BIO / BACKGROUND HISTORY: Born in Aldoria in the year 245, Lysandra was like many a surrendered child of the war against the undead. Her parents, who were members of an Aldorian based chapter of the Order of Arnath, were sent on a mission to defend a monastery from the undead when she was just 5 years old. With her parents gone and unlikely to come back to raise her, she was given into the care of the Order as many people of generations before her had been. Upon being transferred to the care of the Order of Arnath’s Fist, she was brought to the fledgling fortress of Starkhaven. She grew up to work as a tenant of the city; learning and laboring as all colonists to the new world had to in order to survive. Though she lived her life in
the care of the Order, she had not yet considered becoming a cleric of the Fist. Her youth as a ward of the Order left her with conflicted emotions about what service in a martial order means and who ends up paying the price.
Her mind slowly began changing as a new divergence on the path of Arnath was revealed. The Order of Arnath’s Light, with their more progressive views, had a much more attractive temperament than the Fist and their rigid military focus. The catalyst that was to completely change her mind came from the civil conflict within Starkhaven. She was not on either side, but rather, was one of the citizens who survived the strife caused by the Order itself. Having seen the chaos firsthand and feeling helpless to stop it, she made the difficult decision that she would stand before she ever felt helpless again. She could not stand to see another tragic mistake caused by narrow-mindedness and fear. This realization cast a harsh light on her own thinking, showing her that fear and narrow-mindedness had kept her from recognizing the true merit of service above self because her parents had abandoned her for a similar cause at such a young age. Lysandra joined the Light shortly before the formation of the Arnathian March and the dissolution of the chapter system on Mardrun. She has since spent the better part of the last decade training to earn her place as an Eagle. Her zeal and perseverance through her struggle to find her way along Arnath’s path earned her the surname Zealranger. Her hard work and dedication to this new direction the Order has taken is paying off and she now looks to add her efforts in the service of a greater good.
