Aashera Elend

Aashera Elend grew up in the town of Nost under the Duchy of Duke Mordraine Brackard. She is the eldest of three children of Ander and Moena Elend and the granddaughter of Eles Elend.

Aashera has slightly olive skin, and dark brown hair, echoes of her mother's people from the far east. She was a beauty even from childhood, and the desire of many of the young men in the town from her teens on. At sixteen, many of the Duke's men began to take note as well, though Aashera managed to avoid any serious confrontation with them.

Aashera grew up in the woods around Nost. She spent more time out in the wilds than at home and became a skilled tracker, hunter, and archer.

At twenty one, Aashera was "Conscripted" into Duke Brackard's army as one of the camp women, ostensibly to cook and clean. Along the campaign trail against Duke Therion, one of the captains of the army attempted to bed her forcibly in his tent. She casterated him and accidentally severed a major artery in the area, eventually causing his death. After that, she immediately fled into the wilds.
