After much trouble living with the humans, and even bearing a child to one of them, Auriona decided to leave her village and start an adventure. During her adventures she met many strange and fascinating people, but soon realized that she needed to make a living. She ended up in Magnamar. Selling her services as a ranger, she became a mercenary for merchant ships going to and from Magnamar.
During one of these almost fateful journeys, Auriona’s ship was besieged by pirates. After a long struggle and much death, Auriona was imprisoned as a swab for the pirates. Seeing her talent, she made her way up and became a feared marksman for said ship.
She ended up in Ilizmagorti, where she met Stefan Angelles. He seemed to be an average human who was concerned about where Auriona was headed to in her life. Auriona, on the other hand, was wary about him, given the fact that he seemed to have all of his attention on her whenever she came back to port.
She finally asked him why the hell he took such an interest in her and told him off. His response was simple. “You have a better gift than that working with these pirates. You should get out while you still can, before they start sending people who can face down the wild ones on the sea. He told her to find him somewhere in Cheliax when she was able to make decent coin.
A few months pass, where Auriona is summoned through a small letter sticking out of her locker. The note told her to head to a small tavern at dusk. Following the note, she went to said tavern, a wary eye keeping her on guard. After a few hours of waiting, a cloaked figure took a seat across from her. He looked her up and down, and told her he had something for her. He gave her a battered, yet functional Wayfinder. The Hooded figure also reminded Auriona to remember her promise. With that he left and her life seemed to be normal.
A few years later, Auriona got word that her ship had been seized with most of the crew detained or murdered. She barely remembered the words that Angelles left her. With that, she abandoned Ilizmagorti and began her long journey towards Cheliax, determined to find Angelles again.
