## Biography

Born of the union of Arwa Sova and one of the pirates of Skellige who accompanied Yustianna in the looting of Zangvebar and Ofir during the year 1210. Nelea grew up as the little sister of a total of 12 brothers and sisters.

Little is known of her childhood. With the exception that he had a complicated relationship with her parents and some of her brothers and sisters.

Some rumors say that his ascension to the power in East Ofir was not due to the death of her family ( Brothers and sisters ) and her mother in the battlefield, but that she murdered several of these by poisoning them.

Supposedly showing some symptoms of the one known as "Sova Madness" a rare and hereditary mental illness that this clan of sorcerers could suffer from.

Other rumors point to the fact that one of his two sons, more specifically Mimit, could have inherited this mental illness. Which, due to the conditions imposed by the sorcerer's life would have accelerated.

Shortly after the fall of East Ofir and his marriage to Malliq Nibras of Ofir to unite both territories under one heir and give birth to two children would be accused of treason to the kingdom, in a conspiracy created by the sorcerer Aamad with the intention of experimenting with her two sons and thus study the genetics of the powerful clan of sorcerers, so she would be forced to flee the country and abandon her children in foreign lands.

After this, he would wander all over the Continent, offering his services and hiding from the ofieri secret service until they forgot about her and could live a more or less peaceful life in exile, though unable to overcome the trauma of having abandoned her two children.

Sometime during 1260´s Nelea would arrive in Zerzura. The city, at that time, was being ruled by a tyrannical queen, who had her people in misery. Nelea would challenge her to a duel to the death and win, thus becoming the new queen of the City - State.

The city would prosper under her rule, but approximately at 1270´s Nelea would become a worse ruler than her predecessor, when unable to overcome her trauma, the "Sova Madness" would make a dent in her. Degenerating her mentally more and more, with the passing of the years.

Until finally, her son Putnam Pitch would kill her in a death duel during the spring / summer of the year 1284.
