PCs:Shana Merlin

My name is Shana Merlin.

I am a Half-Elf Sorceror. I will do whatever is required, as long as the result is Right and Honourable. I follow the teachings of Dru'El.

I am Cousin to the many sisters of the Swift family.

My father is Human and my mother is Elven. They live near Elysia. I have listened to so many family arguments and rows over the rights and wrongs of the War that I am tired of it all. I have run away from home to escape all of this. I work in the farmland around Elysia, to earn my keep, aided by my faithful companion Byton, who is a beautiful panther.

Occasionally, we venture into the City for supplies. We used to supply a local alchemist in the city, but he doesn't seem to want to buy from me any more.

Sometimes, I venture into the Human lands and the city of M'Chek, but the guards there are so rude to me. Humans!!

Then again, I have travelled to the Elven city of LeOrT'Nanshi. Even there, the guards do not seem to like me very much. It seems that each pure-bred race sees me as part of their enemy's race. I am shunned everywhere. It is a very lonely life.

I continue to study and develop my magical powers. I try to help those who have been injured by the war - the civilians, the sick, the old and the young. I have applied to join the Ivory Order, in the hope that I may be more effective in helping those in need - even if it does mean going into the city of the Humans again.

As I am related to both sides, I must try to remain neutral in the War - how can I side with either my mother or father against the other one?

I hope that some day we can all live together in peace, but that is probably rather naive. I am still young after all.

I serve my Lord Dru'El with Honour and with all my heart, Shana Merlin.
