Tariel was first born near the end of the ancient Azlanti empire, and was a scholar at a prestigious school for magic during her short life. She was only twenty-five when Earthfall came, and that should have been the end of it for her. She doesn't know why she 'woke up' a hundred years later in the body of another young woman, but she has been doing it for millennia since.
She has often been on the sidelines for great events, or events that would later turn out to be great. Convincing a few of her friends and traveling companions to give in to their mutual attraction has led to bloodlines that produced legendary heroes or powerful rulers. She has offered small bits of advice that led to the development of some of the strongest spells of our time. She has been present for the defeat of demon lords, and the sacrifice of noble angels. And she has awoken in modern times in the body of a merchants daughter.
Three years ago Eliza Tabeli regained her ancient memories and, as she has so many times now, set out to see how the world has changed in her absence. Or did she? In her darkest moments Tariel wonders if she really did live all those lifetimes. Perhaps she is simply Eliza Tabeli, a young Oracle cursed with the ability to see the past in the same way others can see the future, and it has driven her mad. She has no way of knowing either way, and so pushes these dark thoughts to the side as she gazes in wonder at the sights of the fabled 'City of Monuments.' There is adventure to be had here, and it is with this in mind that she approaches Irthir, fresh off of helping a group of healers in a poor section of town deal with a strange disease, eager for another assignment.
