Backstory

In the Znir Pact there are those who tend to not stray beyond the borders of Droaam. Those who are raised and trained to master their inner demons and to understand them enough to better hunt fiendish threats. Myrl was one such member of the Vult clan and in the beginning, didn't expect to leave her homeland. Instead she hunted the servants of those who had once enslaved her people as disposable soldiers, acting as both defender and predator.

She might have stayed there, but times had changed for the Gnolls of the Znir Pact. More and more of them operated in the lands to the east and the end to the war meant shifting times for their roles. Finding employment was not difficult given the number of smaller conflicts in play, as well as various organisations and individuals having need of skilled trackers, guards and bodyguards.

All this combined to a slightly reluctant Myrl being informed by senior matriarchs she was to be one of a number of Hwyri operating in the five kingdoms and for her part, she was dispatched to Sharn, to seek out employment there alongside her duties in remaining vigilant for demonic influences.
