Biography & Lore
The youngest daughter to a clan leader in The Spine. After a long conflict she the orcs they warred with finally won out. Taking his daughters captive they beheaded Ferelith's father and at the tender age of 13 she was a slave. She grew up being beaten, raped, and worked to death watching her sisters being served the same dish as well. Soon the middle sister was dragged away from the slave pit and was never seen again. Worried she would lose her last sister and being fed up with the abuse they toiled through everyday..Ferelith's oldest sister Kyla hatched a plan to free them. After they escaped the sister now 19 and 16 made their way to Elbion. Having no real skills or trades they soon fell to more crooked methods. After mugging a noble after killing his guard they were finally caught. Cooling their heels in an Elbion prison awaiting execution a mysterious woman came to them dismissing the guards.
Each was given a choice. Life or death. Looking back on it Ferelith would have chosen death had she known what they had in store for her and her sister....They were working to create a magically enhanced solder, They felt no pain, showed no fear, no mercy, and held no regret for their actions. The process itself was quite trial by error, thus they needed meat to replace every failure, and there were many of those.
Finally her and her sister caught a lucky break. After a particularly nasty round of experiments they were both though to be dead. They woke up in different parts of a covered wagon as it rolled form the college. They made their escape when the man stopped to dump the bodies slipping from the back of the wagon. After this it seemed at least some of the goals of the experiments had left them with various talents they had not previously possessed, and while not invincible fighting force the college had imagined they were still quite formidable. Using this to thier advantage they soon had quite the reputation as bandits, and mercenaries.
Her older sister bearing an exact match of her own tattoo except in red soon came to be known as The Red Wolf and Ferelith known as The Blue Wolf. Togehter they carved out a life together. Always looking for ways to make ends meet and scrape by by any means necessary. By the time Ferelith turned 18 her and her sister had finally made enough to buy a large house and a forge. Having been taught by their father Kyla was quite the blacksmith and soon they had customers for her skill in repairing tools, weapons and armor as well as exceptional blades and tools of her own making well worth the price she asked. Soon at Kyla's request they started utilizing the large amount of space the manor offered and began taking in orphans and teaching them to smith, farm, and raise animals, and the forge became where Kyla lived more and more with her constantly working with a loving zeal for her work.
Soon Ferelith began to grow restless as the need to rob and cheat became less and less needed or even accepted as Kyla began worrying about what influence her sister may have on the children that passed through. After an earth shattering fight Ferelith strapped on her claymore and left to carve out a life for herself how she saw fit.
