Stravira
Stravira was a powerful Warlock. A female Half-Elf whose patron was a Celestial Angel patron (known as Zenrin ).
Zenrin sent her to stop The Enchantress Ezmia - for the sake of those in Esau.
MYTH
Stravira was born in the small hamlet of Lyl Trn within Kilt region of Malnax. It was not a place that suited her very well.She showed a natural curiosity that got her into weird places and starnge situations. She would be found stuck between a wall and heavy table unable to get out. When older, she exploded to points of Kilt region, alone or taking friends with her. She even got stuck part way down, where the land fell away to cliffs over the Travis Sounds. Stravira adventured as far as she was allowed. As a child, she always had to be back by dark. Then as a teen, she had to return once a week. As an adult they were surprised when she ever returned.
On one such adventure, during the Spring of 1212AG, Stravira found herself alone and trapped in a Wolf Ant cavern. She sent out prays and requested aid from Dieites or Celestials. It was Zenrin who responded to her. His natural chaos meant, instead of helping her attack the wolf ant, Zenrin gave her power to control the creature.
As she became an adult, Stravira's Warlock powers increased. She was able to use her magic to aid the weak and protect the young children all around Malnax.
She rescued an group of children from an orpanage in Oshad, within the settlement of Flame. That is where she received a large scar on her back. She burnt the building to the ground, while removing any magical power it held.
The Enchantress Ezmia had her followers grooming the children within Flame* to become Soucercers, evil Warlocks, bodyguards or sacrifices in her desire for greater power.
Stravira returned later with a flock of magically-influenced Wyverns, to destroy the settlement - realising the people were still doing the Enchantress' bidding.
* The settlement has been gifted to The Seekers, for services to Hammerforge Palace royal family.
ZENRIN
Zenrin came to Esau, on Enjils Aura Sitaare in 1169 - the 21st day within the month of Rew. On that day, one of the Living Stars and it's companion from Celestia landed on Esau, in Kutloc, just North of Labés City. The curious Star went along to look at Labés City, along with Zenrin, who had been sent to trying to free Eiellu (which had since been renamed Labés City by the newer rulers), and Kutloc from the curse - after the Archangel Naarai (Archangel of Parenthood) was slain.The Living Star was captured with the Arcane magic of the Wild Elves - aided by the brooding Hecate Darkmoon (who once had been Moonweaver).
Zenrin saw the star to be in no immediate peril, as those who had captured it would not harm it.
Zenrin chose to find the cause of the curse created by Klodis, and the actions of Melora.
In his travels he came upon things done by The Enchantress Ezmia. His travels took him all the way to Kilt region of Malnax.
In 1212, Zenrin meet Stravira in person - who had previously became loyal to him to taken him as her Warlock patron. However, then Zenrin asked her to travel with him. Acrossing the Teal Ocean was the last anyone ever heard of Stravira, and for the longest time, Zenrin. Stravira had always hated large bodies of water, but was not going to let it stop her.
Historical Basis
ZENRIN's OWN WORDS (in third person)
* He would be one who wants the generations to prosper - nurture the young, train them, make sure they are strong and smart enough to continue progressing the world. So he would help out both types of people - help those who want intelligence to help further develop the world, and help those who want strength to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
* And then every so often he would use some warlocks to explore and gather information on stuff he didn't understand... as a patron, Zen would have wanted to gather information and learn everything about the world... just because of the irony of him now being functionally a dumbass
In Art
The only piece of art of Stravira was done by unknown artist (actually was done by Zenrin) - of her riding on a Wolf Ant. Hangs in the Art Gallery in Farr City, within the Northern Isle.
