The young paladin returned to Goldenfields in the waning days of summer in the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR. Armed with the knowledge that her mother lives, Bronwyn was determined to extract the truth from the man who raised her, Darvin Trueseed. Darvin was a simple farmer who believed in the value of a hard days work. To his credit, he raised a fine daughter and instilled in her strong values and the will to stand up for those who could not do so for themselves.

This uncomplicated man however, had preferred to live a lie for so long that he believed it truth. When his adopted daughter returned home with the experiences of the road in her eyes and the passion to know who she was, Darvin Trueseed could lie to her no further. Although Bronwyn had been raised to remember her mother as Lhondrah, this was not a true name. The name ‘Bronwyn’ as well, was not the one given to her from birth. These names were masks to hide the mother & daughter from a violent and dangerous past. The true name of her mother is Sefris and the paladin’s true name is ….. Iset.

Here is the surmised history as closely as you can interpret from the understandings of Darvin:

(dates in parenthesis refer to the Mulhorandi calender, origin circa -2135 DR)

1330 DR (3463 MR) Birth of Sefris Hecate - Skuld, Capital City of the Mulhorandi Empire

Sefris is born in the City of Gods to aristocratic parents in the service of the god-kings. She is the great grandaughter of Isis, goddess of weather, good magic and love, and becomes a priestess dedicated to her.

1354 DR (3488 MR) Sefris Weds

Sekhemmet, a Paladin of Horus-Re, takes Sefris as his wife.

1357 DR (3490 MR) Birth of Iset (Bronwyn) - Unthalass, Capital City of Unther

Bronwyn born as Iset (meaning “Isis is beautiful” in the Mulhorandi tongue). Her parents lead an underground resistance against the Tyrant-King Gilgeam, supreme ruler and god of the lands of Unther.

1358 DR (3493 MR) The Time of Troubles

Gilgeam slain by Tiamat, chaos reigns in Unther as the country falls into civil war. Sekhemmet is slain by the personal assasin of Gilgeam, Sherrupak “The Reaver.” Sefris & Iset flee far to the west and take new names.

1359 DR (3494 MR) A new life in Goldenfields – Western Heartlands

Goldenfields is founded by Tolgar Anuvien, former member of the Company of Crazed Venturers. Attracted by stories of a walled compound devoted to the harvest, Lhondrah and Bronwyn join Goldenfields by years’ end. Lhondrah takes comfort in the arms of Darvin Trueseed, who welcomes the pair into his home.

1361 DR (3496 MR) Call of the Goddess

Sefris receives a vision from Isis which demands return to her war-torn homeland. She decides to leave her child in the care of Darvin and writes a letter to be opened upon Bronwyn’s 18^th birthday. Making no promise to return, Sefris leaves for the Old Empires. Darvin, never able to understand the decision, tells Bronwyn that her mother has passed away.

1371 DR (3506 MR)

Mulhorand invades Unther.

1372 DR (3507 MR) The Year of Wild Magic

Midsummer….campaign started. Bronwyn leaves Goldenfields. Age 17.

My beautiful daughter,

So long as the most dangerous servant of Gilgeam draws breath, your survival must be one of secrecy. Forgive me child, my love for you is boundless as the bounty at High Harvestide. Yours will be a life without war. My dearest Iset, take this not for granted.

My fate is the will of the Goddess.

With love eternal,

Sefris
