When she was 16 she met Roland Dosam, whom she fell in love with. She was called away to attend Sharna’s Academy and did not rejoin Roland until after he and his friends were named Heroes of Parangaim.

Voli'na
Human Sorcerer

Born: Brightsun 28th, 36 RS

Voli'na was born to Shorman and Valna of the town of Kavalis. From the first instant that she opened her mouth, her parents knew she was different. Strange syllables unlike anything ever heard before flowed from her mouth, and a delicate music bubbled from her infant throat, thrilling her parents immensely. They felt that the child was destined for greatness, and that she might be able to cleanse away the stains left by the country's dark past. This elation quickly turned into fear however, as over the child's first couple of months the song changed. Soon the song had changed from a inspiring hymn to a dirge the likes of which the world had never seen. Horrified at their child's new song, and fearing that the thing was a prophecy, Shorman and Valna fled from their hometown to far away Lydel. Two hours after they departed, the town was razed to the ground by the few remaining reminants of the Kreigan army to keep it from being used against them.

Thinking they had escaped from the horrible fate their daughter had prophesied for them, the three of them settled down in the town. They soon turned to beating their daughter, whom they saw as the source of all of their problems, and forced her into prostitution to help pay for their debilitating habits. Things might have continued on like this forever, had the Flamerunners not decided to leave town on the 9th of Quickwater 46 RS.

Fleeing the town in a desperate attempt to escape Jiro's assasins, the Flamerunners torched the town and pillaged it for the few remaining supplies. Voli'na watched in both horror and satisfaction as the town that had been both her prision and her home burned before her very eyes. However, a nearby archon broke ranks with its platoon and flew over to the site where the villagers were hiding. The archon broke into the ceiling of the building and spirited the child away from the town. The remaining villagers were slaughtered due to the austentatious display made by the archon. The archon brought her to a cave in the nearby hills and warded the entrance against the flames spreading throughout the area. Terrified for her friend and frightened of being alone, Voli'na begged the archon to return and save her friend. After promising to do so, the archon flew off to the town. He was never seen by Voli'na again.

After living on her own for many years, Voli'na received a vision of the one who destroyed her previous homes. Though the vision was often quite hazy, she knew that she needed to stop this man. She trained her powers and soon learned that she could call on the might of the gods, and began her quest to bring low the leader of the Flamerunners.
