Background:
Gothia is the daughter of Baron Torkeep, Sir Henkel VonSalais, from the Shield Lands. She is the middle child, with an older brother (Gunder) and a younger brother (Eric). There was another daughter (Maria), who died young. Gothia’s mother, Eila, is the daughter of Baron Westkeep, Sir Meinfrid VonNister. The marriage was intended to seal a minor rift between the families, but this backfired, and the two keepers are bitter rivals.
Following her older brother, Gothia was sent as a page to Baron Harryn and then squire. She earned her spurs at 21 and returned home to help with the running of the keep. It was later that year she decided to join the Church of Heironeous and dedicate herself as a paladin in his service. Her parents are both very proud of her and her choice to join the clergy and sent her a magnificent mount on her dedication day. Since that time she has travelled the Shield Lands, as well as parts of the Kingdom of Furyondy, including the great cities of Dyvers and Greyhawk.
Recently, hearing of a threat to the Kingdom of Geoff, her and several other knights have been travelling west to offer their assistance, but as time passed, many of the other knights went off on their own, personal quests until she was the last one. Now, outside the town of Orlane she has joined a new group of travellers as they too move to the west.
