How is this? I can change some of it if I need to. I'm ready to get going whenever you guys are!
Morrigan rode her steed across the rolling hills. Her tribe should not be far now. She had grown up with the Tuath. She was the daughter of Cadeyrn and Brietta MacSual. Her mother met her father during the High Summer gathering many years ago. Brietta was born to a priestess of Freya. As such, she had sworn an oath of celibacy. She was a hunter of the great Goddess. She traveled with other young female warriors protecting the land. This was until she met Caderyn. It was love at first sight. She left her clan and joined the Tuath by marriage. The two lived happily among the Tuath. She was accepted into the clan and learned their traditions. She was soon pregnant and gave birth to the beautiful, blond baby. The couple named her Morrigan, which meant "Daughter of the Light", and raised her in the Tuath traditions.
Morrigan had a wonderful childhood growing up in the clan. She was gifted in arms and wise beyond her years. She thought life would move forward uneventfully. That was until the dreams started. They started small, but soon become unavoidable. In each of the dreams, she was a heroine of light, fighting against the darkness that sought to consume the land. Her mother taught her about the goddess Freya and soon Morrigan was off on a quest to find other sisters of the faith.
She joined the church her mother had originally served and became a priestess. With other female warriors, the group traveled around protecting the locals and sharing the faith. In all, she spent eight years with the church of Freya. As it often does, home started calling the new priestess. With the blessing of the church, Morrigan now traveled back to her people.
Upon arriving, much had changed. Her mother and father had fallen during an orcish raid. She spent the first week with her people morning her parents. During this time, she was reacquainted with a childhood friend, Cian MacLir. He had grown into a handsome warrior. The two quickly rekindled their childhood friendship, spending hours training with each other in warfare. One night, Morrigan had a vision of great darkness decending on Bard's Gate. After much discussion and the blessing on the elders, they now travel towards Bard's Gate to seek their destinies.

Freya is a lesser goddess of love and fertility. She is also the leader of a great band of women warriors known on some planes of existence as Valkyries. Freya represents fertility in all its forms. On this plane, Freya represents the cycle of death and rebirth. She is a goddess of the coming harvest as well as a goddess of sexuality and procreation. Her beast is the falcon, though she is fond of the winter wolf and the stag. She appears most frequently to her worshipers as a beautiful human woman dressed in robes and a cloak of winter wolf fur, though she occasionally appears as a huntress in leather armor with a sword and bow, or as a warrior in shining mail with glowing sword. She can take the form of a falcon—or any other bird—at will, as well as the form of a huge winter wolf.
