Eryin's Background
Eryin was born into nobility, the only child of a union between the houses of Sauhnn and Elayth. The Sauhnn were age old warriors; generation after generation of fighters and paladins of Heironeous. It was from this house that Eryin's human father, Cabel, was chosen for the alliance and formation of a new organization of time warriors called the Coiasirohtar. Eryin's mother, Tril, was the second member of this outset. She was an elven chronomancer, and the most prodigious of the Elayth family, as well as the land over which her house ruled.
Eryin was born two years after their union; her birth kept secret from all save those involved with the Coiasirohtar. Eryin began her training as a warrior at an early age, however, the art of chronomancy was withheld from her, as all hopes had been placed on a male child.
After years of attempts to bear a son, Eryin's destiny became that of her unconceived brother. Cabel took over Eryin's training himself, trying to compress many years of tutelage into the short time they had left. A new Coiasirohtar was needed, and it was Eryin's slot to fill.
When Erin wasn't sparring with her father, she was spending time with her mother, learning the gentility that made her a lady, a noble woman proud to carry the Sauhnn name. More importantly, Tril was watching her.. testing her... trying to gauge Eryin's ability to learn her art. What she saw surprised and frightened her. Eryin was gifted, but in a way Tril had not considered nor anticipated. Eryin could sometimes see things with just a touch... see past events. It was random, and untamed, and her mother feared that while invaluable, it could prove disastrous could the girl not control it. Tril made the difficult decision not to teach the girl chronomancy... instead, she channeled half her magical ability and imbued it into a vial of blue she had found five years before, in the temple of Celestian. She taught Eryin to use it, and gently convinced her that the vial gave her the extra-sensory abilities as well that the half-elf had been gifted with.
Her training complete, Eryin's official induction into the Coiasirohtar was fulfilled, consummated with the changing of her name to reflect her destiny. Eryin Sauhnn became Eryin Coiasirohtar on the eve of her 23rd autumn.
Eryin's missions were simple the first 3 years - object retrieval for the most part, with Eryin using the vial to see into the past, and then traveling there and back, changing seemingly insignificant details in history for beneficial outcomes in the present.
It was late one evening during her 27th summer when the messenger arrived with the mission. Eryin knew it was not intended for her... but the others gone, the unexpected window of opportunity could not be passed because she wasn't as skilled as others may have been. If she failed, she died, and no harm would come to anyone else. If she succeeded... it meant freedom from Nerull's reign for an entire country.
Eryin left immediately.
