About Sionan En Rois

Sionan and her sister, Fea, were born in the Mwangi Expanse to members of the Ekujae tribe. Over the years of Sionan's adolescence the Aspis Constortium had become more of a menace to the tribe, and the Elders became more cautious in their travels. Fea grew unusually restless and managed to cajole her father into allowing her to join the merchant party he was sending to Nantambu. On the way the party was captured, and when news arrived back in Kibwe, Sionan went looking for her. She followed the slavers south to Bloodcove. There she learned that her sister had been sold to a group of traders who had chartered a ship bound for Korvosa. Sionan gained passage on the Aearelen, a merchant/mercenary ship, whose half-elf captain taught her the basics of combat fighting.

Sionan landed in Korvosa and scoured the streets for a glimpse or even news of her sister only to find that Fea had been coerced into the drug trade and, as her captors sought a way to control her, had become addicted herself. Sionan assimilated into the Korvosan underground seeking information. While she searched for her sister she learned much about the underground itself and seethed as she found evidence of her sister’s harsh treatment at the hands of her captors. Sionan finally located the hovel where her sister was being held only to find that Fea had recently died.

Sionan was born in Kibwe and has traveled extensively through the Expanse with her tribe. Familiar at home or in the jungle, Sionan is not a stranger to civilization, though she's never before seen cities as large as Korvosa or Absalom. Sionan learned to read at an early age, although books and scrolls were luxuries, and enjoys reading a lot. In common with her father she also has a gift in gemcrafting, jewelry-making, and, surprisingly, singing. Their faceted gemstones are often sought after for their flawlessness by wizards creating ioun stones.

She remembers the death of Aroden, the "time of storms", the death of her mother because of them, and the whispered conversations of the Tribal Elders. Though Aroden was a human god, he was much respected among the elves of Sionan's tribe who find his death saddening more than alarming.
