Garu was adopted into a human noble family based in Eston. On the Day of Mourning, Garu was adventuring in the Eldeen Reaches and didn’t get word of Cyre's destruction until months had passed.
She returned to find a wall of dead-gray mist between her and her former homeland. Although she has made several forays into the Mournland to reach her family estate, each time she has been driven back by living spells, warforged patrols bearing the Lord of Blades’ standard, or mutated monsters. Garu believes her family was wiped out in the cataclysm, but she wishes to see the family estate one last time and retrieve a memento or two.
