Brynn was born on a humble farm, nestled in the heart of the Empire’s fertile valleys, where life revolved around the sun’s gentle rhythm and the earth’s slow, steady pulse. From her earliest memories, she felt an inexplicable connection to the natural world, her small hands soothing injured animals, coaxing wilting plants back to life, and her very presence seeming to bring a sense of calm to the land.
As she grew, her powers intensified, attracting the notice of an enigmatic traveler – a wanderer skilled in the arts of natural magic, her wisdom drawn from centuries spent studying the secrets of Yrdde’s forests. Recognizing the immense potential and hidden danger in her gift - the Empire’s growing distrust of those outside of the College - they offered their child to the wandering sage in hopes of keeping her safe.
For years, Brynn journeyed alongside the sage, forming a bond of mentorship and a shared love for nature’s power. She learned the subtle arts of herbalism, the potent language earth magic, and the healing energies woven into the very air of Yrdde. But their tranquil existence shattered when the Empire outlawed natural magic, branding practitioners as threats to order and control.
The sage, sensing the approaching storm of the Arbiters' wrath, vanished, leaving behind only a cryptic message for Brynn – a single seed imbued with a potent growth spell – and whispered warnings of a growing danger in the far reaches of Yrdde.
Brynn, her heart heavy with loss and her future uncertain, found herself a fugitive in her own homeland. She sought refuge on the fringes of the Empire, then the lawless territories beyond – forever alone, surrounded by countless other wanderers, and the world keeps spinning.
