Brin Stolsom
Brin Stolsom was born to a seafaring family along the western coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars in the year DR 1750. Raised in a salty, transient household with little paternal influence, Brin looked to her two older brothers as the strong father figures needed to develop a healthy identity. Brin’s father, Caleb Stolsom, spent a great deal of his time at sea, and her mother, Alina, had her hands amply full caring for the six Stolsom children during Caleb’s absences.
Brin’s older brothers, Caleb and Ethen, were influenced away from the mariner’s life by their mother, but managed to assuage their seafaring genes by working for a merchant shipping business that ran regular transports across the sea. In time, they were beckoned by the lucrative call of the adventurer’s life found in Raven’s Bluff. It was only a few short months after their first wayward adventurers that the brothers disappeared while questing near the Dragon Falls.
The entire Stolsom family shattered. It was a slow and painful fracture, but over the next three years, the once potent unit became almost ethereal. As the degradation evolved, Brin sought purpose in a spiritual direction. Visiting an aunt in Yhaunn, she happened upon a scene of violence amidst the dusky streets of the southern city.
At first, the young half-Mulani, half-Chondathan girl from Scardale didn’t even realize to what she was paying witness until the metal of the drawn blades clanged for the third time. The assassination attempt came swiftly and silently in the small side street of the coastal town. To this day Brin does not know who hired the killers or who the target of the attack was. Her attention was totally drawn by the man who stood unflinching in the face of such adversity.
