Ilianna Rainlant

The Blackpine forests and surrounding frontier had never been the easiest place to settle. Most made their homes in the capital of Lethia, ironically a small beacon of light, a stronghold, within the cold, monster ravaged land. Others, either brave or suicidal, chose to try their luck with smaller settlements.

A focused demographic of survivalists and monster hunters emerged, determined to make this land their home. It was into one of these prestigious early hunter families that Ilianna Rainlant was born. A fair skinned girl with hair the color of flax, sharp eyes the color of carmine, and a distinguishing beauty mark on the right side of her face, under her lips. The only child of the house, Ilianna spent most her time refining her skills like those in her family before her. Well versed in the art of swordplay, survival, tracking and alchemy, she began to lead a very focused life of protecting those in Blackpine. Maintaining her prowess even after her parents had died.

Settling down had never been something she considered, but it happened with a farm boy by the name of Malachi. It was only a shame, that eventually the land would claim him too. Their marriage lasted four years before Malachi was slain by a band of beasts roaming the frontier. Ilianna was tending to another part of the landscape and returned only to a grizzly scene that she refuses to speak about to this day.

In her depravity, she demanded a way to resurrect her beloved, and was refused every time… until the one time she wasn’t. Prepared to pay any price, she was gifted what she desired, but in the form of the very thing she was sworn to hunt down and destroy. Unable to allow her selfishness to be the cause of innocent lives, she chooses to hunt the undead monster that she helped create. Her wedding ring fashioned as a brooch on her stock tie, the reminder of her greatest blessing and her greatest curse.
