Caerul Bacri

Caerul Tenebrae is a human female living on the continent of Rathnir. She was born into the continent at the city of the Auxilium Isle, formally Melonstan. For several years she lived peacefully, but then lost her parents in a raid on the city. Fortunately, many many years later she was adopted by Rubrum Tenebrae. She learned many skills from her until Rubrum also died in a battle.

Born into Melonstan
Caerul was born in the town of Melonstan. Her birth mother's name was Cura, whilst her father was named Fortis. From a young age Caerul had to do hard work, like helping her mother attend the melon and wheat farms, and helping her dad fish and build several structures. It helped Caerul gain many important life skills.

At the age of seven, Caerul learned that the island of Melonstan became a vassal of the Grand Sultanate of Alamayn. Caerul took several trips to Alamayn's capital of Adwa, coming with her parents on trade missions. This taught her the basis of trading, another useful skill.

The Raid on Melonstan
At the age of eleven, a group of bandits attacked the city of Melonstan. It was a precise strike and it caused much damage. All Melonstan militia men and woman were slain. This included Caerul's father Fortis. Cura, her mother, had also sustained a fatal wound. In her final hours Caerul was at her side. She soon died and Caerul was thrown into state of grief. Both her parents had died, and she couldn't have done anything.

In the aftermath, Caerul was determined to help fix the city in honor of her fallen parents. The mayor Jag noticed this determination and helped Caerul rebuild her home.

The Arrival of Rubrum
For seven six years Caerul lived alone, through the collapse of Alamayn and the betrayal of Kazan. Soon Melonstan was under the threat of invasion and the call to arms was called. This time she would fight and so she took her parents old armor and sword and prepared to fight.

Soon the news that Jag had departed reached her and she became sad once again. Jag had cared for her, but abandoned her in the islands time of need? She sat against her house, staring into the sky and after hours of doing so met Rubrum Tenebrae. Rubrum said a speech of how they would keep the island, and how Jag was on a secret mission.

This reinvigorated Caerul and she trusted Jag would return one day. Soon Rubrum met up with Caerul and was overcome with emotion. She did not want Caerul to be all alone and end up like what Rubrum had become. So, with Caerul's permission, she adopted her. Caerul was overcome with joy, thrilled to have a parent once more. Caerul adopted the last name of Tenebrae, truly apart of a family once more

Through the next few weeks, Rubrum taught Caerul life lessons. She taught Caerul of her past so she did not end up like Rubrum. Caerul also did hard work, helping build the defenses of Melonstan, renamed to the Auxilium Isle.

The Fall of the Isle and the Death of Rubrum
After several weeks of building defenses, the day of the battle came. Rubrum would not have Caerul here to die, she knew the chances of victory were slim to none. So she gave Caerul a journal of her life and sent Caerul off to a small camp off the coast of the old Alamayni city of Lumeno. After several hours of waiting she took a boat back to the island and was mortified at what she saw: the walls were crumbled, flames had engulfed the center of the city, and a pile of bodies were stacked in the outskirts of the town.

As she approached, enemy archers spotted her and loosed several shots. At this point Caerul knew Rubrum was dead, she knew she had to run. So she turned her boat around and left. Her journey took her to the shores of Nieden: the nation of Najer. It was here Caerul's journey would truly begin.

A Friendly Traveler
Caerul was fortunate, as after walking through a dried savannah, a lone traveler found her: Dernavos of the Emirate of Nieden. He took her to his town of Hadu'Jira, and there she was given a new life.
