## **Biography:**

### Early life:

Melgena was born in the empire formed by Marlomar the Betrayed into the imperial family. She grew up in courtly life and was raised well, until her grandfather was defeated by the rebel alliance lead by the elf Tormak and the human Isaria. The two slew the emperor and his dragon allies, and drove the imperial family out of their home. Two new nations were born, the empire of Irsiari and the elven homeland and empire of Elverdeem.

### **The Cataclysm:**

She escaped the fall of her homeland along side her sisters Dolamaria and Feliscadia and each swore revenge on the rabble nations and plotted their downfall.

So when the demon Jun'huru rose to power, she and her sisters were quick to swear themselves to his services.

They aided their demonic allies in destroying the empire of Irsiari and scattering the people of Elverdeem, avenging their grandfather´s death, but they were forced to flee and hide, when Jun'huru and his demons were defeated by the angel Nara.

### **Schemes:**

After the dust settled at the end of the Cataclysm, she and her sisters hid for some time, emerging a century later with a plan. Each went to the court of a great king and inserted themselves in their life, corrupting that nation from the inside.

Dolamara went to the empire of Salahan that had risen from the ashes of Irsiari, and seduced the emperor at the time Admirus, using his position to attack the very heart of the empire. Feliscaria went to the king of the Ash Elves who had not yet fallen into isolation, and Melgena went to the court of Erastor Elvwe, successor of Tormak who had fought against her master during the war. In her heart, she hated him but she was able to hide that well.

She arrived around the time the queen Anarie was ill with some unknown illness. However, she miraculously healed when Morana arrived. Some say, that Morana healed her to get in the good graces of the royal family, but this information wasn´t confirmed by the court.. She used her new found favour with the King, and became the nanny and tutor to his two youngest children Palúre and Eol. Eol most notably grew close to her, seeing her as a mother figure.

### **Exile:**

She remained in Eldarmar´s court for many years, trying to corrupt the minds of the children of Erastor. She didn’t manage it with Gwindor, but it is possible she planted some seeds of hatred in Elgmoth´s mind. She was eventually caught worshipping demons and was exiled to the Dreadlands for her vile practices. She dwelled in those lands for some time, setting up cults amongst the exiles and local humans.

Eventually, she heard that Eol was exiled for killing his brother and attempting to take the throne, or that is what his brother Elgmoth claimed. She became a great supporter of the now-gloomy prince and aided him in forming Akhara-ana-Rhuna.

## **Personality:**

Deceptive, cunning, subtle and cruel, she is devoted to her dark masters and sees all others as pawns, even Eol.

While Dolamara was motivated by personal gain, and Feliscaria with avenging their family, Melgena is motivated by unyielding devotion to chaos and destruction.
