About Arean Star-EyedInheritance Notes:
...yet with his crimes undiscovered, Vors undertook a journey to the Grand Oracle. I don’t know what he was told but he began to avidly romantically pursue three different women. Calinda, the Jewell of House Rastar, sorceress and wizard both, she was the darling Marthos’s High Society. Lucy, Eldrian’s mother, who once had been a famous bard, and now struggled with mental illness and Naydia Mindurian in whose family ran the blood of the Queens of Maridum (one of the cities of the Horse Lords) but who now raised and trained wolves and worgs for the goblin riders of the Empire’s Legions in Herzag. He used magic to transport himself from place to place and magic to conceal his identity and intentions where needed.
He succeeded with Naydia first, not for any lack of character on her part, but Lucy was a married women, and Calinda was courted by the best and brightest of the Empire. Naydia had nothing more than the concerns and expectations of a normal young woman to defend her from his advances. Calinda, to bed her he needed to wed her nothing else would do, and how he finally succeeded with Lucy, I simply don’t know. You Arean were born six months before your sisters, Tassira and Ikkvy who were born on the same day just minutes apart from each other. On your first birthday Arean your father came to your mother’s house killed her and stripped her latent magic from her. He then went to do the same to you but when he touched you black flames consumed his hands and he was forced to flee. Your Aunt, your mother’s older sister, took you in and raised you as her own. Signet Rings In addition to the magic that proves the ring is legitimate and so is the wearer all rings have two powers. The first power is an additional 60 feet of darkvision (if you have zero you now have 60, 10 is now 70, and so on), and is usable for 1 hour per level, not all that time has to be used at once. Each time it is activated it lasts a min. of 5 mins. Arean: The ring lets you cast Speak with Animals once a day per level Curse of the Blackened Hands (Backstory 1):
On the night the Aasimovian Library burned, Sister Maela was trapped in the pediment of the Tower of Prose and Facts. While rescuers sought a means to remove the bars from the windows, Arean tearfully took handful after handful of precious books from Maela, between the bars. As the books grew warmer, then sooted, then hot, and then even on fire, Arean kept taking them. "If you can bring them, I will take them", she had promised her old friend and mentor. The bars were never moved. The old woman and the girl together saved some hundreds of books, the elder bringing them to the hands of the younger, until they stopped coming to the bars. Arean waited there, weeping but not calling, shorted of breath by the smoke, her hands blackened agonies she no longer felt, no pain of note, beside the loss of her friend. Falling back upon the grass Arean watched the stars swim through her tears, and through the smoke of burning ancient knowledge, forgotten in the chaos of the scene. When found, she was near death, and her hands and forearms still bear the blackening, chars that, when viewed quite closely and carefully, are seen to be layered glyphs, and runes, and picts. The hands lack much of their former strength, but are steeped in the dying magics they handled. And in flames. Who am I?(Backstory 2):
"I am Arean, born Mindurian, though both I and Mindurian agree, it's best that name no longer apply to me. I am called Arean Star-Eyed, which I suppose is simply kinder than calling me Arean the Black-Handed. If some bitterness is heard... it's there. But, it doesn't slow me. It's sad, true, to have fallen away from my family. Perhaps their response to the Library was... ...they wanted a marriagable mare, not a mendicant martyr. Not that I intend to be a martyr. But they see it thus, risking myself by travelling the land. They can't understand, all the things I know, all the things I almost know, that I remember when things around me require them. I hope someday, I'll be able to explain it. If not to them, at least to myself. But for now, we cannot agree. I will not 'just accept it', and wear gloves over hands that feel burnt when touched. And they won't accept that I might feel some debt to the old witch who might have... No. No, that shouldn't be said aloud." Arean Star-Eyed

Adds 4 HP. Inspired Spell, Relentless Healing Hard to Kill
Inspired Spell (Su) (See FAQ below) You can expend one use of mythic power to cast any one divine spell, treating your caster level as 2 levels higher. This spell must be on your divine spell list (or your domain or mystery spell list) and must be of a spell level that you can cast using that divine spellcasting class. If you are a spontaneous spellcaster, you don't need to have the spell prepared, nor does it need to be on your list of spells known. Using this ability does not expend a prepared spell or available spell slot. You can apply any metamagic feats you know to this spell, but its total spell slot level must be a slot level you can normally cast. Relentless Healing (Su) You can restore life to the recently dead. If a creature has died within 1 round, as a free action you can expend one use of mythic power to apply healing magic to that creature. This healing can be from a spell or effect you cause or from a magic item you wield. If this healing brings the creature's hit points above the threshold for death, it comes back to life and stabilizes at its new hit point total (similar to the way breath of life functions); otherwise, it remains dead. Alternatively, you can expend two uses of mythic power on a dead creature that would have the ability to magically heal itself if it were alive (such as a dead cleric with a prepared cure light wounds spell) in order to trigger the most powerful healing magic it knows or has prepared. If this brings the creature's hit points above its death threshold, it returns to life. Drawbacks:
