Updated bio:
Serenity spent her early years as the only daughter of a wealthy mercantile family in the city of Hampshire. Her father claimed an old name of nobility, though one that had fallen on hard times. Her mother, the youngest daughter of a wealthy shipping family brought wealth back to her fathers family and in return claimed the legitimacy of an established line. Yet all was not to go well in these early years of life. Unknown to Serenity's Mother, her Father was heavily involved with a cult dedicated to Pyrtechon in the Port city. They had been funding his operations for some time and he of course was doing many favors in return.
Unfortunately her Father was atrocious in business and squandered his new wife's dowry quickly. Again he turned to the cult, needing more funding just to maintain the lifestyle he was accustomed to. He borrowed more and more heavily, with the cult finally calling all debts due. Not having the money to pay such a huge sum the Pyrtechonites took back gold in blood, assaulting the manor and killing Serenity's parents. They left her alive however and dispatched her to the temple in Firesteep, where she was intended to serve as a maid for the remainder of her years.
All things change however and her lot was no different. Two years after her entry as a servant she was to murder a guess of the temple in rage. It was this act that set her path, the clergy discovering the powerful link she had with the Pyrtechon they began her training as a cleric. Once more years passed, finally she fled the temple just before the rites of affirmation, the rites that would have sealed her to Pyrtechon.
Her link to Pyrtechon was to be explained on her arrival, vampires who sought her showing her clearly that her family line was usually chosen for the Champion of the Destroyer. Serenity's very heritage it seemed came from a place that was endlessly linked with the dark dragon god. Through many trials she found herself at the crux of a conflict between Corath and Pyrtechon...where the right choice was none, both only increasing the power of one evil or the other. Choosing Pyrtechon over Corath the vampire threat was removed, and her link to evil further strengthened from a choice to end the potential of an undead empire.
In this time Serenity made many friends, those who came to see her caring nature beneath a bad tempered exterior. Triba whom was and remains her closest friend, Thordan her adopted Uncle, Ozy her teacher...Rhizome..Remiel....Arestes. Many who became close and attempted to dissuade her subtlety from the path of destruction that she was taking. They could see even when she could not that as her power grew, so did the risk that she was going to be asked for something in particular, something beyond what she could and keep her sanity.
They were of course correct, and the time did come where Pyrtechon was to call on her. The Red Dragon had decided to wage war upon Lucinda, and to that end had called for all his faithful to search for and once more take up the weapon oh of his champion. Serenity like all others received the summons, but was more curious to what it meant than anything else. It was all to soon to become clear, Pyrtechon was making a play for the weave, the champion to be the one to spearhead the assault against Lucinda's faithful. The first to reach the resting place of the champion would take the mantle and return to Firesteep victorious. In the company of Remiel, Triba, Rhizome and Ozy the set out. First to get to the fallen champion Serenity, under the gentle guidance of her companions, took her first tentative steps from the path she was on. Coming upon the grave she sensed the great potential for destruction within, and in that moment decided to bury it forever...or so they hoped. Great spells were cast, the crypt collapsed and it was assumed to be over.
It was not to be,another Cleric had found the way down and either with the blessing of Pyr, or sheer dumb luck emerged with the weapon...the battle for the weave intensified and once more the small group headed put. A return to Firesteep to confront the champion..whom was even now on the path to challenge and maybe destroy the avatar of Dorand.
They caught this new champion of course, and a battle took place that certainly rocked a small portion of Firesteep. Serenity unable to call on her divine gifts was at a loss...and could truly on fight for control of the weapon and hope the others could fall the champion. The champion did fall but not before a storm he had called killed Serenity. Yet it was not to be then end, as Lucinda herself had taken an interest in events, and as the war for the weave abated Lucinda accepted the service of the fallen cleric and returned her to life.
After a time Serenity recovered he health and found a great deal of joy in her new mistress. They seemed perfectly suited to each other, both unpredictable and containing a great deal of mischief. Life returned to normal once more as most of Serenity's time was spent at the temple learning the ways of the Goddess of Magic.
Life was once more set to become confusing however as Serenity came into possession of a sentient scroll called Stone. He was an elemental guardian and one that once it bonded to her, shared her mind and consciousness on many levels. This being was to rapidly become the central focus of her life, that and his last bearer Kailia. It seemed there were four scrolls, with Stone the only learning sentient one. Fire was in the hands of mad brother of the elven family that built the scrolls, and so the adventure began to find all, destroy Kelor The Bearer of Fire and bring the scrolls ultimately to their creator for judgment.
It was in this that Serenity was to be forever changed for not only did she end up sharing her mind with an elemental of the earth but also with the daughter of Melizaphei, Kailia. In the course of the journey Serenity was to find an emerald gem, a gem that stored all the memories of Kailia. In absorbing those memories Serenity was to make them part of herself and adopt much of Kailia into her being.
It was in this that she was to gain a new elven family, who gave her the name Eldárwen, meaning Serenity in old elven...and allowed her to take the family name of Hillaraname. Delighted with the acquisition of family, and the melding of two sets of memories in one new being the newly formed being she moved to confront her brother. Once victory was secured she returned to Voltrex and is currently spending much time with her new family, her recently restored mother in particular.
Happy now with Lucinda, with the herself and whom she now is she looks to the new sets of challenges that are presented her....most by newly restored family. |
