Faern Luth (Lindorm)

Her appearance and childhood:
Hwe mother named her Faern but that quickly changed. When she was born Faern looked and acted like every normal human but when she started to grow her appearance change into something unhuman. Her brown eyes changed into blood red and the right one looked like the eyes of a snake, horns grow out of her skull and grey and black scales all over her left face all the way down to the left hand. The fingers on her left hand changed into clawlike paws.

The other kids were afraid and avoided Faern so she started to hide it with wearing a hood and bandages on the arms, always asking why she is so different from the others. The people soon started to call her Lindorm and not Faern. Lindorm a creature living in the sea, a dragonlike snake hiding in the water with red staring eyes and grey scales, able to destroy a whole ship in an instant, the nightmare of every sea men. The citizens started to avoid her and her family. Merchants didn't hired her fathers sword anymore afraid of being attacked by the sea snake and no one wanted to buy the service of her mother's repairing shop anymore.

So she left and started travelling through the world all on his own trying to find a place to live.

Arrival in Rathnir:
After travelling for a long time she landed in Rathnir and set food on the continent of Sorgliste, where she settled down in Not_Venice. Even though the young woman was still hiding her scales and horns she finally felt welcomed, maybe because there were a lot of other volks like goblins and other half humans. The citizens were really kind and helpful so she stayed. Built a little house with a garden and some greenery and lived a normal live as a builder and bard.

The first dream:
One day Not_Venice got attacked by a group of Bandits. Right in front of Faerns's eyes they slaughtered the unarmed citizens taking their loot. When one of them turned into her direction she was too afraid to move. The eyes of the bandits were black, cold and emotionless like the ones of a dead, a wide grin appeared on his face and he started running in her direction, his axe swinging over his head. Right and right when he reached Lindorm and when his axe started to cut through skin and bones and when the sudden sting of pain reached her she woke up, sitting straight upward in her bed. The dream felt so real that it was hard to imagine it was just a dream. On this already awful day Lindorm recieved a letter, her father was dead, He died during an attack of a sea creature..

The urgent wish to visit her remaining family again started to grow deep inside Faerns chest and so she started travelling again. And with that a new chapter in her live began.

Arrival in Eldham:
During her travel to the family a storm accured and the ship lost the orientation. After some time of sailing without any orientation beside the stars and the sun they finally saw land. But it wasn't her old home but Eldham. Soon after the crew and Lindorm went on land they got attacked by bandits, while they were running for their lives Lindorm lost the rest of the crew and now was alone again. Too afraid to return to their camp Faern started walking forward. Hungry, tiered and without any shelter or place to stay she couldn't help but feeling hopeless. But a person, called The_Dead_Jester, from the Empire Druk Yul found her, and brought her to the capital Dragon's Point and offered food and shelter. They soon became friends and Lindorm stayed there for a while. In the city of Dragons she also came in touch with the ancient religion of Theios of the Lost Trinity. When Faern saw the fire pits burning in blue ghostlike fire she started to feel a weird kind of whispering. A bit confused she stepped back and went out to a walk trying to shake of these sounds, without success.

The whispers made her nervous and were annoying in the beginning but she got used to it until they were barely recognisable. She moved on with her live in Dragon's Point, although she missed her home back in Not_Venice.

The Horse War
After some time passed a war started to spread also called the 'Horse War' and it turned out to be a lesson for Lindorm. A lesson that she was weak and helpless and just depending on others. Even though Druk Yul won the war which no one was expecting, Lindorm lost a dear friend. The_Dead_Jester also commander of the military got mentally attack during the preparation time. That drove the commander insane causing him to sacrifice himself to the Old Dragons throwing himself into the blue firepit. He burned and died right infront of Lindorms eyes. Even though she had tried to stop him it was too late.. a sudden pure flame of anger and sadness grow in her chest. Of course was angry was also directed towards those who made Jester going insane but the person that he blamed the most were herself. She was there with him trying to convince him that not everything is lost but it didn't worked out, she've lost a friend and she even wasn't able to help her parents when she still was a child. She just ran away and after the Horse war ended she did it again. Even though she wanted to change she once again run away, away from Eldham away from bad memories and back to Rathnir. To her save comfortable home and the welcoming citizens and friends in Not_Venice, who had no idea what a coward she was.

