### Biography

#### Early Life

Zariasona grew up with her parents and two sisters in Tranquillen. Growing up in a noble family left her with a plethora of practices she naturally grew accustomed to. With butlers, maids, cooks, and nannies around, she had no shortage of people to talk to.

She had the most vivid imagination. Tales of pirates, trolls, and murlocs filled her mind. Zaria had no shortage of stories that ran through her mind. She could come up with all kinds of witty tales to tell within a second's notice.

As the oldest of three, she had plenty to do. How she was able to keep her imagination so vivid with two younger sisters, there was only ever one way that anyone knew.

With her two younger sisters, Kinadra and Sisendra, She’d often be seen telling them imaginative and vivid stories. She, of course, wouldn’t be caught without doing various voices and body movements. That was how she was able to keep it alive.

#### Adolescence

As she reached adolescence, it had become clear the skill she had in working with and wielding the light. Eagerly, Zariasona followed Lady Liadrin as one of her many disciples. She was eager to make a name for herself, just as her mother had.

In order for her to continue her studies, Zaria had no choice but to pack her belongings and move into the city of Quel’thalas, so that she could continue her training without the interference of travel hindering her ability to learn. The cost of travel was becoming too much for her to be able to effectively learn the ways of the light.

Fighting tooth and nail, she’d leave herself no room for error as she continued her works with Lady Liadrin and her other disciples.

It wasn’t long before she was at the top of her class, and became one of the most well-known priestesses within the confines of Quel’thalas. Everyone around her knew great things would come her way, but they also knew that with them could come the real trials and tribulations of her time.

As she had hit her 100th birthday, she was bestowed with the title of Magistrix. She was one of the youngest within the city to be granted such a title, and it didn’t come without cost.

Immediately, she was faced with challenges within the city, and within the surrounding villages. Thankfully, having had lived now in the city for over fifty years, she was able to handle the issues that arose with grace.

#### The Loss of Family

There was no denying the strength that the Emberspirit family held. Together, they were strong. Verethar was a superb paladin, paired with Leandra who was a mage, the two were unstoppable. The two sisters, Kinadra and Sisendra, were similarly matched. Kinadra was a fierce warrior, and Sisendra was a talented warlock. With Zaria in the center to heal their wounds as they endured them, it was impossible to take them down. Even when people challenged one of the Emberspirits to a one on one duel, they’d soon learn to regret that choice.

When the time came for them to come to arms, the family stood as one. It was only natural that when Verethar was summoned to help defend Quel’thalas that the entire family geared up. They functioned as a team, and refused to let it go any other way. When the commanders saw the family approach, they knew they were in good hands. Many people had tried to best the family, be it as individuals or as a group, and nearly everyone failed. They knew victory was sure to come from their participation in the battle.

The battle raged on around them, and the family stayed close together. As they descended upon the city, the wear and tear gradually took hold upon the family. Even Zaria, the esteemed Magistrix of the city, was beginning to suffer as she worked to ensure the safety of her family, and those she could around her. When they had managed to get a break, they took it. They relished the chance to rest their tired bodies, even if it was only for mere minutes. What they didn’t expect was the onslaught of forces that took hold just behind them as they rested. Instinctively, Verethar and Kinadra lifted their weapons, and Sisendra quickly took to the fray with them with her minions.

It was poor timing on everyone's part.

For at that moment Leandra and Zariasona had stepped away to fetch water for everyone. Leandra’s ears flickered as she heard the familiar screams of terror, and looked to see Sisendra being ravaged to pieces by ghouls. By then, Verethar and Kinadra were knee deep trying to combat the slew of minions that overtook them.

Zaria screamed in absolute terror as she watched her father and beloved sisters fall before her very eyes. Leandra did the best she could to pull her away, telling her they had to go. There was far too many ghouls, minions, and soldiers for them to be able to defend them. Zaria screamed, cried, and fought against her every step of the way.

As they were drawing every closer away, and nearing the end of the battle, a defeated Zaria turned her head towards the sky, seeing the light change ever so slightly. In a drastic effort to protect the only family she had left, she flung her left hand up into the air, and attempted to summon a barrier of light to protect her and her mother.

What she didn’t expect, was that the bolt of fire that rained down was far too close to be stopped. As the fireball collided into Zaria’s hand, she’d scream in agonizing pain. The barrier she did create was enough to save her and her mother, but left her permanently scarred from it. The scar took over half of her arm, going from her fingertips up to her elbow, leaving it grossly disfigured. She never once was ashamed of her scar, for it is a constant reminder of the price she paid to protect her mother.

In the years that followed that epic battle, Leandra would grow more and more into the pits of despair. Nothing would ever be able to fill the hole that Leandra felt without her two daughters and husband. Zaria had done everything she could to try and keep her mother in good spirits, but to no avail.

A mere five years later, Her mother passed from despair. With Zaria having lost the last of her family, she continued on and grew even more cold and callous.

