Liyrawen the Truthseeker - The clouded path

[JerrickRafe]

Char:Liyrawen the Truthseeker Player : JerrickRafe

Liyrawen is an elf, seemingly like any other.

She's of average height, and has dark brown hair that cascades down her back in a graceful fall when not pulled back with a headband or ribbon.

Her eyes are green, like many elves, but that's where the similarity ends. They're so light as to be often mistaken for yellow, and she has an almost otherworldly look to her, which caused some minor conflicts when she was younger among her peers.

For her, being different did not stop there, either.
The young elf was plagued with nightmares, dreams so vivid that she would remember them perfectly for weeks to come, and she did not have to sleep to see them. They would come to her in reverie, or even while awake.

Being such a spectacle was not to her liking, nor to her mother's, so her mother offered to send her to a friend who may be able to help.
Taking her up on the offer, the young elf made her way to Rashemen, and spent most of her life growing up there, before Narfell.

She was made apprentice to a witch, and quickly picked up magic, having a gift for sorcery. She considers herself an enchantress, not because she's worse at other sorts of magic, but because she prefers it, much like the Rashemi witches do.

The nightmares were examined, and explained as possible visions, the ability of seers and diviners, and she was introduced to the faith of Savras, the All-Seeing, the Lord of Divination, or He of the Third Eye.
She has served him since, and continues to this day.

So it came to be, that there was an elven Rashemi witch, and seeress, which was not without it's downfalls either, as elves were not the most common of sights in Rashemen, but she came to be accepted with time. Then, at the age of ninety, still young and mostly human raised (A few generations of them) , came the greatest changing point in her life thus far.

It came out of the blue, while practicing a minor enchantment spell, when she dropped everything in her hands, and could see nothing of what she was going. Instead, she saw only the vision of a caravan that she had seen pass through often, one she knew well. That image faded, and was replaced with the view of a town, and in that town, a sign. It read "Norwick" and pointed in the direction of a town in Narfell, she found out upon researching.

Seeing no more of the vision other than an image of herself walking away from that sign, toward that town, was enough of a hint to her, and she packed up and left, explaining her leaving only to those who needed to know, and setting off on the next caravan out.

She arrived in Norwick weeks later, and thus begins her tale.
