About

Early Family History

Maraisel was born of the Issalde line and spent the youngest years of her life in Elamiri, growing up in a happy home with her mother and father until she was about eighteen years old. Although she doesn't discuss the events of what happened the day her parents were killed, it is known that she survived the incident which ended their lives and fell into the care of a half-sister she never knew she had, Ayrell Evyntine. Unsure of whether the danger that befell their family would return, they fled to Zoluren where they struggled to make ends meet, remaining homeless for several years until Ayrell was able to earn enough money through her work with the Warrior Mage guild to acquire a place for them to stay. Considering themselves the only family they had left, Ayrell adopted Maraisel to share the last name of Evyntine, at which time they decided to stop referring to each other as half-sisters and to simply be sisters. Young and inexperienced, Maraisel became infatuated with a man by the name of Ralaec with whom she believed herself to be in love and joyfully accepted his offer of marriage. It didn't take long for Maraisel to realize her mistake, the relationship growing rocky within the first few months, and only continued to get worse. Much like the incident which stole the lives of her parents, Maraisel also avoids speaking openly about her time with Ralaec, admitting only that the marriage eventually ended in divorce, despite powerful objections from Ralaec. Her first experience with love, however, was not enough to frighten her away from the man she believed to be the other half of her soul, an aspiring Paladin by the name of Rehlys. As with most aspects of her past, she maintains her secrets of what occurred, admitting only that the marriage was not meant to be, blaming it on what she was quickly becoming to believe was some kind of curse which ended in Rehlys's death on the day they were to be wed.

Later Family History

Convinced that she would never find happiness after the death of her beloved Rehlys, Maraisel resigned herself to live life alone, swearing off love, and bearing a band of mourning in Rehlys's name to keep his memory alive. Over time, she became friends with a trader by the name of Cirdaen who shared her feelings on relationships and the two decided to marry as a matter of mere companionship and convenience. After only a few years, however, their friendship grew distant with Cirdaen being away from home more than he was present until eventually he ceased returning home altogether. Crushed by yet another loss, Maraisel grew even more certain that the immortals were determined to see that she would spend her entire life alone. Lost to her sadness and depression, she turned to drinking to bury the pain, and spent her days in a drunken haze, attending parties and concealing her sadness under the guise of a carefree socialite. Drinking became the source of many more regrets throughout Maraisel's life, many of which she has long added to the list of mistakes and tragedies she prefers not to speak of to anyone outside her immediate circle of trust. In the end, it was a chance introduction to a friend of her niece's husband that drastically changed the course of Maraisel's life. A Paladin by the name of Rhonys Ildyeri. Despite efforts from both Maraisel and Rhonys to avoid a relationship, due to both of them having suffered heartache and loss in the past, they found themselves repeatedly falling into each other's path until they couldn't deny the attraction any longer, the attraction gradually building into affection and into love and the two eventually stopped fighting what they believed to be Fate and were wed in a small ceremony that took place in the 3rd month of Lirisa the Archer in the year of the Amber Phoenix, 437.
