History

Early Life

Dreamheart is the only child born late in the lives of her parents. Trained in the classics by her parents, she learned history, music, performing arts, and religious studies from an early age. Her father trained her to be a priestess, her mother, the bardess.

The Commoner Years

Into every land, one must come to remember and sing the stories of the peoples, their dreams, and the very land of Elanthia itself. This solemn duty was accepted by Dreamheart as Dreamweaver, who followed her Mage back to their Icy home, gave her the charge. Dreamweaver gave her with two things: a Trailblazer badge and her silver journal.

Bards were still being hunted, albeit not openly, by Dragon Priests, and the Guild was not open. Her father urged her to join the cleric guild, "It is so much safer for you, Dreamheart. You will still be able to accomplish your tasks." But there was music in her heart, and so she trained, biding her time until it was safe for the bard guild to open once more. She knew the Prince would make sure it happened, just as he was routing out the last holds of Dragon Priest zealots in the Province.

During this time, she made friends and hunted with some of the Legends of modern times, learning from each one. From Dangelo, she learned courage. From Lothar, she learned the value of dodging. From Eben, she learned her armor was as good as tissue paper. From Mir, oh, from Mir she learned many things, some bad habits, and many practical tips, but the most important lesson was, let sleeping mages be. From Digmo, Wildluck, and Qualinius she tried to learn magical devices, but had little patience for them. They would nod sagely and tell her it was a good thing she was not a Mage. From Violet she learned the great value of a young woman being able to defend herself with anything handy. From Gabriel, she learned honor. From Kruass, she learned the value of a good name. From Pendegast, her first patron, she learned the value of a job well done. From Manning, Solis, and Aislyn, she learned to revel in the wonder around her. (OK, she also learned to feed raccoons with them.) From Martee and Diancecht, she saw what a beautiful partnership love was.

Gweedo taught her to be an excellent teacher, Impalire taught her to never doubt, Fargo & Asarian helped her become adept with blades. Itharr taught her to never walk away from a second chance. Magus helped her learn wisdom, Miranda helped her learn to trust her sense of style. Nimue and Smahsh taught her to take joy in everything. Mazel & Luigi taught her the value of a kronar, as well as purposeful evasion. Mokikikako inspired not only her diction, but showed that not all mages were stuffy. Shadowvixen brought sleight of tongue into an artform. Slaughterangel taught her the value of friends. Suntoucher and Ohr showed her what rolemodels do. Theophrastus patiently tried to help her understand magic; to no avail. Anne taught her grace. Elriic taught her patience.

So many people left their names in her heart in those days. Angmar, Samantha, Riggles, Redtail (Oh, Cassi!), Glenlivet, Harlin, Anwyn, Calanthe, Branwen, Atanamir, and more.

She was joined before long by others who were guildless, but felt the call of music in their hearts. This small band trained hard for many a year before the Guild opened. Agraynel, Aiffe, Anvar, Brin, Canu, Danner, Keriala, Nesbit, Imbrielle, Valeiria, Robinton, and more - all inspired her to continue to work quietly until the Guild could return.
