Arvena Thelas

Arvena is a high moon elf female who originally resided in Ominira. Her husband Varen Thelas was one of the founding elves who brought the sun and moon clans together.

History
Arvena and Varen married just over 500 years ago, when the Dawn to Dusk Treaty was signed. They had a happy marriage and had 5 healthy children, Valla, Vickars, Vallis, and the twins Greta and Hans. Valla however, was born outside of marriage and was sent away to live in a human home to avoid a noble scandal, all those who knew of her were sufficiently silenced. Varen, however, did stay in touch with Valla until her 18th nameday, when Varen disappeared. It turned out that Varen had contracted vampirism from a very old and powerful vampire and rather than be discovered, he fled. Realizing that he could not bear to be without his family, he turned them all in their sleep, and then fled, leaving a note that they should move south and tell noone the reason. He never knew Arvena was pregnant at the time, and the curse caused the child to be stillborn. They did move south, to an old fishing village called Yoikoko, where they lived unmolested for 3 years before they began to suspect something was wrong with them. When Varen came clean about what they were, and what he'd done, Arvena couldn't live with it and blamed Varen for their unborn child's death, and the twisted nature she saw her children slowly developing. She eventually tried to kill him years later but failed. Varen had become a very powerful mage and cast two very powerful enchantments (NMA and Mod Memory) on his family, took the children, then vanished into the night.

Arvena woke up believing that her husband deserted a battle above the Dragon's Crown and was never found. She's been a widow ever since, her children slain in an orc raid.

Now
The party brought Arvena news that they had actually slain Varen and gave her his affects.
