JeVondair Family/Selenia

The Corsair

Selenia, a blond-haired, fair-skinned serf of a brutal Aurvandilan minor noble, was barely past her girlhood when a swaggering adventurer, Lion'El, took notice of her. Pretending to be a Lurian Noble, he bartered for her release upon the promise that the Lurian Queen, Alice Arundel at the time, would hear of it as an example of Aurvandilian fair bargaining and goodwill.

Selenia, suddenly free of a lifetime of burden, felt that surely she most have entered into a dream. Unfortunately, that dream would soon become a nightmare. The couple spent their first few weeks together happily. They were swiftly married and Lion'el spent a great deal of time teaching her skills he had learned alone in the wild. Little did she know that he was preparing her to endure without him for a time. Lion'El informed her that he was leaving to become a knight. This seemed a grand thing to Selenia, who busied herself with thoughts of homemaking and children. But Lion'El never came back.

A week past, then two, until finally the new bride could stand it no longer. Picking up her pack, she set out after him, tracking him through the D'Haran warcamp. An adventurer named Markus directed her to Madina City, where the site that greeted her would haunt her nightmares for years to come: Her husbands broken and rotting corpse hanging aloft in a cage from the city walls. Her screamed aroused the brutal city guard, and she was swiftly taken into custody. Fully expecting to be maimed and murdered as her husband was, she spare no restraint in berating her husband's killers. Curiously, she was released without so much as a word.

Knowing her time in the South was over, she traveled north to make a name for herself in her Husband's homeland of D'Hara. She found herself a small hovel and hard work as dock crew in Port Raviel. But upon the Eve of Dragon King Machiavel Chernier's Coronation and Wedding to Dragon Princess Selena, Selenia's life would change forever.
