Glimoril was born in Mierani, but at a young age, she began to join her father in his travels. Many elves were scattered across Varisia and the lands nearby, and they missed the things from home. Eledim traded the products of Mierani with the elves in other towns, and he brought his young daughter on his journeys in hopes of satisfying her seemingly endless curiosity.
On these journeys, she learned that it was often better not to ask questions. She would explore the homes they visited at night, discovering secrets that had little importance to anyone but a child. The only time she was ever caught was when they shared a camp with a man named Hallen. She was searching through his pack, out of curiosity, when she felt the edge of a knife press against her throat.
She tried to explain, but the man was determined that she had meant to steal from him. Hallen's anger woke her father, who came with his sword ready, and persuaded Hallen to release the girl. When it was discovered that nothing had been stolen, Glimor and his daughter made ready to leave, but the human was unsatisfied. He attacked, and Glimor fought him off, wounding his leg. Then Glimor and Glimoril rode away.
Weeks later, they were approaching Korvosa with a delivery for Perishial Kalissreavil, when an arrow appeared in her father's back. Glimor turned to face the enemy, and the next arrow took him in the chest. He died before he reached Hallen, and Glimoril watched Hallen ride away, laughing.
Glimoril found her way into the city, and it wasn't long before she discovered the cure to her grief. The drug called shiver gave her beautiful dreams, and for two years she was a slave to shiver. It was only when she overdosed, and a dealer named Gaedren Lamm dumped her for dead in the Vaults that she was able to free herself of it. After the brutal withdrawal, she slowly began to undo the damage that she did under the influence of the drug. She fed herself by stealing from dealers and others who exploited addicts, and recently was able to steal back her father's rapier from the man she had sold it to for a pathetic fraction of its worth. Soon, she will be ready to confront Gaedren, and then she will begin her search for Hallen.
