Larran
Dark Elf Shadowknight of Neriak
I was raised alone by my mother, Yseassa Lav'Tyn; a powerful and formidable Necromancer. When she was but a young apprentice, she met and fell in love with a slippery Rogue. She never told me his name – only that he left her as soon as he learned she was with child. I've never felt a desire to know the father that abandoned my mother and I, and if my travels were to ever cause us to meet, it would bring me great pleasure to end his life. My mother was never able to love again.
Aged and withered now, she spends her days pouring over her books in the vast library in Neriak's Third Gate. It was this less-traveled and rich part of the city where I grew up. People still come to my mother for wisdom and spells, but her mind fails her much in her old age.
I could never hope to attain the mastery of magic that my mother possessed, and am content to harness the smaller power that I do in my profession as a Shadowknight. My travels have taken me across the many diverse lands of Norrath, but my heart never leaves the dark and daunting Netukulos forest that is my home.
