History: Pre-Creation: Astreia was brought up by her Father, Aleicis, who met her Mother, Malkaiapa, while she was on what the Chaktawe call 'The Searching' and he was travelling to the Eyktol Region to venture into the Tomb city of Hai, where he had heard there was a multitude of gold and artefacts. Malkaiapa convinced him out of it, and in due course they fell in love. Although Aleicis asked her to return to Wind Reach with him, she refused, and gave birth to Astreia before returning to her tribe. Aleicis returned to Wind Reach and, in due course, paired up with Tmira, having six other children with her - Endire and Pelix, Lyra, Aenadia, Taelia, Raelli. Astreia is very fond of her younger siblings and didn't know that Tmira wasn't her mother until she was told in her early teen years. It was, in many ways, a great relief to her as she had always felt like an outsider vis-a-vis the society she had been brought up in. Eventually, in the Fall of 511, she left Wind Reach and travelled towards Zeltiva, stopping off at various points. Unfortunately, on the way in mid-winter 512, she got captured in the wildlands and enslaved. Taken to Nyka by her new master, she found herself prey to constant abuse inflicted by him and mistrustful of his magic, juxtaposed with eventual feelings of tenderness he said he had for her... and her own conflicted feelings for him. It has been a difficult situation, made all the more difficult by the rejection of his advances. Although he hasn't forced her, he has treated her all the worse for it and expects to eventually 'break her spirit'.

NPC: Astreia's Master Name: Waldemar Race: Mixed Blood - Half Zith, Half Vantha Birthday: 2nd of Autumn - 483 AV Gender: Male Languages: Fluent in Common and Vani. Good knowledge of Zith. Age: 29 Character Concept: A tall and handsome wizard, Waldemar has never been subject to much hardship, if not an early knowledge of death. His mother was a Vantha slave to his father, a Zith and though he never treated her very well, he was always very good with the child she bore him. Aged six, his mother died and he was taken to Syliras where he was brought up entirely by his father in relative luxury. Then when he was twelve and his father died, he left Syliras within a few days for Zeltiva. The next six years were spent studying magical theory at the University and experiencing all the brawling, books and pleasure of the flesh which the city had to offer. Eventually, aged twenty, he moved to Nyka where he became a citizen, practising his magic in the city. At the end of Autumn 512, on a trip to the Wildlands, he captured Astreia and enslaved her. Understanding Waldemar's personality is difficult, but it is much like his appearing. The bold streak of white in his dark hair is like the streak of goodness, mercy and humility in his otherwise dark and selfish character.