A new start (founding of Tolomar):
Soon after Faern returned to Not_Venice a person called Mat appeared in front of her door. He seemed euphoric and happy but also a bit tired, in his hand he held a book. The book was talking about a royal family that once lived not far away from here. It told about a catastrophy that destroyed the town and killed nearly all of the royal members, it was told only one was able to flee. The curiosity took over and so she followed him, who also talked with two other citizens from Not_Venice, Karl and his wife LoveCraft, so the four founded the city Tolomar, based on the ruins of a preexisting city they decided to rebuild it and to find out what the catastrophy the book was talking about were.

Even though when Lindorm and Mat argued a lot and had different opinions on various topics they worked together really well and the city grow a lot. New buildings where created, the market area was build and ships started to arrive ready to do trading. They also found out that the ruined city once was protected by a sea guardian. After some more exploration they found him. Still alive and sealed in the dark waters of a ravine right infront of the city. When they found him the wispers in her head became quiet and got replaced by a dark rough and clear voice which said: “I see you have finally returned me my child.” The sea guardian told her what happened to the city and about the royal family that ruled over it. Faern found out that she was a heir of that family and that the blood of the sea guardian runs through her veins. They also found out that because the pact was made such a long time ago the blood line of the royal family got so weak that her body wasn't able to handle it really well. Maybe that is one of the reasons why her body is so weak and fragile. On top of that it seems like the sea guardian also had lost a lot of power over time because of it, which caused him not to be able to break free. They both agreed they would try their best to find a way to break the pact that was made ages ago.

But not long after the city was founded some pirates from Tortugans government arrived in Tolomar during the middle of the night. Lindorm woke up, he heard loud voices arguing with a person that sounded like Mat. She found out that three citizens of Tolomar were involved in a revolution against the Tortugan governenment, called the red turbans. One of them was the city leader Mat himself. The pirates took away his town leadership and gave it to the only person available at that moment, Lindorm. She felt betrayed by Mat how could he do such an irrational thing, that coused the city so much chaos. He just ignored the responsibility he had for the town and replaced it with his own interessts. It was a shook for her and it took quiet some time to learn how to rule. Fortunately she wasn't alone. Karl and LoveCraft helped her to grow into the position and Tolomar started to grow even more under their leadership. During this time she also met one of her best friends Eeriestfall.

Becoming Captain of Soumere
But once again fate was joking with her. Canadian himself came to Lindorm, telling her she got elected by the other captains to become the Captain of the Soumere region. Once again Lindorm was overwhelmed and confused. First she wanted to deny that offer but then she thought about her childhood and that she might be able to show her parents she wasn't just a walking monster. So she accepted but it was more of a challenge than expected. Soumere once it's own great nation and now splitted into different regions from Tortuga was unorganized without any active communication between the people living in it or any good road system. After her first attempts to change that failed she lost hope and focused more on Tolomar. But once again she wasn't alone. Another captain called Ulifer, messaged her and organized a whole new street system and Jayant helped her to gain more confident and motivation.

Because of that she again started the attempt to build up an active communication between the towns this time successful.

During her time as captain she quickly learned the behavior of a pirate, she learned how to get what she wanted and how to make money. They saw how weak and inexperienced she was so they started to train with her. Showing her how to hold a sword correctly. Over the next years the naive kind girl grew into a woman that isn't unfamiliar with pirate behavior. The only reason why she didn't attempted to take part in raids was because she still was weak. She lacked the battle experience and her weak body. So she decided to join a mercenary group called the Viesten Order. Another one or two years passed Soumere was growing and it's capital was growing more than ever and again fate decided to give her a challenge.

Once again Canadian visited her and talked about how he was tired of ruling and that he wanted to retire. He offered her region independence, she didn't wanted to give an immediately answer and he accepted her please. Not long after he left the decision were made to gain independence and then merge with the neighboring former Tortugan region of Lorent. Their leader ColeTheKeeper adopted her as a daughter into the royal family.
