"I spent my youth on my home of Shei Hythriad, an island far to the East. There I studied at the Ossenian, a great temple to the God Orlanth. I became ordained as a priest in the Aerndalen sect and was soon aboard a ship plying the seas.
The Golden Dawn traveled far and wide until it put into port in the distant city of Dobrug, the home of the greatest Orlanthian cathedral of all: the Locamyridra. I gave my leave to my captain and then took up study in the labyrinth shrines and temples which make up the great complex.
While there, I heard the tales of my countrywoman Lyssa of the Grove and her band of Grovewardens. I was further amazed to learn that my sister Joalla and an old friend Naredru had come to Moagara to join Lyssa's band. I gave my leave to my elder priest Waed Daeva and left to join my famous countrywoman and reunite with my family and old friends.
After years of service to Lyssa and the Grovewardens, I met with the Companions immediately following their great adventure under Old Kerlew. Their Captain Atan, an elf, was the last of the Merek Lek. He travelled with a Yelmite named Sangraal, A bald mage named Madragar, Draxim, a dwarf of an uncertain background, Ruglan a watchman from Dobrug, and Kezib a monk and friend to Sangraal. My lady bid me to follow the Companions to Raven's Gate to bear the body of Ruig a dwarf and member of the Ghurugil sect of Urox. That was the last time I saw my Lady.
I became a member of the band led by Captain Atan though not without difficulties. After a brutal showdown with a shadow cult, I was nearly killed by the Sekestian Kezib, who had been possessed by a shadow of Chaos. My fate as well as that of the others became intertwined and we journeyed Westward to investigate a Broo infestation of the Nrall Valley. We tracked them to a small abandoned mining town which led us into the deep,dark earth. It was there we met the Ghuruskalli cousins Khelzhad and Pogar. We made our way to the Fortress of Lead to meet Theony and her people who had been trapped from another time. Janes one of her tribe, joined us for our final assault. There in the Cairnhollow, we defeated the Shadows Irigraal and Urukavas with the aid of the dragon-newt Utamaa.
After returning to Dobrug for the winter, the Companions discovered further conspiracy at the hands of the Xorn. The plot led us to Yashai the Lioness, a Xorn in the guise of a powerful Olmanii Princess. We gaver and her minions battle and defeated their plot in the catacombs beneath her palace. It was there that I learned of my old friend Naredru's betrayal of Lyssa. I slew him and avenged Lyssa's death. In the course of the battle, Yashai's palace burned to the ground.
Thence the Companions made ship to find the rest of the strange grey disks to stop the plots of the enemy from realizing their foul prophecy known as the Drowning Dawn. The Kelp Canary, our ship, put in to Bullullod's Isle where there was an ancient Dragon-newt fortress. Once inside, our spirits inhabited the bodies of the Dragon-newts in a far distant past. Our actions in another time have changed the present, though for good or ill we know not yet.
My lord Orlanth has steered my course to that of the Companions, and to that I shall hold true."
