Backstory

Saleyas comes from a large clan of sea elves living on and around the Teyrannel Isles, a chain of mid-ocean coral atolls far off the normal trade routes, with outside visitors a thing that would happen once in decades. The Teyrannel elves live in a careful balance with the sea life around them, only occasionally finding themselves in conflict with roving sahaugin or the odd sea monster. For the Teyrannel, there is nothing unusual about growing up as Saleyas did, learning to swim, hunt and gather among the many creatures living around the islands.

One in particular, though, fascinated the young Saleyas, an old and battle-scarred shark her people nicknamed Blue. Dared to it by her cousins, Saleyas learned to swim alongside Blue, matching the beast's behavior until Blue no longer recognized Saleyas as any sort of prey animal at all. The initial thrill she'd felt on merely approaching the great predator died away, until in order to same the same rush of life, Saleyas began to join Blue's company when the shark would hunt -- and ultimately, to fight alongside him, losing herself in the stalk and and the kill. More and more, Saleyas found herself only feeling truly free when out in the open ocean in Blue's company.

And then one day, the great predator Blue became prey herself. Saleyas flew into a blind rage, and slew the orca that had attacked and killed BLue. To this day, she wears her friend's teeth around her neck as a remembrance.

Following that day, Saleyas withdrew into herself, continuing to hone her battle skill, but drawing away from her fellows. This behavior came to alarm the leaders of the Teyrannel clan. They deemed that Saleyas had the potential to be a great warrior and leader for the clan -- but that she would need to learn to be more than a predator. So, they decreed that she would have to leave the Isles on the Radnin Bar, the journey to find the self. Setting off on a small skiff with minimal possessions besides her great sea-lance, Saleyas traveled far over the ocean, looking to test herself against the distant seas.

Ultimately, though, she ran afoul of a mighty typhoon, and her little boat was wrecked. Far from any known settlements, Saleyas might have been able to forage for herself in the sea, but this would bring her no nearer her goal. So it may have been the hand of destiny that brought her in sight of the Fair Wind. She readily offered to put her hand to work her passage to the ship's destination -- not knowing that it was bound for the notorious haven of Freeport.
