Editing Antheia Silverthorn

<td><p align="justify">Antheia was born into an enclave of Moon Elves that had splintered off from Silverymoon centuries ago as they sought to establish a land of their own, one with greater religious tolerance. Because all of the group's members, who were primarily followers of Mielikki, regarded the veneration of nature as central to their beliefs. And their wandering pilgrimage, which eventually led them to the Ten-Towns area of Icewind Dale, was their final act of peaceable dissent.</p></td>

<td><p align="justify">Life upon the frigid tundra was initially difficult for them, but the Moon Elves perservered and even prospered to a certain extent due to their collective survival skills. However, their numbers never grew, only dwindled over time, as they eked out a gray existence just a few leagues east of current-day Bryn Shander. However, Antheia's recent auspicious birth sparked a flicker of hope, for she was found to be naturally gifted in the ancient druidic ways.</p></td>

<td><p align="justify">To the enclave, the young elven woman was a living embodiment of their ideals. So they groomed her to be their envoy, the one they would send back south to proselytize others of their kind to help bolster their numbers. Unfortunately, Antheia's trip was cut short, for while she was in Luskan she received word that her mother had gone missing. She immediately made plans to return home, even going so far as to getting herself hired on as a guard with the last caravan heading north. Now, it's a race against time to reach the Dale before winter locks the North/South Pass in its icy grip.</p></td>
