In a time now forgotten, no winter ever gripped the Feywild domain known now as the Vale of the Long Night. The region was a place of light and joy. As home to the Summer Queen’s eldest son, it reflected the Summer Court where the vale’s inhabitants spent most of their time. In that court, the children of summer passed the long days with song and celebration, basking in the bright beauty and the company of friends.
Three of the brightest lights of the court were the Daughters of Delight, scions of another eladrin domain connected to the Summer Court. Loveliest of the three was the Lady Sharaea. But when Sharaea chose to instead reside in the mortal realm of Eberron, her betrothed grew bitter and cold. When she made a deal with The Raven Queen to be reincarnated in the future, she was lost to them entirely. Sharaea's sisters, Velayn and Loralae were filled with despair at the loss of their sibling, and the Sun Prince captured them in their sister’s stead. His bitter power magnified their sorrow and bound them to his frozen heart. They wasted away, and soon the Daughters of Delight were no more. In their place were the Sisters of Lament, chill shades of the lovely females haunting the winter winds.
