Quarress Silverblade

Work in progress

Matron Quarress Silverblade (a.k.a. the Rogue Paladin)

Know as the Rogue Paladin, Quarress Silverblade was second daughter ofJhinriia Shadowblade, and the founder of house Silverblade. It was her controversial choice to leave the house Shadowblade behind that earned her the nickname with a bit questionable ring to it, yet she carried it as a patch of honour, as a sign of what she truly believed in.

While a bit controversial and sometimes deemed "eccentric", Quarress was mostly beloved character in her time, and famous of her devotion to Eilistraee and the Faith of Children of The Dancer. She worked as the bodyguard and advisor to Mother of Moonlight, and earned herself quite a bit of recognition.

Physical Description

Body Features

Quarress has an obsidian black skin and height of the house Shadowblade and silver eyes of the house Moondancer. Her eyes were described as wise and her voice deep and soothing, which demanded attention from everybody as she spoke. She preferred to keep her hair relatively short for a woman of her position and tie it back when possible, so it wouldn't come to her eyes, making her have a very unique taste in hair accessories for her time period.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Quarress Shadowblade was born 4th of Jul, year 3101 AoS to Mother of Shadows, Jhinriia Shadowblade. She was the second daughter of her mother, and at the time of her birth she had two siblings; brother Fyrataras and sister Drisintralin. Unlike her sister, Quarress didn't born with the scales of a sorcerer, and as such she was not considered as a true heir. This was further solified bu the birth of her younger sister Cezretha, who also had the family scales.

She was very close to her father, Barindrin, who had been married to the family from the house Moondancer. While Quarress took her duties as protector and her training very seriesly, she always had a much stronger connection to her Moondancer heritage, than to her mother's legacy. Early on she dreamed about ability to go and study in Zaetron Derraz and its temple school. So, as soon as she had trained enough in Thalack Nost to satisfy her mother's wishes, she left Netehdrez behind to move to the holy city.

Quarress adored the holy city, and there she also gave birth to her first four children, her sons Sarnatar, Bergatar, Vicerin and Izilvenas. Quarress seemed to anjoy motherhood, and didn't seem to mind not having any daughters, as it kept her firmly in Zaetron Derraz.

But Quarress' life changed, as she did give birth to a daughter in 3338. By that time, none of her sisters hadn't managed to give birth to a daughter, which made newborn Raebreena most likely heir of the House Shadowblade, and as such, would require to be moved to Netehdrez to be trained for the task. Quarress did not like the idea of giving up raising her infant daughter, but she also did not wish to abandon Zaetron Derraz and everything she had accomplished there.

So Quarress had a negotiation with her sisters, one on which she would permanently cut herself and her daughter away from the heritage line. She would start her own family, that would stay as a vassal for Shadowblades, at least for now.
