Elissari Yaru
Born: 13,803
Died: 13,885
Early History:
Elissari Yaru was born in the small town of Karatant, to the west of the City of Kimby. Born to a local farmer and his seamstress wife, the two provided a decent life for Elissari where she enjoyed more comforts than the average town folk. They say she was a child of the rain; both conceived and born during a thunderstorm, she was often seen playing in the rain and puddles during light storms. An intelligent and inquisitive child, Elissari grew into a woman who craved more than her parents and the town of Karatant could offer her.
It was during the Feast of First Harvest in the year 13,820 that a Wayfarer graced the town with his presence. Bringing fine mead for all and work opportunities for those who considered themselves brave, the Wayfarer’s words seemed to appeal to the young woman. As he spoke of adventure, discovery and riches, Elissari Yaru knew she had to be one of them. She spoke with the Wayfarer, who gave her 10 gp to obtain a weapon and a map to her first test as an initiate of the Wayfarer’s.
With few skilled blacksmiths within the small town of Karatant, Elissari sought out one of her closest friends; Roeder Smithson. An apprentice of his fathers, Roader Smithson had made horse shoes, pitons, and repaired old tools since he was tall enough to reach the anvil. But he had never made a weapon meant to maim or kill. His father owned the local ferrier shop and the closest they had come to weapon making was an occasional axe for the local woodcutter. Ellisari had asked Roader to make her a weapon, and though he was hesitant he could see that she was desperate. Wanting to help his friend, he spent 3 nights making the Battle Axe for her.
Though the axe was unimpressive to most, Elissari loved her friend's creation. It was sharp, it was weighted perfectly for her, and most of all, it meant that she could begin her adventure of joining the Wayfarer’s.
The Birth of the Starbreaker:
Some may argue that the Starbreaker was born when Roeder plunged the completed weapon into the cooling water for the final time, and those who say that would be partly correct. However, the weapon that Roeder made was but a foundation for the weapon that it would become.
After climbing the ranks of the Wayfarer’s and making a decent name for herself, Elissari Yaru was tasked with retrieving a vial of Fae Light from deep within a nearby Fae Vein. Elissari had never traveled to the Plane of the Fae before; she had never even met a fae. But armed with her Starbreaker she entered the vein to complete her quest, and was not heard from again for 15 years. When she emerged, victorious, she and the weapon she wielded were forever changed. The skills and abilities that she gained while lost in the Fae Vein helped her climb the ranks of the guild even further until she was voted the leader of The Wayfarer's.
