Backstory:
Cordelia Firth was born to two aquatic elves from the Kailani kingdom. Medium in size, the tribe was based towards The Plate, straddling the waterway between the Fertile North and the Fair Lands. The geographic location meant that members of the Kailani kingdom were well used to diplomacy, trying to manage the shifting petty kingdoms in the area. Cordelia therefore spent equal time out on land and below the waves, trying to establish diplomatic ties and trade routes that would benefit her home.
Being in close proximity to chilling waters, Cordelia possessed a particular affinity towards cold or water based magic. She wasn’t a particularly strong spellcaster, but she had a rudimentary grasp of magic and would use it defensively whenever she felt threatened. Cordelia’s interest in magic grew as she became more and more experienced, and she would occasionally roam the oceans a short distance away from her home in search of any artifacts or forgotten occult lore that she could learn and study.
The rise of the Absolute Order was particularly troubling for her tribe. The kingdom was split between two factions, those that wanted to ally with the dominant rulers of the day – Absolute Order, and those that favored the glory of old, or perhaps saw an opportunity to influence a relatively young and inexperienced king in the new prince. Cordelia (privately) fell in the latter category, but the arguing between the two split factions began to boil over. Eventually, Cordelia was dispatched to observe the Prince and his quest for the crown, to then advice a decision on whether her tribe would openly ally themselves with him or the Absolute Order. Cordelia left immediately to take up her new responsibilities, unaware that there were those watching her keenly, hoping to see her fail.
