    Birth of Danforth & Alicia Laertes
    Life, Birth

    Twin children are born to Shania; a boy and a girl. Under cover of night, she abandons them on the steps of the Crystal Cathedral, beneath the statue of Saint Danforth. They are taken in by the Order's Schola and given the first-names Danforth (after the Saint) and Alicia, and the last-name Laertes (as orphans of Ophelia). Kept apart in gender-specific Schola, the two of them are unaware of each other and their relationship.
