Ashen Lands

Sorra is a young woman with hazel eyes and white hair tied in a bun, with a single strand that always falls over her forehead. Her features are soft and youthful, giving her a calm, approachable appearance. She dresses in simple, practical clothing, layered beneath a plain black cape.

Sorra is warm and self-reliant, known for her gentle wisdom and the quiet strength she brings to those in need. Though she hides a noble lineage, her heart belongs to the village that raised her, and she treats every neighbor like family.

Sorra was born in Drakenstone, the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman from House Valemont, who then served as head of the city’s council, the High Order. Her mother, a commoner whose name she never knew, died giving birth to her. To avoid scandal, Sorra was sent away as an infant to the quiet village of Eldenrest, where a woman named Maelin took her in and raised her as her own daughter. Maelin lived a long life before passing peacefully of old age. Sorra stayed in Eldenrest, taking over Thalenroot Herbs—a modest shop known for rare forest remedies. Now grown, she keeps her bloodline secret and avoids the dangerous politics of House Valemont—especially those involving her half-brother, Lord Eryndor, who inherited their father’s title and seat after his sudden death.
