Childhood: Vhalla was born in a small farming town in Leoul, located in the western portion of Cyven (otherwise called the “East”). Her father was a farmer and her mother was the daughter of the postmasters of Hastan (the Eastern Capital). Vhalla’s upbringing was balanced between helping (more like playing in the mud) in the fields where her family grew wheat and receiving a modest education from her mother. When Vhalla was eight her father enlisted as a soldier during the War of the Crystal Caverns, during which time her and her mother fell ill with Autumn Fever. Vhalla overcame the illness, but her mother did not and she died when Vhalla was ten. Her father returned home, the war won, shortly after and relieved their neighbors of the young Vhalla’s care. For her father’s service he was awarded a place in the palace guard in the Southern Capital of the Empire. He took his daughter to the Emperor and asked to trade his place in the guard for an opportunity for Vhalla to work in the palace as an apprentice.

Vhalla was eleven when she began studying under the Master of the Imperial Library, Master Mohned. Shortly after she joined the library staff another girl, Roan, joined as well. Fast friends, the children were eager to welcome the addition of another into their fold when Sareem, a boy about the same age, arrived. The three were mostly diligent to their duties but got into trouble from time to time. Sareem was often the instigator, dragging along a reluctant but willing Vhalla. Roan attempted to be the voice of reason, but to no avail.

Character Bio: Larel Neiress

Affinity: Firebearer
Personality: Loyal, Private, Kind
Childhood: Larel Neiress came to the Tower of Sorcerers as a young child to study her magic as a Firebearer. She was a close friend to the prince and functions still as a trusted confidant. At first unsure of fellow Sorcerer, Fritz Chareem, Larel opened up to the cheerful Southerner and began to warm up to her place within the Tower on the whole.

Being from the West, the rift between Sorcerers and Commons often confuses her and she works to bridge the gap whenever she sees it. As a Firebearer she focuses primarily on combat study, but has yet to see any real scuffles.