The only thing she had left of her mothers was the crescent moon pendant that Leandra had gotten from Verethar. She never takes it off.

#### Coming to Stormwind

Shortly after these events with her mother, Zaria had heard about the research that Magister Umbric was about to conduct with the void.

With nothing more to lose, she decided to join him.

With her family fortunes secured safely in Dalaran, she was able to travel with a wide variety of others and ended up at Stormwind's doorstep. Immediately, she began forging connections where she would. It didn't take long for her to buy an organization formerly known as The Vermillion Flame. While the organization met its untimely end, she'd watch it dissolve and would then create a new one.

The Seekers of the Rune was an organization that was created with the sole purpose of finding and salvaging artifacts from across Azeroth. Based out of Fenris Keep in Silverpine forest, the group stayed housed there and worked to safeguard any artifacts that they salvaged, or received. The organization quickly became well known, and soon Zariasona was overwhelmed with the amount of work she was putting into the group. From staves to harps, the Seekers of the Rune made a significant impact in the Eastern Kingdoms. It wouldn't be long before the Seekers of the Rune was shut down by the Kirin Tor for not having the proper licensing done. All the work that Zariasona had put into the group fizzled without a trace.

For the last year, Zariasona has been the lead for an underground syndicate, known as the Umbral Serpent Syndicate. With the help of friends, she learned the underground ropes of the city and worked with them to try and make Azeroth a better place. She had worked hard with her kinsmen to make sure work was brought in and taken care of, even if it meant doing the work herself.

In addition to leading the Coven of Stolas, She runs a tavern with her new mate, Teremath Blacksorrow, known as The Serpent's Den. The Serpent's Den is well known for being a halfway house for all walks of life. Zariasona works hard to make sure that The Serpent's Den is an enjoyable place for all.

### Physical Description

Zariasona herself is rather muscluarly built, and works hard to maintain her form. Her once black hair from when she was Sin'dorei had turned a beautiful teal color. Her eyes remained the same brilliant hue of silver. She'd found typically wearing a gown, primarily in colors of greens and purples. Usually seen with a smirk upon her face, she holds her shoulders back and here head high as she moves. She stands at roughly six foot tall, and seemingly towers over some of the others in Stormwind.

### Personal life

#### Romantic interests

In her younger years, she was married to Lord Kan’this Coldstrider. The two were happily married and spent a grand total of two years together before Lord Coldstrider had taken a solo camping trip out in the depths of the Ghostlands and ultimately met his untimely end. Now widowed, Zariasona took back her name of Emberspirit and swore off love, and romantic relationships for the end of her days.

It wouldn't be until she was 548 years old when she'd meet Aveium Hellstrider, married to Feylonis Hellstrider, when she'd find love again. Together, the three shared a year of blissfull happiness before Aveium had also met his fate. Taken down by a dragon whelping, Zariasona was devasated for months. Once more, she had told herself that she'd never allow another person to come into her life. The only person who was able to console her was Feylonis, who stayed by her side through the entire ordeal. It was in that moment that Zariasona decided that she'd continue her relationship with Feylonis for better or for worse.

Koda Hawkmoon was the next suitor that Zariasona took on. The three of them (Koda, Feylonis, and Zariasona) were a blissful happy family with Koda's son, Adrastus Hawkmoon. Feylonis and Zariasona loved the child as their own, and eagerly were happy to help Koda Hawkmoon raise his son, and did everything they could to help. Zariasona had even had a family photo done to commemorate the happy moment that they had together. As talks grew more serious of commitment, Zariasona reacted poorly. Inevitably, Zariasona severed ties and banished Koda and Adrastus Hawkmoon from the manor, never to return.

Caidathas Flarefate was at the last man who dared to make moves upon the Magistrix. He took the time to get to know Zariasona for the woman that she was. She was stunned and baffled by the antics of the man, having gone so far as to adopt a child in his name with her mother's name in an attempt to bring her the happiness he knew she deserved. They soon after were married, and spent two years happy together with their daughter, Leandra Emberspirit. Unfortunately, Caidathas Flarefate's life was taken far too soon as he was murdered in the middle of Stormwind's Mage District.

Since then, she had been seen romantic interests in a few others from the Kingdom but none panned out for her. Eventually, she met Lord Teremath Blacksorrow. It was easy to see that their love was true and strong. It was easy to see on the day that Zariasona announced that Teremath was to be the new co-owner of The Serpent's Den tavern. Rumors have spread that Zariasona is hopeful for an engagement soon, as well as a large wedding to celebrate with Teremath.

#### Home life

Living in her manor located in Gloomshroud Nocturne, Zariasona lives with her girlfriend (Feylonis Hellstrider), and daughter (Leandra Emberspirit) and Teremath Blacksorrow. The family spends ample time together despite the amount of work that Zariasona has taken on with her work with recently becoming the Archon for Gloomshroud Nocturne and The Serpent's Den tavern.
