Purle

A girl by the name of Lavener, was born on Godsday, 4th Celene 11AE, greeted only by her mother, Elaine Astolat, and her brother, Viscera. The only father she knew as a child was a silly satyr, one of her mother's many beaus, Jimi. At a very young age, she went out wandering in the woods near her home and met a charming young man by the name of Zeflem. They would meet together, in the woods, as often as they could. Zeflem taught her many things, including the ways of a fighter, and watched her grow into a beautiful young lady. After confessing their love for each other, they were wed. Their love seemed endless, and they were very happy for many years.

Over time, Lavener became quite distant. She felt something was missing from her life. Although she adored her husband, she could not keep him as happy as she knew he could be. They decided to divorce. She needed a new start. Devastated, Lavener sank into a world of helplessness and depression. She wandered alone, for many months, until stumbling upon a small cottage belonging to a young couple, Havoc and Beauty. She introduced herself as Purle. She knew the sweet couple for only a week before they asked her to stay and live with them as their daughter. She never told them about her mother and brother she left behind. She had a new life there and soon fell in love with a very powerful immortal named Sparhawk Bladesinger. After they wed, Purle learned that she would never have children of her own. Sparhawk had several daughters from previous relationships - Dark, Trianna, and Clarkson. Desperately wanting sons, they adopted Keanor and Halbarad.

They lived happily together for many years.... the comet came and everyone made efforts to contact people they knew, or had once known. When she finally heard from her brother, Viscera, the news he gave was overwelming. The letter he wrote read:
'Dearest sister,
I write to you in great sorrow, for the news I bring has had such an impact on my life. I'm sure you have found a life of your own, but I thought it best you know of where you came.
Jimi, drunk and angry, took our mother in the night and murdered her mercilessly. As heartbreaking is that is, something good may be found. I have a letter she wrote to Jimi only a day before her murder, stating that she had plans to return to our true father, Moloch Rockbiter, the only man she had ever loved. I have yet to seek out this man, but I know where he can be found and I write you now to ask of you... come with me, meet our father. I will be waiting anxiously for your reply.
Sincerely,
Viscera'

Purle wrote to him at once, and together, they traveled to meet the man they would call father. Moloch Rockbiter, powerful and fearless fighter of Drakenwood, had never known of his children until the day they approached him. He was drunk and wittling, sat against a tree in the shade just outside the Guild of Fighters. He looked at them standing there silently, each party examining the other. The resemblance was undeniable. Moloch proudly took them in and loved them as if they had always been with him. Soon came more brothers, Lan and Shanthiss, and then a sister too, Caryn. They remain, to this day, a very powerful family.

Purle, upon finding her father, made arrangements to return to her husband and children, whom she sorely missed. She waited for several weeks, but no one sent for her. She wrote several times, but got no reply. News travelled to Drakenwood of the fate that befell her dear husband. The gods struck him down mercilessly. He had become mortal. It was said that it was because he loved Purle too much, above all else. Feeling confused and ashamed, he left his home, never to return... Purle has not heard from him since.
