Background:

At the young age of 50 years old, Athyrmyst unfortunately came across a cursed tome in a cave outside of Dolanaar, that would one day be known as Fel Rock. Curious, she opened the tome to see what it was about, and a permanent visage was cast upon her making her look and sound like a Darkspear troll. Athyrmyst would be shunned from Night elf society, barely making it off the World Tree alive.

For two hundred plus years, Athyr wandered Azeroth trying to find a cure for the curse. She moved to the Horde city of Orgrimmar on her 276th birthday and began to take contracts for bounty hunting. This was a dark time for the young night elf, trying to find where she belonged. She felt most comfortable in feline form as she was able to identify with it as herself, both Night elf and Troll.

Over time she would make friends with the Darkspear community, and they took her under their care showing her, teaching her how to be a part of the Darkspear people. She studied druidism, Vudu and how to walk in the spirit world. She became a liaison between those who had passed and were unable to find their way to the Shadowlands and those who struggled to let their loved ones go.

When she was 425 she met a young Tauren druid named Lavian who stole her heart. They had triplet children, two girls and one boy. One girl was named Sagemyst, the other Violet and the lad was named Oak. Sadly, little Violet was stillborn. Sapphire of the Cenarion Circle, a fellow druid helped deliver the babies and took them under her care once Athyrmyst recovered from their birth.

Athyrmyst would leave the children with Saph to continue her work with the Darkspear people but would come home whenever she was able to get away. Her mate Lavian and her split amicably when the children were fifteen or so. To this day the Archdruid prefers to be single.

Athyrmyst found the Guild known as the Hand of Algalon on her 448th birthday. It was here that her life changed drastically. Accepted into the guild and taken underwing by the Runebearer of Salvation, Gravellaugh, she was given a home and a family that she thought she had lost so many years before.

Athyrmyst discovered that she was finally at peace with being a Darkspear Troll and came into her own. It wasn’t long after that the Rune of Dream called out to her and bestowed upon her a gift. It broke the four-hundred-year-old curse that she hadn’t been able to remove. She became a Night elf once more! Events followed where the Rune of Dream chose her to be the Grove Warden for the Hand of Algalon. Working towards a better future with the Hand’s ideals in mind.

To help Athyrmyst walk the path of both Night elf and Troll a mage friend, Iridea, created a magical mask from a Hallow’s End Troll mask. Athyrmyst would be able to wear it at will and cast a powerful visage so that she could continue to live her Horde life unhindered without prejudice.

To this day it amuses her that denizens of Azeroth assume that she holds ties with the Alliance based on her race. She considers the Horde her family.
