Growing up Zarai knew she was different. Not only was she born as a result of a drow raping her mother but she was also cursed. Things would move by themselves and sometimes at night Zarai thought she could hear voices too faint to understand. When she was just five Zarais’ mother became ill and soon after died. From then on Zarai swore she would study life’s mysteries. That she would never watch someone she loved die again.
Alone, orphaned and shunned by most of society Zarai came into the service of Greadren Lamm. She was assigned to pick pockets and do minor break ins. Unfortunately the spirits who haunted her always seemed to make something go wrong. After almost every job Lamm would have her beaten for what the spirits caused.
After one particular break in, everything seemed to go well. Zarai returned to Lamm with the loot. When she pulled out a small bag of gems they suddenly disappeared. Where they went the spirits only knew. Lamm became enraged and beat her himself, leaving her to suffer in an alley by the harbor. A priest found her and nursed Zarai back to health. Soon after Zarai left to wander the world and nurture her growing magical abilities. Little did she know that her travels would lead her back to where it all began.
