"These people have searched for a place to call home for so long. I may not belong among such heroic souls, but I won't let this town fall to ashes.”
==Persona==
A sly, but friendly individual, Megandrel often takes the role of passive observer in confrontational situations, and a listening ear in her allies’ times of crisis. A keen, but short-lived memory for details serves as the perfect tool for gathering information, though whether or not that information is every used heavily varies. They hold a fierce sense of loyalty to those who they call friend, and are reckless enough to enter ridiculously dangerous circumstances to protect them. Though hard to notice at first, Megans inherent laziness an lack of organizational skills become more obvious the longer she spends in one location, with proper motivation needed for her to get herself together often times. 
== Origins ==
One of the hundred or so surviving Foraith to have fought in the second ‘War in Heaven’, little is known of Megandrels history before their emergence from their cocoon, due primarily to their refusal to speak of such events. According to what information has been revealed, Megandrel had nearly left the Tudenan Kingdom entirely before the Lightning Stone destroyed many of the Foraith in a violent storm. It was here, deep in the forests of Rhineland, that she awoke from her cocoon thousands of years after the conflict between her kind and the Tudenan had ended. Without purpose and unfamiliar with the world, they sought escape from the place which had nearly ended them, setting out into the vast array of broken land which made up Eldham.
==First Impressions==
Megandrel spent little time in locating shelter, ending up in a small settlement not far from where she had awoken. It was here that they made a shaky deal with the owner of the local tavern, working the bar in return for being allowed to stay there. This experience would be the catalyst to drive their future ambitions of creating a tavern of their own, granting her skill in the job, though in time this deal turned sour. An argument between Megan and the bar owner over certain customers saw her evicted the location, setting her out on the road once more. Weeks after, during these travels, they encountered a traveling companion in the form of a Ratniran named Skudge, who they travel with to this day.
==Rise of Stolas==
No more than a week after meeting Skudge, the two travelers happened upon a head member of a group who called themselves Stolas, many of whom were scattered across Rathnir and Eldham. Accepting the offer to join, Megandrel and Skudge helped the group gather themselves together before, through democratic vote, all parties decided they would relegate themselves to the northeastern region of Eldham, seeking allies among the nation of Varn Torum. Leading the group just off the shores of Yaszuma, Megandrel and the others sought to colonize the island without the nations knowledge, only to be discovered and quickly overwhelmed by the threat of war with Yaszuma, one which Stolas could not possibly survive. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the now-towns diplomatic party, the alliance with Varn Torum soon extended to the support of much of The Northern Lights, including an offer from the nation of DonFuer for Stolas to establish themselves in their lands instead. Though hesitent at first to lose their ground, after further threatening enocunters with evnoys from Yaszuma, Megandrel and four other citizens formed the Council of Stolas and chose to accept the offer proposed by DonFuer, evacuating the island and journeying west to the fields of their future home, with Megandrel now serving as a diplomat among the Council.
==Friends & Foes==
Megandrel did not find it an easy task to settle in her role, both as a leader and a peacekeeper. As Stolas began to build itself from the ground up, the Foraith watched over the progress of these people she called friends with a confident demeanor, betraying the worry which welled up inside. Her fears seemed realized as, with every passing day, the events which unfolded appeared to only give rise to new threats around the young city. Even as Yaszuma declared war on Varn Torum, Carthroe and others announced their secessionfrom DonFuer, Stolas being left as the one and only city, and indeed the face of the nation. Fortunately, this onslaught of rising threats would not go unchallenged in the councilwomans mind, Megandrel finding a freind in the Cardinal Prophet of Invetia, Yadus. It was only with this meeting that Megandrel truly began to consider her position in this chess game she had found herself wrapped up within, and the options that came with it. After all, if she was capable of leading a city.. could a warborn like her find peace after all?
