Perdita Imogen's page

The Moonwood is lovely; that is true. But it is also dark and it is also deep, and its many promises are kept: kept from escaping, kept from justice, kept from hope.

Among these is a lonely grove, a bower with a great Sycamore and its Dryad, Mistress Lolita. From her sanctuary she rules a court of lust and imprisonment, keeping both elves and men from escape, keeping them from justice, keeping them from hope.

For four years and four days one of these kept mortals was the darkly humorous, deeply cynical, Half-Elf, Jaques. Imprisoned and violated by the wicked Dryad, he conceived to her a daughter, Perdita Imogen.

Perdita was three when her father found his opportunity to escape; Mistess Lolita was busy with a new captive mortal and her wicked Quicklings, Grigs and Sprites were off tormenting some wandering Halflings. Jaques took his babe and fled for Silverymoon.

And the Moonwood was lovely and it was dark and it was deep.

Growing up in a Silverymoon Temple of Lathander, and getting all the education Jaques and the clerics could provide, Perdita Imogen lives a life of dichotomy. She feels deeply the Morninglord's ideals and feels a hunger for more education and knowledge. But she also has her father's mistrust and cynicism, and her mother's mischief and deceit.

Her call to Paladinhood came as much a surprise to Perdita as it did to her aging father. His disapproval and stories of her dark mother, instead of frightening her to stay, compelled her to leave Silverymoon and her cloistered life behind.

On the road to Waterdeep, a young scholar, acolyte Paladin and mischievous half-fey, Perdita Imogen knows her life will be a grand experience of beauty and discovery.
That life is precious and resilient.
Full of hope and creativity.

And nothing can be as dark as her deep past.
