    "story": "You are a shadow investigator who understood that survival sometimes means moving through the dark unseen. What carried you back was not memory but the echo of devotion, a faith that outlasted even your name. Now you walk between two goddesses, carrying a mission that asks you to betray the only thread connecting you to what you once were. They will remember you as the bard who bloomed from tragedy, never knowing how deep those roots go.\n\nDefining moment: Sylva grew up in Onarora, her family having worked for the Samhcair Synagogue for centuries. That's how her parents and her grandparents before them, and her great grand parents before them, and many more generations in her family met. The Alaric family had dedicated their life to the Samhcair Synagogue and to serving Laconia, ever since the start of the eternal Divine Conflict.  \n\nYou could say Sylva was destined to one day become part of the Samhcair Synagogue and a devout follower of Laconia, the goddess of Silence. And so it happened. As Sylva grew up and came of age, she herself was placed within a group of adventurers, Cassian, Nyssa, Taryn, Galen, Branwen, Morgath and Zenoth (lover who's name she now can't remember), set to spy/sow discord/act as a  militant force for Silence within Onarora.\n\nMuch like her parents, Sylva met someone and became quite fond of one of her group members. Zenoth, a human man. You're typical tall, dark and handsome, man. Long black hair, dark eyes, that would feel like they would be staring straight into your soul if you'd look into them for too long. They would often sneak off to a bar and drink and chat till sunrise.\n\nOne day something went terribly wrong though and they were captured and put within the Labyrinth beneath Onarora.\n\nSylva got Separated from her group and was consumed within The Garden, where she was reborn as a sentient, plant-like humanoid while remaining trapped behind a secret door to The Garden.\n\nAlmost a century went by, before another group entered the labyrinth and took on the devine spark that was held within the Qilderman's Heart, freeing Sylva from her bindings to the Garden. Sylva, now just a distant shadow of who she once was, unable to remember her group, Zenoth, her family, everything just a vague echo of a distant past, went back to Onarora, where she was found separate from The Mazebreakers, where she was taken and given over to Sonancia (The Goddess of Song) directly.\n\nSonancia returned her to Laconia (The Goddess of Silence) as a \"gift\" by returning one of her soldiers. Laconia saw an opportunity to use the Verdalis as opposed to destroying her. She was send after the group calling themselves the mazebreakers. She will have to infiltrate them and keep them non the wiser about her mission to destroy them. (story to the group will be she got seperated from her group and her lover, now wanting to find them or at least get back to their family in Ebanestrine in the Desert of Lystoun to tell them about what happened to them).\n\nAlready paid the price"
