Eloise Pfaffsteiner
"As I have sacrificed my own blood for the freedom we all now posses, it shall be my blood as well that shall reign this city to its end"

Eloise was born in a small settlement called Chercar near Starpeak mountain and raised by her father, the town's weapons blacksmith, and her four older brothers.
Her mother went missing only weeks after Eloise was born.
As daughter of a weapons blacksmith, her father taught her everything about his own craft as well as how to use all sorts of weapons.
Eloise and her four brothers got along well.
Eloise grew up to be kind and strong.
The third eldest of her brother's went to university in Krüks. After a few concerning letters describing the current political situation in the city itself, Eloise decided to go to Krüks herself and see what could be done.
Soon she started jher own fight for freedom and justice. She reclaimed the city and improved the life of the people living in Krüks.
Her rule went on for 39 peaceful years and her descendants live on to this day.
