About Serena the Holy

Serena was born in Qadira. She was found as a baby abandoned at the entrance steps of a temple of Sarenrae. A note, written in a well-educated hand, stated

My wife and light of my life was lost giving birth to this child. I now give her, as my last possession, to the church of the holy Sarenrae, as payment for my sins and in hopes of finally lifting the curse that has been on my family all these generations. May you care for her and raise her that she may erase our family’s sins.

She was raised by the sisters of the church. She often got into mischief at the orphanage, and seemed bound to become a troublemaker as well. At age twelve, after getting caught stealing from her fellow orphans, the Mother Superior summoned her, and read her this note, and she wept all night, wondering what sins needed forgiving. That night, she vowed she would follow the teachings of the forgiving Sarenrae, and ultimately became a priestess. She carries this note (recopied), and hopes some day to meet her father or learn if he at last found peace.

Serena assumed her father had died at some point, but in fact, she happened as an adult, to travel to Qadira again {12}. While there, a note was passed to her by one of the servants in the temple, which read:

Today I saw you perform in the square, and I was so proud. Perhaps this is a sign that Saranrae has indeed expunged our family’s sins. But I cannot take a risk. Please, do not try to find me. Trust me, it is for the best.

Though she asked questions attempting to learn more from the servant, all she was able to obtain was a vague description of the heavily cloaked man who paid her to deliver the note. She tried to find him during her brief trip to Qadira, without success.
