250 AC.
As the world struggles to pull itself from the chaos sowed by
the
Cataclysm, members of every race seek a way home. Dwarves
outside their
mountain homes continue to search for a way inside.
Humans of all nations
seek to restore order and find what "home"
means. Elven travellers, long
finding themselves persecuted
outside their sacred homes, journey back.

From this last group,
a family of Qualinesti seek to return home, their
newborn
daughter finally well enough to travel. They had been part of
an
expedition to restore relations between Qualinost and
Silvanost - an
expedition that had failed. They travel with
caravans or sell what few
priceless trinkets they have to pay for
protection, but going is slow.

Their daughter spends her infant
years on the road. As she is beginning to
walk, her parents are
betrayed by another family. A Khurish family of
mercenaries, the
al-Marads coveted the elven family's concealed wealth and
killed
them for it. They were unable, however, to kill the elven baby
and
decided to raise it as their own.

But to elves, humans are
short lived and by the time the elf, Xiaofei,
showed the first
signs of adulthood, she had been through 5 al-Marad
fathers. She
had brought increasingly wise council and skill and was
each
father's favorite. She learned Khurish mercenary life:
fighting mounted when
the family could afford it, they usually
relied on stealth and speed while
on foot.

But the Khurish
tribes were uniting under the leadership of a Salah-Khan.
Reports
were that pay and accomodations were good. More
importantly,
something within pushed Xiaofei to enlist. Some deep
and buried spark that
she hadn't felt before. She would see how
true the stories of this
Dragonarmy were.
