Brief History :
_she was gone before a start
always mending broken hearts
making others miserable, not
knowing who she's hurting
father said:"this day would be,
one for everyone to see"
is this true you'll follow suits and have
you learned a thing?Born into the high ranking family in the Nars known as the Urmaesyy's. She was the youngest child of Dahniel Uramesyy, One of Atol's chief ranking officers. Dahniel was to blame for most of the old attacks upon Norwick, his children were to be trained to become high ranking officers as well.
His oldest, Tanto, was a fierce warrior who would train all of his free time, murdering anything from animals to hins, anything that got in his way. He had high hopes of becoming one of the stronger Marauders the Eastlander Ranks had even seen. Though this was soon ignored for he was taken hostage in Norwick and still resides in their Jails.
His middle child, Redrum, did not like being hated from everyone across the Narfell landscape. He did his best to try and stay quiet and hidden. His father often beat him with thick sticks when he would refuse to participate in robberies or mass murders. He was eventually murdered by his sister…
His youngest child, Doran, was never loved within the family. She was an unwanted child. Dahniel hated the fact he had a daughter, he wanted three sons to rage war and fight next to him. Most women in the Nars are trained as sneaks for they're bodys are trained to be more agile. The men in the Nars do not see women as signs of power, and thus they are trained as rogues or thieves.
Doran was abused constantly from her father, whom she despised and feared. She was brought to Atol who judged her up and told her father to cease his beatings. She would be trained as an officer of the Nars just as her brothers.
Her father forbid her training, he secretly defied Atol's orderes and kept her within the caves for most of her time. Her mother gave her a small flute to ocupy her time. She fell in love with music and became a Bard to the small Eastlander village in the bowels of the caves.
A largescale attack was ordered to Norwick in an attempt to claim the land as that of the Eastlanders. Atol was present for the battle and ordered Dahniel to bring his three children out to fight. He brought Tanto (age 21), Redrum (age 16) and Doran (age 14) into the battelfield, though he didnt want Atol to know he wasnt training his daughter, so he had an idea, to murder her.
He brought his army to the side of Norwick and scaled a small hill, Dahniel looked out to the city and drew back an arrow. He appeared as if he was going to fire it into the city. To start the attack, though he quickly spun around and aimed at his daughter, letting the arrow fire.
Doran noticed her father aiming at her and was paralyzed with fear, she couldnt move. Her father was sadistic and dark. She always feared him. As the arrow was let out she thought her young life would be ended right there.
Her mother jumped in front of Doran and caught the arrow in her neck, she collasped on her daughter and smiled, telling the girl to run. Her father snarled and pointed to the young Eastlander, ordering his ranks to fire upon the girl instead of Norwicks army. There was a slightly delay though they started fireing arrows upon the girl. All of them missed as she ran into the Nars.
Her fathers army (and her father) were forced to fight the threat of Norwick before the girl.
She ran at the top of her speed and finally reached the land of Jiyyd. She paused at the gates as she was dressed in old Eastlander Marauder plates and chains. She removed them to her small purple tunic and rushed into the gates. She headed to the store, hiding the tattoos and marks of the Eastlanders from the citizens.
She bought a dagger, headed out to the inn and brought the blade to her wrists, in an attempt to kill herself. She could not deal with the memory of her mothers body falling upon her. Her face still stained with her mothers blood.
A pirate, drunkard by nature met her among with several friends. THey all did there best to keep her stable and she began to live the life of a normal girl. She stayed with Drudo in a room that was donated to her. For the first time in her life she felt loved and wanted, until...
_It's just a selfish way to go
it's safe to say she'll never know
for every person there's a whole
life story
waiting to be told
when she is happy it's ok
but when these people start to fade
then we'll just watch her self-destruct as she gets oldHer father found her and told Atol that she ran from the battle, he requested the permission to murder his daughter. Atol granted the permission and he headed off with a small army towards Jiyyd. As they reached the gates he ordered that they head back to the Nars. That he did not wish to start a war with Jiyyd. Only to do what he wanted from the start, kill his daughter.
He entered the gates and headed to the temple of Helm. She was inside, talking to a great friend of hers who slowly became her secondary mother, Elinah Nailo. Her father entered the temple and gripped Doran by her hair, dragging her outside though he started to suffer a small heart attack and was weakened.
Doran removed the asp from her shin and a small dagger which she was useing earlier to attempt suicide and dug both into her fathers skull. She kicked him into a grave and he was burried at the Helmite temple.
Doran was shunned for murdering within the gates and Elinah dismissed her. She was banished from the town for a month or so, living outside the gates in pain. Justine spoke to her and she was eventually let back into the gates. On the condition she devulge secrets of the Bandits to the town.
