Elliona barely remembers her parents; she's vaguely aware that she had a human father and an elf mother, and that they were killed when bandits attacked their trade caravan in the Jade Pass, but she was scarcely a toddler then.  A pack of wolves heard the crying child when they came to scavenge the dead, and a young mother among them took pity on the strange, hairless pup with its piteous mewling.  She was not with the pack long, as a druid from the Circle of the Grass Sea happened across the pack shortly thereafter, and she was raised among them.

It was clear from a young age that Elli was on her way to joining the druids, as she had a near-magical way with animals already.  But it became a certainty when Saena chose her after the death of its last bearer, when she had completed only the earliest of initiations.  She had the temperament the heirloom favors - inquisitive, empathetic, but obstinate and uncompromising when finally roused to anger (fortunately, her youthful tantrums gave way to more productive outlets).

Before the Feywild crashed into the mundane world, the druids of the Circle of the Grass Sea had taken upon themselves the less-than-pleasant task of negotiating boundaries with the fey who would cross from their plane.  The vulnerable settled pastoral communities of the Sundered Steppe were enticing targets for their traditional raids for infants and other such 'mischief', and the Circle couldn't be everywhere at once, so they negotiated limits to the fey's predations and the terms of reprisal if that was violated.  When the Fall began, they assumed it was an outright invasion, and while the embittered elders continue to see it that way - or at least, want to justify wiping out the fey 'invaders' wherever they appear - younger members have been less certain.  Elli, after butting heads with her elders a few too many times, has left on a quest to find the truth, trying to learn from what other Circles and other mystical institutions have discovered and maybe find ways for some of the 'immigrants' to peacefully join the world.  ...at least, she still holds out hope for that.
