Cayelle Kalimour

Cayelle Kalimour was the only child of Nostradus Kalimour and played a key part in his rise as Dorhaun's first lich.
==Childhood (1794-1810 AoS)==
In 1794 AoS, Nostradus Kalimour fathered a daughter with his wife Brigette Sokolov at the surprisingly advanced age of 66. Many theorized that the two used their magic to conceive, which may have given Cayelle unnatural affinity. Sadly, Brigette passed six years later in 1800 AoS.
When Cayelle's mother died, Nostradus left his daughter in Telvimbror in order to distract her and keep her from his grief. She was tutored by Jerelaus Thundash and became the youngest apprentice to a Gold Arcan in history. Nostradus himself went on his own sort of pilgrimage to explore other kinds of magic. During these years, he visited his daughter in Telvimbror monthly, never neglecting her, and sometimes taking her on his journeys.
In 1809 AoS, due to heightened pressure from Sistona, Nostradus and Jerelaus had Cayelle moved to the Northlands to study. It was far from the reach of the Order of Iludin and was her favorite place to visit. She dwelt in Ganvord for over a year before her father visited her again. When he did, a necromantic relic he held caused frostbitten corpses from the long-buried city of Hanverdallous to rise and attack Ganvord, Talkardin, and Vandurga. A huge zombified mammoth dug its way up out of the Hedgerow and thundered through Vandurga. Cayelle and the townsfolk were terrified, but were saved by the powers of dwarven clerics of Andarn purifying the relic. Despite his services prior, both he and Cayelle were no longer welcome in the Northlands, so they returned to Eranos and relocated to Corvisburg.
==Death (1814 AoS)==
Nostradus died of natural causes at the age of 86. His funeral was overseen by his best friend and former apprentice Jerelaus Thundash, the Gold Arcan. Cayelle attended, but was too grief-stricken to speak at the service. He was buried humbly in Corvisburg.
His rest was to be short-lived, however. Cayelle's grief was not to be underestimated, nor her talents. She had been born powerful and trained by the Gold Arcan of her time. She refused to believe that her father was truly dead. She dug up his body with her bare hands and swore to dig up her mother's as well so that they could be a family again. Through powers that are still not understood (though perhaps the area's Primal forces played a part), her grief, rage, and denial tore her own soul from her body and passed its energies into her father's corpse. Cayelle Kalimour fell dead, and Nostradus rose from the grave.
