### **Background**

For as long as she could remember, Quest had spent her whole life searching for where she belonged, and had never found that place that she sought after so badly, that is, until she stepped foot aboard her adoptive father's ship, The Mirage. As soon as her feet hit the deck, and the warm ocean breeze hit her, so did an intense moment of seasickness, doubling the young Quest over. From that moment forward, facing down at a pool of her own vomit, Quest knew exactly where she belonged for the rest of her life, often spending hours, or even days at a time on the boat, regardless of the seasickness. As time went on, she began to adjust, spending less and less time on land, and more and more out at sea. Eventually, her adoptive father, Alexander Nyth, began to catch on, often scolding the girl well beyond the point of tears. After almost 16 years of abuse from her adoptive father, Quest abandoned the name Arilia Nyth, and set off to seek fortune and fame in Ipiros.

**Pre-Stream**

Before meeting the Sevyn Of Secrecy, Quest had already been on many adventures, usually going from one city to another, delivering various goods, stopping for the occasional raid here and there on anyone unfortunate enough to cross her path that day. On one such encounter, she met a peculiar tiefling, who introduced himself as Therbyn Rosetop. Up until this point in her life, Quest had never seen another tiefling and found herself fascinated by this new acquaintance. The two sat and talked for hours, immediately seeming to have a connection, much to Quest's delight. The two sailed and adventured together for almost 10 years, finding time to get married on the mysterious isle of Fortonia and have their two sons, Greed and Carrion. However, shortly after their sons were born, The Brood came to collect Therbyn, quickly leading to an argument between Therbyn and Quest. This argument quickly boiled over into Lystin using Bigby's Hand to throw Quest down the side of The Winsay Tips, crippling Quest in more ways than one. Quest, in her dying and delirious state, she claims to have seen her father, telling her that she knew what she needed to do. This "Vision" may have been divine intervention or blood loss. Regardless of what it was, it was enough to set Quest on her most demanding mission yet, to get her kids back. After 2 and a half weeks of painstaking belly crawling through the woods with both of her legs broken, Quest emerged from the tangle of jungle, finding another unfortunate soul who had washed ashore. This was Targ Bagrak, a paladin of the Wildemother. To her immense surprise and pleasure, once she yelled to him, Targ pulled himself up off of the surf, still clutching his holy symbol. After the captain explained her situation to him through a mix of tears and exhausted blubbering, Targ healed her wounds and vowed to never leave her side. After a long mission to retrieve her children, Quest once again found herself in hot water, this time with an inventor by the name of Orli Quillback. In her many escapades, Quest may/or may not have burned Orli's last workshop, leading to a large divide in their once close friendship. Yet, after almost seventeen years of silence, Quest found that she was the proud new owner of her very own warforged companion, Stitch, a warforged designed for naval warfare, equipped with anything he could need to fight on board a sea vessel. Thus completing the Crew Of The Mirage as the Sevyn found it. Upon traveling with the Sevyn, Quest found herself caught in an internal conflict. On one hand, these people had been the reason that Targ was killed upon exploring Gyrsa's hoard. Yet, on the other hand for once in a very long time, she found herself caring about people who weren't always on board her ship. One such person was Hector "The Protector" Fernfall, who had an interest in her, which she slowly and hesitantly began to reciprocate. The two began seeing one another unofficially, though their time was cut short when Hector passed away, burned to a crisp by Gyrsa, The Hoarder. Quest spent the next 10 years searching for a way to bring both Hector and Targ back. Upon visiting their graves after 10 years to pay her final respects before moving on, and having the immense displeasure of meeting . Hector returned to her, showing that he had come back as a revenant. The party continued on adventuring with Quest and the other crew of The Mirage, until The Brood launched a full scale attack on Eryset, leading to a confrontation between both groups. After a long and hard battle, Quest was impaled by Lystin's Scythe, Dark Days, and was dragged onto the other side of Hector's sheild, Faith the attack crippling her. As Quest fought to stand, her worst nightmare became a reality. As her family and the Sevyn watched in horror, the newly released Hatred stepped forward brandishing The Weaver's Whisper, and with a flash of light and a shrill cry... Quest's life ended.
