor changing within the confines of a dr'Rhillzznae cold
sleep crystal. When she awoke, the world was different. The Empire was
shattered, the remaining Imperialists scattered across Thera. She looked
back and realized that pure magic had failed her, and began training
herself to be skilled with weaponry and physical combat. Now seventeen
summers old in appearance, though in truth, six thousand
and seventeen summers old, she emerged from the old tomb and began to
increase her power. Eventually, the lords of Thera saw a use for her
and the anger she had towards the Empire.
She was raised as a goddess and learned of honor and physical strength from the immortal Princess Jojain Krull of Dhaes Drae Aesilon. She decided then that the knighthood' that she had so deeply admired before she found out about their cruelty and lies, should be resurrected and the soldiers trained to be 'knights'. She gathered unto herself many of the dark and balanced path, those who knew only how to fight with their fists and blades, and those who also knew magic in addition to those skills. She trained them to fight against the Imperial remnants as well as any who threaten the unity of the world. With time, her compassion, gentleness, and strict discipline towards others pulled her out of the darkness and placed her on the path of balance.
