## History

Born into the chaotic world of the Corinthian nobility, Atia with her strange looks, and strong personality was never suitable marriage material. While she was taught all the female skills of good breeding, dancing, singing, music, reading, writing and fine needlework. She spent most of her later childhood into early teen years learning about plants, poisons, and the art of subterfuge and death.

She used her skills to bring down the enemies of her family and gain wealth for them. For a time she was content in this, till she slowly realized what it was turning her into. With little to no choice, she stayed true to her family until her deeds caught up with her.

She would agree that her banishment was more than fair with blood on her hands. Thus she found herself in the distance wilds with little more than her wit and skills. it was there she, learned the skills to be a scout and ranger from Castigan. She learned how to trap and hunt, and how to live off the land. It was also in that wild land that she turned to Jhebbal Sag, a god that did not judge her for her sins but saw her as a huntress.

After the death of Castigan she became the leader of his band of scouts called Pathfinders. It was under her that a great Necromancer took power. She and her troop including Lorcan went to fight him. It was in the aftermath of such great magical power that tore apart that world and sent her into the chaotic realm of Kullinzios.
