Backstory

Masral Rife's "dangerous curiosity" was ignited by the mysterious reactivation of the Bukhara Spire Gateways. Where others saw only the resurrected fears of invasion and chaos, Masral saw a source of immense, untamed power. This fascination led her to delve into forbidden lore concerning the nature of the spires and the entities that reside in the spaces between planes. Her unsanctioned research was discovered by Zilvra Bedjir, the cunning matriarch of the newly formed House Bedjir.

Rather than punish the young Drow, Zilvra saw a reflection of her own ambition and a powerful, loyal tool. She took Masral under her wing, nurturing her magical talents while carefully twisting her understanding of history. Zilvra painted the fallen House T'Sarran as demonic sympathizers who sought to corrupt the gateways, and its last known survivor, Sszardin, as the key to their apocalyptic plans.

Utterly convinced and fiercely loyal to the mentor who embraced her forbidden passions, Masral now serves House Bedjir as a soldier and mage hunter. She pursues Sszardin T'Sarran relentlessly, believing his demise will prevent another Shadow War and secure the dominance of House Bedjir, all while secretly hoping to understand and claim the very planar power she has been sent to destroy.
