History:

~1000 y B.P. Ava Story: Ava and Alice were born in what is now Queen’s Crossing. Ava studied in university, ultimately becoming an arcane advisor to the king. She used her position to bring her sister with her into a life of luxury. A magician from Erias came to the king’s court and fell in love with Alice. The couple began courting and soon was betrothed. Everything was fine until Alice was murdered in the moors. Ava blames her sister’s lover, but he had also disappeared and died. Ava became fixated with bringing her sister back to life. When she was nearing her goal, her plan backfired. Ava thrusts herself into a limbo between life and death, pulling her sister with her from the afterlife.
