Once a revered and influential figure within the enigmatic society of the Tribe, had a life deeply rooted in the ancient land of Dravania. Born into a tribe that valued knowledge and preservation, Aetela displayed exceptional promise from a young age. Her upbringing was immersed in the teachings of the Tribe, focusing on the significance of the Scrolls and the duty of Lorekeepers in preserving memories and history.

### Early Life

In the turbulent times leading up to the evacuation of Dravania, Aetela was a dedicated Lorekeeper, committed to her role and the traditions of her people. The Dragonsong War had taken a toll on the land, and the shadows of change loomed large. As the tensions escalated, Aetela witnessed the weakening of the barriers that protected Dravania and the increasing vulnerability of her homeland.

### The Evacuation of Dravania

The day finally came when the Tribe had to face the grim reality of abandoning their ancestral land. The evacuation of Dravania was a somber and chaotic affair, with many Tribe members grappling with the emotional burden of leaving behind their roots. Aetela, as a prominent figure and Lorekeeper, played a pivotal role in organizing the migration and ensuring the safety of her people.

### The Ruby Sea

As the Tribe sought refuge in the Ruby Sea, a new chapter in Aetela's life began. The Ruby Sea, with its unique challenges and opportunities, demanded a change in approach. Aetela assumed the role of Preceptor, guiding her people through the uncharted waters of their new home. The Tribe began to adapt, and Aetela's leadership brought a sense of stability in the face of adversity.

### The Fall of the Ruby Sea Lorekeepers

However, with the passage of time, a dark and insidious force began to take hold. Lore Rot, a malevolent affliction tied to the Keystones, started to infect Aetela's mind. Despite her valiant efforts to resist, the Lore Rot gradually eroded her sanity and corrupted her thoughts. Aetela's downfall was heartbreaking for her Tribe, as they witnessed the tragic transformation of a once-beloved leader.

In a desperate attempt to salvage something from the ruins of Aetela's psyche, she sought to revive Tsumiko, a promising young Lorekeeper and her adopted daughter, who had been tragically lost. Aetela utilized forbidden and taboo methods involving the Keystone, desperately hoping to restore Tsumiko and find solace in her revival.

However, the consequences of Aetela's actions were dire. The revival process was tainted by the darkness that consumed her, and she fell further into the grip of insanity. Realizing the extent of her actions and the danger she posed, Aetela chose exile as a means to protect those she cared for. It was a harrowing decision, fueled by remorse and the remnants of her sanity.

In exile, Aetela faced the weight of her past and the torment of her actions. Alone and tormented, she grappled with the consequences of her choices, haunted by the memories of her downfall and the indelible mark left on her soul.
