Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

Alicia was the wife of Valen in old Khepathia. For several hundred years, this Eladrin-Raelfaen couple ruled lovingly over a large and verdant manor and vineyard known as Ravenswell. Together they bore three daughters: Oamrissa, Giladna and Gif’r’nay. Oamrissa, the eldest, was cold of heart although grim toward the ceaseless doings of her duties in life and love. Gildadna was the closest with her father as together they made the finest wine that creation has ever known. The youngest, Gif’r’nay, would grow to marry Blendhaven, the first sherriff of the Dreamwater.

Alicia was a artisan of unsurpassed skill and grace with eladrin anvil and tempering hammer. Such was her power, so trustingly given by the Court of the Archfey that she contructed the three Swords of Glory: Stykarein, Laressa, and a third whose name is lost to the Ocean of Time.

Wee Jas, who deceived all the family and influtrated their circle as the fey creature called Amadae, pitted the daughters against their parents in relentless games of jealousy and power to their eventual undoing. In the confusion of the Fall of Khepathia and the rise of the First Sherriff, the daughters saw their mother as the enemy and while Valen was defending the land from the scores of demons rising from the Abyss with his son-in-law, the sherriff, they cursed their mother to become the Anethamancer. Then it was that, forever changed, by once gracious eladrin hands, the three Swords of Doom were forged and became the most powerful tool of evil the land could ever know. The Anethamancer killed her own daughter Giladna in the courtyard of the family home of Ravenswell.

In future centuries, Oamrissa would become the Blind Queen of Old Fang and Omonyr, and Gif’r’nay would go one to bear three sons of her own with Blendhaven. Valen, in self exile, would journey west to the verdant valleys of Gildensong and form a nation of peace there. As the sad King, Valen would rule Gildensong for over three hundred years.
