Roawen was born a warrior, very skilled in the art of battle, very cunning in the way of war. Born to Rallos Zek. Born an only child to a father who was more than disinterested in her. Born to a mother, as that is nature's way, but of this woman she will not speak.
She trained and fought and bled daily, but with no guidance and nothing of compassion from her god, the journey of war became tedious and severely out of balance with the way of things. In her tenth blade of training, a lioness thrashed and dying at her feet, she simply dropped her weapons and went home.
Roawen contemplated her need for balance. She had to find something that would directly effect balance in the world, or something that would its self be balance. Looking around her in the city of the Tier'Dal, she saw plenty of hatred being spread through the guise of the blade, and through the guise of dark magic. Inherent to the natural way of things, there must exist a light magic, but where she would find this light magic in the City of Hate, she did not know. But the thought of this ironic thing of being balance, and creating balance at the same time sent her searching for it.
The day came when she found the Temple of Innoruuk, the Prince of Hate, the Father of the Tier'Dal. The magic taught inside this Temple could not be described in any other way than light magic - yet it was to be used to benefit the Tier'Dal, to spread their Hate. Nothing short of absolute perfection this was for Roawen, and thus she began her training as a Priestess of Innoruuk. |
