History
Born in the outskirts of Leth Deriel, Terra was raised by her parents in a very sheltered, typical Elven childhood for the first 30 years. Both of her parents were devotees of Tamsine and were frequent visitors of her abbey south of the Elven stronghold. While she enjoyed her simplistic life for the most part, something in her stirred for more, she wanted answers. She seeked adventure and to unravel the mysteries of the world. Big dreams for a small Elf. Too soon was her day of depature to come.
A band of gypsies were travelling along the Southern Trade Route, heading North to their home west of Therengia. Taken by their carefree, jubilant demeanors Terra penned a note to her parents the night gypsies made camp near her home and joined them on their trip home, seeking the thrill of adventure. Days and nights they travelled, going through a bustling town called the Rivercrossings and crossings rivers and one lake before they made it to the place they called home. Known as the Ker'Leor Forest, the woods seemed more twisted than what Terra was used to (nearly akin to the Forest of Night!) and the gypsies seemed to have adopted a more hostile attitude when home.
Feeling she gained as much as she possibly could from her gypsy hosts, Terra headed even further west through the Gemfire mountains, a treck she barely survived. By the time she began her descent on the other side, she was starving and incredibly thirtsy when she spotted a desert. Seeing no hope in sight, she collapsed to her knees and had resigned herself to give up. Hours passed when she woke to the sound of a loud voice followed by the straining and jerking of a rope. After her vision adjusted, she opened her eyes to see a barge moving through the sand being pulled by incredible hulking beasts. She quickly began to back away from the sight, before she bumped into a group of passerby's who saw her distraught state and merely chuckled, informing her that it was a sand barge leading to the great city of Muspar'i.
Giving her food and water, the group of adventurers said that they were heading to the great trade city to see the Dancing of Flames, put on by the Bard guild leader Selinthesa. Upon arriving in front of the massive city gates, Terra's heart swelled with joy and after hours of exploring the amazing city by day, she huddled near the Street of Performers at night to witness one of the most beautiful performances she'd ever seen. When all was said and done, Terra cautiously approached the beautiful S'Kra leader and inquired about studying within. Thus began her journey as a Bard.
