Child of Briar
You were orphaned at the steps of the Sanctuary, raised among hundreds of others who became your chosen family. Giselle Briar, the High Priestess of the temple, took you in with warmth and unconditional love. Taking on her last name was optional—many did. All were welcome: the lost, the broken, the abandoned. Whether orphaned young or fleeing a life-shattering event, the Sanctuary was a home for all. You find peace in places of worship—it echoes the comfort of Giselle’s embrace when your heart once ached.
