Born in the docks of Absalom to a tailor, Adrielle was a bit of a rebellious child. Expected to continue her mother’s business as a tailor, Adrielle wanted to paint and sing. Realizing she would never win her family’s approval, and unsatisfied with her proposed life in the docks, Adrielle ran away from home and sought shelter in the church of Shelyn.
Adrielle was grateful to the church for taking her in, and was inspired by Shelyn’s teachings of the spreading of love and art, so she decided to become an initiate of the faith.
A few years later, she met a man, a pathfinder named Gareth. She was inspired by his talks of adventuring the world, and seeing all there was to see. The two kept seeing each other, and fell in love. Adrielle joined the pathfinder society to travel the world with him. However, this did not last long. While she was finishing her training, Gareth was sent to Magnimar; promising to return to her as soon as he was able, and promising to write as often as he could.
The letters stopped coming after a few months. Having finished her training and worried that he might never return, Adrielle set off for Magnimar, hoping to find out what happened to her lover.