She lied her way through the secrets, and developed an interesting taste of lies. She started to ignore Elinah and turned to another Helmite, a one Shane.
She fell in love with the Drunkard Pirate known as Garret and become pregnant at the age of 15. The next year was filled with missery and pain. She would not accept help from those who were close to her, instead turning to those who wanted darkness and evil to engulf all.
Garret left her pregnant in the town. He obviously did not care about her well being but isntead just wanted her body. THis left the girl hurt and empty once more. Attempt suicide became a monthly cause for her. Shane and Elinah always were there to help her, though she did not see it.
At the age of 16 she gave birth to a beautiful young girl. Abiie Uramesyy.
She fell in love with a green haired elf known as Eowiel Senella. She moved with her to Peltarch with her as an assassin was after her child and she did not wish to stay a member of this town. She said goodbye to her two mothers, Elinah and SHane and moved to Peltarch with the beautiful elf.
While in the city she spent a good amount of time practicing her bardic arts and training herself to become a good person. She was a good mother and a wonderful friend, or at least… thats what she appeared to be...
_he put up defensive shields
to walk through all of life's minefieds
all defined by make-up and a car behind she's hiding
"father do you have to go,
left me questions, i don't know"
any answers or ever close the life time
lie was trueShe began to love another, a large man with the most wonderful hair ever. A man named simply Talgrath. She also had feeligns for Eowiel at this time though and was torn between the two. Feeling more loss than love in her life she was greedy to have them both, in the end hurting them both several times.
She become pregnant with Talgrath and married him. Eventually having his son, Lucian.
She got into several fights with the city about her Eastlander origin and they had her imprisoned for Treason against the city by wearing Bandit colors within their walls.
She was freed after a few months in there jail and was never the same, resorting to a sort of quiet depression she fell in love with her cuttings once more, being torn between thoughts of who she should worship.
She got into a fight with Talgrath and moved herself and Abiie to Jiyyd once more. Where Eowiel followed her, they eventually bonded souls and she broke Talgrath's heart.
Eowiel and Doran lived together with Abiie for some time, things were going well till Doran fell in love once more, this time to a scrawny ranger named Cherio. She secretly started to cheat on Eowiel with him, though with their souls bonded she could sense it all.
Doran died and Eowiel broke the bond with her. Both of them left with half of their souls remaining. She married Chiero in secret and became pregnant a third time. This time having twins, Elli and Jezerail.
_she's gonna move on with her life
and take it one heart at a time
and watch the little girl inside her
wait behind as she goes on
but with this black heart she decides
who she'll take in and shove aside
until the day she sees that everyone has goneHer uncle and another Eastlander moved into Jiyyd and she began to organize her life. Getting it back on track and focusing on her daughters, son, husband and bardic abilities. She started to try and make herself as beautiful as possible, as to justify her past actions.
Abiie started to show odd signs of darkness within her acts. She started to desise her mother and father and Selune. Doran took her without a word out of Narfell. They traveled north to a certain Sea port and Doran told her to wait by the docks while she picks up some items for her trips.
She headed back to Narfell, leaving her daughter behind. Feeling it was for the best she continued on her way. Eventually returning a few years later.
By this time she was now 23 years old. She entered the gates of jiyyd and regained Chiero's love and trust. She started to parent her twins as if they were her only children, completly forgetting about Lucian in peltarch.
_getting used to people leaving
thinking true love is deceiving
soon she'll know how lonely it can be.She is now still in Jiyyd, a few years older she refuses to leave the gates. As if afraid of what might become of her. She has joined her uncles army known as the Nars Freedom Force, a group of rebels against Atol who are not thought of as a threat in the Nars. THey seek to bring peace between the cities and the Eastlanders.
Those who know her know her as a traitor. Those who love her recall regret and pain. Those who meet her notice beauty. She is an odd, confusing woman, who only longs for a mother that won't leave her.
_now was it really worth the pain?
a couple pills make her feel sane
while she lives out the story
written for the part she is to play
with so much shame for her to hide
there's no more dignity, no pride
then there will only be dark in her light of dayand she will only see a reflection
of her father's rejection
nothing will change until she breaks
this life,
this life size mirror______

Brief History
_So this is life
The normal way
Was there a sign
All through the day
I can't find a sense for living
While the people smile and cry
They don't give a damn about me
No they do not even tryAdell was born into a small village community, never knowing the like of darkness of evil. They were cut off from the rest of Toril in a tranquil habbitat for monks and seekings of calm.
