Born into an offshoot of one of the minor noble houses, the Mourngryms were a merchant family. Though
her parents often went on trading trips abroad, Eowithe was restricted to Magnimar when growing up.
Occupying her time with walks with her tutor through out the city , she became quite conversant with the
history of Varisia and Magnimar. When the histories proved insufficient to dull the boredom of childhood,
Eowithe ventured far within her dreams. So much so, that she caught the attention of a servant of Desna.
While dreaming, Eowithe became aware of a presense "watching" her imaginative creations, a presense that
was always on the periphery of her awareness, a cloud of butterflies. Over the years, the presense slowly revealed
itself within her dreams, introducing Eowithe to the intentions of Desna to maintain the dreamland's peace and the
sanctity of the void of stars. Finding much to appreciate about this philosophy, Eowithe began taking excursions to
the temple of Desna to speak with the priests there. Her concern over what her family may think of her new religious
interest was made irrelevant with word that her parent's caravan to the Linnorn Lands had been attacked by brigands;
all were dead. A trust was revealed to been prepared for her; to be given to her on her 18th birthday. Saddened by her
loss, Eowithe prevailed upon the priests of Desna to allow her to study with them, to fulfill her desire to serve
Desna. The priests agreed, having divined Desna's interest in the girl. Four years of study followed, often in
directions that dismayed her priestly tutors. In her time with the Priestesses of Desna, Eowithe became enamoured
with the properites of the Void and the stars that lay withi. Countless hours were spent in the temple's modest
hilltop observatory, tracking the motions of celestial objects and using lenses from faroff lands to peer at the stars
revealed. Eventually, other studies called and through them Eowith took on the mantle of Inquistor of Desna, sin-eater, though
in practice what she "eats" will be the slain's nightmares, to allow them an eternity of dream-like peace.
Throughtout her time with the priests of Desna, Eowithe had occasion to meet members of the Pathfinders, attending the
priests of Desna for advise on matters of dream, luck and travel. Their devotion to the history of the land and their
obvious openness to the possiblity of dreams made their association quite appealing to Eowithe. Seeing a possiblity to
further the ends of her own goddess, Eowithe has presented herself at the Lodge in Magnimar for induction as an Initiate.
Notables :
Barnabas Notte - tutor
When her parents were slain, Barnabas continued teaching Eowithe, her trust saw to his stipend. He is still a stalwart friend,
and mentor, someone Eowithe will turn to without question for help or advice.
Telerin Sonoh - Priestess of Desna
Her primary instructor and discipliarian while Eowithe learnt her trade. Stern and authoritaian in the classroom or practice yard,
in private she revealed to Eowithe a compassionate ear and an irreverant sense of humor. Another mentor to whom Eowithe would turn
to in need.
Brakstrom Neel - ne'er-do-well
A short romance that ended with some tears, he still has a place in Eowithe's heart, despite his lack of ambition and general minor
criminal tendencies.
Sniid Demtron - former major domo
her family's former major domo, Sniid took her parent's death quite badly, disappearing from the family estate and embarking on a many
year bender in the seedier parts of Magnimar. Eowithe discovered him, insensate, in a slavers den and brought him back to Desna's temple
for recovery. He drifts in and out of Eowithe's life now, descending into debauchery and the slowly pulling himself back to a mere
shadow of his former ,proper self.
