Morena Greybrooke grew up an orphan in Kenabres not knowing a thing about her true parents. The girl's foster parents did their best to raise her and even encouraged the Aasimar orphan's natural talents in the arcane. Yet, they had no idea of her Celestial heritage outside of Morena's striking fiery eyes.
For years as a child, Morena would wake up in the middle of the night, sweating. Nightmares haunted her with visions of a future where she used her arcane abilities to murder and maim for power. Not realizing that these dreams were a symptom of her Emberkin blood, she chalked up the nightmares to just being bad dreams.
Despite the silence from her foster parents about her birth parents, Morena continued her own search for the truth finally discovering knowledge that what she thought of as an insignificant birth mark was, instead, an important rune marking the bloodline of a rift warden.
Confronting her foster parents with the truth, Morena then learned that, yes, her parents had both been rift wardens and had disappeared into the Worldwound a few months after her birth. They hadn't mentioned it for fear that their foster daughter would follow after at too young of an age.
Armed with this new knowledge, Morena became obsessed with the idea of following in her parents' footsteps and joining the fourth crusade into the Worldwound.
