Their roots on this world trace back into the far east of the Flanaess, from where they had fled to escape the oppression they had suffered from in these lands once known as the Great Kingdom of Aerdy. For some generations, the women in her family showed a considerable knack for arcane magic and often became sorceresses or followed similar traditions.One of Lenya's ancestors had the mixed blessing of mating with a fiend she had lured into this world with powerful spells, in exchange to providing their children with some amenities and protection. However, the result of this unspeakable act was not as expected. The children were still human, showing only little signs of their fiendish ancestry. Instead the magical talents of her offspring were raised considerably, but would lessen with every coming generation; many of them even showed a natural talent of wielding the arcane forces without any training at all. Another effect of this bonding was, that there were more daughters than sons born into the family, but this also would eventually grow back to normal levels over time. Needless to say, the fiend broke all of his promises as soon as it was discovered. He slew the mother in anger, but by then their first daughter had already disappeared with the rest of the family. This daughter became their youngest matriarch and she led her people west, far away from their home, to flee the oppression and the raising influence of the fiend. Thanks to her inborn magical talents, most of them made it alive, the wish of her mother finally coming true.All this lies four generations back by now. From the infernal deed remained only a story to scare the children, the full extent of it only known to the elders. The first daughter was the great-great-grandmother to Lenya, one of the children and the youngest daughter at this time. Like many before her, she also inherited an inborn talent, able to wield the raw fiendish magic slumbering within her - a rare gift and a mixed blessing as well. Lenya spent much of her time exploring and investigating her magical abilities and rarely met any people outside of her family and their close friends. Her extraordinary powers woke reactions of envy and rejection, further heightened by the prejudice the Rhennee suffered from already. For a century her family was now living in the County of Urnst, keeping to themselves the way the Rhenn-folk became used to, migrating the great lakes and rivers. Life was bearable, but the Rhennee were always shunned for their reputation as thieves and their secrecy.The isolation took its toll and Lenya grew anxious and restless with the years. There was so much to know and so little she had seen. When Lenya turned sixteen, she gave in to the calling and left for her own adventure. Before she set off, Lenya's mother gave her a silver medaillon, an old family heirloom, which depicts the first daughter, to protect her on her travels. Lenya first traveled westwards to the port city of Dyvers where others of her folk had settled, but after a few weeks she continued upcountry and to the capital city of Greyhawk. She managed to join up with a group of St. Cuthbert clergy bound for Verbobonc and from there she headed straight south with another group of travelers. And so Lenya came to Hommlet.Life in the small town was different than what Lenya had known in the past. There was only little prejudice and the smallfolk was cheerful and friendly. Especially Vesta, the daughter of the old owners of the Welcome Wench inn and its manager, who allowed Lenya to work there. Having spent all her coins on her travels by the time and lacking the deft fingers of her uncles and brothers to steal for a living, which for some reason Lenya also felt wrong about with these people, she was happy to find a place of employment as a tavern wench and a small room in the inn. First Lenya only wanted to collect just enough to continue her journey, but at some point she realized, that this was the best place she had been to in the past and so Lenya decided to stay. Summer came, winter went by, once, twice. It's now the third year of her staying in Hommlet and Lenya has found a few friends among the townsfolk even. Yet, she still fears for their reactions to the powers resting within her and has kept them a secret. And the secret of her ancestry she had left behind long ago, when she left her family, remembering only the scary stories her old grandmother had always told.[/SBLOCK]Family Tree:[SBLOCK]Martha (Lenya's great-great-great-grandmother (M); a conjurer) *412 CY †455 CY (slain by Infinitus)Infinitus (Lenya's great-great-great-grandfather (M); a demon of power, cunning, and rage) *unknown †unknownJana (Lenya's great-great-grandmother (M); Martha's first child; a sorceress of immense power) *439 CY †546 CY (died of old age)Thân (Lenya's great-great-grandfather (M); an Oeridian merchant-wizard) *448 CY †479 CY (slain in a bandit attack, refused resurrection)Kayla (Lenya's great-great-grandaunt; Martha's second child; a powerful warlock) *447 CY †unknownRowena (Lenya's great-great-grandaunt; Martha's third child; just a babe) *455 CY †455 CY (slain by Infinitus)Martha (Lenya's great-grandaunt; Jana's first child; a sorceress) *469 CY †553 CY (died of old age)Romanus (Lenya's great-granduncle; Jana's second child; Romana's twin-brother; a skilled thief) *473 CY †512 CY (suicide)Romana (Lenya's great-grandmother (M); Jana's third child; Romanus' twin-sister; a sorceress) *473 CY †512 CY (ride accident)Julian (Lenya's great-grandfather (M); a leatherworker) *469 CY †512 CY (slain by Romanus)Kylie (Lenya's great-grandaunt; Kayla's first child; an enchantress) *474 CY †507 CY (slain in a raid)Ferd (Lenya's granduncle; Romana's first child; a warrior) *496 CY †578 CY (died of old age)Anna (Lenya's grandmother (M); Romana's second child; a sorceress; current matriarch) *508 CYGeomer (Lenya's grandfather (M); a traveling merchant) *492 CY †unknown (missing since 557 CY)Kyle (Lenya's granduncle; Kylie's first child; a warrior) *501 CY †530 CY (drowned)Deirdre (Lenya's grandmother (P); a herbalist from Dyvers) *520 CYOlaf (Lenya's grandfather (P); a carpenter from Dyvers) *513 CYFerris (Lenya's uncle; Ferd's first child; a warrior) *527 CYFlorimel (Lenya's aunt; Ferd's second child; a rogue) *530 CYAeryn (Lenya's mother; Anna's first child; a sorceress) *541 CYSollis (Lenya's father; a warrior from Dyvers) *544 CY †584 CY (died in battle)Balon (Lenya's step-father; Aeryn's second husband since 587 CY; a warrior) *546 CYRenelaus (Lenya's uncle; Anna's second child; a rogue and leatherworker) *547 CYJoryn (Lenya's cousin; Ferris' first child; a young warrior) *560 CYPeet (Lenya's cousin; Renelaus' first child; a young warrior) *567 CYTanya (Lenya's cousin; Renelaus' second child; a young herbalist) *569 CYSheila (Lenya's sister; Aeryn's first child; a young illusionist) *567 CYLenya (herself; Aeryn's second child; a young warlock) *572 CYValeris (Lenya's brother; Aeryn's third child; a young rogue) *576 CY[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
