Biography
Evaine found herself transported to the Northern Empire in June of 2016. Evaine was serving as a healer for a company battling an evil cleric. During the battle, she was dropped into a portal that landed her in this realm.
In her home plane, Evaine is the eldest daughter of House Thuryn. House Thuryn has a long history of renowned healers. As such, they are sought by everyone from monarchs to peasants for their knowledge, skill, and compassion. Ysabel, Evaine's mother, is the current Matriarch of her House Thuryn. As the oldest child, Evaine was groomed to one day serve as the Matriarch and so was afforded little freedom through the years. Normally a woman of her age would be married by now, but Ysabel has used a potential marital bond as leverage to secure alliances with several other houses. Even so, before she arrived in the Principality of the Nine Blades, she was to be married to a scion of one of the other houses within the next year. At that point, her days of travelling as a healer would be over as she would be expected to produce several heirs for House Thuryn and take on more of the Matriarchal responsibilities.
Here, Evaine was somewhat shocked by, and a little fearful of, the amount of freedom she has. As a result, she was timid and reserved in social situations upon her arrival. She has discovered that the nature of magic here is very different than on her home plane, forcing her to re-learn her skills in healing, almost from scratch. Needlecraft was previously a pastime for her but seems a necessity here, as she no longer has a source of funds on which to draw in order to buy clothing and other items. Previously, she served only as support for battles as attacking healers was forbidden by treaty. Now she must learn to defend herself as it seems anyone is fair game for attacks.
Now that she has settled into life in Amtgardia, Evaine is more outspoken with her opinions. She has also made her disdain for the gods very apparent.
Even with all the differences, Evaine is enjoying herself in this new realm. She has found trustworthy friends in the Order of the White Raven. She is looking forward to learning more about this realm and seeing where her new-found freedom takes her.