Her mother and father were both monks that did not believe in the will of the gods, they themselves thought they should be in charge of teaching their own people, which they have done for several years.
Adell's family, known as the Keel's, were the head of the villages council, they saught after endless tranquility through meditation and eternal happiness in the afterlife.
Her mother and father saught to become the deity of Tranquility and very well could of been, they were very powerful, the ability to carve a hole through a mountain with their bare fists, though they would never show their power.
Adell was trained to learn of meditation though she could not concentrate enough, when left alone for meditation she would grab sticks and begin to swing them around as if they were katanas.
Eventually she worked her muscles enough to be a wonderful fighter without weaponry and with it as well. Her favored weapon was a thick stick that weighed about 14 pounds, she could swing it with ease and used her opposite hand to counter her training partners attacks.
Throwing them to the ground then bringing the stick crashing down upon their chest, she soon learned many lethal moves, killing over several of the other monks.
The high council thought nothing of these murderes for they were just a step in training, they overlooked them and ignored many.
Adell started to grow a taste for murder in her mouth, she began challening the weakest of the monk in her order to fights, then killing them in a spar.
When she was 16 she was asked to meditate her spirit out of her body to pass through a waterfall, the final test to become a head of the council. She sat with her legs crossed and her stick tied to her back, staring at the waterfall for some time.
Eventually she gave up, standing slowly and sighing. She never learned any of the monkish arts, she only learned deadly kicks, jabs and defensive ways to exit combat.
Her parents were upset and sat her down for a calm talk, though the hatred for being denied a spot on the high council fueled Adell, she screamed and her muscles bulged out. Her eyes became bloodshot and she removed the stick from her back, releasing a rage she was training to control for some time.
With three blows, she managed to remove her fathers head with the stick. Her mother went down quicker as she was trying to restore her husband. Adell took the stick and jabbed it into her forhead. Her mother stumbled back and layed on her back, wincing. Adell jumped up and brought the stick down, snapping her neck…
_s there a God or ss there a solution
Farewell to you I've made this consulucion
To switch off pain when my nerves are torn
My body it hurts 'cause it's old and worn
Cancer eats my limbs intestines and meat
Mortal remains kept by mechanical beat
So you can't help me even if you try
You might think of me please tell me why [/i[/color:9ef77d79bc]She ran away.
She ran from the top of the village community and down to a nearby fishing village. There she met a group that claimed to be seekers of power. She joined with them after a small spar in which she badly wounded one of their officers. They took her stick away from her and gave her a dull longsword instead, it was the same weight as her stick, only deadlier. They bought her a small wooden shield to place upon her opposite hand.
For the next 6 years she traveled with them till they reached what they were seeking, an orb.
This orb was glowing with darkness and was the key to opening a portal to the 6th layer of the Abyss, to let out a demon lord. When the few remaining of the group tried to take the orb, Adell killed them. She killed with such ease and grace that there spirits would probably continue to reach for the orb, now knowing they had died.
Adell reached out and touched the orb, her skin froze with terror and she recalled her hand quickly, wincing. Her eyes flashed imaged of Bane laughing at her, pointing a deadly figner and snarling, leaking a toxic substance.
Though all of these images were in her head, causing by the orbs magics she swung at them, trying to defend herself. Eventually passing out.
She awoke on the floor of the cavern, the orb gone. She stood and looked around, recalling the name 'Bane' in her head for several moments. She wrote it down upon a scroll and decided to look the name up when she returned to town.
The orb, was inside Adell. In her chest, and to this date it still is. Placed there by Bane himself.
Tell me why tell me why
She headed back to a small village that sold the group supplies earlier and she asked the shopkeeper if her had heard the name "Bane" ever in his lifetime. The shopkeeper gasped and handed over a pouch of gold to Adell, begging her not to kill him.
She took it witout question and smirked, feeling this would could be used to bring her more power and wealth in the future.
She began to read about Bane, read about how he became a God and what his teachings are. She fell in love with this image, she wanted nothing more than to serve him, offering if she ever betrayed the diety she would give him her soul.
She began to walk, aimlessly, killing those who stood in her way for the next year. She arived in Norwick and for the first time in her life, saw an orc.
She asked about what it was began to talk to as many as she could, sucking in their culture and memorizing their language. She wanted nothing more but to be an orc herself, beauty and speach meaned nothing to her, she only seeked power.
_Tell me why is existence so dark for me
Tell me why should I come back to life for free
Tell me why do you want me to get up again
Tell me why should I follow the advice of menShe met Zanetar, a powerful Banite cleric and swore her aligntment to his cause, unknown to him she became his private bodyguard, knowing that he is the closest to Bane she will ever come.
