Her father, Ankhin Taskerhill, had little time for her or her mother after Annah was born. From an early age, she felt that it was her right to lead others whether or not they be commoners or nobles. She used her remarkable gift with words and her exotic good looks to gather together a group of young Cauldronite socialites into her inner circle. Out of this circle of admirers she formed an adventuring group known as The Stormblades, which included Cora Lathenmire, <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/3784749-post29.html" target="_blank">Todd Vanderboren</a>, and Zachary Aslaxin II (see below).</p><p></p><p>The Stormblades soon became known as Cauldron City's most well known adventuring group due to Annah's persuasiveness. Her song's of Stormblade glory brought prestige to the young nobles and their families. Other adventuring groups known throughout the Dominion of Cauldron never had as notable a standing as The Stormblades — that is, until the founding of the Order of the Silver Hand in 750 N.C. The Order was everything that The Stormblades were not and the two groups soon became rivals, at least in the minds of The Stormblades.</p><p></p><p>Annah took an instant dislike to the members of the Order since they were commoners and did everything she could to discourage the other Stormblades from associating with them. She even went so far as to offer membership to an old traveling companion and rival of Toryn Stonecutter, a foppish and cruel swashbuckler from the Kingdom of Stonn named Ionesco Valdeshar. Valdeshar was of noble birth and he fit right in with the other Stormblades but Annah soon came to resent him for his twisted sense of honor.</p><p></p><p>That resentment turned to hate after the group forced her to step down as leader of The Stormblades. It had been her decision to take on a mission that lead the Stormblades to be trapped on the Abyssal layer known as Occipitus. While struggling to survive there, the other members of the group voted her out as leader and chose Ionesco to replace her. Her anger towards the swashbuckler nearly got them killed and if the Order of the Silver Hand hadn't come to their rescue the young nobles would have perished as they were betrayed by young Vanderboren who is now the new demon lord of Occipitus.</p><p></p><p>The Stormblades, as a group, dissolved shortly thereafter.</p><p></p><p>Annah did not take her failures well and her time in the Abyss left her scarred and near catatonic. She fell into a deep depression and refused to leave her family's home. She spent the next few months wandering around the halls of the Taskerhill Estate outside the city wailing sad dirges. Her father, unable to stand her moods any longer, had her sent away to an insane asylum in the City of Shaule just before the Cagewright crisis in the Dominion of Cauldron nearly destroyed the capital city. She spent over a year in Shaule, nearly forgotten by her family.</p><p></p><p>After her father's death, Annah inherited the rulership of House Taskerhill but was in no condition to run it. Her grandfather, Jacob Taskerhill, took control of the mercantile house and took control of the care of his granddaughter. He moved her to a local hospice outside of Shaule where she was cared for by a upper-middle class family known as The Bredleders. It was here that Annah found the strength to heal her mind and her heart. She met and fell in love with Timur Bredleder, a young ranger of Ehlonna. The two were married soon after and the couple moved to the Dominion of Cauldron in 755 N.C. They have a one-year-old daughter named Hannah.</p><p></p><p>Annah and Timur now control the holdings of House Taskerhill.

Annah has let go of the hate she had for the Order and even sworn an oath of fealty to Hezekiah Grofus, the new Lord Mayor of Cauldron and another member of the Order. The former Stormblade doesn't adventure anymore and considers that part of her life over.
