  • Full Name: Kassaerth Ssalaresh

Life in Drotid

Arriving in Ferrell

On one of her typical month long hunts, Kassaerth tracked her prey through miles of the T'Nanshi forest, blissfully unaware of the political winds swirling around the land. As Kassaerth finally closed in on the panther she tracked, several elves stepped into the same clearing. Without speaking, the elves immediately drew daggers and charged. Kassaerth ran, her long legs gradually outpacing the shorter elves. For hours she ran, from tree to tree, clearing to clearing, and quickly learned to avoid contact with other locals, as arrows whizzed past her head. As the sun mercifully sank beneath the trees, Kassaerth found herself in the rolling hills of Ferrell, safe for the moment. Upon speaking to the Ferrell natives, Kassaerth learned that war had broken out between Drotid and T'Nanshi, and that her return home through the woods was now impossible.

Adjusting

Kassaerth quickly scouted the hills and plains surrounding Port Eridanus, familiarizing herself with her interim home. First and foremost, Kassaerth found fertile hunting grounds, ranging from several caves in and around Port Eridanus to the Roseberry Woods and the canyons of Little Falls. Although she was, and at times still is, greeted with mistrust by the warmbloods, she grew to know, and even befriend, several over time. Still not terribly social, Kassaerth can sometimes be described as showing affection for certain warmblood friends; Jalya, Auryna, MJ, Ace, Fletcher, Pan'na, and Delurion, among others. The local merchants grew to know that Kassaerth was willing to buy and sell necessities, always honest and rarely haggling over prices. Kassaerth's attempts at adjustment to life in Ferrell included renting a room at the Port Hole, in an attempt to fit in with the locals. After a few months, her restless nature took over as she returned to the wild, owning only what she could carry with her. Finally, some years later, Kassaerth has come to a curious peace between her solitary nature and social interaction, often spending weeks at a time on a far flung hunt, but also returning to the Port or Kitanya Hill to trade and speak with the locals.

Branching Out

Although Ferrell provided suitable hunting grounds and some challenges, Kassaerth's wandering nature made her long to again hunt in the T'Nanshi forests and Drotid swamps. Eventually, Kassaerth learned to take the form of certain forest creatures, and spent some time wandering T'Nanshi as a panther, wolf, and badger. During her travels, she learned of others capable of taking more forms. Other forms would allow her further access to lands at war with Drotid, and would add to her skills as a Huntress, so Kassaerth pursued the rumors of such abilities as vigorously as any she pursued any prey. In time, Kassaerth learned the secrets of shapeshifting, and began to spend more time in T'Nanshi, particularly near Zvidureth as a wyrmling named Jaxxa.

Companions

Kassaerth often travels and hunts with one or more animal companions with which she has formed a strong bond. Some of her frequent companions are noted here.
