Backstory

Amberfields


  • Born as the illegitimate child of a nobleman and a soldier, Elly grew up well loved in a tiny home with her mother and adopted grandmother in the middle of town. Her mother, Calliope Wick, trained Elly to be a soldier like herself. As she grew, Elly became a remarkable swordswoman, regularly dueling city guards with her dual scimitars. 

  • At 16, Elly was manipulated into a relationship by Lyra Elphyra (345), a high elf city guard under her mother’s leadership. Lyra took advantage of Elly’s inexperience and began taking over her life. Elly quickly began to lose sleep, weight, and was forced to be distant from her family. Her mothers noticed the change immediately, but being a teenager and being fed lies by Lyra, she didn’t listen to any of their concerns and worries. Soon Elly began to lose all the muscle she had taken so long to build until the point where she could no longer train. 

  • It wasn’t until the The Raven Queen herself ordered Elly to resume eating, sleeping, and training regularly, that she was able to break out of Lyra’s hold a bit (after Ravenna begged her to intervene). In time, the Raven Queen continued to chip away at Lyra’s hold on her. 

  • When she was 17, a young red dragon attacked the city. All guards and soldiers were ordered to protect the palace and the noble families, leaving the poorer citizens defenseless. With Calliope too sick to fight and Ravenna trying to corral the citizens in a safe place, the burden of defending Ember Fields fell to Elly alone. With her scimitars and her wits, Elly managed to drive the drake off, saving the town from destruction. 

  • The final nail in the coffin for Lyra’s hold over Elly came when even Lyra refused to help the citizens during the dragon attack, instead fleeing into the palace with the rest of the soldiers of Ember Fields. 

  • After Elly broke it off with Lyra, Calliope and Ravenna ran her out of town, threatening bodily harm to her should she ever come near Elly again.
