Racial History:
Ghost Elves dwelt on the fringe of elven society. They made their homes amid the ancient roots of the forest, rarely making contact with other races.
Thousands of years ago, during the elven civil war that led to the fall of the Drow, the ghost elves maintained their isolation and remained neutral in the great racial struggle. After the defeated Drow retreated into the Underdark, they schemed against their distant cousins and launched an attack on the Ghost Elves. The very shelter that had kept them safe became fiercely contested battlegrounds. The Ghost Elves were no match for the seasoned Dark Elven troops. They were virtually wiped out in the blink of an eye. The other surface elves were either unwilling or unable to aid their beleaguered kin, something the Ghost Elves have never forgotten or forgiven.
Help eventually arrived-from an unexpected source. As the defenses of the last settlement were colapsing, an alien entity calling itself Thule appeared and offered to save the Ghost Elves in return for their service.
Appalled by the slaughter of thier people the Ghost Elven leaders agreed without second thought only to realized they were tricked later on. Thule revealed himself as the Archduke Thulikazt, a pit fiend of almost godlike power, and took the Ghost Elves to his home in the Nine Hells of Baator. There he enslaved them, slowly destroying their spirits and their strong connection with the land. For hundreds of years, they toiled for the archfiend, and thousands were slaughtered on the savage arena battles and pointless experiments for Thulikazt's pleasure. This is called "The Tempering" in Ghost Elven history.
Countless centuries passed and the archfiend grew lax, allowing his slaves to take up arms and join his forces in the Blood War. The Ghost Elves learned the arts of war and conquest from fiendish generals and hellish sorcerers. They became Thulikazt's elite bodyguards, drawing admiration and envy from other fiends.
The Ghost Elves secretly contacted their master's enemies and offered to serve those lesser fiends in return for aid in destroying their hated master. Greedy for the service of Thulikazt's elite bodyguards, they lay siege to Thulikazt's citadel only to find his mutilated corpse and a thank you note.
Today Ghost Elves live on the Etheral Plane. Their cities are usually built deep in woodlands and are at least partially underground. Due to their long captivity and the dangers their settlements attract, their society has a strong martial bent. A thousand years has not cooled the anger of the devils humiliated by the "elven treachery" and even today seek they seek out the Ghost Elves.
Personality: Dwarves compare them to mithral: beautiful and delicate in appearence, but stronger than the hardest steel.

After centuries, the Ghost Elf elders made a decision. Some of their people should once again walk the great forests of the Material Planes, their race would not be forgotten. Precautions had to be taken however, there were powerful enemies who sought their race's eradication.

They needed assistance, they needed power.

Centuries of enslavement in Baator had hammered Law into their veins, being so deepely intrenched in evil stifled the strengh of good within them. It is this, ironically that led them to the beings that would help them become a threat to their enemies.

The Justicators.

Beings like Celestials, mighty champions of law and neutrality, punishers of betrayal and other acts of chaos.

And so was made a pact. The Ghost Elves would ally themselves with the mightiest of Justicators in exchange for eldritch power, dark and unnatural, but unaligned in it's nature, The Gift would be bestowed upon one in twenty. The taint in their blood affects the gift however, slanting it deeper into darkness, but all who learn hold that it is they, not the power, that maintains control.

So it was that Arathalia became one of The Gifted, skilled in battle, brimming with powere, feared yet respected by her people, a Witchblade.

Ever cautious of those who would do them harm, the secretive Ghost Elf council has recently decided to send members of their protective force outside of the forest to bring back knowledge of their new homeworld.

As one of the few who believed that her people should interact with others, she was one of those chosen to explore. Her travels would soon lead to danger however, captured by an insane wizard who wished to study the unusual elf, experimented upon with all forms of bizarre arcana, her life became a nightmare. But the spirit of her people showed it's strength once again.

During one of his sick experiments her rage and hatred exploded, unleashing a word of such destructive force that many of the delicate instruments and vials were destroyed, releasing all manner of bizarre and dangerous concoctions to mix violently. The resulting conflagration engulfed the room quickly culminating in a violent explosion that destroyed the wizard's tower and everything in it.

She awoke hours later, naked in the bottom of a 200ft crater her body oddly unharmed by the magical flames. She was changed, shrouded in the essence of protective magic itself, not only capable of resisting its effects but as the spell eddies whirled past her she felt...stronger.

Wandering off into the night she reveled in her frredom, determined to see more of this world, to see if her previous opinion was mistaken.

Now, a year later, she has wandered into the legendary city of Kaledun, determined to see what life outside the forests may hold.

With pale porcelain skin that glows in the shadows, long grey hair and unique mirrored eyes, Arathalia is not easily forgotten, her beauty haunting and ethereal even by elven standards.
