Growing up at first in an overcrowded orphanage, she went out on her own a lot, got into trouble, and finally ran away entirely. She lived on the streets until a one-eyed beggar who went by the name Old Squint took her under his wing and began teaching her to defend herself, to be effective at crime, and of course to bring him much of the profits.One night though, she was awakened by shadowy figures swooping on her where she lay. Before she could react, she was gagged, stuffed into a bag, and carried off into the night.She was taken to a strange place; a large building of carved granite, peopled by grim, silent men and women in black cassocks. The Quiet Tabernacle. Here she was given the ultimatum...she would learn, or die. And what they taught was how to move without a sound, where and how to strike to bring death, and of course obedience. Always obedience.The girl who was given the name Kestrel by the monks of the Quiet Tabernacle learned her lessons quickly and well. Through misery and terror, she was a survivor first. But all through the training, all through doing what was required and saying what they wanted to hear, she never forgot herself, and never quite let go of the desire to one day be free of them. No matter what it would take.Recently, as Kestrel drew close to the end of her training, she recieved a missive from one of the shadowy guildmasters of the Tabernacle, instructing her to go to the hamlet of Hommlet and investigate the rumors of ancient temples and strange powers that have reached his ears.[/sblock]</blockquote>
