Eriyne

=History=

Eriyne was born Irene Cormier to a poor farmer and his wife on the outskirts of Brill. Irene had the fortune to be born very small, almost doll-like at a height of 4'11", and very very pretty.

Her parents, seeing Irene's prettyness as a way to move upward in thier fortunes, invested in some fetching dresses, and began making sure the local monied single men got sight of thier daughter as she grew into young adulthood.

Irene caught the eye of a very wealthy farmer, who had an extensive manor that produced goods marketed all over the Kingdom of Lordaeron. At the age of 18, Irene married Frederick Fields, and began managing the large prosperous farm while her husband spent much time in travel to sell the goods the manor produced.

Two sons, Thomas and Samuel, were born of the union. Irene, and Frederick had been married 10 happy years when the plague came. It was then that in an act of stunning cowardice Frederick fled away from Brill instead of rescuing his family when he heard news of the disease heading toward the town. He justified to a friend,"I made one family, I can make another." Eriyne, Thomas and Samuel all perished of the plague.

If the Light was kind to Eriyne, her story would end here, but out of the mass grave she was buried in, arose Irene. She spent 5 years as a mindless pawn of the Litch-King, murduring many helpless people, and wreaking great havok, before his grasp upon the masses of the scourge weakened. When Sylvanus rebelled Irene joined in the ranks, and found herself freed of the Litch-King's shackles.

Renaming herself Eriyne, an ancient word meaning "Fury", Eriyne set out to find out what had happened to her family, and took up the study of demons.

Study came easily to Eriyne, and she progressed rapidly in her studies, seeming to grasp control of a new demon daily, and she grew quickly into her new career, but she was not so fortunate in familial matters. Eriyne found out that Frederick fled the plague from a business associate of his who had also become forsaken.

Forsaking her studies for a while Eriyne trekked all over the lands of Azeroth hunting her husband. Tasting failure, she placed a bounty upon Frederick's head, and hung notice the bounty in Booty Bay. It was then that Eriyne met a group of assorted hordelings called "The Grey Tiger Tong" who offered to find Frederick for a price.

Eriyne eagerly agreed, and in a little time was rewarded with a letter in the mail stating that her husband would be brought to meet her at the Lighthouse in Westfall.

Eriyne eagerly rode out to the Lighthouse, and her husband was brought to her. With boiling rage she confronted him for letting his sons die, and sliced open his throat.

After the death of her husband, Eriyne went into mourning throwing herself into the study of the books written in blood on human skin that held the greatest knowledge of the nether. Slowly she began adventuring with a strong Jungle Troll by the name of Crul'jin.

In defiance of fate, and race the two fell deeply in love, and shared a summer of bliss adventuring togeather. However, a dark force had awoken in Eriyne, and echewing her new loves company for a time, she sought out again her books, and the power that lay within.

When Eriyne saw Crul'jin again he had moved beyond the ending of thier relationship and was courting anew. Eriyne's morale was crushed and she once again, sought refuge in the smoke of lit candles and crabbed writing in Eredun.

What emerged from the smokey library was an twisted power hungry Warlock who reveled in pain and death, and sought above all to manipulate others into killing for her while she remained inviolate in reputation.

It was while she was in this state of being that she got into a heated argument with a warrior named Thweikantra, and hired another warlock named Razas Josephson to kill him. The bounty Razas asked for this deed was her heart, which he put into a jar. To this day, the heart is still in a Jar on Razas' shelf.

Eriyne was shocked back into her humanity with the discovery that her sons were not dead as she thought, but alive and in the service of the Litch-King. After casting around for any way other then death to save her sons, Eriyne was forced to kill them to return thier sould to the light.

=Current=

Eriyne is very self interested and cold. The loss of her heart has made her much more logical, but deviod of deep feeling. Eriyne welcomes this because she does not feel the death of her sons so acutely.

Eriyne is not necessarily evil, but niether is she good. She is brutally honest, and still plays mind games by asking uncomfortable difficult questions to the people who least wish to be challenged on issues.

The killing of Thweikantra has has ramifications in that a rogue named "Desaad" is after her death. Eiyne finds him amusing.
