As a child, Via was given to the temple of the Emporer as tribute for their care. As a child, she learned the lore of her religion and of the history of the empire. Her childhood was not filled will play and laughter like most children, instead she was raised to serve and learned discipline.
As a young adult at the age of 100, Via qualified to begin training as a Paladin. She was trained in the traditional elven forms of combat but showed the most talent with the bow. 10 years later she recieved ordination as a Paladin of the Empire and she swore fealty to the Emporer as her lord and God. I was the first day she had ever seen the emporer in person, and he ordained her with his own hand. She was given a blessed bow made from the antlers of a celestial hippogryph with the mark of the emporer emblazoned upon the handle. With these gifts she was charged with protecting the emporer and his empire, and restoring order to the chaos.
Via’s past is not complicated. She was born to serve the empire and she bears her duty with joy and desire. However, her past has also crippled her with acute narrowness of thought. Via as of yet cannot consider other possibilities aside from the order and peace of the empire. She seeks opportunity to prove herself by crushing the rebellions which now plague her home.
