Personal history
Born on the island of Velnhome , Xora grew up with only one goal. To go to sea and one day command her own Beardspike. She spent time in the shipyards, becoming familiar with every aspect of that type of vessel. When Xora finally went to sea she proved a boon crew member. Time and again she would distinguish herself, rising in esteem and responsibilities until a short 20 years after her first voyage she was given command of her first Beardspike. She went on trading and pirating for the next fifty years, becoming one of the most respected and well known dwarven captains.
When the Great Split occurred and those who would form Clan Waverider gathered to choose their first Clan Mistress many were considered but Xora eventually gained the vote and became the first to lead the Clan. She accepted as long as it was understood she had no desire to be landbound. She organized the lesser clans and communities, appointing Friherrinas to administer them. While she did make mistakes, her tenure as Clan Mistress set the Clan up for long term success.
Xora served as Clan Mistres for fifty two years until her death. She died in the place she loved the most on the deck of her beardstrike, The Surging Forward. All of dwarfdom mourned her passing, even the arch-traditionalists of Clan Stoneborn. Her successor bore Xora's Edge at the request of Xora's daughter. It became the symbol of office for the Clan Mistress
