Moira Celyn is the daughter of Bernart Celyn and Irisil Thendrin. Bernart was a caravan leader and merchant who preferred life on the road and traveling. Though considered georgio, he drew on his mother's romini roots for many of his beliefs and customs. Irisil was an herbalist and the principal healer for the people who traveled with the caravan.
For most of Moira's childhood she was traveling with her parents, returning only once in a while to the Celyn family homestead found northeast of M'Chek's Finmaegan Keep. But danger pressed in as Sereg attacked M'Chek forces along the border, then in Mikona, then even Elysia, and her parents decided it was for the best that Isiril and Moira stay in the relative safety of their small village while Bernart led another caravan to Elysia. It was a decision they would bitterly regret.
When the Spite first made its appearance in a nearby village, Irisil made her way there to try to help with this strange new sickness. She contracted the very disease she had hoped to cure, locking herself in her room to try to stop from spreading the disease further, and there she died.
The village was in turmoil as the warnings and rumors of this new illness spread. The village elders moved quickly, and put to the torch any house where the Spite was found. Moira watched in helpless terror as her home became her mother's funeral pyre.
Bernart returned only a few days later to find this disaster. He quietly gathered his best gear suited for hunting in the underdark, gave his daughter his holy symbol, kissed her goodbye, and disappeared from Moira's life.
