Biography & Lore
Reda was born in the Kingdom of Nordenfiir over 20 years ago in an isolated village called "Sonneshield", A desolate place with little to offer save the warriors and raiders born from the harsh arctic climate. Her father, Erik Sunshield, Was the Jorn of this place and master of Clan Sunshield, Who raised his sons and daughters like true Nordenfiiri warriors.
Whereas most of her siblings grew up to be stoic warriors and renown mercenaries content to stay in Eretejva for the rest of their days, Reda was always known as the rowdy and troublesome little sister, Always staying out too late exploring or hunting, Bugging the raiders and sailors for news and tales of lands beyond.
Over the years, Her siblings began dropping one by one whilst fighting for other Jorn or in the violent storms that plagued the coasts near her home. With each death, More attention came to Reda who would be groomed as a potential heir to her father's title.
Nevertheless, The rebellious young Reda would never be content to stay put on the rocky shores of Sonneshield to inherit the decrepit village whilst her brothers and sisters fought for their own glories elsewhere, And chose not to return from The Path.
She instead sailed southward to Epresa and sold her skills for coin and supplies while studying the new world she found herself in.
It was during a tournament in these strange new lands that she met Liadrin, The one and only person to capture her heart and the first of these outlanders to earn her respect in battle.
During her short time in the new world, Reda traveled with Liadrin until word reached her that her father had succumb to his age and illness, And that as eldest, She was first in line to inherit her father's title as Jorn of Clan Sunshield.
Now Reda returns to The kingdom of Nordengaard with Liadrin to begin the first chapter of her Saga as Jorn.
