✧─Early Life?..?

Things in the Shadows

Myrrh's recorded history begins in Old Sharlayan, where she was enlisted into the ranks of their scholars to teach several languages at the Studium. When the Sharlayans crossed the sea to Dravania, Myrrh was among them, and she was counted among the founding members of the outpost that would later become the official Sharlayan colony. Her ability to speak over a dozen languages fluently made her very popular among the foreign students that began to flock in droves, though they never ceased to be baffled by how she never seemed to age.

With the evacuation of the Sharlayan colony, Myrrh found herself a wanderer once more. This time, her interest in the tunnels below the Black Shroud would lead her to Gridania, where she would encounter Majj, the Keeper boy she would adopt as her son. While Myrrh didn't quite know how to be a mother, she loved Majj dearly and it was for his own safety that she left him in the care of her old friend, Matoya, before she went to Carteneau to aid Archon Louisoix.

Myrrh disappeared on Carteneau not through Louisoix's time magic but by her own ancient spell which flung her all the way back to Dalmasca. The history that isn't written hides this: she was something rightfully trapped in the depths of the Necrohol of Mullonde that escaped when someone dug where they weren't supposed to. Whatever happened after that is a story that only Myrrh knows, and so long as she has it her way it will stay like that.

Myrrh is by far the most powerful and dangerous of «lode»'s mages, and she wields a magic so ancient she may be the only person alive left to know anything about it. Her spells have innate feeling of wrongness, like being plunged into dark water with no way of telling which way the surface is. It encompasses everything between frigid cold wrapping around your ankles and dragging you down and being swallowed by the fires of the deepest circle of hell.
