From the start, Leloth was the oddball of the family, actually of the town as she recalls it. Her parents both human with an unknown infernal lineage had given birth to a tiefling! They were surprised but she was stilled loved as their child. At the age of three Leloth lost her father who went out on a mercenary job and never came back. So she was raised by her mother with her two sisters, and had as normal of a childhood as possible for someone like her. Leloth had friends, whether they were, or were not, shady in her rundown neighborhood. They visited her house every once in a while and were surprised at her modest living style, thinking that she was poor. At around ten years of age Leloth's mother told her the story of how her father went missing and the work he did, begging that Leloth not follow in her fathers footsteps.

At fourteen Leloth knew she was destined to follow a life in mercenary work despite her mothers insistence not to, twas just a phase she giggles now. So for a year she went on as a hired hand and entertainment as she had  the voice of an angel. On her final, and most spectacular job, a dragon appeared and  took her and her party to its lair and ate them... or tried to. Leloth barely escaped with her life and lost a toe and most of her left horn from the experience. After that adventure she decided to leave the mercenary work to others and find a new line of work one with less danger, a lot less danger. Though it seemed that the cosmos had a very different plan in mind for her...

The people who had hired her to go on her last mission had lost an outlandish amount of profit from her expedition and after learning that she survived had decided to vent their rage on the last surviving member of the group. By altering the path of a long going war, the soldiers brought ruin to her village completely wiping it from history. Leloth was forced to flee to a nearby village with the remaining members of her hometown and to take refuge there. For three months she and her family lived in the village tavern until a group of rough looking bandits came to the village exclaiming "The one named Leloth is the one who brought ruin to your home! She is the reason for your missfortune!" The people of both villages gasped at these words and vented their combined wrath on her. She was forced to flee to the deep forests whilst hearing the thugs laugh behind her. 

After spending several years in hermitude in the shaded regions of her forest, as she calls it. During this time she decided to claim a new title for herself in the form of the surname Lorekeeper. Leloth Lorekeeper had human interaction, albeit very little, such as traders, caravans, the occasional bandit/raider, a group of wounded soldiers of whom she healed for some silver, which she then she used said silver to have a fanciful night full of alcohol. Though there was once during her solitude that she met another hermit, who's name was Fi Yelsatra. Leloth had taken to this new companion quite quickly and soon become lovers, though one eventful evening a group of raiders had happened upon Leloth and Fi and tried to murder and loot them, Leloth laughs when questioned about this event saying only that "It was one of, if not the best, nights of my life". When Fi realized that Leloth would not survive this encounter she transformed into a beautiful silver scaled dragon slaying all in her path and retreating to the skies when the battle was won, leaving a very confused and drunken Leloth behind.
 
At the age of twenty she made her way to the great city of Waterdeep, a place where none had heard about the tragedy of her home or the supposed criminal behind its destruction. Leloth is normally found in the Yawning Portal Inn singing, dancing, drinking, and occasionally beating the teeth out of a handsy drunk with an attitude. She always heals said drunk if the fight gets too tense though, it keeps her on the right side of the city watch.

ABOUT US
A gaming group started in late 2005 when several members (from all over the world) came together on a long-running forum website called Plothook.net (formally known as Highmoon.net). Several games transformed from a by-the-book format to highly modified versions that became new hybrid systems with completely custom rules and abilities. Ten years later, these faithful players wanted to secure their work and their stories, becoming the basis of these forums.
