Background

Born Lady Rebecka Vanuerin in her father's keep near the Ker'Leor mountains, Rebecka's early life was privileged. She was trained in the ways of Therengian nobility and her duty to the family, including fancy needlework and courtly manners. Rebecka's mother died when Rebecka was twelve, following an illness that some rumors said was poison by Lord Vanuerin's political rivals. Though heartbroken over the loss of his beloved wife, Lord Cristic had no son, so he eventually married again. By this time, Rebecka, now sixteen, found herself falling for a young squire training for knighthood at Vanuerin Keep. She knew it was forbidden, and that she had been promised to another. She resolved to do her duty as she had been taught. She knew she would disgrace herself and dishonor her family if she chose the squire, but her heart and youthful impulse won over mind and duty. The young couple agreed to marry when they reached Ilithi. They traveled to Zoluren together, but planned to travel the rest of the way separately, in case her father's guards were hunting them. Rebecka went ahead under the guise of a poor Empath, while he stopped to purchase the necessary rose. Though she waited for him, she never saw her squire again. Later, she heard rumors he had been shipped to Muspar'i as punishment. Rebecka's escapade lead to her disinheritance, and she quietly raised her son alone in western Ilithi. When his sister Avreniala disappeared, Rebecka's son, Adairion, went searching for her. After she lost contact with Adair, Rebecka went searching for them both. She is still looking for them.

A polished khor'vela floor spreads across this room into surrounding pastel violet stenciled walls. A polished platinum brazier, with a black banner honoring Morzindu Vanuerin hanging above it, stands guard over the large teakwood bed and lustrous satinwood table that rest upon a deep-fringed white wool carpet covering the floor. A lingering scent of phofe flowers fills the air. You also see an arched window framed in dried wildflowers, a cross-braced and reinforced plank door, a stencilled flower motif chair that is facing the table and an elegant dark sana'ati chest with blackened moonsilver filigree with a miniature Ilithi peach tree set in a large clay pot on it.

• Look banner: Traditionally used to honor the noble house, the symbol has been masterfully stitched. The black banner is embroidered with the image of a winter emerald from Ker'Leor in the center of a purple corbane flower, the crest of House Vanuerin. Beneath the flower are the words "Usho cam naronas."

• On the satinwood table you see a fist-sized sungold globe set upon a conical blackened moonsilver base and a fragile porcelain cup filled with fragrant black tea and a slice of lemon.
