He is an asimar from the FR, but somethings may be useful with tweaking...Candella was a fair young maid from a noble house of Cormyr. She travelled throughout the fiefs of her father's and surrounding lands and fancied herself one day as a bard, perhaps serving the King, Azoun. She had a love of poetry and music and story. She would speak with the old, the wise, the funny and the strange always in search of a new tale or song.One day she met a group of adventurers who were passing through her village en route to Suzail, capital of Cormyr. They told her of their adventures and a quest that lay ahead of them. So taken by their tales was she that she decided there and then that she would have time enough to tell tales of others when she was older; now she wanted to make her own tales and adventure herself. She was still young, little more than fourteen summers when she left her home, stealing away in the dark of night and following the group who's tales had changed her destiny.At first they group tried to return her home fearing that she was too young and had been too cosseted by the easy life to survive long on the rough road of adventure. However, it soon became apparent to them that she was no shrinking little girl and could indeed hold her own within the group. And thus her adventure began.It came to pass that she fell in love with the leader of the group: Telidor, Paladin of Mystra. He was a great and handsome man, brave and virtuous. But sworn to his goddess he was chaste and true. She was still young in the ways of the world and would have Telidor to herself, but his restraint was strong and unknown to her he bore the blood of angels and was chosen by Mystra for some other great purpose.Time passed and Candella's unrequited love turned into lust. Telidor possessed a mighty sword and rumour amongst the group said that it could grant wishes. One night as he slept she crept to his side and wished for them to lie together for one night "as man and woman" and to save Telidor's anguish she asked for him to remember nothing of the deed.And so it was.As the months passed however, it became apparent the she was with child. At last after great torment she admitted to him what had happened so many months before. Hoping he would forgive her she was shocked when he disappeared into the night in a rage. By the light of dawn they found his body, fallen upon his own sword. His spirit rose before them. "Fear not for me my friends, I shall pass back unto my father's home. But my quest here has failed". They buried him in the field of green barrows and there the company parted with heavy hearts. His sword was buried with him, but Candella took his dagger to remember him by. Telidor had often said that it guided him upon his quest and somehow Candella hoped she could carry on the quest herself.But Candella lived a sad and lonely existence, birthing her child in the woods. She could not go on with the guilt in her heart so she sought a safe refuge for her young babe. Eventually Candella came upon DaggerFalls and therein the Blue Skies orphanage. She passed the child to Yarris along with his birthright: The Dagger, The eye of the Dragon.She died shortly after the birth and was buried in the cemetery of Lathander in Dagger Falls.Mel.</blockquote>
