Personal history
Alptraum remembers little of her life in the mountains of the Erlking's Domain before she found her way onto a passing Windship returning to Montlug after a failed expedition to The Lost Peninsula. Upon arriving, she lived for a time as a street urchin in the city, associating with the local Tower, living by repairing small traps, fixing devices and other small tasks in exchange for food and shelter. She had heard rumors that her sister had passed through Montlug and decided to try and follow them.
Discovering she had a knack not just for repair, but for invention, she sought out new opportunities away from the crowded slums of Montlug. She arranged to work on a sparkcatcher from Opalport, before moving to Carusburg, the finally Naoned, following her sister's path.
In the Canal City, she discovered that the gargoul Tower living in the lantern tower of the Library of Gohard, where her sister had been leader, had been wiped out by a Babewyn attack the year before. Alptraum settled in the tower, dedicating herself to her mad inventions.
