Leah Quill (née Rainweaver) is a Wildhammer dwarf trained in the shamanistic arts. She lived most of her life in Northeron (Twilight Highlands), growing up on the outskirts of Kirthaven. After a young adulthood spent training and working her way into a high position within the Assembly of Three Hammers, Leah married the Duke of Coldwake, Finnegan Cayden Quill, to become Duchess Leah Quill-Greyson-LeForde-Hale-Nosdramos-Rainweaver.

## Personality

Unlike many of the Wildhammer clan, Leah is quiet and observant. She values learning as much as she can, and is not afraid to seek mentorship. But much like her kin, she is stubborn to a fault, and struggles to let go of past offenses. Loyalty and honesty are incredibly important to the dwarf, and if either are broken, she is very slow to forgive. Leah, through various events in her life, has developed a passion to help those who would be called 'common', and is determined to effect real change for the masses from her elevated rank.

## Description

Standing at a proud 4'4", Leah has a fairly typical body shape for a Wildhammer dwarf. Tanned skin, blue eyes that she inherited from her mother, and fiery red curls that she prefers to wear loose when possible. Though most of Leah's fighting, if she does any, is done via magic, she maintains enough physical strength and endurance to defend herself for short periods of time.

She defaults to wearing well-kept leather armor, valuing the ability to move more freely over heavier, more protective armors.

Leah is rarely without a blue feather or two tucked behind her right ear, and she always makes sure she has either a flask or water skin on her, not wanting to be without that valuable element ever.

## Biography

From the time she was old enough to speak, Leah was trained by her mother and a local elder in the shamanistic arts. Her mother, Sybil, was a defector from the Twilight Hammer cult, and was driven by the desire that her daughter succeed in life more than she had, but on the 'right side' of history. Leah's father, the youngest son of the Thundermar clan, had renounced his family name to be with Sybil and raise their daughter; it is from him that Leah learned compassion and a desire to help whoever she could.

When Leah reached adulthood, her mother sent her out into the world to learn to speak to and call upon the element of Fire on her own, and so Leah began her travels. She aligned herself with Clan Drakehammer, attaining the rank of Low-Shaman from them, and received her first tattoos. Eventually, she knew she needed to leave their ranks, as her quest to harness Fire still remained her priority.

She then crossed paths with Lord Glauric Goldwrought of the Dark Iron clan, a powerful shaman who is adept at using Fire, and she convinced him to train her. After picking bits of his less than ideal methods, Leah managed to call on Fire, and then settled into employment under Bathildis Battlestein at the Battlestein Company. It is during her time there that she and Goldwrought deepened their relationship, and eventually they began to court. Due to his nobility, Goldwrought determined to raise Leah to a rank that would be acceptable to his family so that they could someday wed, and so with his resources, helped to clear and claim the lands on the coast of the Stonetalon Mountains now known as Baraz Modan, and installed Leah as Thane there.

As Thane, Leah took her first steps into the realm of politics, and joined the Assembly of Three Hammers. Here she learned, training in a different capacity, as she also learned to navigate Dwarven nobility. However, two months shy of her wedding to Goldwrought, their relationship ended. Leah took an extended absence from the Assembly, and upon her return, informed the Assembly that she had dissolved her Thanedom, retaining a small portion of the rights to the port, while turning the rest over to all of it's citizens, to be governed by a small council, with it's profits divided equally among the residents. Leah retained her seat as representative to the Assembly for the colony, and just a short time after her return, ran for and was elected to the seat of Keeper of Law on the Elder Council. She has served in this capacity since 634 KC (266 AHK).

In late 634 KC, Leah deepened her relationship with Finnegan Quill, that had been nothing more than passing acquaintances for nearly a year, and in 635 KC, they were wed in a small, private ceremony, choosing to keep their relationship mostly secret for as long as they were able. Both continued their public responsibilities, and in the spring of 637 KC, Leah and Finnegan welcomed twins: Odyn Archaeus and Freya Amara.

Near the end of 637 KC, the couple decided that it was finally time for them to make the knowledge of their marriage public.
