## Biography

#### Childhood & youth

Evelara's mother was a devout follower and cultist of Dibella, Eleina Galeford and her father most likely was a lesser son of a minor noble house.

Eleina's brother Midas Galeford 'rescued' Evelara when she was 3 years old as he deeply disapproved of his sister's habit practicing the less savory arts of a Dibellan cult.

Eva grew up to be a kind and tolerant girl, to whose education Midas spent all his money and time. She was mostly taught by Kynareth's priestesses and servants, as well as her uncle who was a fisherman and trapper by profession.

Midas left his charge into a temple of Kynareth at the age of 8. A head priestess and Midas' good friend there, Thora Skywatcher soon took the girl under her personal protection and care, for both good and bad results.

First thing Eva learned under the Nord's care was that in order for a healer to perform her work she needed to survive the circumstances. The young girl went through a rigorous and harsh training for combat, she was educated vast and wide in a number of topics and taught in the schools of restoration and destruction.

Her uncle visited the temple to see the girl when ever he could, albeit the visits became ever more seldom as Eva grew older.

She was granted her first battle-mail and in celebration, a pint of mead at the age of 14.
