What has gone before...:
Quick write up.
During the reign of Queen Illeosa much changed (And, had her reign continued...much more would have changed and not for the better) One of the things that shifted during the Queen's reign was the place of women in Magnamar society. No longer did women feel the weight of the patriarchal society around them. With a strong, and initially noble, female role model many women sought to increase their standing, influence and power.
However, as the queen's reign turned darker, it was only a few who remained steadfast in the face of the mounting terror. One such was Baroness (Feel free to create the equivalent ofg the 'White Queen' from Marvel?). Seeing that the queen would need arms and armor for her burgeoning armored enforcers, she gladly supplied much of both. When the call came for 'recruits', she too helped add to the quotes.
However, the baroness noted that humans were frail creatures. She turned her mind to thinking of something... more.
And so, in her mountain holdings, far to the North of Magnamar she instigated a program to create a 'better' enforcer. Something that would be both compliant as well as powerful.
To this end, she spent a large amount of her fortune gained as reward for supporting the queen into a 'breeding' program. Gaining and keeping the slow minded brutes of the giants garnered from the surrounding mountains was 'relatively' easy. however, the Baroness wanted her 'Enforcers' to be 'special'.
So, using yet more of her fortune, she purchased a wyrm from the slave traders of Qatapesh, they to whom flesh was the exchange for money.
The Baroness plans might have quickly come to fruition, had not two adventurers intervened and snuck away with the beginnings of the fruit of the plan.
Did the pair damage the Baroness plan beyond recovery? Was the stolen babe the only youth to be had?
These questions and many more can only be answered by fate (And the liberal mucking about of the DM)
Character history/back-ground:
Xane only knows of her past from the tales told to her by the Elven women who raised her on the coast. One a cheerful, friendly, bubbly soul of a roguish disposition,. The other a Bard of many skills and talents.
Both women tell the tale of how Xane's true parents were kept as slaves by some evil Noble. She herself grew up frolicking upon the shores listening to the tales told by her foster parents and dreaming of the day that she might grow skilled and strong enough to thwart and combat the evil Noble in their far off lair.
As she matured, both she and her foster parents came to the realization/conclusion that Xane needed to experience more 'people' type places. So, with a small allotment from her foster parents, Xane set off to the large city of Absolom.
With information given to her by her foster parents, Xane joined one of the many carnivals where she 'hid' herself as a 'Strong-woman' act. However....her nature didn't really lend itself to subterfuge and so...she wasn't very good at 'acting' when it came to lifting the heaviest weights the carnival could afford. Her abilities, however, were kept around as she did rather excel as a 'bouncer'.
It was during this time that (Insert Character NPC here) hear tales of the 'Strong woman' at the fair and sought out the source of said tale to see what manner of being this was. Whether it was a simple fraud or something more.
At first..there seemed to be nothing really special about the personage of Xane, other than a woeful lack of acting skills. They continues to watch from afar, however. Waiting to see what happened after the show. To watch for the solidly built actress performance when they weren't on stage.
it was here, behind the scenes that Xane's true strength were shown. Her ability to easily move and reposition truly large equipment showed her true abilities for what they were. It was Xane's handling of some drunken na'er do wells that demonstrated her nature.
(X) approached both the carnival operators and Xane cautiously and offered the (Surprisingly young) large woman a place in the Abaslom academy for gifted students.
