I was born in the bustling port city of Qeynos. My father, Arnas BryteWynde, was a retired Ranger. My mother, Motya, was the daughter of a fisherman and never learned a trade. She spent her life raising my older brother, Erian, and myself.

When Erian was of age, he left the family to live in Surefall Glade, where my father was born and raised, and had learned his craft. Two years later, my parents were murdered by brigands that had smuggled in to the city by ship. Erian took me to live with him in Surefall Glade.
