History
From an early age, Selena Selena learned firsthand the harsh lessons of the desolation desert life. With her entire family slain by marauding Bandits, the young girl and other orphans like her could only hope to survive by stealing food from local markets of Nicodranas, and delving into half-buried ancient ruins in search of trinkets to sell. They would brave cramped tunnels and forgotten crypts, hunting for anything of value, often scrapping viciously with one another over the best finds. Selena would lead others into the depths, but could rarely hold on to what few treasures she managed to unearth. After being robbed by her supposed friend Mhyra, she swore she would never allow herself to be betrayed again, and in time she joined a group of mercenaries, the southern branch of the Mercenary Club led by the renowned Iha Ziharo, serving as their guide and general lackey. Though her flourishing skill at arms eventually led her to become Ziharo’s personal sergeant, Selena noted that the domineering leader took the greatest share of gold and glory from every raid… even when it was Selena’s clever strategies that brought them their wealth. Rallying her fellow sellswords, Selena decided to strike against Ziharo, and replace her as leader. Unwilling to kill her former mentor, though, Selena left her alone in the desert with a hollow offer of good luck. Over the years, Selena and her new followers earned a fearsome reputation. They accepted any task for good pay, including a commission from a patriarch looking for a an ancient magical item for his collection—a blade known as “the Chalicar”. Accompanied by his personal guards, Selena searched for many months, until she finally pried a cross-shaped blade from the sarcophagus of some hero of the old Orrin Empire. This was a treasure indeed, crafted by cunning and magic in a long-forgotten age. Selena marveled at it—never had a weapon felt so natural in her grip. When the captain of the guard demanded they return it to their master, Selena threw the blade in a curved arc threw the blade in a curved arc, decapitating the captain and cutting down the three men behind him in an instant. She fought her way from the tomb, leaving only the dead in her wake. Selena’s reputation soon spread beyond the desert.
