Born on Tarsakh 24 1241 (4-24-1241) in the village of Cronia in the Kingdom of Darkcrest.
The village of Cronia has always been pestered by the fiends and undead that would come out of the nearby Dark Woods.
This never posed a threat to the village, just the sorry townsfolk that strayed too close to the woods.
One day in Eleasis 1240 (8th month 1240), a large uprising of fiends led by a Lich named Thessalar emerged from the woods to take Cronia once and for all. The towns guards fought as hard as they could, but it was a losing battle. Late into the fight, the sky’s themselves opened and a squadron of Ghaele and Aasimars came to the aid of the village. They successfully drove the lich and his forces back into the woods.
After the battle, with the celestial equivalent of adrenaline coursing through their veins, one Eladrin and one Aasimar had a passionate tryst.
The Eladrin was named Sareesh or Sara as the aasimar would come to call her.
The aasimar was Vuronal, a scourge aasimar.
The result of the passionate romance, was a pregnancy. Nine months later, you - Sieva were born.
Sareesh, not of the material plane, would often leave to tend to her sacred duties as Ghaele.
Due to the ever looming threat of the lich and his forces, Vuronal never left Cronia. Instead he swore his services to the village until the Dark wood forces were no longer a threat.
Over the next 18 years, Vuronal would go out at night and thin out any fiend or evil entity that got too close to Cronia.
You would help Vuronal tend the farm during the day.
For the most part, Vuronal kept to himself. Interaction with him was always limited at best. These gave you time to study the world around you.
You discovered a passion for learning and observing everything around you.
Sareesh would visit from time to time, always leaving all too soon due to her duties with an alliance pact the Ghaele’s had with the deities.
You took up a passionate interest in Astronomy. Your mother was from the stars, and you wanted to know everything you could about the place. You wanted to know where you mother goes when she leaves you.
The last visit from Sareesh was no different than any other to your recollection, she wished you well and said “Until next time…” as she always did.
15 years later, Sareesh has never returned.
You would often stare at the night sky for any signs from your mother. Always longing to see her again and find out why she hasn’t returned in such a long time.
Around her 27th birthday, Sieva began to have strange cryptic dreams. These dreams would stir up deep lying emotions of protection within Sieva’s soul. Information was presented in a series of images, feelings, and constellations. The constellations were always almost correct, but the sky that was portrayed in dreams was not the same sky as Etheos.
Over time, Sieva learned to comprehend the dreams, she would find the constellations in the Etheos sky and notice that a single star was misaligned in the dream. The sudden realization prompted her to travel in that direction.
After a short travel, Sieva came upon a small fiend about 2 feet tall with barbed tail and horns. It was feeding on some livestock.
As you approached this demon, it noticed you and turned invisible. An instinctual urge whelmed up within you and a foreign force took hold. This force gave you a sense of where the creature was. You’ll come to learn that this was True Strike being cast subconsciously.
With an extended hand a bolt of fire erupted towards the fiend. A death yelp escaping its lungs before it fell to the ground aflame.
A sense of pride and accomplishment washed over you as you pondered this new found power you possessed.
With the help of your father, you were able to learn that your dreams was a common Aasimar trait that helped them to serve the cause against evil. The dreams were messages from her Angelic Guide.
You learned your Angelic guides name was Mykiel.
Over the next 6 years, you would continue to have dreams and follow them to help rid the destination of whatever evil came about. This never seemed difficult to you.
One recent night, you began having different types of dreams. Constellations you’ve never seen in a sky that was totally new. The sense of dread and fear well up inside you as you dream. You’ve never felt this before. You awake in a panic. Heart racing, panting. In the morning, you share this news with your father, who through much discussion advises you to chase after it. A dream that sends the feelings you described is not a dream to ignore.
You determined through your supreme study of the night sky, that these constellations must be in a different hemisphere than where you been your whole life. You pack up your stuff, bid the village and your father goodby and head to Brasov, the Southern port city and capital of Darkcrest to secure passage South out of Darkcrest.
To “Read” the night sky and interpret your dreams, you will be required to succeed in a Insight check as you look at the night sky after waking from your dreams
You have knowledge of lesser demons based on your knowledge and work your father did. As well as the few years you’ve been adventuring.
