But by blood she was not accounted as one of the high born, no, she was of a more common breed of the faerie folk. To continue living in a world where she would always be considered inferior was too much, when just across the veil between worlds was a land in which she could be considered a great and noble lady. She travelled to that other land, Arca Terra it was called, and adopted some of the mannerisms of the noble fairies. Setting aside the traditional warrior paths of the elves, she trained to wield blade and shield, dressed in elaborate mail such as one of the eladrin might wear, though of much poorer quality. It would do to turn away enemy weapons, however, until she could aquire more suitable dress. However, she could not bring herself to put down the curved blades favoured by her kin and pick up the straight edged sword of the noble warriors. At heart she was still an elf, though she pretended otherwise, and the scimitar was more suited to her deadly precision and sharp temperment.He was a scion of those tainted by the incursion of the legions of Hell. Plagued with a fiery temper, it was difficult to fit in anywhere for very long. Where many of his kin bought into that collective guilt over their ancestors deeds, he had little patience for the mistakes of the past. More concerning was what the curse meant for today, and tomorrow. He wandered the lands of Arca Terra for many years before stumbling upon an enclave of people living deep in the frontier, a place that would change him forever. Here they worshipped Melora, the goddess of the wild places, and communed with nature in a peculiar sort of peace. It was not that they were not beset by dangers most regularly, but they were at peace with those dangers, with the trials of living. Here he settled down for a while, and studied the ways of Melora with the priests. He learned to embrace his infernal nature, not as something to be loathed, but as something that could bring him closer to the natural world around him, where rage, anger and pain were all a part of life. He took control of his curse, where as before the curse had often taken control of him. They met while travelling in a caravan back into the desert. She was drawn to him by his, familiarity, owing to his embracing of life, which reminded her in a small way of home. He was drawn to her for a similar reason, a fellow creature who merged both the civilized and the savage, though her otherworldly grace and beauty were of some help. They make a strange couple, perhaps, pulling from opposite ends of a spectrum towards a shared centre. They cannot be said to be motivated by noble intentions, though perhaps through chance they might accomplish noble deeds. She desires wealth and fame to suit a queen, and there are many who would pay well to be rid of the darkness. He is content to follow her, to guide her in a world that is still alien. If that means some danger, and a chance to eliminate obstacles to a good a natural life, then so much the better.She is Birel. He is Amnon. Together, they might just change the world.</blockquote>
