## Life Before the Men of the Maidens

### Growing up

Ruth grew up in the North Eastern part in the Empire. She lived in a small secluded village with her family. Growing up Ruth's parents spent most of their gained fortune on letting her go to the local school allowing her to gain a thirst for knowledge. She lived with three brothers, her mother and her father. Her brothers were older than her so naturally growing up she often got into brawls with them and learnt how to fight with them. At a young age Ruth and her brothers would often go exploring during the day looking for cool areas to look at near the town.

### Leaving Home

When Ruth turned 16 she waved goodbye to her parents and set off with her youngest brother seeking adventure around the Coralian Empire. Ruth and her brother made quick coin doing odd jobs here and there and once they had enough money to purchase exploring equipment they had done so. After purchasing their equipment they went out to search a fabled ruin in the west of the empire that had supposedly belonged to an ancient tribe. After scouring the ruin they found some items that were worth a small fortune but it had already been picked clean. After some more adventures Ruth and her brother separated with Ruth's brother going back to their home to help the family.

### The power atop Everreach

A legend had spread that once someone would reach the top of Everreach, the tallest mountain in Laeoyas, they would gain a power so strong it could be considered divine. These along with the stories Ruth had read when she was young had only encouraged her ideas to go to Laeoyas to scale the mighty mountain. Ruth spent most of her gold gathering like minded adventurers to scale the mountain to gain the mighty power. Ruth spent several months scaling the mountain and after the rest of her party had died on the ascent she herself was on her last limbs. One fateful night that she could never forget she saw a blinding moonlight. Crawling behind the bright light she reached the top when the moonlight enveloped her. She had gained incredible power and knowledge and was set out on a quest to collect items of power that Luna had scattered over Crelen many millennia ago.

### Cult of Luna

After Ruth's adventure atop Everreach she returned to the empire and started gathering and turning people to follow Luna. She started to build a church in her hometown out in the country but it has since been put on hold so she can adventure Crelen looking Luna's artefacts.

### Co-Forming the Men of the Maidens

During a quest to gain money to build a church in the name of Luna, Ruth came across a man offering 1000gold to collect a Grimoire located in ruins beneath Wight City. Going into the ruin Ruth had met Thorburn Evermight and Deegan Campbell. During the quest they had come across the Foundation and had learnt that they were studying the porcelain men. Upon questioning the Foundation Ruth had learnt that the people that had hired them for the Grimoire were the twilight brotherhood. After concocting a plan with Thorburn and Deegan the three made an escape fleeing with the Grimoire and delivering it to Forma. After the ordeal Ruth invited Deegan and Thorburn to join her in serving Luna. Thorburn declined and Deegan is still undecided but the three did form a party going to search for the mystical artefacts of Luna.

### Calling to the Sanctuary of the Blue Lady

On the 2nd of Deillas Ruth was called upon by Luna to travel North-East on a quest. Setting out with the newly formed Men of Maidens they ventured North-East and on Deillas, 21st they came across dead citizens that were transporting a caravan and dragged into the woods was a girl with her heart ripped out. After some investigation of the scenario the MoM continued to a Hamlet up the road and investigated anything related to the incident. They prepared during the day to search the woods. During their search they slew several werewolves and found a temple that had been corrupted by Umbra. Clearing the temple and solving its many puzzles they came to the shrines and destroyed them. Finding a Brother of the Sun they walked a path to a moonlit sanctum. During Ruth's discussion with Sister Hecate she was called towards the crescent moon in the centre of the room, approaching it and touching it, it opened up revealing a Black and Silver Crescent Moon Staff gaining her new title as priestess of Luna.
