Aria and Lucas
It is unkown where Mara grew up only that she was poor and widowed when both her children Aria and Lucas were at a young age. When a plauge struck her town and she could not convice a cleric of the Ten to help her nor afford any anti-plauge she began praying to the Ten for help. As she prayed day and night for her children to overcome whatever disease plauged them she became more desprated ash she began to promise horrible and dark offerings to whatever was listening as more and more time passed and her children grew weaker and weaker. Finally one night Mara realized that there were many more rats in the room than what was beyond normal as she was surrounded by more rats than one could count within a days time. Suddenly two rats came forward and each crawled down her children's throat as Mara sat there powerless and unable to do anything a wierd feeling in her told her that something finally was helping her children, a fellow Mother at that. Mara and her two children began quietly changing that night and for many more nights as their neighbors eventuall reported a disgusting smell to the city guards. While the guards found Mara and her children they were not the weak half-elves that they once were as the horrifed guards would have reported had they left the home alive that day as Aria and Lucas were for the first time in their lives finally full.
Evolithic Conclave
Mara soon began to travel around town healing the sick and poor, the ones that died slowly where followers of the Ten never even thought to look. From there she started the Evolithic Conclave in the town that soon consumed the surround area turning it into a self devouring/self evolving jungle biome where Mara's children were the apex predators while Mara listened to the Ancient Hive that she now carried as it told her of the next part of her plan. She was to join a Red Holiday and prove her and her children's strength in return for opening a portal to Ix'acroth for her Mother in Emaxus. Being delivered an invitation to join another who had an invitation to the event she traveled to the location to meet the stranger that would offer her such an oppritunity. From there she and the Dark Hand struck a bargain, he would have the Proving Grounds for himself and he would use it to fufill her Mother's wishes as well.
