Birth History: Fiona was born into a family torn by chaos. Her
father, a powerful mage, was in conflict with his brothers, also mages.
They fought over the family book which held the secrets to the power
of summoning and controlling elementals. She and her mother traveled
to escape plots and turmoil. She was a teenager before she understood
the need for their secrecy and travels. She is only now coming to
terms with her heritage and learning to explore the power she has
inherited. She also has heard rumors regarding the existence still
of the book. Character's
Formative Years: When they first ran from her father's castle,
two loyal to her father traveled with them. One was Remey, a bard
who taught her a different magic, the magic of music. The other who
traveled with them was Alcatharan, a scribe who as she grew taught
her the art of inscription. One
day, not too long ago, Fiona, Remey, Alcatharan, and her mother were
staying in a guesthouse in a country abbey when strangers rode through
the gate. The monks greeted the riders cautiously but welcomed them.
The day was quiet. In the morning, Alcatharan had said that her inscription
had grown so skilled that there was little left he could teach her.
After a noon meal, her playing and singing pleased everyone. They
walked through the afternoon and her mother began to tell her the
story of her family, the truth of who she was, who they were, and
why all had come to pass. When the bell for the evening meal sounded,
her mother paused and said that she would complete the tale after
the evening meal. When they returned to the abbey however and entered
the dining hall, the morning's riders rushed out and grabbed her companions
and her mother, trying also to reach her. Only through the use of
all of her skills was she able to escape. On
the advice of the monks, Fiona then journeyed to the Lycaeum in Moonglow
to seek help. It was there that she met Dobbs, also a student. They
tried to locate the riders, to find news of her mother and friends
but were unable to find any trace. Fiona and Dobbs formed a friendship
which first centered on solving the mystery of her mother's abduction
and the study of magic and later grew to a deep love and a life in
which they share a study of magic and the world. Character's

music, philosophy, story telling, and the subjects essential to development
of her powers. She wants to develop her strength to one day return
to help her family. Character's Current Occupation or Endeavors: Currently she is on an extended quest which only brings her back to Tel'Ruid on occasion. She seeks information about the location of her mother and the book which has cost her family so dearly. |
