Kiyana Dolenox, Vol. 1

Kiyana was born on the outskirts of a small village found deep within a forest. She herself recalls not the name of the area, nor the woods that were her home, and in truth spent little of her time in the company of her people, this being due to the fact that her mother was considered an outcast by the society. Kiyana grew quickly in her youth, learning a few tricks of healing from her mother, always in preparation for the future. It was at the age of one hundred that Kiyana did begin the series of trials, or quest if you prefer, that would grant her adult status in the eyes of her peers. Three tasks, she was to preform, and the first two were completed with ease. The third, Kiyana did explain to me, was one that could take a lifetime to achieve, and as she was considering where to go, and what to do, in order to discover her path, she was taken in an ambush by of group of Drows from the House Baerne. She was then taken into their lands of the underdark, and made servant to a Drow matron by the name of Liriel. Under her mistress, Kiyana was forced to preform menial tasks, curing light wounds and fevers. Of course this Drow woman had other intentions, for she was quite interested in the study of half breeds, and this is where Kiyana did come in most useful. For thirty years Kiyana was forced to do her Mistress's work, and after all that time, never produced the half elf, half drow Liriel was seeking. In anger, the drow female sought to take Kiyana life, leaving her on the stairs of death deep within the dark tunnels of the lair to which had been her prison. By a faint miracle, Kiyana was able to drag herself to freedom, and once again breathed the pure, clean air of the surface world, basking in the golden rays of the sun. Again fate did smile on Kiyana,and she was soon discovered in her damaged state by a human male by the name of Gradlieh, a kindly fellow who, with the aid of his family, nursed her back to health. This human was merchant who traveled the lands, frequenting the township of Shasarazade, and when Kiyana's natural healing talents were discovered, they urged her to join the guild of clerics, where she studied for sometime before devoting her skills to that of the healer profession. This is when Kiyana's life in the civilized lands of Thera did begin. Her natural abilitieshelp her much, and not long after she entered the Tower of Savants as a student. She met many people as she traveled the lands, and soon fell in love with another of her kind, an elf by the name of Khileg who at the time held the throne of Val Miran as king. It was not long after their wedding that Kiyana did fall into a deep coma, one that would hold her prisoner for many years. When finally she did awake, it was like entering a new world. Her Khileg had vanished, and she had been removed from the Savants, who had assumed the worst and believed her to be dead. It was like starting again, but Kiyana was not afraid, and quickly entered into society again. Once, not long after she did return, her husband, Khileg, she did see, but he did not remember her, nor much of anything else. After time she was able to heal most of his memory, though it was a bit distorted, and he accused Kiyana of infidelity, then soon after divorced her. After that, she never saw him again, and though mourn she did for his loss, she learned and moved one as we all must sometimes do. Again Kiyana sought entry into the Tower, and was welcomed back with open arms. Soon after this Kiyana made a slight mistake, attacking someone in the city limits of Rheydin. Namaste, who was leader of this fine city at the time ordered her wanted, and did send the Justice organization after her. Kiyana, being a lawful woman, did turn herself in, and after a short time spent in a musty jail cell she was released, and quickly made her apologizes to the city and its leaders. That was when she officially met Namaste, and soon again love did find her, and she was married. From this union, a child was recently born to them, a son named Rialian Dolenox, who is being raised on another plane, safe from those who have since conspired to hurt the child. Kiyana has seen and witness much in this world, and I imagine soon her final quest will be completed, doing a greater good for Thera and its people. Kiyana is one of deep compassion and kindness, always willing to aid those around her in any possible way.
