'''Background'''

Tereza was born in Trakke, in a reclusive community of the Clanless. It was founded in the past by a group of women from various Trakken clans, tired of the constant arguments and skirmishes between the clans. And although over time some people who had been cast out from their clans had sought refuge there, that is what the community in large part still was. A mostly female group of people who chose to live outside the clan structure.

The Clanless were not well regarded by the clan leaders or the Trakken King whose authority they rejected, but they were generally left alone. The founders had been a group of wise women keeping old animistic traditions, and they had brought their traditions with them and taught them to younger generations. Thus the Clanless were also called by another name - witches.

As was the Trakken way, the community was self-sufficient, and even turned a profit. In their constant competition, many clans sought to employ the craft of the witches and their mystical recipes, that the scholars in more civilized regions called Alchemy

Tereza would probably have been able to live a happy life in the community, but she grew up into a young, restless woman who came to feel that by selling their services to the clans, the Clanless witches just contributed to the strife they claimed to detest, when they could be using their knowledge and powers to push for unity. After butting her head for a while with the older witches - who usually came on top in the exchanges - Tereza finally had enough. Leaving the community, she headed out of Trakke, determined to join the Creed and use her powers not for profit but for the good of all.
