background:

Ayesha Jalal was not born to life as a slave, just as a foreigner. She was raised as the younger daughter - with two older sisters and an older brother - of an elven Qadiran merchant, Khameh Jalal. It was her father's gambling habits that earned her the slave collar. Sold in her early teens to recover a debt that was never hers, Ayesha was trained in the arts of a concubine - seduction, dancing, and performance.

Ayesha was stronger and more agile than most of the other concubines-in-training. This earned her the dubious honor of learning the dervish dance. This performance was considered one of the most difficult of all, involving not only precise body movements, but also tight control of an overlarge scimitar, weaving innate magic and precise motion control into a breathtaking performance. Her elven heritage and beauty certainly helped her attract attention in the dance.

It was the dervish dance that caught the eye of her beloved Khamil. Khamil Suresh was the heir to a large merchant family. He was strong, handsome, and good with his hands. He purchased Ayesha as a concubine, and the two fell in love almost immediately. Ayesha thought her life had changed miraculously, and prayed to Sarenrae every night, thanking the goddess for her blessings.Even Khalil said that she was a gift from the gods, as evidenced by the strange-looking oblong swirl birthmark between her shoulder blades.

Time went by, and Ayesha's dreams crumbled. She was not able to give Khamil an heir. No matter what she tried - magic, herbs, music, prayers - nothing worked. Khamil's mother was furious with her son, demanding that he put aside the barren elven concubine and take a full blood Kelshite to wife, but Khamil refused. Three years went by, until the time of presentation came. His mother refused to allow Khamil to formally take Ayesha to wife, and reluctantly he was forced to put her aside. but, he did not do so without a spite to his mother. In addition to the freedom price traditional of such a leavetaking, he also gifted her an heirloom of his family - a scimitar of deepest black, with swirling etchings of a purple so dark it seemed to fade into the black. Khalil's mother was furious, but the gift was public and thus held firm.

Five years a slave, Ayesha had no idea what to do with herself as a free citizen of Qadira. She had no desire to return to the family that sold her, and her barrenness was now a matter of public record. No man would take her to wife. In desperation she sought the services of a seer. The oracle told her that the secret to reversing her barrenness would be found in the far north, the place where chaos and the mortal realm met.

That day Ayesha took her freedom price and bought the equipment of a warrior. She would go north to the place known as the Worldwound, and by Sarenrae's grace, she would find her own salvation. Clad in armor, kukri and black scimitar at her side, and armed with her minor magics, Ayesha set forth on what would be a long journey indeed.
