OOC Note: The following information is Sabina’s true background; it will differ than what she may say in game so please use this just for your knowledge not your pc’s. Thanks and enjoy.
Sabina Lian’nocen
Born 1222, in the Drow settlement beneath the Vanrakdoom (temple of Shar) located near the Undermountain, which lies beneath the city of Waterdeep.
Father: Tebryn Lian’nocen, General in the Dark Army of the Night
Mother: Chalithra Lian’nocen, High Priestess in the temple of Vanrakdoom
Older Brother: Alak Lian’nocen, Member of the Dark Army of the Night
Older Sister: Akordia Lian’nocen, Priestess in the temple of Vanrakdoom
Adult description: Sabina stands 5’2’ tall, weighing a mere 90 lbs. While her delicate and beautiful features are clearly elven, she appears like no elf of Aynnor. He skin is dark, and her hair a brilliant shade of crimson. Her eyes match her hair, and she pains her lips to do the same. Those of Faerunian heritage may suspect her to be Drow, though only those with great knowledge of Drow would know of that rarity of red hair amongst their kind. While by no means muscular, Sabina’s body is perfectly toned from head to toe, and every muscle shows chiseled definition. She moves with the speed and grace of an acrobat, and often can be seen scantily clad in outfits that do not inhibit her dexterity in the least. Her looks are both exotic and beautiful, and her voice can be equally charming when she chooses to speak.
Age 15 (6 human): The settlement was attacked by Lothan Drow, many were killed and some of the priestesses where taken deeper into the Underdark as prisoners. Tebryn, her father was among those that were killed and her mother and sister were taken prisoner. Sabina was placed in the care of the temple by her brother.
Age 40 (10 human): Began training to be a monk and returned to live at the family house. Alak, her brother married and moved to a house of his own.
Age 70 (15 human): [/color] While traveling in the Undermountain tunnels, on the way back from the market, Sabina’s caravan was attacked by raiders. Some were killed others taken and sold to Lothan Drow as slaves. In captivity for several weeks, Sabina and a few others were rescued by her brother and a few Shades and Shadowdancers. It was then she knew what she wanted to become.
Age 100 (18 human): Sabina petition to become a member of the Dark Moon. To prove herself she was given the pilgrimage of traveling to the temples of Shar by teleporting or her own means of transportation. She was to study at each for a period of time under their clergy. When completed she would be accepted into the order.
She traveled with a few others to Cormyr and the city of Saerloon. She was to report to “The Darkhouse” which was located within a lighthouse. She stayed there for just over a year and trained under Kerri Dundragon. She was taught discipline and to focus her inner strength. She left with another small caravan on their way to the Unapproachable East.
She reported to “The Cult of the Shadow” in Tsurlagol. This was known as the third temple of Shar and headquarters of the local thieves guild, the Sharwomen. It was for women only but open to both sexes since the parallel male-oriented thieves guild was disbanded. Travel in this area was dangerous because of the temple of Selune, “The Rising Moon”. She studied under Pavel Nemetsk, a Shadowdancer which taught her about the shadows and how to use them. She waited for a group to be going toward Amn, after a few years, Kara Bersk, the temple’s Arch Mage teleported her to Amn.
Sabina arrived at “The Dark Embrace”. This temple perched atop a crag, overlooking the midpoint of the traderoad linking Imnesear and Esmeltaran. Most of the clergy here were Nighcloaks and she was to train under Aubrt Heldynstar a high priest, which taught her the dogma of Shar. She did not stay long as she was not as interested in what the priest and priestess had to follow, but more so about the shadows. She respected Shar and was a faithful follower but her heart’s desire was to serve the shadows themselves. After a few weeks she joined a caravan going to Calimshan.
The next temple was “The Temple of Old Night” in the city of Calimport. This is the oldest and haughtiest of all the temples she had been to. It was a subterranean complex underlying much of the Eastern city. Her contact here was Irtemara. She was taught more on the shadows and had to undergo a series of tests to prove she was ready for the last and most important temple she would travel to. It was over a year but her faith and dedication passed all of the tests and she was sent through a portal into the Shadow Plane.
She arrived at what she thought was the last temple, “Fane of Shar”, on the Netherese, enclave of Thultanthar. Under the temple were the Archives that contained all of their faith’s records. The temple itself was lined with black wood screens. She had a couple contacts here; Rivalen Tanthul and Variance Amatick. Both gave her a tour of the city and to another temple “The Hall of Shadows”. She was trained and tested by several of their Priestesses and Monks. It had been a couple years since Sabina had arrived in the City of Shadows, and she was finally allowed to attend a special ceremony. She and several others were teleported to another location.
“Fane of Shadows” this is also known as “The Temple of Night” or the “Umbral Shrine”. It was created by Shar, located within the Lightless Lake (The Moonmere) in the Guthmere Forest. It only materialized during a certain date at midnight and stays for only a short time. The entirety of the temple was situated on an invisible platform encapsulated within a dome of air. The architecture included black-veined columns, grateful arches, and thick pillars all crafted from marble, basalt, obsidian, or ebony. The Fane of Shadows is guarded by a host of shadows inside the courtyard area. They were only hostile to those not subservient to the shadow.
When they returned back to Thultanthar she gathered her things and was teleported to a temple of her choice. She decided to return to Tsurlagol and “The Cult of the Shadow” where she would continue her training till it was time for her to be inducted into the order of The Dark Moon.
Age 150 (23 human): Sabina was out on an assignment and had just set up camp when a portal appeared not far from her. The winds were pulling at her so she gathered her things and walked into the portal. She thought the portal was sent to take her on the next stage of her journey but little did she know it was just a coincidence and it was going to take her to a whole new life.
