part one.
Before the undead assaults on Falconreach were even thought of, a child was born, to no town but to open roads and skies, this child would come to learn to harness both light and dark elements. She was born on a horse drawn wagon, her parents moving north to the plains of Rennd. Her parents were of humble descent, her father(Alton) was a doctor(this being one of the reasons they took the risk of traving whilst Alton's wife was pregnant) and her mother(Cassandra) was a herbalist who studied plants and recorded the effects they had on humans, animals, monsters, magic and on any other species(sentient or non) she came across. This child's parents wanted a name for their daughter the would be unique yet familiar at the same time, and so the child was named Kitsondra, keeping with the -dra suffix of her mother. Young Kitsondra(or Kit, as she was called in the village that would one day become a kingdom) had always had a talent for magic and would one day catch the eye of a wizard staying in her village for the day before passing through. Kitsondra, while playing with her magi accidentally hurt a villager with flames of darkness. She then healed the villager with light magic catching the wizard by surprise. State that she had a rare "AB" soul, he went to her parents for permission to train her in the arcane. Her parents agreed believing that a mage's life, while hard, would be better then what they could offer her. So at the age of 11 Kit left with the man for a Wizard's tower and would be there for ten years.
While studying in the wizard's tower Kitsondra studied under 3 different masters. The one that interest her the most was a young prodigy by the name of Warlic. Warlic looked as young was she did however, for some reason, Kit could feel that he was much older then 17. After moving from her first master, the wizard that took her from her village, to her second master Kit spend a lot of time reading in the library and came across a book on the shadow universe. Interest that there were creatures that were made of both light and dark elements she began reading as much as she could find both these being and the universe they live in. At the age of 20 Kitsondra had finished mastering both light and darkness wizard training due to her natural talent for those elements. She would then buy a book from a traveling merchant that told of a cavern in a valley called Alnaphar that housed strange beings of shadow. Kitsondra wanted nothing more then to see this for herself and in a year would end her wizard training and set out south to find Alnaphar.
In the next 3 years Kit would search for and find the being called The Forgotten, She then spent another three years training and becoming a being of shadow. However due to her being a human then become a Forgotten, instead of being whatever it was that the Forgotten were before they changed, Kitsondra's transformation took on a different look. While she still looked very much human her body was now made of shadow and her once blue eyes turned a bright red and glowed whenever she was angry. Having a body made of shadow also meant that she would no longer age and could essentially live forever if she didn't anger someone or something stronger then her. She would spent many long years after this transformation honing these newfound powers forgetting and remembering about the world. At some point Kitsondra heard that 8 powerful orbs had been made; another time she saw that Falconreach was laid under siege by an army of undead; She heard that all but two of the guardian towers had been destroyed. Kitsondra wanting to see if she could take the skills she had honed over the years to greater heights traveled to an underground city called Ravenloss. However magic seemed to be weak during this age and Kitsondra wondered how she would learn anything. The cause of magic's ailment, in this age, was from a group called the "Rose" Kit learned from the people of Ravenloss. Kit had decided to go back to Alnaphar and try again a few years later when things had sorted themselves out when she saw a man siting on a bench and weaving a cape with a thread she had new seen before. The process entranced her. She wonder if she could do the same with her shadows......no, better yet what if she could mold with her shadows to take a solid form? If she and the Forgotten, Kitsondra thought, could form walls of shadows in the maze of Alnaphar then why couldn't they form items out of shadows like this man did with his glowing thread? After find out this man was called a Soul Weaver, Kit set off for Alnaphar.
