Delora

I was born in a little grove in the woods. My mother was of magical descent while my father was not. I had inherited my mothers love of nature and all things in it. I had spent many happy childhood and early years in the woods with the animals. I learned many of the ways of nature from elders of my family.

One day while sitting by a tree a young warrior of a different descent happened to walk by. He did not look like anyone I have met before and I knew he was not from around where I lived. He was short and stocky but didn't seem to mean me any harm. So I talked to him and asked him his name. He told me his name was Balar. We sat for hours talking, and got to know each other well. He did not mind that I had magic in me as some people from far away lands are afraid of it.

He asked me if I wanted to visit his far away city to see what it was like for he knew I had not left my town at all yet. After much thought...I took the journey with him to his lands. I met with his parents in Schloss Matzen and it felt like home to me.

After a while, Balar and I were married and lived in Schloss Matzen very happily. I would sit for hours in my upper rooms quilting and making tapestries for our walls. This old castle does get drafty in the winter.

One day though someone of importance came to the castle and talked with Balar and long time. I knew something bad had happened and that he would be involved. He came to me and told me of this great war between good and evil and that he would need my help and my nature magic to help rid the land of the evil. So we traveled to a land that I dare not even speak it's name and had many adventures. It was many years before we saw our beautiful home Schloss Matzen again.

After many years of fighting the evil ones...we have retired to our home again in Schloss Matzen. It was so peaceful there and we were happy to finally have time to enjoy each other and our home again.

Then one day...a rider came to the castle with a message for me. It was from Lady Elaine Le Blanke asking me to persuade Lord Balar to come aid Albion. For it was in great despair since King Arthur's fall. After reading the message..I thought to myself...'It is time'...and I went to look for Lord Balar....

And so our journey to Albion begins.
