About Naethia Chyron

Naethia's mother, Ntaana, was a mercenary Ranger of Mwangi descent, hired by a Sargavan merchant to guard an expedition seeking to establish a new trading route in the fellow former Chelaxian colony of Varisia. The caravan was overwhelmed by Orc raiders from the Hold of Belkzen, who captured Ntaana and enslaved her for over a year. She learned the orcish language and studied them, watching for weaknesses and opportunities for escape. Although she ultimately succeeded, she was severely wounded in the process, and after several days on the run from pursuit she eventually collapsed, dying and in despair.

When Ntaana awoke, she discovered she had made it nearly to the doorstep of a Temple of Erastil in Nirmathas. The clergy there had tended her wounds, though her injuries would never heal enough to allow her to resume her former career. They also counseled and comforted her when she discovered the life in her womb. Ntaana came to believe that it was Erastil's will, and when she gave birth to twin daughters she learned to love them despite their mixed heritage. She taught Naethia and her sister Aethian everything she knew, including the cruelty of orcs and the horrors of slavery. When the young women reached adulthood they set out to do good in the world for their mother's honor and to satisfy their own cravings for adventure and glory.
