Bio
Syianiha was born into a wealthy Rakash family in the southern forests of Riverhaven. She was taught secret family healing techniques and traditional Rakash folk songs by her birth mother, Belaset, and together became known for traveling through their village healing wounds and aches for aging and dying members of their small community. Her father, Arvawns, was a mighty Barbarian and was the village's militia leader. When Syianiha was still a baby, he was drafted into an army, and was killed in a skirmish not long after.
Determined to provide for her family, Belaset set out into the south to seek fortune in the Shops of Crossing, leaving Syianiha with only her healing talents and wit to survive. When two years had passed without word from her mother, Syianiha left her village and moved into the city of Riverhaven to earn a living.
It was around this time that she met one of her dearest, and most missed friends, Kaialoren who introduced her to the Empath Guild. Because of her mother's teachings, she was intrigued by these healers who simply laid their hands on someone to heal them. As she learned more and more the guild, she knew deep in her heart that the Empath Guild and their members could be her new family. Through her dealings with patients and passing merchants, she learned that her mother had been killed in a caravan raid. However, Syianiha saw hope in her future, though she was now an orphan and began training to be a Battle Empath, so she would never be a victim like her mother was.
Her career carried her north to Therengia, where she met her first love, Shotri. They had many adventures together, and after inadvertently aiding in the defense of the city of Langenfirth from the Dragon Priests, she found her battle training came in handy when an unprotected triage area became the epicenter of battle, she joined the local militia The Northern Watch Brigade.
Syianiha and Shotri's romance grew during their time together and they were nearly married, but Shotri's wanderlust became too much and he left Therengia, leaving Syianiha alone once again. Syianiha sought solitude on the mysterious island of Aesry where, wallowing in sorrow, she stayed for many years until her depression subsided and she returned to Therengia where she resides now.
These days Syianiha can be found talking with friends at the bin in Langenfirth and decorating her newly acquired home in Therenborough. Her romance with the warrior Achkilles is growing daily and she plans to redesign his dwelling in the Rakash Village.

Background
Early Years
Syianiha was born in Riverhaven, not far from the Empath Guild to Lys and Naul. The minute she turned 16, she joined the Empath Guild, following in her mother and grandfather's footsteps. She met Shotri very soon after joining the guild and when she turned 18, they began a whirlwind romance that eventually led to an engagement. Unfortunately their wedding was not meant to be, as Shotri disappeared a short while after never to be heard from again.
Adventuring
Syianiha doesn't have much wanderlust other than traveling between Riverhaven, Lang, and Theren. She feels very loyal to her people and country and would never be able to leave for any long amount of time.
Favored items
- a shield tooled with the visage of a fiercely mewling pink kitten
Crafted by the hand of a master smith, each tuft of pink fur tooled into the tinted steel looks real enough to fool all but the most perceptive observer. The face of the kitten is turned up in a petulant snarl as it bares its tiny fangs at any who would dare approach.
- a blackened silver ru'at bracelet inset with blue-white diamonds
Serpentine etchings reveal the cool gleam of silver, sweeping around each of the small diamonds carefully placed along the bracelet's arc.
