About Florence Blanche

Florence, as a young Chelaxian girl, learned about justice from her father - a Hellknight of the order of the Pyre, he was devout in hunting down those who would abuse mystical powers for their own gain and the harm of others. Her mother was a minor noble, and came of similar stock to her father, leaning against the corruption that came from the ranks of the houses above them, arguing in courts against their corruption and helping those that would be sacrificed to the law for greater power.

Not being the strong sort, Florence sought to follow a path similar to her mother’s studying for months on end towards becoming a lawyer, a court enforcer, someone who could fight without strength. It wasn’t long before the siren’s call of wizardry attracted her to its power and strength for those without it.

She was immediately fascinated by necromancy, a way to keep her alive and in pursuit of removing the corruption in the world - to see the change that she had wrought. However, she had seen those who might bring back the dead as monsters, the consequences of their actions at the blade of her father’s axe - so she studied in secret, attempting to find a way to straddle the line between the evil of undeath and the powers over life and death that could be used for a greater purpose.

Of course, with dissent comes consequence, and it wasn’t long before her family was targeted by greater houses for removal - and soon, the men came for them. Bandits, rogues in the night came to slaughter the three of them in their sleep. Unfortunately for them, her father was still awake, and defended Florence and her mother to his last breath, while Florence’s mother forced her through the window out into the streets, to run away, leaving her the sole survivor of the family.

Absconding from Cheliax, Florence intensified her study of necromancy and the dark arts, hoping to create good change in the world through methods that others might shy away from.
