Personal history
Hulda, born as Hestia, grew up in Minrathous and came to the Anderfels as a young woman together with her friends Korinne and Thea. She used to work for the Magisterium, but those days are long gone. She settled down in Schwarzstein and founded a family, her husband died young though and so most of her life she was alone with their son Johann.
When Johann got engaged to the local tavernmaid Vania, a simple, but good-hearted and friendly woman, Hulda immediately grew close to her because Vania had lost her mother as a young woman. The small family grew close together, even more so when Hulda's grandchildren were born and Johann decided to join te military to better provide for his family. Hulda was proud of her son for walking this path, but worried, due to the rising darkspawn threat in the area.
When the worst happened and Johann became tainted, Hulda said that she might be able to find a way to cure him. She used to be a powerful blood-mage and studied the Blight as a young woman - she was conviced she could at least slow down, if not heal the disease given a little time, as long as Johann wasn't too far gone.
Yet her efforts were in vain. After Johann's death the family decided to leave Schwarzstein and all the bad memories behind. The townspeople had become increasingly more and more suspicous of Hulda and her family, after they had spent so much time trying to cure Johann of his disease, too. The rumors were spread that the entire family had become tainted and was turning into ghouls, so in fact they weren't left with much of a choice but to leave and hope to find a new home elsewhere.
Since Hulda had been born in Minrathous and the city seemed a safe haven in chaotic times, the decision was made to leave with the Desert Crows's caravan the next time it arrived in the village.
