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. She had long been betrothed to the Sun Prince, eldest son of the Summer Queen. The prince, whose name is forgotten, loved Sharaea with all his heart, and for a time she loved him in return. However Sharaea grew disillusioned with the endless revelry of the court, and she began to spend her days in the mortal world of Eberron, seeking to make a difference. Her summer lover grew jealous, but his attempts to pull her back only drove her farther away. She found new love in the arms of Hayne Kasar, a brave and selfless warrior, and together they fought to defend the innocent and battle the forces of darkness.
Sharaea traveled at the side of her beloved. Their deeds and great love inspired songs, some of which survive to the present day. In Sharaea's absence, the heart of the fey prince grew colder, and in time he demanded that his betrothed return to the court. He insisted that she honor her vow and be wed to him. When Sharaea refused, the prince swore to capture and marry her, even if he had to keep her a prisoner in his demesne. Sharaea knew she could not resist his power, and she feared for the safety of her mortal lover.
So it was that she and Hayne ventured to Letherna and made a deal with The Raven Queen. In exchange for a favor to the goddess of death in the future, their souls were drawn from their bodies and cast forward in time. One day they shall be reborn. It was Sharaea's hope that the passage of time would soothe the jealous heart of the Sun Prince.
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.
