Description Adentha is a half-elf Star Pact Warlock who was raised in a sea-side commune where a cult of star-worshipers make their home. As is the case with many of the children of the commune, her mother, Seral, was an elven sailor and her father, Adam, was a human astronomer.

Seral joined the commune at the age of 18, after having sailed the seas as the servant of a captain for four years. A sea-monster attacked the boat one day, and left none but the servants alive. Seral was left to guide them home, having been taught some navigation by the ship's first mate. The stars twinkled in the sky, almost leading her to the mainland. From that day forward she believed that the stars were watching out for her.

And this was the attitude that Adentha had about the stars for a long time. She lived sheltered in the commune for a long time, until she was 16, when she left to take a pilgrimage under the stars.

But when she got out into the wilderness, she was easily disoriented. The stars were no use to her if she had no idea how to read them, and she had never been very studious. Cornered in a tree, hiding from beasts below, she looked up to the stars and silently begged them to guide her like they had guided her mother. There was no immediate answer.

But then her mind was taken to a far away place, across the expanse of the sky and into the realm that the stars themselves inhabited. A burning, radiant but terrible light seared her eyes and her mind as an eye opened up in the middle. She literally felt as if a spear had pierced her through the heart. It asked her if she would swear an oath to it, and she agreed. She would have agreed to anything to make that terrible pain stop. And stop it did.

She woke up in a warm, strange bed in a town that was apparently not very far from her home. But she couldn't return now. They were wrong. Everything that they thought about the stars were absolutely wrong. If they never had to find out about what they really were, then that was the greatest gift she could give them now. So she left the town, traveled under the stars with the aid of the wondrous powers her new patron had given her.

For a time she traveled with a gang, for financial stability, and even had their mark of her right arm, but they had a falling out and now she merely wanders.

I like the character design Would this have anything to do with one of the roleplaying games you've showed Sarah and I?

Well, it's a DnD character, but I don't have a campaign to play her in.
