Brigid is currently travelling towards Arcadia with the skull of Velic
(12th Primary Regress, Pass of 3798).
Background:
Brigid is one of two children born to Brandon and Carmen O’Hara.
She is a fraternal twin, and grew up in Ascaria with her brother
Conrad.
Her father, a quiet, stoic cleric archivist, was known in the city by
the
name Kent and spent most of his time in the church while raising Brigid
and Conrad alone. Unknown to Brigid, Brandon was at one time
deeply
involved in a political uprising in the a far off border region near
Dalon.
In the city of Domtal, which was at that period a city in one of the
border
kingdoms, near the Dalonian border, Brandon was one of eight clerics
responsible
to the Church of Sivald, dedicated to the god Arawn. Being a keen
observer of human relations and very charismatic, Brandon noticed over
time a corruption infiltrating the minds of his colleagues; he soon
suspected
one of the men, the church archbishop Monavid, to be of evil alignment
and a spy from Dalon sent to claim the region for the Dalon
state.
In convincing two of his fellow clerics of his suspicions, he was
inevitably
found out and Monavid, along with the remaining four church leaders,
gathered
support in the city in order to banish Brandon and his followers.
However, the region was divided in allegiance, and soon friction
evolved
into violence. Monavid, in seeking to cripple Brandon’s quest to
annihilate evil, had an assassin murder Brandon’s wife and his two
young
children; however, Carmen was able to hide Brigid and Conrad in a
passing
hay carriage routed Eastward. Brigid’s mother was knifed, and her
body was used as a sacrifice to the god of Mordrid as a public display
of the Monavid’s eventual victory. Brandon and one of the other
good
clerics managed to escape with their lives, but the third of their
party,
Samuel, died in the attempt. Aware of his wife’s plan to have his
children spared death, he and his friend Vladamite salvaged the luck
needed
to catch up with Brigid and her brother, and find safe haven in Ascaria
under new names and low profiles.
Conrad was most interested in his father’s library work, and was
eventually
taken in as a pupil by the sorcerer Kalmidulin in a neighboring
village.
Brigid, on the other hand, was less keen on bookwork; she preferred
settling
matters with her growing skill with the sword. But she was no
feminine
disappointment to her father; Brigid was always very mannered and kind,
and forever loyal to her family. Brigid was also raised with a
deeply
set devotion to her god, Arawn. She
knew nothing of her mother, and was never too interested until she once
overheard a conversation between her father and Vladamite (whom she
called
Nathan). They were discussing a man named Monavid, the man
responsible
for the evil slaughter of her mother Carmen; he apparently had gathered
a large army in Dalon with the intention of extending the Dalonian
border
to expand the evil empire. Monavid himself was currently on his
way
to the skull coast region on a mission her father knew little about.
Brigid is quiet and careful, and has a tendency to be
self-righteous.
Although her introversion is marked, deliberate evil acts aimed at the
defenseless light a rarely observed temper. But more than
anything,
Brigid is loyal, both to her god and to her family, and when her will
is
provoked her mission is relentless. Soon after hearing her
father’s
conversation, she wrote a letter to Conrad telling him of her
plan:
she was to go to the nearby city Novid to train as a warrior, and set
off
to find the man responsible for her mother’s death. Not waiting
for
a reply, she slipped away from her father’s home early the next morning.
