About Abigail Merosathe story of a divinely touched girl::
Abigail's full story begins long before she was born. Her parents came from Celestial origins and would travel Mendev helping those in need and battling the demons of the Worldwound; concentrating their efforts in and around Kenares. But their lives became complicated when her mother was with child.
The family was forced to flee Kenabres and they headed south. They were marked beings, an attraction to the demons of the Worldwound. They were unable to escape the pursuit of the demons. It was as if someone or something was tracking them. They eventually reached Thornstep in Razmiran. Once there Trey was given to an Orphanage to be cared for. It would seem that this act abated the demon pursuit for a bit. What became of Trey can be found here, as she ended up in an Orphanage in Korvosa. --- Fast forward a few years --- Abigail was born just outside the small town of Willip in fertile farmlands of Numeria, to the name of Abigail Merosa, Daughter of Jonathon and Krista Merosa. Abigail and her family never truly called anyplace home since they traveled quite frequently. Jonathon was a well-known salesman among the locals, frequently providing healing salves and ointments to many people at a price that anyone could afford. "People are always more important than Profit" He would always say. Except for not having a steady home Abigail was as happy as any girl could be. She loved her parents as much as girl could. When Abigail was only 12, raiders attacked her family and took all three prisoner. They were sold to slavers and split up among different buyers. Abigail was a servant for an abusive noble family that wanted to keep their slave trade a secret living on a plantation about 10 miles north of Kenabres. Jonathon ended up in the heart of the Worldwound, as was Krista. What happened during their time away is unknown to Abigail. Abigail worked hard for her master, Lord Falis, but despite her horrid living conditions and continuous beatings at the cruel hand of the work master, Abigail always had hope and faith. Each night she would pray an angel would come and take her away. Little did she know that Sarenrae was listening to her. Abigail had a good heart; she never believed that she had a pure heart. Perhaps her innocence kept it pure or perhaps it was by the design of the gods, no mortal will ever know for sure. After 2 years Sarenrae answered her prayers but not directly. An unnatural wind drove a ship toward Thornstep arriving there at just the right time to intercept a slave trader leaving port. Now this misguided ship had among her crew a band of adventurers, one of which recognized the slaver's ship and a battle soon followed. Taking the slave master prisoner the group learned of other being held captive and their mission became clear. These adventurers saved Jonathon and Krista from the torments they were enduring, which lead these adventurers back to Kenabres to free Abigail. Could it be coincidence? Or did the gods have some influence in the course of events? That is uncertain but the fact remains that this group of heroes freed Abigail and her family. But freedom did not come without a price. Krista died on the ship during childbirth, and the child? He is the bastard brother of Abigail; Krista was raped and beaten numerous times in her captivity this child was the result of those devices. As pure as Abigail's heart was; her brother's was black and vile. With the blood of murderers, slavers, and demon warlords coursing through his veins it could be said that the balance was maintained. One among the adventurers sensed the evil in the child and tossed it overboard. But a dark, demonic force brought deliverance to the child. What happened to the child is unknown to Abigail but when the time is right she will know. The adventurers arrived after many months of travel to the plantation where Abigail was enslaved. But what they thought to be an easy victory over some stuffy noble turned into an Epic battle. For Lord Falis was a demonic servant of great power, he was able to bring many demons to bear upon the heroes. Jonathon sought out Abigail while the battle raged on covering the entire plantation. Many minions of the "hells" that escaped the fury of the adventurers were moving among the slaves slaughtering them in a seemingly systematic genocide. Jonathon's failing health from age got the better of him and he was unable to escape the swath of Lemures that raged unchecked among the slaves. Abigail screamed to her father but he lay unmoving in a pool of blood. Abigail ran to her father's side. There she was seeing the life ebb from him. Abigail prayed to the angels and soon she felt the power of Sarenrae course through her and her father. She now believed that the angels of her dreams were real; the angel had a name, Sarenrae. The angels did not grant life back to her father but instead took his life force and gave it to Abigail infusing her with power she never realized. Grabbing the spear her father was carrying she turned to face the creatures approaching. Then with an angelic fury she began to turn the battle to her favor, fighting with the strength of the heavens. Abigail collapsed after the battle was over. When she awoke there was a new wisdom in her eyes. She asked for her father, for surely the angels would have given him back to her. But it was not to be. His soul was now a part of her forever. The adventurers told Abigail all that occurred on the journey. Now her father gone and her mother dead she had to move on. She carries with her the soul of her father and the heart of her mother. The pain brought on by the events of that battle Abigail vowed to try and to never take the life of an innocent. Abigail took on the craft her father had before but now with a new meaning. With Sarenrae's light shining within her, she will give aid to those needing it. Sarenrae will provide her with the means to live. Her help will be free to help end the suffering of innocents and stop the influence of demonic powers in the world. Seek to find a sign of hope in a land of evil and be aware of the evil in the hearts of even the best of paladins. Abigail's journeys, whether by chance or by fate have brought her to Kenabres; the place where it all started many years before she was even born. Abigail had unknowingly cast Death Knell on her father killing him and giving her more strength. She also was blessed with the following spells for the combat: Bless, Bull strength, Protection from evil, Magic weapon, magic circle against chaos, magic vestment, Divine favor, resistance, protection from elements (fire), and weapon (+1 holy short spear). She has felt the angel's power in this sequence of events and has been forever enriched by them. This was a one time event that was a result of being touched divinely. The effect of what happened grants her the touched by divinity campaign trait.