She stays in Norick this date, guarding Zanetar.__**

Brief History
Not known to many in the Narfell area is the barbaric tribe of the Stilk. A breed of humans lead by elves who reside the tops of giant trees near the southern sword coast. They reside in a small forest known as the Stilk Meddows by those who live outside of it.
When one enters the forest they are immediatly destroyed by the Stilk army, launching hundreds of arrows from their treetop perches, rarely something alien to the forest can enter and leave alive.
The most common enemy entering the forest are orcs with large wooden weapons. Though their blades are made of strong elm, they still appear to be lethal and sharp.
Mel was born into a tribe that was lead by the great elder elves, upon her birth she was silent. The forest was covered within a magical shroud of silence.
What were the Stilk guarding? Kangaroos.
Mel was raised silent, learning a brief sense of sign language but mainly using her common hand gesture known as "Tee'oel"
Once within the large forest a group of slavers was passing through, lead by an undead lich who appeared foolhardy and insane. He was leading a few caravans packed to the rim with cages from lizardmen to gnomes. All of which were going to be sold in the north.
As they entered the forest the Stilk could sense the presence, a group was sent to preserve their woods. Mel being one of them, they jumped from tree branch to tree branch, swinging from vine to vine. Eventually spotting the caravans silently trugging along below them.
Each Stilk drew an arrow and readied it. The order was given by there commander (a dire parrot) and they fired their arrows. They punctured the caravans and killed several of the guards, a few arrows nailign the Lich within the body.
The lich laughed and pulled the arrows out, his wounds automatically healing themselves, he gave orders to fire the catapault.
A large wooden object was brought out from behind the caravans and a bundled ball of cloth, oil and parts of fallen slaves was loaded into it, they lit the bundle aflame and launched it high into the wood.
Several of the Stilk was hit with the ball and lost their balance on the trees, falling several feet to their deaths. Mel had caught a vine on her way down and swung in, drawing a Kukri from her belt and slashing the lich across the throat, removing his head.
The head flew within the air before it was caught by what appeared to be blood shooting from the bodies neck. It gripped the end of the head and snapped it back to itself, making the body hole again. The lich snapped his neck and grinned.
Mel swing by again for another slash, though this time it was at a guard, removing his head instead, blood was thrown at several other guards who ducked to avoid the flying Stilk.
The lich rose his fist up and nailed Mel in the gut as she went swinging past. She dropped from the vine and for the first time in her life touched the ground. She stood quickly but didnt appear to have good balance, being used to walking thin branches all of her life.
She lich walked over to her and slapped an iron cuff upon her neck. He threw the girl within his caravan and wrote down in the mud "Turn around, we will go around this hell"
The caravan turned around with Mel within a cage. She clawed at the bars, doing her best to try and cut threw them with her blades, she lashed out at a hin in the cage opposite her. He backed as far away from her as he could and gritted his teeth, trying to calm her down.
As they left the forest the hin opened his mouth to speak but noticed Mel was in shock. For the first time ever she heard noises, so many new things that her head was having trouble listening to all of them. She fainted.
She awoke several month later, being kept alive and fueled magically with meals. The hin next to her was gone and she noticed she a painful sore on her arm which held a tattoo and a metal piercing.
She spent the next few months, listening to the chatter among the slaves holding her. She began to move her lip, trying to make the noises they made. Her throat burned with every attempt at speaking.
Ariving in Ompur for a supply of vegitables she managed to use her toes to open the lock on her cage. She snuck out and sprinted, falling down several times. She made several noises and the slave holders noticed her running off. Ariving in Jiyyd she made several friends and learned about love.
She started to gain faith within herself, being used to always having orders she learned she could do things upon her own free will without a chief.
This was her bliss, she loved being in control. But than, the slavers returned.
Entering Jiyyd with the help of several payed Eastlander Bandits the Lich managed to knock Mel out and head towards the Gypsy camp with his caravan.
A group of Mel's friends followed their trail and noticed them stuck fighting the trolls and gnolls. Ginger and Aaimie were taken along with her along the way. The slavers were making a good kill with these sales.
They were ambushed by the travelers and an angry Rick did his best to destroy the lich, he ran over to Aaimie and freed her. Angigar, Mel's new lover freed her, and Mel did her best to destroy the Lich. She removed the magical stones which kept it alive and it burst into flames.
She now lives happily with her lover, Andigar in Jiyyd. Doing her best to help the town her own way.
Though she keeps memories of her family and home on her at all times, she is Mel of the Stilk****_**
